“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.”

About: Can I adventure with your best friend? We will go hike,run,bike, play and have a blast outside! Rain or shine! Let me tire out your pup in the Alaskan outdoors! I am located in Palmer in a cabin in the woods. I have an old golden retriever and a young husky that will keep your pup company. I work from home, so I can spend the whole day with your pup! Typically we would be going for a walk daily with lots of loves! I have access to a large private garden for fetch sessions. We will also go for hikes and adventures!

“Ryan is amazing with both our big dogs. They just adore her! The real kicker was Bean (our mean old cat) took an immediate shine to her. 10 out of 10 stars dogs, cats, and humans agree! We will for sure be using Ryan again.”


About: I’m am all about the needs of your pets. I have watched dogs that need walks three times a day to once a day. I had a cat that needed an inhaler and steroid medications daily. I’m here to help you have a stress free trip knowing your baby is being taken care like you would. I send picture every other day for updates whiles gone. I clean, willing to help clean poop or not. I was dog sitting when we had the earthquake and was able to keep my customers dog calm until she returned home from her trip. I’m here to make you and your pets comfortable. I don’t smoke or drink so you won’t need to worry about anything around your precious little guy. I have references you can call just ask! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!
About: Hi there! I have been training and working with dogs of all ages for over 10 year now. Never too old to learn a new trick:) I am extremely versatile and happy to adapt to your pups speed. I love adventuring along side mans best friend. I love long hikes too:) As well as being a dog trainer I am also a horse trainer! I have trained dogs to work with horses, bikes, and on or off the leash walks:) Excited to meet your pup! I am currently working towards my bachelors in nursing. I am doing most of it online therefore I have a very flexible schedule! Always looking for more time and adventures with dogs. Patients is key! I understand not every dog is ready to jump into a new environment! And I am ready to work with them. Whether it is fear of being created, scared of new trails or people. We will work through it together(maybe with a little help from treats!) I am very aware of diets and allergies. And will keep your friend as safe as I would keep my own!
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!
“Jayda was great! She communicates very well, and gave lots of photos/updates which I loved. She also accommodated a rather last minute booking for me, and she was very professional and easy to work with.”

