About: My name is Sue, and I recently graduated from college. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and home! Long time pet lover and clean freak. I provide tidying services to those who ask! Placing rates low as I’m new to the platform! Book me, leave me a review, and we’ll do a lifetime of low rates! I work Monday-Thursday 10-7, but in a position where I can check on pets intermittently! The rest of the week I am all yours. I grew up with my dog Oakley, and have long pet sat/dog walked in my area. I additionally provide tidying services to those who ask. I am an animal lover and strong communicator!

About: Hello! I am a former doggy daycare and kennel pet attendant of 3 years. I also raised and trained 2 working service dogs for veterans. Comfortable with large to small breeds of all temperaments. I am a young professional working M-F till 4pm but am missing pups in my life! I am available for walks and visits on weekday evenings as well as anytime on weekends. I have years of experience pet sitting in others home, as well as simple pick ups and drop offs for walks. I leave everywhere I go better then I found it. I am clean, respectful, and quiet. The only sign I was there will be your tired pup!
“Elizabeth did a great job helping us out last minute taking care of our dog. She was thorough and our puppy enjoyed having a companion to play with. Would highly recommend!”
“We had an excellent experience with Andrew caring for our two cats. He provided thoughtful updates, followed all instructions perfectly, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. We’re so grateful for his care and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable sitter.”
About: Hello! I'm a former VP at a real estate non-profit, transitioning to a new job. I'm available in August and September for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care. As a resident of Arundel on the Bay neighborhood, I'm available to AOTB, Annapolis Cove, Bay Ridge, and Thomas Point neighborhoods within a 5-7 minute drive. I have no kids, so dogs have always been my 4-legged fur babies. I'm an active volunteer and puppy raiser with Warrior Canine Connections, an organization who trains service and therapy dogs for veterans with visible and non-visible injuries. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. Sookie, a 6 year old pointer mix, and Penny, a 6 year old lab/retriever mix. Both about 70 lbs! Sookie is a handful and I've participated in a few different training programs with her. I've become well versed in many types of dog behaviors, reactivity, fear aggression, and more. I'm calm, patient, warm, and well-versed in managing dogs with different personalities. I've also raised two special needs English Bulldogs, and understand the care required for dogs with medical issues. If you hate the idea of boarding your dog at a strange place when you're away, or have heard bad stories about injuries or neglect at doggy daycares, I'm looking forward to caring for your furry friend in your home! I will make sure your dog gets physical activity, potty breaks, or nap times in the sun. I will be happy to send you pictures, videos, and updates, and will work with you to make sure your dog and/or cat is cared for in a way that makes you and the pet happy!

I am familiar and well-versed in those behaviors, but the more I know in advance, the better! If you are a new client, I request a complimentary meetup for us to get acquainted.

Leigh was very attentive with Karen! She played with her, spent time with her, wrote thorough reports on their time together, and was overall very communicative. She even left Karen a toy (which she loves, thank you!!!) Leigh went above and beyond and I would absolutely book her again.
Lynn did a great job caring for my two cats while I was away. She gave me peace of mind knowing that nugget was being well cared for and receiving his medications as scheduled. I would for sure recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Elizabeth was great with our two cats! We had specific instructions about keeping them separate and mixing medicine into food, & she kindly agreed to a meet & greet to make sure she received the details & met our girls. We felt good about leaving them in her hands, & everything was the way we left it when we returned. Thanks Elizabeth!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Anchorage on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,285 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
