About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a furry companion by my side. Since my teenage years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I still love helping out whenever I can. I also foster dogs, so I’m experienced with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Your dog will be in caring, capable hands with me! I am currently working remotely, so I am free most of the day to care for your dog and be there as a friend and make sure they are not left alone. I have a fenced in backyard that your pup can run around in. I also have two sweet and loving dogs of my own that will keep your pup company! If coming to your house, I will respect your space, and let you tell me how to manage your pet and home.
“Margriet is fabulous. She is always punctual, reliable, and responsible, which gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. Most importantly, I can tell that she really cares about my dog and treats her with kindness and affection. I feel very blessed knowing my dog is safely in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Heather has done a great job letting Whiskey in and out. I can tell by the photos that she sends that he's happy and enjoys his breaks. She's always on time and reliable.”

About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication
About: Recently I moved away from my two big, affectionate, quirky dogs who have given me lots of dog experience: playing, walking, dog beach days, hikes, and just hanging out giving dogs the individualized quality time they deserve. Having grown up with pets, my experience is thorough, my personality is calm, quiet and attentive. I have experience with walking and caring for dogs other than my own and with overnight dog sitting, nannying for families with dogs, and spending time with dogs we have watched at our house for other families. Pets should get intentional and quality time, love, and play time, and I am a very patient, responsive, and dedicated person who would love to help out in giving this to your dog/s! I’d love to be available to meet and care for the pups you care so deeply for in your busy times. Dogs fill my cup! I am available and flexible. Willing to work with whatever you may need. Weekends, weekdays, mornings, daytime, evenings, I will coordinate with my schedule and yours as well, contact me to discuss availability. Most importantly I can honor owner's requests. Time spent meeting and learning your pet is always helpful and preferred before caring for them. Depending on the service, let’s discuss your thoughts!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Had two dogs. Frequently walks and sits my mothers dogs. She lives nears by My schedule is pretty open for the next few months . Let me know when you need dog services and I will be there :) While in your home, I will follow your rules and make sure the house is secure when leaving. I will take care of your dog with love and careful hand.
“Diana was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cat! Our dog is older, very anxious with new people, and takes several medications. Diana put her at ease, and handled her so well that we had no worries while we were away. Our cat is a super chill boy, who loved his time with Diana. Diana sent many great pictures and updates so that we could rest easy during our trip. It is so rare that we find someone to care for our pup who she can actually relax around, and we are so happy to have found Diana. We will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I have been walking and sitting dogs for over 20 years, starting at age 11 when I realized dogs just made sense to me. I have owned hounds my whole life and currently share my home with a spirited beagle/jack russell mix named Tate who keeps me well-practiced with high-energy breeds. I recently lost our beloved 11-year-old foxhound mix Juniper, a gentle 70-pound soul who reminded me daily why this work matters. I am a firm believer in Cesar Millan's calm, assertive approach to dog handling. Dogs respond to confident, consistent leadership, and I bring that to every walk and every stay. I am comfortable with all breeds, large and small, and experienced administering medications and hands-on therapy when needed. I work from home in central Annapolis, which means flexible scheduling and plenty of attention for your dog during the day. Your pup is a member of your family and I always treat them like a member of my own. I own a design firm that I run out of my home. My work varies as a creative from video work to graphic design and more but it all comes from my home office located right next to my dog's food and water bowls (my hound dog Tate is currently asleep at my feet- exactly where he loves to be, and right where I love to have him). My workdays typically start around 7am and I work through the early afternoon, occasionally in the evenings. Though I have a full office setup, I also have a laptop that travels with me during house/dog sitting sessions if I need to be away for an extended period of time. As my work is on the creative spectrum, I can always adapt my schedule to fit around yours (and your pup's). Whether it's daily walks or stays with your dog, you can rest assured that they will be looked after with love, care, and the attention they deserve. I live in an apartment in Annapolis so we don't have a fenced in yard. Instead, I take my boy out in the neighborhood on short and extended walks and in the community dog park. Sniff spots and local trails are always on our schedule as our dog is high-energy so he thrives on long walks with lots of smells. Depending on your dog's needs and routine, I'm happy to take them on long walks in and around your neighborhood and parks they're comfortable with, or just playing with them in your own backyard. I'm also open to taking them further out to nature hikes and trails as long as you're comfortable with that. I tend to have Blue Buffalo, Newman's Own, and Charlee Bear treats at the ready (but of course that's up to your discretion) for good dogs and I always adhere to any diet or medication requirements to ensure a happy and healthy experience. I treat your dog like I treat my own and I've always had a great experience with every breed and personality.

