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.

“I have a super anxious doggo and Bobby gave me peace of mind during my trip. She’s has good communication, checks in daily, very clean and caring. Also kept my garden alive and thriving! Did a lot of socializing with my dog which he loved! Thank you! Will book again soon ?”
“Brandi was amazing! She took fantastic care of my pups. She continuously provided photos, stories, and updates daily. If there were any unforeseen issues that arose, she handled it very professionally and kept me in the loop the whole time. It was a relief to know that I left my pups in capable and loving hands!! She even left a bag of treats for my pups at the end and they love them!”
“Sarah took excellent care of our pup, chickens, and home! She sent lots of pics everyday and was very communicative. Our doggy is shy but she won him over :)”
“Erica went above and beyond for our dogs. She helped us out in a bind with a last-minute booking/availability and quickly came by to meet the pups. It was so nice to leave town for a night and not have to worry about them, and she kept us updated often with texts and pictures. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Erica!!!”
“Izabelle was great! She clearly loves animals and seemed very comfortable caring for my older dog, which put me at ease. She communicated clearly and sent me pictures of my pup along the way. I felt safe having her watch my home as well. Would definitely work with Izzy again. :)”

Margot sent me daily pics and updates and Betty certainly seemed to be having a great time with her. My house was also in perfect order upon my return. I will definitely request Margot's services again!”
“Maya was amazing! She took great care of my pups for a week and sent many updates and photos. I came home to a super tidy house and she even ensured that my flag and wreath didn't blow away in a bad windstorm. I will definitely book with Maya again!”
About: I am an animal lover and have taken care of many different pets my whole life. I have worked with many different breeds of dogs over the years and have experience with large, small, young, old, as well as special needs dogs. I am also able to administer medication if needed. I am not comfortable using choke or shock collars, but I am okay with gentle leads. I really love all animals and will care for yours as if they were my own. I currently work full time as an artist, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for walks and check ins during the weekdays and weekends. I have two cats at home who do not do well with dogs and other cats, so I cannot watch pets at my home. I can have dogs at my grandmothers home though. She loves pets and has a large home with a large yard on the east side of town.
“Melanie did a great job watching our two dogs for a week at our home. The dogs were happy and the house was in great shape. Would definitely work with Melanie again.”
About: I've been a dedicated pet caregiver for 5 years, including 2 years caring for a senior dog in North Carolina - managing medication schedules and gentle exercise routines - plus ongoing care for my own cat at home. I also have experience training puppies on basic commands like sit, stay, and come, using positive reinforcement. I'm committed to attentive, compassionate care and treat every pet like family. Im flexible for now You can calls or text to fit a schedule also i can do overnight if you need . 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: I've had dogs since I was born on and off for the past twenty six years. I have fallen in love with all of fur babies. Im very attentive and mindful of dog behaviors. And we'll adapt to the situation when needed. I am on a sabbatical and am looking for some adventure. With a passion for animals this is my perfect avenue to find that adventure. I have no problem traveling between clients, and adjusting the preferences, depending on the fur baby. I am a loving and warm spirit and doesn't mind taking time to get to now the fur baby before anything proceeds.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Bridget was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs while we were away and gave us real peace of mind during our vacation. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our pups. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Jes and her husband were the best first Rover experience we could have asked for! Great to communicate with, took excellent care of our dog, Leeloo, and left our home spotlessly clean. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, all of our anxieties were immediately put at ease and everything went great!
Maia has been great! We've had her sit for us several times now and she has done great managing our chaotic 4 pet household while we've been out of town. Unfortunately we're moving out of the area and we're really going to miss having her as a sitter but I highly recommend her to anyone looking!
Had a good experience with our pet sitter! From the very beginning, Ericson was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. Furbabies were happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we returned. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Eric’s services to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Anchorage walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Anchorage maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 .

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.
