“Warren stepped up to check in on Nyx and Woody when we had a need at short notice. He made sure the dogs had food, water, attention and got their meds. He also took the time to clean up after old man Woody when he messed in the house. The dogs always looked happy in the check in photos. Would definitely book again.”
“Sarah was fantastic! Super communicative and chill! She made sure to include my skittish kitty in her visits, which made me so happy and she helped me feel better leaving the fur babies for a couple of days! Would love to work with Sarah again in the future!”
“Amanda was great to our 2 kitties! She sent so many pictures and updates. Even our shy kitty came out to get attention and love from her. We will definitely be asking her to watch them again in the future! Thanks for being such a trustworthy, great sitter! 😊”
“To be honest, I'm disappointed with my experience. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel it's important to provide honest feedback. I don't believe this sitter was particularly comfortable with cats. Some of the photos she sent actually concerned me, as my cats appeared stressed or unwell in several of them. She also allowed my cats onto the kitchen counter, which is not acceptable in my home. Additionally, she sent photos showing rugs and their harnesses knocked off counters and out of place. I had to point out that things had fallen and needed to be picked up before they were even addressed. When I returned home, the harnesses were still left in front of the door. Caring for my cats is a very straightforward job. They have an automatic litter box, automatic water fountain, and automatic feeder, so daily responsibilities are minimal - wet food, a treat, and try to get them to play. Unfortunately, the lack of attention to detail and effort was noticeable. I've used Rover before and had wonderful experiences with cat sitters who kept me updated with thoughtful messages, photos of my cats enjoying treats, playing with toys, giving me their arrival and departure notifications, and observations that helped put my mind at ease while I was away. Unfortunately, that was not the experience I received this time. Communication was sparse, and I felt like I was hearing very little from someone who was regularly entering my home and caring for pets that are incredibly important to me. The daily updates felt generic and lacked the level of care, engagement, and reassurance I was expecting.”
“Alysa was fantastic and I’ve definitely found my go-to sitter when we travel. She had great communication, sent so many cute pictures and videos, and even extended the stay because we had flight delays! My little guy Ralphie took to her almost instantly and that’s not something that happens often when chihuahuas meet new people! She went over and above and I’ve already booked her for our next trip”
“Dorian was fantastic with my three cats, he was easy to communicate with, providing detailed and fun updates (and pictures!) each day, and making sure that they all my pets received appropriate attention. My kitties had a great time and he was so thoughtful with playing with my high energy kitten, and then giving my older guys extra love and treats. I trust him to watch my house and pets any time, and I'm looking forward to working with him in the future, thank you Dorian!”
About: Since I was 9, I have house/pet sat for countless neighbors and friends. Dogs/cats/birds/fish/hamsters/Guinea pigs/bunnies/lizards - the list goes on! I have a sweet, very active 3 yr old doodle who loves all animals/humans. I spoil animals and am “that person” that will ask to play with your dog when we cross paths 😊 Although I have only ever operated through word of mouth, I am new to the area so am here to build my clientele! Let’s connect!! As of May ‘26, I can be home full time. For boarding/daycare, I do prefer pets that have minimal to no shedding. If in your home, I’m open to any and all! :) I treat your pets just as you would - or better. It’s what I would want for mine. I’m flexible and will do anything you prefer, whether it’s using a crate, being strict with leashes (especially if they’re an escape artist), specific food/med schedules, etc. I am highly experienced with security systems, caring for homes, and watching out for issues like unlocked doors/leaks/etc. I take detailed notes and make sure to stay in contact - and I am not afraid to ask questions! As of May ‘26 - I am home full time! Dogs must be kenneled while I am gone. I’m open to puppies but they need to be pretty well trained (I.e. potty & crate) as I have a dog as well! My #1 priority is making sure pets are safe and secure at all times. Depending on the location, dogs are either leashed or fenced in - ALWAYS! I grew up with escape artist dogs so I learned the “do’s and don’ts” pretty quick :) I do my research on toys/bones and always monitor the pet while they’re “busy.” Animals are my best friends and I do everything I can to make sure they’re 100% safe, well taken care of, and HAPPY! That being said, I do highly prefer minimal to no shedding depending on the size of the dog and the situation.
