“Leigh Ann was amazing taking care of our dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She sent us regular updates of time spent with our pets. Her attention and care was as if they were her own dogs.”
“Jamie is great. She took such good care of our dog and the house for a week. We have already booked her for a weekend in May. The pictures she took of our pup and the welcome home banner were a sweet surprise!”
About: I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every single dog I see on my walks—I simply can't resist their precious, furry faces. I've been obsessed with animals for as long as I can remember, and that love naturally led me to start pet sitting as soon as anyone would let me. Over the years, I've cared for animals belonging to friends, family, neighbors—just about anyone who asked! I truly love giving pets the care and attention they deserve, because to me, they are one of the greatest gifts in the world. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own and can't wait to spend some time with them! I'm a part-time worker, so I have plenty of time. I love getting out and taking walks, but my dog is getting old and doesn't like to walk as much, so I'm looking for more pups to give her a break and walk with. I have a fenced-in yard in a neighborhood with lots of trails to walk on. I have a very friendly and old dog at home, but she loves company. I love spending time with animals, playing fetch, petting them, and especially going on walks. I can feed and entertain the animals.
“Jerad did an awesome job with Samson. Followed the instructions perfectly and was a great friend to our little guy. Took him on walks and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jacqueline was a wonderful sitter! She was responsive, understanding, and communicative. She listened to our care instructions and left our house very neat and tidy. We will definitely work with her again in the future.”
About: I’m a reliable pet sitter who treats every pet like my own! I’m comfortable caring for puppies and have lots of experience taking care of neighbors dogs, as well as my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m able to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I provide loving and reliable care in your pet’s familiar home environment, helping them stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and care.
“Ava took such great care of our 3 dogs overnight. We were confident that our pups were in great hands and received many pictures/uodates throughout the days. We will definitely have Ava watch our dogs again!”
“Ellie did a wonderful job of watching our dog, Camden! She was incredibly communicative and kind and treated him just like we would have if we were there. It is clear that Ellie has a passion for animals and that her responsible nature and kind disposition will make her a staple for watching our sweet boy in the future. Ellie really did go above and beyond in caring for Camden and watching our home while we were away, she really has a way with pets, even large and very playful dogs like ours. We are so glad we've found a great option for care for future needs with Ellie.”
“Karen was great with our four animals (dogs and cats)! Karen was communicative, provided great updates, and let us know when one of our cats was having a minor potential health issue. Would recommend and I know our pets are already looking towards when Karen will be back to see them again!”
About: As stated, I have an 8 almost 8 year old German Shepherd myself. I’ve trained him myself to be quite obedient off leash, to listen well, and overall he’s very well behaved. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, turtles and more so I know my way around animals. I’m currently enlisted in the United States Navy. I work at the Naval Academy typically from around 9 in the morning to about 3pm most days. I’m also married with two kids and my wife is a stay at home mom who can also look after your furry friends as well. I don’t work weekends so I’m always available during the weekends and can be flexible throughout the week as well. At my home my dog is never crated he is always out and house trained. However, when looking after your fur babies if they need to be crated I have no issue catering to your needs. I don’t have a yard but we have a massive field and live in a circle so long walks are always a must. Whatever the needs of your fur babies, I can take care of those from daily dog walking, spending and playing time with your animals, staying over night at yours/my place, and giving g medicine if needed.
About: I’ve spent my 24 years of life surrounded by dogs and cats as I grew up with a mother who worked in animal rescue. I’ve been around all temperaments and know how to handle the easygoing and the most reactive. I also have experience with puppies and plenty of experience with senior pets as most of my own dogs are seniors. I currently live with my 3 cats and 1 chinchilla! I currently work full time however besides those 8 hours a day I am free to care for and look after your pets! I’m available everyday of the week including weekends and am committed to prioritizing your pets. When it comes to caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. In your home, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. I’m vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and following any specific safety instructions you provide. I also monitor your pet’s behavior to ensure they’re healthy and comfortable. During drop-ins, I check on your pet, refill water and food as needed, and give them attention and playtime. I make sure doors and windows are locked when I leave and always follow any safety guidelines specific to your home, such as alarm codes or gate instructions.
