“We tried Janae after our regular walker wasn’t available & another didn’t respond. She responded right away, was very accommodating, arrived early, & took good care of our Shelby. We would definitely recommend.”
About: Hello! You can call me Wendy. I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently have three cats of my own and 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’m patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. For pets boarding in my home, I understand that some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. If you prefer, I can keep my three cats completely separate from your pet for the entire stay, so your pet can relax in a safe, quiet environment. 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.
“It has been a stress free week, knowing Tabitha would be walking Ro everyday. He has been noticeably more relaxed when I’ve gotten home from work in the evenings. Would not hesitate to recommend or use her services again.”
“awhh!!! she eased me nerves so good! she spent the extra time with my baby letting her play and get to know her!! my dog has a ton of anxiety and they are besties now!! so pleased with this experience!”
About: I want to point out first, I do work a full time job Monday-Friday and the hours are 7:30-4, so this is my side hustle! I wanted to be open and transparent before you book with me! I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I currently have a white lab/golden retriever mix that is just under a year old, her name is Maggie! I’ve taken care of friends and families pets since I was about 17. The animals I’ve watched have included dogs, cats, and guinea pigs! My favorites are my senior animals who just want to lounge but I love taking my younger ones to the park to play as well! I’m currently working full time during the week but available to pet sit or take care of them after work. I build in time to my daily schedule to accommodate walks, feeding time, and play time! I am more than happy to provide references from my other clients to help ease your mind. I also have experience in having to crate animals and keeping them separate if needed.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have been pet/house sitting for about 10 years. I have always had pets and been around all different kinds of animals. I just graduated from law school, I started my new job post law school. I do work in an office, but I am able to stop in and make sure your animal is taken care of. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of a pet at your home. I am happy to walk a dog on a leash, let them out to play, play with them, take them to a dog park.
About: I was fortunate enough to be raised in a home with a variety of animals! I have had dogs my entire life, and cats for the last decade, with bunnies, frogs, hamsters, hermit crabs, and more along the way! Anyone who knows me, knows how important my pets are to me. They are more than pets, they are my family! I have had big, medium, and small dog breeds, and worked with cats with all different personality types and backgrounds. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind with the person responsible for your family members when you're away, and with me you will never doubt that your fur babies are being spoiled! Working with me, you'll find that I can accommodate any request or 'weird pet quirk' that you may throw my way. I find that animals respond well to my calm and genuine nature, and it provides enjoyment for me as well! I just recently got engaged and am hoping to help fund my wedding and future home, please reach out if you have any questions or special requests! I am also known to send probably too many pictures while you're gone, for that extra reassurance that all is well! I look forward to becoming a part of your village, please don't hesitate to reach out for all pet and house care needs! I work from home as a mental health professional and create my own schedule, so pet care can fit very easily into my routine. I will be as flexible as possible with the families I work with, and communication will never be a concern! At this time, in order to protect my own fur babies and yours, I will not be bringing client's pets' into my own home. I find that pets are more comfortable in their own environment most of the time, and I would rather keep their comfort a priority. I follow directions provided by the families on how to best keep their pet comfortable with a new person entering their space. Reading their behavior and body language is so important!
“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats in and outside the home. Even had my own cat (Princess) for five years before she passed. I’ve never been paid to take care of animals for people outside the family but I’ve done plenty of animal care for family members. I am on my off season for work till August 26th. My daily routine for when I’m off work like this is going to peddlers malls, parks, and hanging out inside reading or watching shows. Usually free during the week any time and the weekends I am generally more busy. I do not have the facilities to bring any pets back to my apartment but I always respect people’s wants for their pets especially since you’d be paying me to do a good job.
“Winnie looked like she was loving her walk! Oliver responded really quickly to requests, was quite communicative and I loved the photos! (I hav a hard time getting good ones of her.) Thanks, Oliver!”
About: Since graduating high school, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve pet‑sat on and off over the last few years and am hoping to take on more jobs this summer before starting my senior year of college in August. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with you and your pets! I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time each day to focus on caring for pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to give consistent attention and maintain a reliable routine for your pet. I always prioritize safety and comfort, whether that means supervised outdoor play, quiet indoor time, or crating if needed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Grew up with 2 dogs when I was kid. I can’t wait to take care of your dogs like they are my own family pet I’m currently active duty army. I am available all weekends. During weekday I can check on your fur baby after work around 5 o’clock. ❤️ I live in an apartment. I love going on walks and watching over pets. My home had nothing hazardous for them to get in to
“We love her! Lydia is very sweet, caring, polite, punctual and honest. I found a gem in her! She's a natural, my baby Gunner adores her the moment he saw her. She's someone that you can trust and depend on. I highly recommend her! Thank you Rover! Thank you Lydia and looking forward to hire you again. Kudos!”
“Jessica is a truly exceptional caregiver and did an outstanding job taking care of our big dog while we were away. Her reliability and willingness to literally go the extra mile ensured that we were aware of the safety and wellbeing of our dog throughout our time away. We will certainly ask Jessica to help us again in a similar circumstance!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Anchorage on Rover is $24.02 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Anchorage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Anchorage. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Anchorage.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anchorage. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
