“Sinead was great with Vincent and sent photos/check-ins almost everyday. This was my first time using Rover and I booked daily check-ins instead of housesitting (what I wanted) so I can’t blame her for not being here as much as I expected but can’t blame her either. I would definitely use her again, just with the clarification up front of what exactly we expect. Overall, Vincent was happy and well taken care of!”
“Erica was incredible with my two geriatric cats. She handled their complex medical needs like they were easy, made appropriate snap decisions about their medication when I wasn’t available to answer, and communicated well throughout my trip.”
“Sarah was an amazing house sitter. She was great with both of my cats and empathetic to their individual needs. The house was spotless and both cats loved her.”
“Book Margarita! We never met her before we went overseas for almost 3 weeks, and didn't even have to worry about our place or our pet once! You can tell she's good people. Great updates every single visit. Our fussy-britches cat was clearly happy. The litter and food/water stations were inspection ready when we got home. It's soo good to have people you can count on when you need it, at a realistic price.”
“Working with Reagan for daily drop-ins was pleasant and reassuring. Her communication and flexibility were great. My clingy cat loved her and my shy cat was perfectly content.”
About: I've been pet sitting since I was in high school and have experience in cats and dogs, although I'm just looking for cat sitting jobs right now. I've been a cat lover since I was a child and have had cat family members, and cat sat for friends. Your cat's happiness and comfort is my priority! I'm working full time during the day, so in-house cat-sitting is the best option for me. I can also do twice a day visits, depending on your location. Safety of your cat is of the utmost importance to me. I ensure small items like loose strings or hair ties are kept away to prevent a choking incident, and make sure to quickly clean up any substances that are unsafe to cats. I will make sure the area is cat-proofed at all times.
About: I grew up having and takin care of pets. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs (can't board pets!). I love animals and will do anything to keep them safe and happy! I can work with puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats, even senior dogs and cats. I enjoy relaxing or playing with a pet and creating that special bond with them because having a connection with an animal can feel really special and it's eye-opening. I can pet sit in your home Sun-Thurs. On Mondays and Thursdays, I do have classes to attend from 3:30-6:30 so I will be unavailable during those times. I'd like to be full-time pet sitter at this moment :). I cannot have pets come to my home since I am living with family, we have our own pets and we don't want to risk any conflicts or issues. During the weekends (Fri-Sun) I’m usually at home to study, babysit my little cousins and my volunteer at the local cat shelter. I make sure doors and windows, anything, are locked so that pets don't escape. They tend to be curious of the outside world and would want to explore it however they can be eaten or ran over by a car and I'd hate to break that sad news to the fur baby's parents. I also make sure no tiny, swallow-able objects are on the ground so that pets don't accidentally eat it and potentially harm their insides. I also approach in a slow, calming manner so that the pet can trust and start building interest in me.
About: I’m a life long animal lover and adopted my first dog three years ago! While I am not a professional, I am a trusted caretaker of friends and family’s pets and have years of pet sitting experience. I am happy to take your dogs for walks in cold weather and snowy conditions! My work hours vary by the week and are flexible, so I am able to work around the needs of your pets! Providing quality pet care is my top priority. My care revolves around your pets needs. Whether that means lots of cuddles, enrichment activities, or long walks/runs outside - I’m ready for any adventure!
“I am so thankful to have Jennifer look after Maxine when I’m away. Maxine loves her, and cuddles up with her during their visits. The check-in photos always put a smile on my face. 10/10 recommend Jennifer!”
About: Ready to get those paws moving! As an Anchorage local, I know how important it is for our dogs to get fresh air and exercise, regardless of the weather. I specialize in high-energy walks to help burn off those "zoomies" so you can come home to a calm, happy pup. I’m punctual, active, and dedicated to making sure your dog has a safe and fun adventure every time I grab the leash. I currently do not work so I am available 24 x 7 at this time. Plenty of time to offer love & care to your fur babies. I am also available to stay or visit your place if you feel more secure that way. I'm looking for a few ongoing visits as to not only build a relationship with the fur babies but as to make the stays as stress free as possible for both human & pet. I have a 1 bed flat. Plenty of dog parks and places to go for a walk. I do have a fenced in yard but the dog parks and outside is where we like to be as a family.
About: I have always had a passion when it comes to taking care of animals. In high school, I took a veterinary assisting class at King Tech high school where I learned about how to proficiently handle animals during our labs and clinical sessions. I'm currently working part-time at the moment, which is perfect for taking care of your fur babies. I'm available in the morning from 6-11am and 5-7 pm on Tuesday-Saturday. On Sunday and Monday I'm available all day. Availability will be updated regularly on the calendar for your convenience. Please reach out with any questions! I follow all directions given and will give the best quality of love and care to your pet. I can't board anymore animals in my home but I can make home visits or provide dog walking for exercise.
About: Ive lived with and taken care of animals all my life, and love taking care of and playing with them.I always strive to make sure they get lots of pets and love.❤️ I can typically care for your animals anytime. I can only really work with animals because I can't deal with large crowds of people 5 or more due to anxiety , and I typically get along better with animals.❤️ I strive to make sure any and all of your pet's dietary, exercise , and loving needs are met to the best of my capabilities😊
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started caring for them when I was just a kid. Over the years, I’ve become the person friends, family, and neighbors trust to look after their pets. Whether it’s walking energetic puppies, feeding senior dogs, or comforting anxious rescues, I always show up with patience and care. I also work with dogs and cats in my current job, so I’m very comfortable handling a variety of needs and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and a focus on making them feel safe and happy. I work part time so I have a pretty flexible schedule currently! I’m able to do walks, check ins, or extended stays for the more anxious pets. I don’t care for pets in my own home, but when I’m in someone else’s, I treat it like my own and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I have two cats who are spoiled in the best way—they get time outside, lots of love, and all the attention they need. That same care carries over into how I treat every animal I look after. I’ll always follow your routine and make sure your pet feels comfortable and at ease while you’re away.
About: I enjoy keeping cats and dogs well and at ease while their owners are away. I’ve had many cats and a couple of dogs. I know leash commands and I like walking. I’ll keep you updated about your pets. Other than an 8-day trip in mid July, I’m available for pet care. I can work with your schedule and I’m eager to meet new clients I'm careful to protect your security while you are away. Your privacy is very important. I will visit your pets to keep them healthy and put them at ease while you are away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Catherine took such great care of my cat, Lupine! I had to book a couple drop-ins with her while I was already out of town since friends wouldn’t be available to feed him at those times, and I was a little nervous. She read all of the details I sent and made me feel at ease on my first long trip away from Lu. She fed and played with him, changed his litter, and sent great pictures. I’ll definitely book with her again!

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.

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.
