“Outstanding! Laura took such great care of our puppy, and was so easy to work with, even with short notice. Always prompt and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. Definitely recommend her!!”
About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.
About: I am a life long dog lover, raising dogs for the entirety of my first 18 years of life. While we live in a home where we can't keep dogs. At home we care for a menagerie of pets, including 1 cat, 2 rabbits, 3 degus, 2 budgies, 1 cockatiel, 1 painted turtle and keep 5 freshwater aquariums! I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. I try to fit in 3-5 dog walks per week. Sometimes more if my schedule allows. I am always very mindful of any pets in my care. We have a cockatiel who we allow to fly around the house, so I am always very watching and aware, ensure doors and windows are treated with care to ensure the safety of my pets.
About: I have owned dogs since I was 8 years old and have dog sat off and on over the last 10 years. I am very reliable caregiver who is intuitive to dogs needs. I strive to treat both you and your dog with kindness and respect. I live in a duplex with a large fenced in backyard. There are a couple of trails within walking distance of my house as well that are perfect for long walks. I will gladly follow any special requests by clients to ensure the pet is taken care of the way they prefer. I will treat not only the pet with love and respect but your home as well. I am currently working Monday - Friday 8am - 4pm. I am available Monday - Thursday 5pm until 9pm. Fridays 5pm until 12:00am. I am available most weekends after 10am until but I am flexible with my weekend hours. I currently work from 8am - 4pm Monday - Friday. I am able to let your dogs out during the work week prior to going to work and after. My boyfriend lives close to our house and he can also come home on his lunch break to let the dog outside. When I have a pet in my home, I spend all my time (besides my working hours) at my home with your pet. Since I do not work weekends, I will be at home with your pet the entire time. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space for your pup to run around. If you prefer me to watch the dog in your home, I am happy to do so. If I am watching your pet at your home I will treat your home with respect. I am happy to get your mail, water your plants, and complete any other household chores you need while you are away. I like to learn your pets schedule so they are as comfortable as possible whether I watch your pet in my home or yours.
“Abigail did an excellent job taking care of my two cats over the holidays. She handled the instructions for my elders cat's medicine and particular feeding well. Overall I would trust her in the future to watch them again.”
“Aaron was fantastic! He was prompt, reliable, and took the time to come by beforehand to meet my dogs and go over their routine. While I was away, he spent quality time with my two fur babies and even sent me photos during his visits, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was reassuring to know they were so well cared for while I was out of town. I highly recommend Aaron and will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I have several years of experience with every breed of animal! I will treat your babies like my own! I have a passion for working with all types of animals I will work around what days and times you need! I am a very reliable person that will show up anytime you need assistance! 🫶🏻 I am a very dependable person! I will give your animals the up most attention! You will sense the safety and security as soon as you meet me
“Elyse came by four mornings in a row to train on how to give insulin injections to our dog Bindi. Every morning, she was on time and both of our doggies were thrilled to see her. We love how she takes time to greet them! Better yet, now we are confident that if we leave the dogs for a longer period of time, she will be able to give Bindi his injection.”
About: I understand your pet is important to you. I will treat your pet as my own, offering engagement, play time, enrichment activities and a peace of mind. I train my own dog for obedience competitions, and I know he is happy when his tail wags. I have learned how to read a dogs behavior and go out of my way to ensure they are living their best life. Each dog that books a service will receive a complimentary gift bag of treats! Someone is home all day. I work near my home, I have flexibility allowing me to come home when needed. Your pup will have a plenty of toys and puzzles to stay busy. I have a kennel area for potty (so it's not all over the yard). Dogs are let out on a long line (33ft) as we wait for our fence to be put up. We are very intentional about how we care for dogs and we have found, dogs don't mind the long line since they still get to run their tails off! There are young children who are excited about dogs who love meeting new dogs. The children in my home are familiar with my standards of pet care, and know what it means to respect a dog. I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs who are dog neutral. My youngest dog is being trained for competitive obedience, one who recently retired and one who retired 2 years ago and works as a therapy dog as well as demonstration dog. He helps many dogs overcome their obstacles to becoming the well mannered pet many families crave. He is a gentle giant, I've learned much from him. He is always happy to see another dog, and understands respectful greetings, he is mild mannered and loves to play when released to do so. I am a runner, so if you are interested in a daily run for your pet during their stay, please notify me of this. My life is built around caring for pets. This was done intentionally and I am grateful for the opportunity to have your dog in my care. I can easily crate your dogs if needed. They are care for as my own. Each dog will be sent home with a treat bag made from single ingredient treats that we make.
About: All three of our animals are besties and our whole world. My husband and I have had pets my entire life :) my husband and I work together to take the best care of your animals in our home or yours! Currently my husband and I work opposite schedule, someone is often home with the animals. If not, we will confirm you are comfortable with the duration we leave (if care is in our own home). I will care for your pet in any way that is needed or requested! We give lots of attention and care because we know that pets can be uncomfortable in a new environment or with a new person! We want your pet to be comfortable in any space!
About: I love all dogs very much! I have always had a dog my entire life and I think I always will! I am a very active person so I will play and walk as long as your dog desires! I used to nanny quite often in 2019 and 2020 but things got busy when I got pregnant again so I’m ready to jump back in and take care of your pets! I am available Monday-Thursday 9am-11am and some afternoons sometimes and some Saturdays sporadically. I know how to cuddle, play, run, and love your babies as much as you do! They will be very well loved and taken care of as I have 2 dogs and one kitty of my own and I have 3 kids who love animals! I am a SAHM and pick up my kiddos at different times so I’m on the road a bit which is perfect so I can come and help out your fur babies! I always keep a very close eye on your furry friends and will make sure they are safe at all times! I love to give animals love and attention that they need!
“Rachael always does a great job! She is definitely my top choice for my cats. She takes wonderful care of them, sends a great report and takes 10+ photos every time.”
About: I have been with rover, dog bording, since 2018. I love animals, they are my favorite. I pet every dog I see. I have also been around animals my whole life. When I was younger I had a dog named rocky, he was a cocker spaniel and a beagle mix, I had him for 13 years. When we had to put him down part of my soul left, he was my best friend. I know what its like to love your beautiful animals, through hard times they are always there for us. They are all created with beautiful souls, we are so lucky to have something like that by our sides. With that being said, I would love to take in your pet as if it were my own. Thank you for reading. Ps.I do NOT have cats or any animals. For some reason it says I have cats. 🤷♀️ I currently am a stay at home mom so I am able to be with your pups all day! I am able to get to know your dog and they dont think im a stranger when they come back! I have a lot of space to take your dog for a walk. We walk in the morning and I take them for a long walk before bed, and to crate if needed.

Thank you Laura! You were so great with our Grand Dogs Luna and Winston! It allowed our family to have a great night out with no worries! Luna is always little anxious with strangers, but Laura knew exactly how to be patient with her until she warmed up! We hope to meet you again !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alaska is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,532 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alaska. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alaska. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
