“Lyndsi was great! Punctual and went out of her way to make my pups feel comfortable in my absence. Even lending extra patience and care to help maintain cleanliness after puppy mishaps. Definitely grateful!”
About: I've worked at dog and cat shelters and also zoos. I really enjoy animal care and friends and family often trust me to watch their space and pets. I work remotely which allows me a lot of flexibility for house-sitting. I can walk dogs and play with cats anytime. Also I can follow directions to maintain routines or promote good behaviour. I've worked with a variety of animals from very friendly cats and dogs to rougher animals at shelters. I try to be aware of what they need for their safety and the people and animals around them.
“Janee was a perfect pet sitter for our two dogs and gecko. She sent great pictures and videos every day. Timely, thorough and dependable! Dogs were healthy and happy even after this longer than typical trip for us. Would definitely recommend Janee!!”
About: I do not have any special skills. I am just an animal lover. I own an 8 year old lab mix named Sweetie. She has been a part of our family since she was around 8 weeks old. When caring for your beloved pets, I will always treat them like my own, with love, patience, and kindness. I currently am a teacher. I can do drop-ins during the week and weekends, in-home sitting, and boarding on the weekends I do not have a fenced in back yard, so your dogs will be taken out on a leash if boarded here. I am new to pet sitting, so this part will be updated as I sit more. My dog is currently 8 years old. She sees the vet once per year unless more visits are necessary. I take her outside for regular exercise. I believe that dogs should be taken out on leashes for safety.
“Taylor was an amazing sitter once again. Having reliable pet care transforms the time that we spend away from home. Not only were our pets well cared for an loved, she follows instructions to the letter, and leaves our house very tidy!”
“Savannah was great! She stayed in contact throughout the entire weekend away and sent updated and pictures! Would definitely recommend and use her again in the future!”

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of animals extensively for 10 years. I have both personal and professional experience working with companion and exotic animals. I have experience with senior, young, adult age animals. Currently, I work part-time at a dog daycare & boarding facility. Pet Care is apart of my everyday life - I have two dogs that I come home too. Moreover, I’m available through out the week & especially on weekends. I have a fenced in yard & gates that are extremely secure. All access points in my home and surrounding all have security cameras enforced.
About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years as a boarder before I permanently moved to Baton Rouge. I go to LSU and major in animal science. I have medicated and taken care of anxious/aggressive dogs. I am patient, gentle, and I take account that each pet is a family member to each owner. I am currently enrolled at LSU majoring in Animal science. I have wanted to foster or get a pet of my own since moving here but I have not been able to, so I decided to make my side hustle helping others with the things I love to do. I update my colander regularly, but sometimes things come up, just message me! I am easygoing and easy to communicate with. I have a fenced little yard and I enjoy walking around my gated neighborhood, so I will do so with your pet. I follow instructions well, I am aware each pet is different and have their own personality. I’m slow and a quick learner, since I have handled hundreds different dogs for a handful of years. If I am ever confused on an instruction my first instinct is to contact you to make sure and not just “assume”.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Lynda’s was great! Super sweet and easy to communicate with and sent updates about my dogs while I was out of town. My dachshund hurt his back right before I left and she was great about the quick pivot with needing to provide his meds and limit mobility while he healed. So thankful!
Megan was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care for [pet’s name], and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She was attentive, loving, and professional — checking in regularly and making sure everything was perfect. I could tell she truly cares about animals, and it shows in everything she does. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Anchorage is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $40 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Anchorage walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Anchorage maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Anchorage choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
