“My two huskies were very happy spending a week with Kiara and her family. They were spoiled with tons of attention and all the couch cuddles they could hope for. Kiara was very communicative, understanding of each dog's preferences, and willing to accommodate needs for my senior dog as well. I would be happy to leave my dogs there again!”
“Kristina was friendly, was willing to feed raw feed, and got our pup some exercise. She was also understanding about a late change in pickup time, which was nice. Our dog seemed happy and healthy when I picked her up.”
“Lindsey was great with our dog Jellybean. She sent daily check-ins, was very patient with him, and even taught him a new trick. It was so nice knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. I’d definitely have Lindsey watch him again and recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”
“Trey is an awesome sitter! I know when Trey watches my dog that he is well taken care of, comfortable, and all his care needs are met. Thank you for taking such good, attentive care of Rocky!”
“Huw and Jolynne are wonderful! They've cared for our Cavapoo multiple times, often for a week at a time, and our dog always looks forward to returning to their house. They've been flexible and responsive, and we appreciate their clear and quick communication. Our dog is happy and healthy when we return each time. It's clear that Huw and Jolynne truly know and love dogs. It's been a pleasure to work with them.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Ralph accommodated my crazy work travel schedule, sent lots of updates, and most importantly took excellent care of my pup Rocky. I so appreciate his attention and care of my dog. Thank you Ralph!”
“Jennifer and her partner did a wonderful job watching my 6 month old Gracey for 8 days. She received lots of play time and socialization with different dogs and I received daily updates - Win Win! This was her first big adventure and I think she loved it! I plan to use Jennifer again should the need arise.”
“Mia was amazing with both of our pups. She provided frequent updates for us so we knew what they were doing. She was very patient and understanding of our youngest dog who we now have confirmed has separation anxiety. She is also very perceptive to dog behavior and encourages a pack mentality. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again.”
About: I've had pets my whole life! Mostly rescues, always with their own quirks and needs, and I've learned a lot along the way about helping them settle into a new space and feel safe. Being a therapist, I'm tuned in to the little cues animals give off, so I tend to pick up on what a nervous or shy pet needs before they even show it. I'm the auntie to many of my friends furry babies. I also love getting creative with how I engage with animals. I make my own enrichment activities to keep pets mentally stimulated. At home, I've got a Shetland Sheepdog who's an absolute angel- my adventure buddy. Your pup will be in great company. My partner and I both work from home, so pet care fits naturally into our day. That means your pet won't be alone for long stretches. I can offer regular breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, and I'm nearby if anything comes up. It also makes scheduling easy. Because my partner and I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention and company throughout the day. My home is a safe, comfortable space where pets can settle in and relax. I stick closely to your pet's usual routine so things feel as familiar as possible while they're with me. We have a small fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play, plus a secure balcony pets have easy access to for fresh air throughout the day.
“Susan was excellent! She was very communicative and proactive with caring for my Winston. He was in his feels while we were apart, but Susan made sure that he was as comfortable as possible.”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Took excellent care of our pups and provided regular updates. Very satisfied with his care, had good communication, and our fur babies really enjoyed their time with him.”
“Jordan did an excellent job taking care of our dog for 2 weeks. She sent photos and responded promptly. Our dog got to sleep on the couch (like at home) and got to play with her 4 dogs. Seems like he had a blast.”
“Erica picked up Kylo for boarding overnight when I went out of town and even took him on some walks with other pups. All of his needs were taken care of and I didn’t have to worry.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Big Lake home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Big Lake.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Big Lake sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