“Jayda was great! She communicates very well, and gave lots of photos/updates which I loved. She also accommodated a rather last minute booking for me, and she was very professional and easy to work with.”
About: I enjoy keeping cats and dogs well and at ease while their owners are away. I’ve had many cats and a couple of dogs. I know leash commands and I like walking. I’ll keep you updated about your pets. Other than an 8-day trip in mid July, I’m available for pet care. I can work with your schedule and I’m eager to meet new clients I'm careful to protect your security while you are away. Your privacy is very important. I will visit your pets to keep them healthy and put them at ease while you are away.
“Katie is excellent! We highly recommend her to anyone needing their pets to be taken care of. We received detailed notes after every visit, photos, and funny tidbits about our pets while under her care. We will be repeat customers in the future.”
“Thanks so much for taking such good care of our dog Ashley. Appreciate your attention to detail and keeping us updated on how well Murphy was doing while we were gone!”
About: Hi!! Born and raised in Alaska, I have my way down south to play soccer and study at Wingate University! A little bit about me - I had a dog for 18 years of my life and have taken care of every kind of dog (and other pets) since I was about 14. I LOVE animals and treat the ones I care for like my very own, which brings me not only joy but a lot of repeat customers! I also have experience fostering puppies/dogs. To add, I have experience with senior dogs and administering medicines. I am also very active and love getting outside/playing with your pets! I am a student athlete at Wingate University, however my schedule in the spring is fairly light. I have a couple classes in the morning and then am free for a couple hours during the day until practice at 4pm that usually lasts about 1-2 hours. I am completely free in the evening after that! Pet care would fit into my weekly routine per request of the client. Drop ins, walks, or check ins would be very doable, realistic, and enjoyable for me to do throughout the week! I care for the pets as I would care for my own. I take notes and make sure to follow all the clients requests about food, boundaries, behaviors, and anything else that is necessary. I also love to keep in touch with the client by sending them pictures/updates of their fur babies, especially if I am watching them for an extended period of time. If the client wanted to meet me prior to allowing me to care for their dog, I would gladly do so!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two corgis of my own, Chimi and Churro, so caring for pups is just part of my everyday life. They’re my little adventure buddies, and we love being outside together, going on walks, exploring trails, and soaking up fresh air. Because I’m used to handling my own energetic dogs daily, I’m comfortable with all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn energy, playtime, or slower, gentle care, I’m happy to match their pace and routine. My goal is lots of love, exercise, and a very happy dog. Im currently working at a dental office Monday-Thursday 9am-5:30pm. So I’m available most weekdays if you need a quick walk or drop-ins, if not I'm available Friday-Sunday with whatever pet needs you may have! In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space like my own. I make sure pets feel calm and comfortable by keeping their environment familiar and stress-free. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. On walks, dogs are always leashed and closely supervised. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free.
About: Hi! I have taken care of a variety of pets, including my own, and love caring for them. I love learning about each of their unique personalities and caring for them in the way they need. I do have a full time job, however it is a very flexible schedule, so I can fit in all of your pet’s needs. Just let me know when you need me! I have two pets myself, a dog and a cat. I love spending time and playing with my dog as she is very hyper. I also love to snuggle and chill with my cat.
“Selena did an amazing job and was very flexible with my military schedule. She sent update pictures that I appreciated and I’ll be definitely having her take care of my fur babies in the future 💕 She even brought in a package I had outside 🙏🏼”
“My kitties liked Katie when she first walked through the door, even my less social one. Katie gave specific details about their behaviour during her visit, which I really appreciate. Knowing they're comfortable playing around her is a good sign.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Chugiak is $21

I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She is incredibly kind, reliable, and truly treats my pets as if they were her own. I have four cats, and she provides drop-in visits while I'm away, giving me complete peace of mind knowing they're in such good hands. Amanda goes above and beyond to ensure my furry family members are well cared for, comfortable, and loved. Her attention to detail, communication, and genuine compassion for animals make her exceptional. I am so grateful for the wonderful care she provides and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a fantastic pet sitter! 🐾❤️
Wow! Im so glad we chose Benjamin vs boarding. He was so helpful and communication was phenomenal. He went above and beyond what we asked for. He even asked questions about our pets that I didn't even think of as far as their needs. We have a zoo and they were all happy and healthy when we got back.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