About: My home is a calm, attentive environment where your dog gets genuine one-on-one care — not a revolving door of pets. I come from a lifelong background with animals, hold a full-time professional position, and take on pet sitting purely for the love of it. Your dog will never feel like a side hustle. Currently, I am available on weekends and every other Monday. Friday can be a drop off day for boarding. It has to be after 6pm Friday. My availability looks like this. FRIDAY STARTING @ 6PM SATURADY ALL SUNDAY ALL MONDAY ALL UNTIL 6PM My Home: Currently, I live in Eastport area about equal distance from Quiet Waters Park and Downtown. I have amazing dog park and walking available. I have a fenced in yard all the way around. My Mom's dog only weighs ten pounds and he has escaped through my gate. We have to talk about that depending on the size of your dog. I am working on a fix for my Mom's dog because he loves to find escape roots to chase squirrels! 😎 My furniture and my home are 1000 percent pet friendly. I allow all my dog guests up so you have to let me know if that is an issue. I currently have dog bowls for food and water ready to go for my dog guests and ofcourse wash in between. I also have two dog beds that I wash in between visits. I also have a few dog toys I let everyone play with so just let me know if there are any issues or special requests with that. I have an extra leash available and always keep doggy poopie bags available. I do have dry dog food and treats on hand but it is always best if your dog sticks to their diet and I need you to provide that. Wellness Complete Health Adult Wholesome Grains Natural Chicken & Oatmeal Dry Dog Food, 5-lb bag, And Stella & Chewy's Chicken Hearts Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Treats, 11.5-oz bag is what I keep on hand. Those are my best dog friend"s favorites so I keep them always. I guess what I am saying is, you can literally just drop off and I am all set if needed! Your Home: For drop in I just need all the details from you surrounding that. I am okay boarding cats too but I just need to build up my cat pantry and I think disposalable litter pans are the way to go for a short weekend. Although if your cat has litter specific requirements you just need to let me know. Also, if I am cat sitting at my home, they would not be allowed outside, no run aways on my watch!!! I feel like cats are a drop in situation because they are always more comfortable in their space. But I am open to boarding them too! Owners know their pets best and what will work for them. Just let me know. Always, just ask about any pet situation. I am open to all pets and being a Navy veteran makes me very trainable! 🐾⚓️

Baylie is wonderful! I highly recommend her. She really helped me out with an unexpected last minute request, which I greatly appreciated. She is friendly, professional, and fantastic with the pets. We will definitely book again with her. Thank you so much, Baylie!

Katie was wonderful to work with. She was very communicative, responsive and was great at getting to know and work with our sensitive cats. Even our grouchy cat opened up to her. She was also flexible in accommodating medication routines, the needs of a senior cat, and kind details like putting squirrel and bird food out to keep our cats entertained while we were away. We will definitely book with her again!

Thomas was EXCELLENT with Sheena!! He is very attentive and conscientious in his care. Communication is superb and timely, and he was consistent with the times of his visits. Our old girl did well with Thomas in charge. We will be contacting you again when we need care for Sheena. Thank you!

Margriet is fabulous. She is always punctual, reliable, and responsible, which gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. Most importantly, I can tell that she really cares about my dog and treats her with kindness and affection. I feel very blessed knowing my dog is safely in her care. Highly recommend!
Halsey was amazing! She took great care of our big, but sweet dog, Camden and provided lots of pictures and details of all their walks. She was very communicative and I knew our boy was in great care with her! We would love to have Halsey come back and care for Cam!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Anchorage is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $36 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 13,244 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Anchorage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anchorage. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
