“Mikayla was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She kept our high energy dog well played with, and was great understanding our grumpy cat. She was active with the pets and sent us great videos and pictures. She communicated with us immediately and left our house better than when she came. We greatly appreciated her and would rebook her in the future.”
“Kristin left our house clean and our pup even cleaner. She definitely dealt with her fair share of issues with him given his age and conditions. Would highly recommend her to all our fellow fur parents!”
“Rikki was great. Super responsive and sent us lots of photos and updates. Also very conscientious about keeping our house tidy. She washed sheets and remade the bed and left the house in great shape. And our pup look d very content!”
About: I’ve had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. I’m constantly around fur babies and fully commit to their care. I am comfortable around all dogs, big or small, always more than willing to learn how to cater to your specific animal! When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will give my undivided attention and love. I am dedicated and follow instructions extremely well, going above and beyond to complete tasks. I grew up with a Newfoundland so I am no stranger to misjudged breeds! I’m currently self employed with a very flexible weekly schedule, so plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am open to drop ins and house sitting any day of the week, although I would still stop at home daily to nurture my cat Aurora and the ferals I feed. 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup much needed exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation. 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks/litter refresh, feeding, playtime, and of course snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your fur baby so they have company and comfort in their own home, Along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks/litter refresh, meals, playtime, and cuddles.
“It was great having Skyler watch our dog! He was very well cared for and looks like he got lot of love. Skyler spent a lot of time with our pup which was a plus as well. They left our house clean and followed all the instructions we left for our dog. We got updates with pictures while we were away as well. We would absolutely recommend Skyler and would love to rebook with them next time we need someone to house sit.”
“Andrea took such great care of my dog, who after the weekend was happily tired out and had obviously gotten lots of love and cuddles! Andrea was also respectful of my home, leaving towels hung up, and cleaning up after Enola in the back yard. 10/10 reccomend!”
“Sammie was great! She arrived on time- stayed a little later too. Remy seemed happy and tired from a good night! This was our first Rover experience and we’re very pleased it went so well!”
“Isabelle house sat for us on short notice, looking after a cat and a dog. She gave us regular updates, asked questions when she had any, and kept tabs on a dog with dietary issues who was just getting over the flu. Our house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left it. Highly recommended.”
“She was very understanding of why I needed somebody to watch him and my dog really liked her watching over him. I've never left anybody in charge of him before and I would let her do it again without hesitation.”
“Isabelle dog and house sat for me when my son and I went to Reno, and did a fabulous job. Got daily updates, with lots of photos, and she gave me a real peace of mind that the goobers were in good hands. Let me also say, we're probably not your typical situation for dog sitting. I have a nearly 85 year old neighbor who we visit daily, and taking Dukie and Bella to see him while we were gone was important. Isabelle came over twice, once for a meet and greet with the doggos, and again to see the pups and meet my neighbor. I got a text from him while I was in Reno telling me how well the dogs were being taken care of and that he appreciated her coming over with them. The puppas got lots of attention, walks, and outside time (Dukie doesn't like coming in, especially this time of year). DEFINITELY will use Isabelle again the next time, and highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect person to take care of their four legged friends.”
“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”
“Cindy did an overnight for us and she was fantastic! She reached out with questions, which we appreciated as it ensured everyone was on track and being fed as they have come to expect. Cindy also responded to my text messages. The only evidence I had she was here is the toilet seat was up. :-) Cindy left the house in fantastic condition.”
About: I have been a Pack Leader at The Indoor Dog Park and Daycare since March of this year, I am now looking for a more flexible way to work with animals. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s of Biology in hopes of working with animals someday. I have lots handling experience, as well as a deep understanding of animal behavior. Take a peek at my gallery to see some of my favorite pups!! Below are some skills I practiced at The Pack: -Supervised large play groups of 25+ dogs simultaneously, ensuring safe social interactions and preventing aggressive behaviors. -Monitored canine body language and group dynamics to intervene early and de-escalate potential scuffles or stress-related issues. -Implemented safety protocols and facility rules that maintained a 100% injury-free play environment across shifts. -Observed and recorded daily changes in animal appetite, behavior, and physical health, reporting concerns promptly to management and communicating daily report cards and behavioral updates to pet owners, building strong customer loyalty and trust. -Controlled intake and release procedures, verifying owner identification and vaccination records for every dog. -Maintained strict sanitation and hygiene standards by regularly disinfecting play yards, kennels, and shared equipment. My schedule is yet to be fully set, so just ask! Anytime might work! I currently am free for a good period of time most days. I am not currently offering pet sitting at my home as it is an apartment and I don’t like confining dogs to such a small, unknown space. In the future I am hoping to have a house in the country with a large yard for my animals!
“We really enjoyed Matthew as our sitter. He was very gracious, kind and professional. He adapted well to our chaos (😂) and he cleaned up after himself! It was pretty amazing to come home to the kitchen clean, bed sheets stripped and the dogs having been walked and looking perfectly happy. Felt so good to know they were so well cared for. We would absolutely love to have Matthew again.”
“Alyssa was a great friend to our dog Max. We were able to be away and not worry About home and our pet. We would highly suggest Alyssa to anyone Needing a pet sitter. Very considerate”

“Lauren did an excellent job of taking care of Freddie the house and all our deck plants I will definitely use her again in the next few weeks Freddie has some stomach issues we are working on and she followed his feeding schedule exactly She would be a great dog sitter for anyone”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alaska
We had a great experience with Eden taking care of our two dogs. One of our dogs can take a little bit to warm up to strangers and she took the time to make sure she felt comfortable. Based on their behavior when we came home, it was obvious they had a great time with her, they acted only mildly happy to see us. That's usually a sign that they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend Eden!
Kaylee exceeded my expectations. She is conscientious, warm, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. This is the first time she watched my cat and two dogs (one dog a highly energetic and slightly annoying Aussie) and I really hope she will come back to sit them again. What a huge gift it is to be able to go away and feel totally comfortable leaving your loved ones with someone you truly trust. Kaylee is that person.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alaska
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alaska on Rover is $37.81 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 930 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alaska. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Alaska walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Alaska maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alaska choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alaska. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
