About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. I grew up with both big and small dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m also a proud cat owner and have had my own cat for the past 4 years! I also have 3 years of experience as a dog walker in Philadelphia while I was in college. During that time, I gained valuable experience caring for dogs and learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and reliable. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, exploring, or simply relaxing and getting lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring hands and receiving plenty of love and attention. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 1 PM. This gives me plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs without feeling rushed. I can help with morning walks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and giving your pets lots of love and attention while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and safe in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and litter box cleaning. I love giving pets attention and affection, while also respecting their personalities and boundaries, especially if they need time to warm up to someone new. As a cat owner of 4 years and a volunteer at an animal shelter specifically caring for cats, I understand the importance of patience and individualized care. I also have experience as a dog walker for 3 years in Philadelphia while I was in college, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands!
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs! I've grown up with 7 dogs, from Chihuahuas and Papillons to Golden Retrievers and Rottweilers, so I'm comfortable with different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Every visit includes exercise, attention, fun, and treats (owner permitting!), and I'll stick to your pup's routine so they stay happy and healthy. I’m happy to board your dog in my home, providing them with a comfortable and caring environment while you’re away! I will adhere to their normal routine. I provide loving and reliable pet care both in my home and in yours. Whether it’s dog or cat sitting or another help with another special friend. I make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for through walks, playtime, meal time to keep your pet happy and healthy.
“I’m so grateful for Christina. Eli is very comfortable with her and that makes me happy. I’m able again to be away from home longer than a few hours. Christina sent me pictures and updates, she’s trustworthy and experienced with reactive dogs like mine. Very thankful. 😌”
“Lisa has been absolutely fantastic! She comes and walks our goldendoodle every day! She feeds him lunch and takes great care of him! It’s such a relief to know she’s there on days when I’m stuck at work late! Would highly recommend Lisa over and over!”
“Vee has been awesome with our new puppy! She is always on time for the walks and goes above and beyond with care for our little boy and our older dog that she doesn’t even have to care for but feels the need to build trust with. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our boys! 10/10 recommend”
About: I have 40 plus years of pet care experience. Family, friends, neighbors, and many others rely on me for pet sitting services for both short and longer term care. I work from home full-time and set my own work schedule. This allows me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and, of course, those regular pats and scratches! I will customize visits to meet your pets needs. Long walks, short walks, or just check-ins for food, water, and bathroom breaks, whatever works best for you and your pet(s). I have basic small animal first aid skills and 24/7 transportation in case of emergency. My services also include basic house care as needed, such as retrieving mail and watering plants. I am a non-smoker.
About: I have been around Animals all my life. I grew up on a farm and have catered to many different types of Animals. I have kept everything from Fish to Exotic Animals. My entire life revolves around caring for Animals. I have a 2.5 year old Catahoula Bully Mix and currently keep many Reptiles. I look after my parents Cats any time they go out of town and consistently pick up Animal related side jobs whenever I can. I have a fenced in yard at my home, offer full time boarding, and daycare. I am open to any kind of care and any type of Animal. Please reach out for further details!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand firsthand that pets are more than just animals — they’re family. Growing up with dogs has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention, and, of course, plenty of love and belly rubs! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some companionship, or simply someone they can feel comfortable with while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own dog. My goal is to make every walk a happy, safe, and enjoyable experience for your four-legged family member. 🐶❤️ I currently work full time and have weekends and evenings available. So drop ins for those who work longs shifts I can easily handle. Looking forward to meeting new clients I have a nice size dog park at my apartment complex. But serving at the clients residence would be better so the dog feels safer and more comfortable
About: I love ALL animals and have cared for all types from small mammals to reptiles and felines! I believe in treating pets like family members and understand each has their own personality! I grew up with dogs /pets my entire life from pit bulls to pugs and rabbits to frogs. I love to be active and out in nature with my four rescue dogs! I am experienced in senior care and young pets alike. I also have skills with basic training of all age. I can't wait to meet your baby and provide them with entertainment and enrichment while you are away! I am currently working on my master's degree in an online program and work part time, both responsibilities warrant flexible hours that I am able to schedule myself. This will allow me to give your baby my full focus, attention, and loving! I have a fenced in yard and a basement that can act as a separation if need be. I am reliable and physically strong and love to play and cuddle with pets that want to or am just as able to give them the space to try to have them gain my trust. I am also experienced in bathing large, anxious dogs.
