About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.
“This was our first time using rover and Joanna was the best. Our boys loved her and we felt they were completely safe in her care. She gave frequent and thorough updates along with pictures of them. 10/10 from us!”

“Janae was great, she checked in on our cats for a couple days while we were out of town. We did an initial visit before the booking just to meet her and see how our cats reacted, they instantly took to her which was a relief. She also very kindly pulled in our trash bins while we were away, we did not expect that but very much appreciated! We would definitely book with Janae again.”


“Lydia, what a blessing you are... Came out in bitter cold to take care of our dog, who loves the cold and wanted to stay outside... Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”

“Jessica took great care of our cat while we were gone. She took care of our every need and we did not have to worry about a thing while we were gone. She even went above and beyond and brought our packages inside for us. We will definitely come to her again when we need a pet sitter.”


“Tabitha is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I love her and more importantly, my pets adore her!! She takes the best care of them, is responsible, responsive and timely! Also, she take absolutely incredible photos of my pets at every visit—it’s like having my personal pet photographer on top of her reliable care! Can’t say enough great things!”

“Absolutely went above and beyond caring for my fur babies. My family and I will definitely being using Janet whenever we go out a town again and again. Highly recommend!!”


“Laila is fantastic, and I highly recommend you book her. She came to meet my cat before hand and my boy was well taken care of. She even made friends with him which I thought was impossible since he does not like new people! Definitely book her!”

“Lauren was awesome on drop in visits and walks for us. Great communicator who let us know about a plumbing issue that arose while we were gone. We were very happy we booked again with her.”

“Julia did great with our boys! Gave great notes at the end of each check in that let us know our boys were in good hands:) We really appreciate everything Julia did and highly recommend!”


“Catherine is absolutely fantastic! She takes the time to truly care for your dog and goes above and beyond. She really helped us out with handling our new puppy! She even was able to teach him a few basic commands during her drop in visits. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”

About: Hello! I’m a tenured physics Professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently care for three cats of my own and have many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I am patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”

“Carolyne was fantastic. She came by every day to visit with, feed, and clean up after my daughter’s two cats. We appreciate all of her love and care of them for the past six days.”

Janae was great, she checked in on our cats for a couple days while we were out of town. We did an initial visit before the booking just to meet her and see how our cats reacted, they instantly took to her which was a relief. She also very kindly pulled in our trash bins while we were away, we did not expect that but very much appreciated! We would definitely book with Janae again.

Alex was an amazing sitter and was able to provide services last minute. My girls were very comfortable and appreciated meeting beforehand. Instructions were followed well and Alex reached out when further clarification was needed, which I very much appreciated.

Wedad was wonderful with our very shy cat. He warmed up to her more quickly than I have seen him warm up to any other stranger. She was communicative with us while we were away, any everything was right where we wanted it to be when we got back (food filled, water full, key hidden, etc.).

Sierra did a wonderful job caring for our three Maine Coon cats. She was responsible, loving, and professional during her drop-in visits, and we felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in good hands. We would happily recommend her to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter.

I have used a couple different people in the past, but I believe I have found the best yet. My cats loved them and they are happy and healthy when I came back. Thank you Mary and your Husband for taking great care of the fur babies. I’ll be using you in the future.

Cecelia is the best sitter I've ever had! I had her come by for 2 weeks to care for my cat and she did an outstanding job. She even took care of things she didn't have to like vacuuming up loose litter and cleaning up a hairball. I also really appreciate her efforts of bonding with my shy cat. It definitely wasn't easy but they were best friends by the end and I know my cat will miss her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 566 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Anchorage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anchorage. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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.
