Dog Walking Basher

“Alex is an exceptional Rover host. I hired her to walk my dog while I am at work, and she goes above and beyond every time. During the walk, she works on reaction training. She makes sure the water bowl is full before she leaves the house after finishing the walk. Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: Roughly two years ago, I received a call from a colleague asking to house sit for a weekend after a previous bad experience with boarding two dogs. Both with health issues and one of them not sociable with other dogs. My colleague came back to a clean home, garden watered, mail organized and the dogs very well loved and walked everyday. Ever since, I have housesat for anywhere from 48hrs to nearly 30 days at a time with zero issues. Bed time rituals, feeding songs, walking a slightly reactive dog, cuddling very closely at night were the priorities at the top of the to-do list. Now that two years have passed since that first call I have decided to try my hand at truly making dog walking/house sitting/drop-in playdates a side gig! I work 12hrs a day, rotating weeks 3 days or 4 days a week. Typically Wednesday/Thursday-Saturday off every week. I am up early most mornings in my time off, can make myself available for late nights Wednesday-Friday as well. In your home, I will follow all requests diligently, check all doors and windows before leaving or before bed. I am MANDT de-escalation trained, CPR/BLS certified and will soon be training to further my EMS-adjacent skillsets. In emergencies, I understand the importance of prioritizing the fur babies and keeping them out of harm’s way.

“My dog and my cat are always delighted when Sarah arrives! She takes such great care of them! My dog is so much calmer after Sarah has walked her.”

About: Born with a cat and two dogs lead to me always having a pet in my home. I have pets in my residence but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to help others from having to leave their pet(s) all alone at home or in a boarding facility. I help sit my friends animals, at their home, and mine. Walks to the dog park or in the neighborhood leads to a bonding experience every time! I currently have a very flexible schedule and would love to help you and your furry loved one(s) out! Please message me for more details or any questions or concerns you may have. I want there to be complete comfort and trust when you leave me with your fur baby!

About: I have been cat sitting and dog walking for the past two years for coworkers and family friends- and now I’m on Rover too! I’ve got two golden retrievers of my own who I love dearly as well! I am a student at the University of Vermont studying political science and english! During the summers I come home to Anchorage, Alaska. I love all things outdoors- hiking, running, you name it. I have also been working part time at Middle Way Cafe (in Anchorage) for almost 3 years. Because I have grown up with animals, I feel confident in my ability to care for them. I also volunteer at our local animal shelters and am passionate about finding animals good homes! I value communication and will update you on your pets mood, send pictures, etc. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs, so rest assured your pets are in good hands even if they tend to be nervous when you leave.

About: hi everyone!! my name is Kristina, a transplant from Bellingham, WA and it is so lovely to meet you! I have been connecting and caring for animals since a young child. From starting a dog sitting business as an 11 yr old (short lived but to volunteering at local shelters and assisting in the vet clinic, I have had the privilege of learning from and caring for our furry friends for a lifetime. My partner and I will be relocating to Anchorage and looking to sit together. When I’m not in search of the next furry friend to meet, I am typically out on the land climbing, laying on the grass, or dancing in the rain. I work in Youth Development and dream of bridging my love of animals, with therapeutic methods someday! I will be located in the Anchorage area for the whole month of October! I will be relocating with my partner and looking to sit together. My weekly schedule is incredibly open for all pet needs. Mornings, and afternoons on weekdays typically work best as well as weekend house sitting needs! Looking forward to connecting with you more :) As a cat momma myself, I understand how difficult it can be entrusting others for the care of our precious animals. As much as I value the connection I build with your animals, I want to connect and build trust with you as well! I believe every pet deserves care and love that is met at their speed. I value creating a genuine connection with your animal and commit to always working to ‘tune in’ with them. I meet them right where they are with lots of patience, gentle encouragement, and love. My background as a vet assistant and shelter volunteer has given me a deep understanding of animal body language, stress signals, and medical needs. I feel confident in reading what a pet is telling me and make sure they feel totally secure. Because I want pets to feel as happy and relaxed as possible, I currently focus exclusively on house sitting!

About: What will set me apart: My attention to detail and adherence to your instruction to the letter. I will additionally tidy, clean, and make coming home a pleasure!

I work full time for the FAA as a technical support specialist and have for the last 12 years. I telework 100% and make my own schedule. Pet sitting is a natural extention of my work day with tons of flexibility mixed in. LLet me know what you require and I'll make it happen. In my own environment, I have a good sized fenced in yard with a dog door. Hannah basically goes where she wants when she wants, except when I leave the house. She like to talk to the neighbors and needs a little help when she get super chatty. My sweet cat, Ponyo, naturally stays inside. She will venture out from time to time if the door is open but always comes back pretty quick. Lot's of fresh water around and meals are planned and controlled to avoid obesity.

About: My name is Aubrie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet!

About: I grew up in Alaska with a goldendoodle named Kinley and a tabby cat I rescued named Chance, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Now that I’m back home in Alaska after graduating college, I’ve continued fostering dogs and helping care for pets with different personalities and energy levels. Fostering has helped me become comfortable with shy dogs, high-energy dogs, and pets adjusting to new environments. I’m active, reliable, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is super flexible. I’m usually able to accommodate requests with a little advance notice. Send me a message and let's chat! Through fostering dogs and caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether that means getting enough exercise, sticking to their routine, or giving them extra patience and attention while their owners are away.
