“Koda had the best time. Kiara and her husband provided the perfect place for our dog while we were gone. They were extremely communicative, sent us pictures and a wonderful family. We would absolutely use them again!”
“Sarah was extremely accommodating for watching my newly rescued dog. She agreed to watch him while we are away for a week & half, but also agreed to take him for a couple nights to get him use to her home before the big trip. He had a great time on his trial night so I am confident that he will be fine for the time we do the long trip. He was so happy when we picked him. The house has a well fenced in yard in the front & back. He was in very good hands.”
“Jessica was kind and welcoming for my nervous doggo! She took great care of him and helped him settle in quickly. She also sent me sweet pics of him every day. Will definitely be returning to Jessica for future pet sitting needs.”
“Madelyn is amazing. My pup can be high energy and he had so much fun and she took such good care of him. I'm so grateful for the consistent communication and would trust my pup in her care again.”
“Amazing. Our dog was so happy and loved Karissa’s pup! Klarissa was super communicative and sent multiple cute photos each day. Would definitely recommend!”
“Olga did a great job of taking care of my senior dog. Took her on short daily walks, sent me lots of pictures and updates every day. She definitely has a repeat customer.”
“Sharon put our mind at ease! She is a warm and sweet person and our dogs loved staying with her and her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for the care of our fur babies. I will be recommending her to my friends as well!”
“Mia was wonderful to work with! She kept us in the loop about Summit’s stay, sending us quick texts and adorable photos. Our pup came home feeling happy and relaxed, all thanks to Mia! We’re totally recommending her to all our fellow military families looking for a dog boarding service in the area.”
“Sely was incredible! She helped me last minute with a situation with a friend’s dog. She sent me updates every day with pictures and videos, and she has a great space to accommodate any personality/type of dog.”
“Jennifer is super attentive and kind. She paid great attention with my dog and has kept me updated with lots of photos. I highly suggest her to anyone and has my greatest regards.”

When I need to briefly step away, all dogs are securely kenneled in my home for their own safety and comfort, ensuring a calm, safe, and controlled environment until I return. You can have peace of mind knowing your pup is always watched over and cared for.
“Kassandra was amazing. After our meet and greet I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her and knew he would be in good hands. She was very flexible with our schedule and quickly responded to correspondence. I highly recommended.”
“Nari was happy and healthy with Paula. She kept me informed as he was adjusting to being with her. Nari comes to work with me every day and hangs out in the car when I'm at work. Paula did the same with him to keep it as normal for him as possible. Will definitely re-book with her in the future.”
About: I've been a dedicated pet caregiver for 5 years, including 2 years caring for a senior dog in North Carolina - managing medication schedules and gentle exercise routines - plus ongoing care for my own cat at home. I also have experience training puppies on basic commands like sit, stay, and come, using positive reinforcement. I'm committed to attentive, compassionate care and treat every pet like family. Im flexible for now You can calls or text to fit a schedule also i can do overnight if you need . Please let me know :) As a pet caregiver, I offer both in-home pet care services for my clients' pets as well as care for my own pets at home. When caring for pets in my own home, I ensure that they have plenty of food and fresh water, clean litter boxes (if applicable), and comfortable bedding. I also provide daily playtime and exercise, as well as regular grooming to keep them looking and feeling their best. When providing care in my clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any other special needs their pets may have. I make sure to provide plenty of attention and affection to make the pets feel comfortable and happy in their own environment.
“Jessica’s home was warm and inviting and extremely dog friendly. My 8 month old doesn’t have manners yet and is a bit rambunctious but Jessica was so patient with her. Sent me pics and videos of her days. If my dog Tilly could speak the day after I picked her up I just know she would have said I want to go over to my friends house! Thank you so much for loving her during my absence. You are my person I will always call you first! Thank you again!”
“Melanie and her dog Ollie were great hosts for our dog Mabel. Mabel had a great time and it really seemed like Melanie went out of her way to make Mabel feel at home.”

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.
Tip: 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.
