About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life from small spunky chihuahuas to heigh energy pointers. I’ve raised multiple puppies and have gone through puppy training classes with them so I am comfortable navigating the housetraining process if that’s where your pup is at. I’ve spent many years taking my dogs to dog parks where the behavior of other dogs can be unpredictable and I am comfortable managing difficult situations. I’ve also cared for diabetic dogs needing daily insulin injections. I love an excuse to spend time outdoors and don’t mind going for a hike, playing, and running around with higher energy dogs so they can get the exercise and stimulation they need outside of the house. I’ve raised puppies and lived with small to large dogs throughout my life. I’m extra mindful of the things that puppies and high energy breeds can get into. I am willing to follow whatever routine works best for your dog!
“Brando was terrific! He did a great job communicating with us & keeping us informed. He visited us before we left to meet our dogs & learn the routine. We felt confident with him accessing our home to feed and play with dogs. Our family was able to relax & enjoy our trip, knowing they were in such good hands!”


“Izzy did a great job taking care of our dog. He's took to her as soon as she walked in the door on her screening meeting. He's 15 years old and has never allowed anyone to take him on a walk besides family, but he went with Izzy. We've already booked her for another trip we have next month.”

“Bobby was attentive and wonderful! We appreciated getting pictures of our cats and she sent regular updates. She was also flexible as our plans evolved due to flight issues.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a little girl . Currently I have a two very spoiled furbabies that are my life. We like to stay active by going for walks and outings to the dog park. I love dogs and feel comfortable handling all sizes/breeds. The last two years I’ve spent at a doggie daycare/boarding facility as a handler dealing with all shapes, sizes, breeds and even reactive dogs. I enjoy being active with dogs and providing them with activities so they don't get bored/destructive. I love going to parks, playing fetch, and going on long walks. Let me know what your dog's favorite activity is and I'll do my best to accommodate! I look forward to meeting you should you decide I’m a good match for you and your fur babies! I currently only work part time, on weekend nights, so would have plenty of time to be with your pet(s)! My schedule is very open I prefer watching dogs in their own home but have some flexibility at my house to possibly watch a dog there. My two dogs go with me as well, if able.
“Amanda has watched my cat on two separate occasions now. She’s a great sitter who obviously cares a lot and has a lot of experience with animals. My kitty always seems happy and well taken care of. She’s quickly becoming my go to sitter!”

About: I have mostly done drop in play and potty visits for family member's pets, but I'm looking to expand my horizons and do overnights and general petsitting as well!

I am a full time college student and have an inconsistent work schedule at a cafe. My classes are Monday-Thurs 8a-2:30p, and typically work at the cafe Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for 7 hours. Otherwise I can do drop ins and overnights during the week and for weekends! I have two miniature schnauzers at home, Piper and Daisy. They're both super sweet girls and love cuddles and movie nights. They have a fenced yard and a doggy door for potty and play.

Please let me know :) As a pet caregiver, I offer both in-home pet care services for my clients' pets as well as care for my own pets at home. When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure that they have plenty of food and fresh water, clean litter boxes (if applicable), and comfortable bedding. I also provide daily playtime and exercise, as well as regular grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best. When providing care in my clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any other special needs their pets may have. I make sure to provide plenty of attention and affection to make the pets feel comfortable and happy in their own environment.

About: Hi! I’m Aaron, a responsible and active pet sitter based in Anchorage. I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, playtime and attention during the day, or full overnight care, I’ll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. Living in Alaska, I’m also used to handling walks and care in all kinds of weather, so your pet will still get proper exercise and attention. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pet! My schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week. I work a part time job but can make mornings and evenings work no problem! Just let me know any special request and I will accommodate the best I can! I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I respect clients’ homes, keep things clean, and send regular updates with photos. I don’t currently have my own equipment, but that may change over time.
About: I absolutely love pets, and I'm willing to bend over backwards to please your pet! I've only ever owned two dogs of my own, but I've cared for and dog-sat for many a friend over the years. I have experience with taking care of senior dogs, my own included, who often require special physical therapy for recovery or medications. I'm a teacher for the Anchorage School District, so pet care will be outside of my working hours. If your pet can remain happy at my home while I'm at work and they're okay with being alone for about 8 hours during the work day, they're welcome to stay with me. I'm available weekdays after 4 and weekends all day for at-home visits, dog walks, or other pet care. :) I have a fenced in yard and one friendly, older doggo of my own part time. (Her fur-daddy and I have shared custody, two weeks on, two weeks off). I'm familiar with giving prescriptions and care to sick doggos, as mine has been on medication for years for her heart condition, and has needed physical therapy treatments after various surgeries. I'll gladly visit your home if your pet prefers to remain in her/her environment.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life and enjoy spending time with them very much. Our home is spacious with a fenced yard on a cul de sac near the airport. My dog is very well behaved and loves company 🐾 I’m currently available for boarding 7 days a week for one to two dogs. I am usually home in the afternoon and evenings. That’s my schedule I have a fenced yard with a friendly dog. The house is spacious, dogs are allowed on the furniture. I am comfortable with crating dogs at night.
About: More than just a walk—I give every dog the care, attention, and love they deserve. I treat every pet like my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on making every walk or sitting experience safe, fun, and stress-free—for both pets and their people. Your dog isn’t just another booking—they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time throughout my day for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins while staying attentive to each pet’s individual routine. I’m organized and dependable, so your pet gets the care and attention they need without feeling rushed. Caring for pets isn’t just something I fit into my day—it’s something I look forward to. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own or a house, I provide care in my client’s home. I make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I respect each client’s home and make sure it stays clean, secure, and comfortable while they’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
About: Hi! I’m Susie. I’ve always been an animal lover and know how much our pets mean to us. For years I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs whenever they traveled, and after realizing how much I enjoy it, I decided to join Rover. At home, I have a dachshund named Nugget and a cat named Cosmo, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I live in a single-family home with my son, and we have a fully fenced backyard with a medium-sized doggy door, giving dogs plenty of room to safely play and explore. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re with us. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home 4 days a week so I am available often. Thursday I go into the office 9-5, so animal would need to handle some alone time (crated/house trained) I follow instructions left by owner and if I need any further instructions I would contact owner. I am pretty laid back and animal would have full access to home and backyard.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Catherine was amazing with Boone! She took him for wonderful walks with great photos and updates -- and even found ways to incorporate his favorite activity (ball). She was a life saver for a busy nurse and my dog absolutely loved his walks and time with her. Catherine was easy to communicate and coordinate with and always left my house in great condition and my dog happy. Would rebook any time!!

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!

Katy is fantastic! She stopped by midday to let our dog out for a potty break and even brought in our packages, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time; she kept us updated and made everything feel easy and stress-free. We’ll definitely be using her again!

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.

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 .

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 .
