About: I have grown up with medium to large sized dogs my whole life. I have experience with very friendly dogs and dogs that cannot play with others as well as puppies to older dogs. I have cared for my own pets and friends while growing up and can be trusted with any task to ensure your pets needs and safety! I can offer dog walking in the mornings (7-9am) or afternoons (4-7pm) during the week or anytime during the weekends. I am available on the weekends to check-in or stay with your animal overnight as well. I can check-in and care for your animal during the day or overnight at clients homes. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, bathed, played with and let outside for their needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions from the owners as well (medication that needs to be taken, crate training, etc).
“Heather has been a godsend when it comes to taking care of my cat, Boo. He was a bit stressed when I was gone for a 9 day stretch and she was able to add on extra drop-ins because of that and I was so grateful. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Hannah did a great job checking in on Arlo while we were out of town. She provided great updates and made sure to give him attention and affection. She was also very communicative and provided helpful updates after each visit. Highly recommend!”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of photos along with thoughtful, detailed updates, and my cat clearly adored her. I’m so grateful for her — especially for being so flexible on such short notice. I would book her again in a heartbeat, 1000%!”
“Laura was great with my elderly Shih Tzu, Gena, who has a bit of separation anxiety. We're doing the first few walks with me along as well so Gena can get to know her and get comfortable.”
“Alexia is a Great Pet Sitter, she helped Rako out for 9 days, with our return He was Given Food and Water, and there was no mess. I love how she took care of his pads. Great Young Lady to hire.”
About: I grew up around big dogs and cats, so I’m familiar with reading animal behavior. Dog walker and cat socialization volunteer at local animal shelter near college. I’m currently taking a class that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, but other than that (and studying) my days are free! I do also work at an organic farm in the mornings on weekends, but my afternoons and evenings are free! I’m looking to help out whenever and wherever I can. Able to wear them out with loads of play time or to just give them a good belly rub. Whatever is needed! I’m used to playing with a high energy German Shepard/Akita mix and a one year old Black Mouth Cur. Needless to say, I can hold my own against big dogs zoomies.
“Andrew is always reliable and is punctual when needed. He has a passion for pets and pays attention to every detail related to the walk. I will continue to use Andrew in the future and I highly recommend him for all your pets needs.”
“This is our second time booking Ellie and I can't say enough good things about her! Ellie was able to help watch our dog Piggy at the last minute and went above and beyond to take good care of her. Ellie alerted me to a concern about Piggy and was able to address the situation effectively. Ellie is a great communicator, shows up on time, and is enthusiastic about animals. We would definitely book Ellie again!! Thanks for your great work Ellie!!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a freshman in highschool for members in my community. I have always loved pets and used to knock on my neighbors’ doors in elementary school offering to walk their dogs (and cats lol). I’ve taken care of pets of all sizes, ages, and breeds, and even multiple pets at once. I love to take long walks in general and would love to have a pup come with me! For house calls, I’m happy to spend some quality time with your pet and play with them. I am currently a highschool senior who starts school at 8am and is done by around 2:30pm. I am happy to wake up early to take care of a pet’s needs in the morning and am usually available after school to do so in the afternoon as well. I occasionally work from 3-6 after school or for a couple hours on weekends but will communicate with a pet’s owner if that comes up. I will be sure to pay close attention to your pet when taking them on a walk, feeding them, playing, or letting them outside to make sure they are safe.
“Katie has cared for my three cats several times, and I have never been more comfortable with someone caring for them while I'm away. She sends great photos, cleans up what needs cleaned, and plays with them really well. I have a couple cats that are pretty anxious, and they have really warmed up to her. I can't think of a better compliment than that”
About: I get a lot of pleasure assisting busy professionals with their pet sitting needs. I provide a nurturing and loving environment for your special pets in a very tranquil setting. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own. My husband and I will treat your pet with the utmost care and attention. References available upon request.

The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Anchorage is $21
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Leigh Ann was an absolutely fabulous pet sitter! Not only was she available with fairly short notice, she spent extra time with our pets to make sure they were comfortable with her. She walked our dog when she only needed to let him out back, she checked on the cats multiple times each day when she only needed to check on them once a day, and she thoroughly cleaned up their accidents in the house when she didn’t have to. It was great to find someone so responsible with our pets. We will definitely be using Leigh Ann’s services 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 $18.87 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,230 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.