“Courtney was great! We felt very comfortable being away knowing that our pets were getting so much love and attention. We had clear and frequent communications and a plenty of pictures confirming all the good things happening. We'd (and our critters) would be very happy to see Courtney again.”
About: I have three dogs, ages 3, 6, and 14, as well as a 3-year-old cat. I’m passionate about animal care and have dedicated time to helping my community by working around my neighborhood and volunteered at the local shelter, where I walked the dogs. I’m so excited to offer my help and look after your animals! I am a college student on summer vacation! I am looking to help out with anything that is needed and have a great time. My schedule is currently very free so I am excited to meet you and your pet! I have a fenced yard, so I like to run around with my dogs. I also take them on walks around the neighborhood. Whatever you need for your dog, I can help with!
Anchorage pet parents share their Rover experiences
Leigh Ann was great with my 2 newly adopted dogs. They were very comfortable with her right away. She is very knowledgeable, works at a veterinary hospital, and has much experience with animals. She listens carefully and gave a detailed report after our evening out. I would not hesitate to book her services again!
Ellie did a wonderful job of watching our dog, Camden! She was incredibly communicative and kind and treated him just like we would have if we were there. It is clear that Ellie has a passion for animals and that her responsible nature and kind disposition will make her a staple for watching our sweet boy in the future. Ellie really did go above and beyond in caring for Camden and watching our home while we were away, she really has a way with pets, even large and very playful dogs like ours. We are so glad we've found a great option for care for future needs with Ellie.
Jamie watched our chocolate lab Winston and sister-in-laws dog Leah while we were in Annapolis for my son's wedding. I knew she was the best choice the minute my lab met her a few days prior. Winston was so excite to meet Jamie! It was like he was seeing one of our friends he has known for years! Jamie, was wonderful with her communication and pictures while she was sitting with the dogs. She watched them for an evening event we needed to attend, and then for the entire day of wedding events. I would highly recommend Jamie!! We have only ever had a friend or family member watch Winston. We are very picky!! Wish Jamie lived closer to where we live, I would always choose her to watch Winston!
I just took a quick long weekend and Makayla made it so seamless for me. Cooper felt so loved in his own environment with her and the updates and pictures allowed me to enjoy my time. Makayla is fantastic, I almost don’t want to share how good she is because she will get to busy!!
Julia was amazing with Barker! She was really quick to respond to our request, she communicated clearly and was very punctual. She sent updates regularly during her stay in our home which gave me so much peace of mind, she took care of Barker following all our detailed instructions and we came back to a very happy pup. I’ll definitely work with her again!
5 stars! We are are new dog pawrents to a rescue pup. He’s a Pyr mix and is pushing 60 lbs and still growing! He has some separation issues and we feel more comfortable leaving him with someone while we are gone. Henriette was great and we will absolutely use her again. We chatted a few days prior to the appointment so that we were all on the same page. She is very easy to communicate with. Einstein, our pup, took to her and they had a great time. She kept us informed on how he was doing and what they were up to. They went on a lot of walks (he was conked out by the time we got home!) and kept busy! We definitely recommend Henriette and will will use her in the future.
We booked with Stephen for house sitting to care for our two dogs, Tasha and Sadie, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. He kept in regular contact with us and was incredibly attentive to our pups. Being away was so much easier knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. We had complete peace of mind the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Stephen again whenever we can!
Kevin, who provided house sitting services for a little over a week, was accommodating when I requested an in-person meet and greet before finalizing the booking. My dog responded positively to Kevin. He maintained constant communication throughout the service and responded promptly. When I returned home, my dog appeared quite relaxed, which is always a positive sign of his comfort. I highly recommend Kevin and would definitely hire his services again.
Gabriella housesat our dog when we went on a vacation. She is very dedicated and attentive. she took care of our pet like she was her own. She is a natural pet-sitter who takes her job very seriously. She is very caring. She sent us pictures and updates regularly, and replied to our questions promptly. We will certainly use her services again. We highly recommend her! Also we came back to a clean house. Thank you Gabriella.
