“Olga has taken great care of our visually impaired cats every time. She is always reliable and is a great communicator. I would recommend her without any hesitation.”
“Thank you Katy. I love how you got to know my animals. I would trust you to take care of my animals anytime. I did not worry because I knew my cats were well taken care of.”
“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: 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!
About: I have been taking care of pets for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I am reliable, consistent and build relationships with the pets to keep them comfortable while you are away. My full-time job has summers off, so I have more open availability. Barring the 4 or 5-hour gaps in my day with my part-time job, I can give your pet the care they need/require. I have two medium-sized dogs and a geriatric cat (he is 26!). Caring for them brings me joy and purpose. I promise to carry over that same kindness and compassion that I have with my pets to your pets. I also understand what is necessary to take care of older pets, so if they need a little extra help, I am up for it.
About: I have spent most of my life caring for rescue animals. I grew up on a farm that rehabilitated race horses and have continued to adopt and love animals in need. I have dog grooming experience, training, basic first aid/medical care (old pets and special needs). I am also insured through PCI (Pet Care Insurance) on top of the Rover Garuntee. Pet care is my fulltime job, animals are what I love and care for. I have loads of trails and hikes around to take an adventurous pup or cuddle time from the home bodies. Following your instructions on how best to care for them. And of course, lots of attention, lots of cuddles! If they are in my home, I have no problem with them being on my furniture or sleeping in bed. I do have a young pup now but she loves everyone and is up to date on her shots.
“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: When I was around 12, I started taking care of my neighbor’s chocolate lab whenever they went camping. Ever since, I’ve known that caring for animals was a passion of mine. When I was old enough, I worked at an animal daycare for a year. Right now, I work 8:30–5:00 for a travel design company, though twice a week i work from home. But I can do walks during my lunch break, as well as check-ins, boarding requests, and feeding appointments. These days, I mostly help take care of my family and friends’ pets, and I’d be so happy to help care for yours too! As a travel designer, a portion of my work is remote, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. Most of my planning, emails, and itinerary work can be done from my laptop, so I’m able to be present with pets throughout the day while still meeting my work responsibilities. I believe the most crucial aspect is the communication between the pet owner and the sitter. I am committed to meeting all expectations and going above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the pet.
“Izabelle is very reliable and punctual. She sent pics of each visit and added an additional visit when our flight was delayed. I would recommend her for for your pets needs.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Callen provided for my dog Layla and my cat Loki while we were away for a week. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Layla and Loki were both calm and happy when we returned, which speaks volumes. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I HAVE BASE ACCESS TO JBER! I've been a lifelong dog enthusiast, growing up alongside my family's King Charles Cocker Spaniel and my grandparents' Yorkie. Currently, I am a dog mom to a handsome Border Collie, whom I adopted from a shelter when he was three months old. From the early days of potty training to fostering socialization and good manners, I've been deeply involved in every aspect of his life. My dedication to being the best dog mom led me to extensive research on dog health and training. In addition to my commitment to canine companionship, despite the demands of my work schedule, I've navigated the need for dog walkers and caretakers, giving me firsthand insight into the challenges pet owners face. Drawing from this experience, I assure you that your pup will receive the utmost care, and I'll keep you updated every step of the way. Both my canine companion and I are highly active—I'm a committed marathon runner, and now that my pup has the green light for longer runs, we share this activity regularly. For more energetic or running enthusiast dogs, I'm more than happy to do extended walks or jogs, ensuring they expend all their energy and remain content. With my Border Collie, I've explored puzzles and interactive games, accumulating a variety to provide mental stimulation. If your pup craves mental challenges, count on me to offer engaging activities. I also enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and would be thrilled to assist with your pup's training. Handling the grooming needs of my double-coated Border Collie has made me adept at the task. If your pup is grooming trained, I'm more than willing to take care of brushing and basic grooming. My caregiving extends beyond my own dog, as I've also cared for friends' large and older dogs, understanding the unique needs of those requiring extra downtime. I bring additional expertise to the table, having experience with giving medication, as my own pup has needed to take multiple medications in the past. I am currently working a job with weird days and hours and happy to walk or drop in at weird times during the week as long as I am not working. I am available for drop in visits and walks. I will follow all of your instructions perfectly and assure that your dog is as happy as can be. I am happy to do puzzles, go on long walks or runs, have snuggle sessions, work on training, make sure they have water and food, do any grooming you may wish, etc. with your pup during our hang out time.
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: Love to walk and hike, have one lovable six year lab mix that is super friendly and still thinks he's young and would love to take your dog out. I am busy most of the day but am able to house sit and/or walk your dog rain/snow or shine alone or with my lab mix. I have a six year old lab mix that could stay home, or can walk with your dog on walks/hikes. My dog loves everyone and other dogs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Catherine went above and beyond on the first day when the key wouldn't work, and she met a locksmith. The many pictures she sent showed my boys were well cared for. It was a relief to know the boys were good so I could focus on family during a time of grief.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 481 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
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.
