“Shelley was great with my cats! I liked getting daily updates and pictures and it was nice knowing they were well cared-for while I was out of town. She will always be my first choice for pet sitting when I travel!”
“Sinead was excellent, responsive and provided pictures and updates every visit. The cats had plenty of play time and pets and warmed up to her very fast. Know your cats are in caring and thoughtful hands while you are away.”
“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: Our dog passed away and I miss her very much. Recently relocated to Alaska and loving it! Have extra time on my hands to care for your furry bundle. I’ll take care of her/him/them like my own. Sorry I can’t commit to a reoccurring schedule at this time. Currently between jobs (indefinitely!) so I have plenty of time until then to give your loved ones attention. I love being outdoors so plenty of fresh air is not an issue or playing inside and curling up on sofa with your fluff ball is cool too. No problem if your pet prefers their own space, I am open to all types of personalities. Happy to care for pets in your home according to your normal routine. I am currently renting so care in my home is not an option. Thanks for understanding.
“Erica always takes good care of my cats even though one of them is a difficult old grump and one of them refuses to come out and see her. She communicates well and goes above and beyond. Have rebooked a few times and would rebook in the future and recommend.”
“Highly recommend Krystina! She was kind, great to communicate with, and was so thoughtful to bring our packages inside when she checked in on our kitty. Our cat sometimes has trouble warming up to new people but we could tell from the pictures that she was happy to be around Krystina and enjoyed all the attention :)”
About: I have been cat sitting and dog walking for the past two years for coworkers and family friends- and now I’m on Rover too! I’ve got two golden retrievers of my own who I love dearly as well! I am a student at the University of Vermont studying political science and english! During the summers I come home to Anchorage, Alaska. I love all things outdoors- hiking, running, you name it. I have also been working part time at Middle Way Cafe (in Anchorage) for almost 3 years. Because I have grown up with animals, I feel confident in my ability to care for them. I also volunteer at our local animal shelters and am passionate about finding animals good homes! I value communication and will update you on your pets mood, send pictures, etc. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs, so rest assured your pets are in good hands even if they tend to be nervous when you leave.

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals and have worked in veterinary settings with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, medication administration, and maintaining routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Whether your pet loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship, I adjust to their individual needs and personality. I’m available for weekday care before and after my job and weekend care. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any medical needs to help them feel secure and cared for. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and following detailed care instructions. I maintain a clean, calm environment and always use secure leashing, supervision, and careful introductions to help keep pets safe
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company. I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work a hybrid job Monday through Friday from 9–5, so some days I’m remote and some days I’m in the office. I still have flexibility before and after work and on weekends for pet care, walks, check ins, and spending time with pets. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, walks, litter boxes, medications if needed, and making sure pets are safe and relaxed while their owners are away.
“Alex did a wonderful job dropping in to take care of my cat, Delilah, while I was out of the country. Alex left detailed drop-in notes with photos and took great care in following the instructions for feeding that I left. Alex spent time with Delilah during each visit for some much-needed cat playtime. I had complete confidence that Delilah was being well cared for while I was away for the week. Thank you, Alex!”
“Whitney went above and beyond taking care of our dog and giving her the best care when we were out of town. I would recommend Whitney to anyone looking for amazing pet 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’ve been caring for animals of all sizes and personalities since I was young, and I truly love spending time with animals! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, and check in on their pets, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s needs, whether that means energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or extra care for shy or older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety and happiness. I am currently going to Alaska Pacific University, and working part-time at the gym. I am able to stop in, or stay the night! I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter box care, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m always respectful of your home, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

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!
Callen was wonderful. She sent lots of photos and gave regular updates on my cats. One of my cats is having some kind of medical issue that is manifesting in difficult behavior change, but Callen handled the unique situation easily. I would certainly book her again.