About: I attended veterinary science at kcc for two years and continued on after that interning at clinics. CPR certified for pups & avid dog lady. Will love and care for your pups like they're my own. I am also well versed in dog allergic reactions and common diseases/infections & will alert you accordingly. I started my own dog walking/poop scooping business at 12 that I ran until I was 16 with over 10 returning clients! Caring for dogs has always felt like it’s what I’m supposed to do(: I work from home so I spend my days with my pup alternating between walks, car rides and work! I also have 2 cats who (as most cat lovers know) usually keep to themselves though I have seen them become affectionate with some dogs with calmer temperaments! My life revolves around these little critters and if you entrust me with your furry friend they will quickly become part of the pack and my life will revolve around them too while I have them! My home is a two story two bedroom home with a fenced yard and is fully doggie proofed/puppy proofed. I am a dog lady so I do allow dogs on my furniture and bed(unless I'm told otherwise by owners). I live about 5 minutes walking distance from a fenced dog park which I visit regularly and I take drives to Klatt field fenced in dog park regularly. I run a fairly lenient but still well kemp ship here, we all sit on the couch and hangout together and they’re all allowed on the bed at bedtime with me (unless I’m told otherwise). If a crate is needed I do have one kennel fit for an up to 80lbs dog that I keep in my downstairs room! If you’re inquiring about house sitting then consider me there! My husband and I both take care of our animals so if I am at your house, my animals won’t be an issue(:
About: I have a love and compassion for all animals. it’s as important to me to treat animals with the same dignity, respect, caring, and compassion as any other living thing on this earth. I have had dogs around me all my life. I have been a pet owner my whole life, so much to the point where lost pets found sanctuary at my home until their owns could locate my home.I Have done experience dog fostering for cats and dogs over the last ten years, as well all information can be proven with supportive pictorial evidence and owner testimony. It would be my honor to provide a safe, healthy and happy investment for the pets and absents of there owners presents. If you have anymore questions please reach out to me. Thank you Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule specific times for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other necessary tasks. I prioritize the well-being of the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. It's all about creating a structured and loving environment for our furry friends! 🐾❤️ My current work full time, I start in the 10pm and I get off at 7am. I don’t have any other obligations.😊 When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment. I provide a cozy space for them to relax, play, and sleep. Regular exercise, feeding, and plenty of water are part of the routine. If there are any specific instructions or preferences, I follow them closely. For clients who prefer pet care in their own home, I make sure to maintain their pets' regular routines. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any necessary medication administration. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, providing them with the love and attention they need while their owners are away.
About: My name is Aubrie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I live in an apartment with the dog park on my same floor, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! He is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was old enough to take care of myself. As a child, we had cats in our family. As I grew older, I became the resident animal sitter for the neighborhood. I would walk, feed, and play with them for extra money. As an adult, I regularly watch my friends dogs and cats while they are out of town, staying in their homes, as to not disturb the routines of the beloved furry friends. I love their company. I’m currently work for myself, and can accommodate to the needs of the animals I watch. I own a business doing bodywork, and am flexible day to day. I’m available to watch your home and your pets. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so I am flexible to accommodate.
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.
About: Much like Romulus and Remus, I was raised with/by dogs growing up! I absolutely love dogs! Big dogs, lil dogs, fluffy dogs, energetic dogs, old dogs all dogs are great. I am currently without my 5 year old black lab for the next 6 months and want to get pets and walks to make up for the lost time with my pupperonni! My dogs name is Wanda, she is great but a ball of energy (like most labs). I have had her since she was a puppy and she is crate trained, house trained and just a very good girl! She is the light and soul of my life (dont tell my GF) ! I am trying to be healthy and would love to have a dog to walk with when I explore Sumter! I am shift work but will balance my schedule accordingly to walk dogs or let them out when required. I mostly work night shift allowing me to have the flexibility during the day to get out for walks and stay active! I am a 30 year old guy with no kids. My dog is my kid. My daily routine I had with Wanda was to let out every morning and play fetch with her or walk her. I would then bring her inside to calm down, I’d shower and then go back downstairs to feed her since she’s caught her breathe and cooled off by then. After she’s eaten I would let her out potty again and then she is chill for the day until evening time where I would bring her out on another walk or a swim at my cottage at home which I’m dearly missing and then when she has calmed down from that I would feed her dinner. Most nights I try to do 10ish mins of training with her and she loves the treats anyways so it’s very easy. She knows sit, stay (for a long time and a big distance), paw (both), she can spin, she can do a tunnel (go between my legs) and she can spin around me and sit on my left or right side! I will admit she is a lab and very food driven/motivated so training her was relatively easy with the right treats. She is the best and I miss my dog and want to be able to play with other people’s dogs!
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 15 years, housesitting, feeding and fostering newborn puppy litters as well. I’m very specific with the procedures that consist of taking care of your pet. I’m currently free and will meet with you and your pet(s) beforehand. Taking care of your animals is my number 1 priority, I’m very flexible with scheduling/extensions on dates already scheduled as I understand last minute changes come up! I stay with your pet in home so they are comfortable with their known environment. Any other requests to make them feel most at home while you’re away is always welcome. (Specific routines, blankets, treats, toys, etc.)
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two corgis of my own, Chimi and Churro, so caring for pups is just part of my everyday life. They’re my little adventure buddies, and we love being outside together, going on walks, exploring trails, and soaking up fresh air. Because I’m used to handling my own energetic dogs daily, I’m comfortable with all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn energy, playtime, or slower, gentle care, I’m happy to match their pace and routine. My goal is lots of love, exercise, and a very happy dog. Im currently working at a dental office Monday-Thursday 9am-5:30pm. So I’m available most weekdays if you need a quick walk or drop-ins, if not I'm available Friday-Sunday with whatever pet needs you may have! In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space like my own. I make sure pets feel calm and comfortable by keeping their environment familiar and stress-free. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. On walks, dogs are always leashed and closely supervised. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free.
About: I have experience with senior and special needs dogs and cats as well as happy and healthy pets. I have a love for animals and grew up in 4-H.

I keep a flexible daily routine in order to accommodate potty breaks and exercise! Keeping your home secure and well cared for during winter and beyond are a top priority. Your house will remain clean and tidy, I always leave a clients home as good or better than I find it!
About: I grew up in Alaska with a goldendoodle named Kinley and a tabby cat I rescued named Chance, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Now that I’m back home in Alaska after graduating college, I’ve continued fostering dogs and helping care for pets with different personalities and energy levels. Fostering has helped me become comfortable with shy dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets adjusting to new environments. I’m active, reliable, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is super flexible. I’m usually able to accommodate requests with a little advance notice. Send me a message and let's chat! Through fostering dogs and caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether that means getting enough exercise, sticking to their routine, or giving them extra patience and attention while their owners are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Catherine was so easy to work with and did a great job of taking care of my dog while I was away. She did great with giving me updates and i love that she took the time to actually spend time with him as vs just taking care of the basics. 100% would work with her again ☺️

Sinead is amazing at just rolling with whatever is thrown her way. She was amazing with my dog and did a fantastic job keeping me up to date while I was away on a last minute work trip. I'm so thankful that she was able to help me out on such short notice. Fantastic work Sinead!

We had a wonderful experience with Maleah! She truly went above and beyond to keep our dogs comfortable and happy while we were away. She took them on walks, made sure they were well cared for, and even vacuumed, which we really appreciated. She was incredibly sweet, reliable, and clearly cares a lot about animals. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Anchorage is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 472 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Anchorage. 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.
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 Anchorage 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Anchorage with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
