About: I've had companion dogs for most of my adult life. Usually two dogs at a time. My oldest dog was a Red Healer cattle dog who eventually became blind and deaf, living to be almost 19yo. I've also had Australian Shepherds (2) and Border Collies (2) and enjoy the smart dog challenge. I consider my experience well rounded from training puppies to caring for older dogs who have special needs. I love them all like they are one of a kind and deserve the best this life has to offer. Thank you in advance for considering me as part of your pet's care! I work during the day M-F close to home. Home on the weekends. Daily walks are provided with additional play time and potty breaks as needed. I have a fenced yard and usually accompany the dog outside so they are not alone in the yard. Play time also occurs in the fenced yard space. Dogs are free to roam the house and be part of our family while boarding but I also offer containment to an area of the house or crate if needed.
“Natalie was amazing! She was so kind and flexible with our plans. She took wonderful care of our pet and supplied terrific pet photos from her visits. Thank you, Natalie!!”
“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our doggos, even on a holiday weekend!! Great, responsible, communicative dog sitter and will use again in the future 🫶”
“My cat unfortunately he’s not always very friendly to other humans. She has diabetes and requires insulin shots every morning. Sinead has been so patient and willing to get to know Tiger. She has definitely gone the extra mile to make the visits successful!!”
“Erica and Christopher were amazing and extremely professional! My usual sitter had cancelled on me last minute and they were able to fill in for them. They made sure to feed my kitties the correct diets and gave them some playtime, and it was almost like no one had ever left home! I highly recommend their services”
“Whitney took such good care of our cat while we were gone. She was very thorough with her care and provided us updates and photos daily. We will certainly be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for drop in care. :)”
“Sarah is great with my high energy dogs! It’s hard for me to find care for them because one of my dogs is scared of strangers, but Sarah made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Very thankful and looking forward to future appointments!”
About: I got a golden doodle when I was very young. Ever since then I’ve had a huge love for dogs and all animals. I’ve grown up with one, we got a second one shortly after. We basically had a mini farm at home, including ducks and bunnies. Once I moved out of my parents house I got a cat and a border collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I’ve been around animals all of my life. And I couldn’t imagine life without them. I work a full-time job Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM with an hour lunch. I work Fridays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. I usually go home for lunch to make sure all pets are cared for. After work, I usually stay home for the rest of the night. I live in an apartment on the second floor with a balcony. It is a very safe environment. And cozy place. It is in a closed balcony, so there is no risks of animals falling off. I have two different windows that are big and both open for fresh air.
“Brianne is amazing! She has been so such a great help with my little guy. Always on time and great at communicating. I love getting daily pupdates after her visit.”
“Jacob was amazing! He took great care of our dog Dex while we were out of town. He took care of everything just as we had discussed and even spent time with our cats during his visits. Our very moody cat who doesn't like many people even liked Jacob. I would without a doubt recommend Jacob to anyone.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every size and breed since I was a 14. I grew up in Alaska so there were more safety concerns when taking animals out for their walks. I know to take great care of your furry family member. I’ currently working from home and volunteer coaching volleyball. I would love to take your dog on daily walks to the coffee shop and ensure that they will receive lots of love and attention! There is an open space dedicated at my apartment for dogs to do their business and I have a closed in patio if they need some fresh air. I have no problem crating your dog if needed but I wouldn’t mind letting a pup on the couch!
About: I love animals and have had them in my home growing up my whole life, however my current building does not permit pets. It’s important to me to be around animals every day and I truly value the time I get to spend with them. I love getting to know new animals and their quirks, understand their needs and how to respond to their specific needs when their owner may be away for lengths of time. I have experience with senior care in ushering my own dog through the final years of his life and providing him with as comfortable and dignified an existence as I could, while also following doctors orders and administering prescriptions. I have experience with reactive and re-homed animals and am patient and sensitive to the traumatizing effects of being re-homed and/or having an unknown history. I’m detail oriented, reliable and timely, and am compassionate towards animals with limited capabilities. I’m good at this because animals are easy to love, I like to be active and meet them at their level of energy and ability, whatever that may be. I am also very happy to send photos and daily updates to provide peace of mind that your loved ones are being well taken care of. I work a flexible schedule with minimal hours and try to plan my life around spending time with animals that bring me joy. I enjoy getting up and out multiple times a day, exercise and movement are very important to me and pet care fits naturally with this. I think it’s important to enter with the mindset that each pet is different and will have their own needs and specific care instructions. I try to get outside at least once a day and am very sensitive to meeting your dog at their activity level. As a pet sitter in your home, the biggest thing that I have to offer your loved ones is security through reliable and consistent presence through the duration of the contract. Separation from an owner can be extremely tough on animals and providing an inconsistent or inattentive presence can be damaging and unfair. I am also a lover and will of course be showering your pet with loads and loads of love and attention!
About: I grew up having and takin care of pets. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs (can't board pets!). I love animals and will do anything to keep them safe and happy! I can work with puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats, even senior dogs and cats. I enjoy relaxing or playing with a pet and creating that special bond with them because having a connection with an animal can feel really special and it's eye-opening. I can pet sit in your home Sun-Thurs. On Mondays and Thursdays, I do have classes to attend from 3:30-6:30 so I will be unavailable during those times. I'd like to be full-time pet sitter at this moment :). I cannot have pets come to my home since I am living with family, we have our own pets and we don't want to risk any conflicts or issues. During the weekends (Fri-Sun) I’m usually at home to study, babysit my little cousins and my volunteer at the local cat shelter. I make sure doors and windows, anything, are locked so that pets don't escape. They tend to be curious of the outside world and would want to explore it however they can be eaten or ran over by a car and I'd hate to break that sad news to the fur baby's parents. I also make sure no tiny, swallow-able objects are on the ground so that pets don't accidentally eat it and potentially harm their insides. I also approach in a slow, calming manner so that the pet can trust and start building interest in me.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Anchorage is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Alex is an INCREDIBLE cat sitter who goes above and beyond to care for animals. When moving from Florida to Alaska I needed someone to watch my kitties for 2 weeks and was nervous about finding someone to reliably provide quality care for two of my cats who have medical needs. I was so pleased with Alex's care for my babies and felt immensely fortunate to have her as a sitter during the move. She was able to administer my diabetic cat's insulin and liquid medication for my cat with allergies. She also when above and beyond to grab the insulin from the pharmacy when I was unable to during my drive to Anchorage. All of her updates about the cats were detailed and helpful to keep track of how they were doing. She gave them lots of love and even extra treats which I'm sure they were excited for. Alex even offered to give one of my cats a bath to help manage his allergies. I cannot recommend Alex enough! I am happy to have found a great sitter in Anchorage :)
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Anchorage stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anchorage. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
