“Shannon was awesome with our dogs! She listened to all the directions and was able to give everything our dogs needed to them! We defintely recommend using Shannon if you need a dog sitter!”
“Lisa is awesome!! Extremely responsible, respectful, punctual and exceptional at pet care! She took amazing pics of my kitty babies, showed up exactly when she said she would and overall just did an amazing job caring for my little fur babies. She also left my place immaculate and as though I never left!!”
“Katie is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my kitties and kept me updated with lots of photos—not only of them but also of other areas of my home that she thoughtfully looked after. I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Katie again for future trips. Thank you so much, Katie!”
“Adrianna went above and beyond my expectations! Ruby and Pearl are so well adjusted I’m not sure they missed me. Adrianna did everything I asked in caring for the girls food, water, attention, litter box and my home is clean as the day I left! She updated me daily while I was away so I could see how happy Ruby and Pearl were while I was on vacation. This means a lot so I was able to relax. I would highly recommend Adrianna!”
About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs and have always had a genuine love for animals. I have the most experience caring for medium-sized dogs, including helping care for Labs, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, and Blue Heelers. I also have extensive experience caring for cats. I have cared for a variety of cats over the years, including staying overnight to provide care, administering medication, and following special dietary needs. I have personally cared for three cats over the past 10 years, giving me years of experience understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable providing attentive, loving care and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Most of my experience is with family and friend's animals but since having a baby I am looking to fill my day with caring for other's animals even walking dogs during the day. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I am especially flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and providing companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I am happy to work with your schedule and their individual routine. I am comfortable providing attentive, reliable care for pets with a variety of needs and personalities. I can administer medications, take dogs for walks, follow specific feeding schedules and dietary instructions, and carefully follow any routines or instructions provided by pet parents. I understand that every pet is different, and I make it a priority to respect their individual personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels. Whether a pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys their own space, I provide patient, loving care while making sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“My pups love Kayla! She is a very punctual young lady who pays attention to detail. I have 2 English Bulldogs who have very specific needs and she followed my notes to the T. You can tell she loves and truly cares about animals from her interaction with them. My pups can't wait until they get to spend 5 days with her when we go on vacation! Thank you again Kayla !”
About: Hey There! My name is Ashley and I am a pet enthusiast. I’ve had 20+ years of being around all types of dogs and cats and they are just the best! Why not let them get a little a little R&R while you get a little too! I personally have two dogs of my own that I love dearly. I have a lot of experience with clients who have large quantities of pets. So if you have more than one animal that needs to be taken care of that is absolutely okay! I think I will be the best fit for your animal sitting needs because who wouldn’t want someone so passionate about animals taking care of their very own pet? Look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently work full time early morning shift at the hospital. I get out early just in time for mid day to later evening sittings. I am available anytime during the weekend. I have a fenced in yard big enough for all the days play they will need! A lot of running around and fetch happen here so they don’t want to miss out!
About: been two years since we lost our elderly labs, and I really miss having a dog. I do have a cat at the present, began to do some travel since they passed, which is why we have not gotten another dog, but I do love and miss them, and would gratefully take care of yours. i’m completely retired at this point, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets when I am not traveling, which is not that often so all forms of pet care can be considered. I will come to your home or your pet can come to mine. I have a big yard with grass and a big park right up the street for walks and playtime.
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
“Lisa was very accommodating when I had surgery and was unsure of the time I would need her until the day before. She was very communicative and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!
About: My name is Christine and I have a friendly family of four! Our family loves to love up animals! I will take exceptional care of your babies while you're away. We live in a four bedroom colonial home with a fenced in backyard. We live mins away from Cattus Island park and trails that we frequent everyday! If you need someone to come to your house and take care of the animals I am definitely up for the task. I will treat your home and your babies like mine so you can rest assured. Dog walking is our specialty we love the outdoors and fresh air. Our home is friendly, smoke free, covid free, and clean. I look forward to walking and playing with them! I am flexible! I am willing to work with whatever you have going on and if I cannot accommodate I make sure to tell you upfront! I have a fenced in backyard. I can block off front door as an added level of security to ensure no running. I have a "dogroom" that the beds and play items can go so if your pup wants a break from the house they have their own space. Otherwise they're welcome to roam free!
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: Hi! My name is Chelsea and im 30 years old. I have been fostering animals (with my family) since I was 8 years old and on my own since I was 22. I love all animals and long walks. I’m currently working part time and remote so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I make my own schedule so I am flexible and reliable. Use code CHELSP42284 for $40 off your first service with Rover. I am patient and calm and understand there may be an adjusting period before your pet feels safe with a new handler. With many years of foster experience of both cats and dogs, I know how to familiarize myself with a pet and make them feel the most comfortable. I will always be respectful of your home (if a drop in or house sit) and clean up after any messes. I will be respectful of your time and wishes for walks.
About: I have experience watching dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have watched reactive dogs as well as some dogs with disabilities. I am very passionate, communicative, respectful, and flexible sitter. I am currently working a full time job but work remote 3 out of 5 work days. This allows me to be fully attentive to your dog on those remote days. I’m also available during the weekends and in the evenings! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pooches company. With that being said, I can easily separate them as well if need be. Additionally at a clients home, communication, making your dog comfortable, and safety are my number one priorities.
“Megan is wonderful with are cats, she follows all our care instructions carefully, is respectful of our home and most importantly cares for our cats as if they are her own. She goes above and beyond every visit to ensure our cats are happy while we are away and sends thoughtful updates and pictures each visit giving us peace of mind while we are away that our cats are happy and well cared for. Cannot recommend Megan enough!”
“Great to work with! Responded quickly when we were in a pinch and was super accommodating! It was such a relief to know we had a friendly animal lover checking in on our pets when we were away. Thank you!”
About: Experienced pet sitter reactivating my profile due to new flexible schedule! I’ve cared for all sorts of pets, ranging from senior dogs to active puppies. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats in total (including one blind + deaf senior dog). With one indoor cat currently, I really miss having dogs around! I’d love to care for your pet while you’re away, or show them some love with a walk. It would make me just as happy as it makes them. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I am available and ready to care for your beloved pet, whether it’s a cat or dog! For pet sitting, I will ensure your pets belly is full, is given a walk and plenty of water, will be let out to go potty, and will get plenty of attention while you’re away!

Crystal has been absolutely wonderful with our dog, Clover! She is reliable, punctual, caring, and incredibly observant. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after and pays close attention to their individual needs. Her attentiveness and communication give us such peace of mind knowing Clover is in good hands. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication and would highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet!
Dana was great. She kept me updated with my dog George . He wasn’t the best and ripped some things off my wall and she cleaned it up for me and made sure he couldn’t get to it again . She even brought in my garbage can which was so thoughtful and helpful . I will definitely use Dana again and would recommend her to anyone needing drop in visits .
Katie was incredible! From the start, she moved her schedule around to fit us in. She even came during a blizzard! She took care of both of our girls wonderfully, always sending us pictures. Katie went above and beyond for us and we would absolutely recommend her !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Anchorage is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $37 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 2,110 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:
- 90% of sitters 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 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.