About: I have had many pets since a young child and also helped my mom rehabilitate injured or newborn animals. My family has relied on me for pet sitting and dog walking. I trained my dog Darla from when she was a puppy and have always had a strong love for animals. She has since passed and have 2 dogs named Willow and Pixie. I also have 6 chickens in a chicken coop in my yard. I am currently available full time from Monday through Friday and am open to sitting on some weekends. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I do have a fenced yard and have a dog door that can be locked if needed. Also I have 2 dogs and one cat in the house.
“Mango was so happy after his walk with Audrey! I really appreciated the awesome photos and updates and the detailed report she sent. She is reliable, caring, and clearly LOVES dogs! I highly recommend Audrey and I will definitely book her again!!”
About: We know how stressful it can be to leave a family member with someone else—that’s why we’re here to make it easy and comforting for both you & your pup. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family. My husband and I rotate working from home, so there’s always someone here to give your pet attention, love, and plenty of playtime. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. We are huge animal lovers, and your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be our top priority. We love spending time outdoors—hiking, beach trips, and dog-friendly adventures are part of our routine. At home, we have a large fenced-in yard (1 acre), security cameras for peace of mind, and plenty of room for your dog to run, play, and relax. On nice days, we’re often outside enjoying the sunshine, and yes—dogs are welcome to splash around in the pool! Our dog Casanova swims all day long jumping off the diving board on his own. Our little Stella will hop on a pool float and take a nap. Our dogs are friendly and social, and we do our best to ensure all pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We let the dogs out every 2–3 hours, and we’re happy to help with basic training or any special care your pup might need. We’re here to give your dog the attention they deserve while you’re away—and to give you daily updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. We have a 2 year old so we are switching to small dogs only. My dogs are spoiled and part of the family. I treat them like my kids and they go outside whenever they ask or at least every few hours. Friendly pets are welcomed like part of the family. They are free to go where they want and sleep where they would like. Our pups sleep in our room and have their own pillow and blanket.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, as I grew up with 2 dogs. I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, walks and playdates. I also have experience with reactive dogs, where I can keep them safe during walks with patience. I currently work in a mostly freelance and remote environment. I am flexible and I communicate well about my schedule for accommodating your fur friends. I treat every pet at home as if it were my own. I make sure to follow instructions precisely and with care. I make sure to double check that fences are closed and doors are locked. Pet safety is a top priority. I have a lot of love for what I do and that shows in my work.
“IMolly was great. Very communicative and conscientious. I left her instructions and she followed them perfectly. I was very nervous to leave my senior dog with anyone but Molly was great. She rcommunicated after each walk and took some cute pictures as well. I was able to have fun on my day trip knowing that Molly was there to take care of my dog. I would definitely use her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Crystal took wonderful care of my two French Bulldogs while I was away for three days. She sent daily photo updates and walked them both three times a day. Both dogs were so calm and relaxed when I returned home. I couldn't be more happy with how Crystal took care of my two boys. I would highly recommend Crystal and would love for her to watch my two boys in the future.
Adriana was amazing. She communicated clearly and was so kind to our dog. I appreciated that every time she took our dog for a walk, she let us know and posted pictures. She also fed our dog while we were away. She came when she said she would and walked our dog for the amount of time we agreed on. I felt our dog was in such good hands. Thank you so much Adriana.
After having a baby, our fur baby hasn’t been getting as much attention as he has been receiving. It’s been amazing to have Amanda give our fur baby a 1:1 walk. She is so kind to him and he is soo excited to see her! Amanda is amazing with our dog! We are so grateful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Anchorage is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 2,078 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Anchorage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Anchorage. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Anchorage after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anchorage. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
