“Erica checked in on our cat while we were out of town for a few days—she was punctual, communicative, and our cat clearly enjoyed playing with her! We will definitely contact Erica again when we need somebody to watch our cat.”
About: hi everyone!! my name is Kristina, a transplant from Bellingham, WA and it is so lovely to meet you! I have been connecting and caring for animals since a young child. From starting a dog sitting business as an 11 yr old (short lived but to volunteering at local shelters and assisting in the vet clinic, I have had the privilege of learning from and caring for our furry friends for a lifetime. My partner and I will be relocating to Anchorage and looking to sit together. When I’m not in search of the next furry friend to meet, I am typically out on the land climbing, laying on the grass, or dancing in the rain. I work in Youth Development and dream of bridging my love of animals, with therapeutic methods someday! I will be located in the Anchorage area for the whole month of October! I will be relocating with my partner and looking to sit together. My weekly schedule is incredibly open for all pet needs. Mornings, and afternoons on weekdays typically work best as well as weekend house sitting needs! Looking forward to connecting with you more :) As a cat momma myself, I understand how difficult it can be entrusting others for the care of our precious animals. As much as I value the connection I build with your animals, I want to connect and build trust with you as well! I believe every pet deserves care and love that is met at their speed. I value creating a genuine connection with your animal and commit to always working to ‘tune in’ with them. I meet them right where they are with lots of patience, gentle encouragement, and love. My background as a vet assistant and shelter volunteer has given me a deep understanding of animal body language, stress signals, and medical needs. I feel confident in reading what a pet is telling me and make sure they feel totally secure. Because I want pets to feel as happy and relaxed as possible, I currently focus exclusively on house sitting!
“Alejandra was amazing with our cats and was also kind enough to bring in packages from outside and help us with another favor! She also always sent great pictures of our cats! Highly recommended to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets.”
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’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, and have a lot of experience handling both big and small dogs. I also have experience giving dogs medicine and taking care of dogs with special needs as one of my dogs has to wear diapers. In addition I have expected taking care of both senior and young dogs. I don’t have a cat, but I’ve taken care of cats for a couple years by helping out my friends, family, and neighbors. I am able to work with senior cats or kittens and don’t mind if they are not too social as well. I’m currently on summer break and about to leave for college in the fall, so I am wanting a job that is easy to break away from. Due to this I am fairly open and have plenty of time to help people with pet care. I am completely willing to stop by and help take care of your pets needs whether that’s feeding them, taking them for a walk, giving medicine, or just spending time with them.
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've been taking care of family dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have also always had a deep love for dogs specifically. I formerly helped handle dogs for a musher for 3 years and partook in part time sprint mushing as well. I still help mushers at races. I know basic first aid for animals should it ever be needed. I'm just looking for extra work to help pay bills as my youngest son races sled dogs and anything helps fund the sports. I do part time on call work that involves travel from time to time, but if I have something set up with Rover I can decline. I currently do not offer in home care as I rent with 2 inside dogs. One of them is my Chewie. He will not need to come to your house unless you are comfortable with it and ok with having a playdate. Otherwise he will stay at home and hang out with the family while I am off working. I am dependable, love animals, and love being active.
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 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.

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.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
