“Jayda looked after four dogs in our home for several days. We are very happy with her service. She was prepared, asked good questions, reached out when appropriate, and we came home to everything in great shape. Pups were happy and the house was great. Would use her service again.”
“Sorona is our first choice for dog & house sitting. We have always had positive experiences. She is great with communication, flexible when she can be, and reliable and friendly. She always leaves the house clean and has even made me a few lovely heartfelt gifts. Always feel more comfortable when I have to leave town when she is watching the dogs.”
“Bradley took great care of our two dogs and house. He’s a great communicator and quick to respond. He also saved us by staying another night due to unexpected travel delays. The dogs had a lot of fun with him. Would highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth is so good my with high anxiety rescue pup. I appreciate how clean she left my home (even washing my coffee cup from the morning before I left!) she was communicative, kind, and sent me photos of her engagement with my dog throughout the day when I was missing him. Really appreciated her energy and willingness to be super flexible with start times! I will be using her again in the near future! ❤️”

Self employed massage therapist that has free time to help others. I have an Alaskan/ Siberian husky (Stripes) we love hikes, snow, running, water, and treat training sessions. I treat everything with love and respect. Especially someone else’s space, I do love to think I leave a presence and I hope it’s of respect and care.
“This is a late review, but finally getting around to it. Ami is a great dog sitter! She spends lots of time with my dog and shares photos and videos regularly. I'm fairly certain she fell in love with Bauer (it happens), and will likely fall in love with your pet too.”
“Chase was very easy to communicate with and he was quick to win over our dogs (who honestly can be a bit too hyper for some people). Chase was very prompt and professional, following instructions around meds, baby gates, etc. We'll definitely hope to work with Chase in the future!”
“Katraena is very kind and professional. She is great at not only giving your pets the best care, but updating you on what’s happening, and sending fun pics and videos. She is so thoughtful!”
“Holly was wonderful! She was available at the last minute, came over to meet our pup before we left, communicated well, was flexible, and willing to do whatever we asked. She was really good with our dog and took her for daily walks, kept her company and stayed with her to keep her company. When we got home, the house was clean and tidy, and Holly had done laundry and dishes. Holly was absolutely the best and we will ask her again to watch our pup!”

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!
“Kira took fantastic care of my two dogs over Thanksgiving week. They absolutely loved her, and it was clear from their relaxed, happy behavior that she gave them lots of attention and affection. She also went above and beyond with my chickens. She noticed their heater wasn’t working, figured out how to build a functioning fixture from parts in the garage, and then continued to check it daily to make sure it was still working properly until we got back. I will definitely be asking Kira to watch my animals again. She’s competent, communicates clearly, and is truly compassionate with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. And here ADA dog is a sweetie too!”
About: My dad and I raised and bred two separate litters of kittens around December 2025 and I’ve always been around animals such as dogs and cats. Currently I have a Sphynx cat named Jada, a Mexican Zolo named Zuma, and a Great Dane named Bruno Currently I work the morning shift but sometime I work the mid day shift so I’m usually off around 12 on the early days and 5 on the mid day. I have a fenced yard and I have a cat to keep your pets company if needed. If I’m spending the night over I would send you updates and photos if desired of your pets
“Eric watched our dogs for a couple days and was reliable and communicated well. He let us know when he arrived at our house and sent lots of pictures putting me at ease. Dogs were clearly in good hands and we would not hesitate to have Eric watch the dogs or walk them again in the future.”
About: I have taken a vet assistance class and know how to tell if a pet needs help or not. I am good at connecting with animals aswell I love going out and going on adventures, and it would be good opportunities to take the pet out aswell to get fresh air and exercise. I make sure they have their bowls full with water and food, i take them out multiple times and walk around to a dog park near my house.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely love both dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, giving belly rubs, or spending quiet time cuddling on the couch, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care. I understand that pets are family, and I take pride in making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to senior cats who just want companionship, I enjoy caring for them all as if they were my own. I work a full-time job, but my hours very sometimes only four days a week sometimes five days a week I’m available to stay the night and home so that your animals feel loved and cared for I’m typically off by 5 PM and I love to go outside so would be super interested and bringing your dogs on walks or the dog parks or even just playing with them in the backyard I wake up early enough to play with your pets. Feed them make sure they go potty outside and I’m also available to go and check on them in the middle of the day on my lunch and then I would stay for dinner time and throughout the night playing with your pets taking them outside going and doing activities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chugiak
Darlene was a treasure and I’m so glad she was able to take care of Peanut! She made me feel reassured as I was anxious to leave her and took excellent care of Peanut (her love of dogs is so apparent) even taking her in day trips to the beach! I’d highly recommend Darlene for any care needs!
Ben was such an incredible dog/house sitter. We were so anxious about leaving our dogs for the first time, especially because one of them is very hesitant around strangers and would often used to growl at them. Ben completely alleviated our concerns and did such an amazing job with both of our dogs. We got pictures every day, plenty of communication, and when we came back one of our dogs kept looking for him out the window because while she was happy we were back she also really liked him and missed him right away! If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Ben! Save yourself some stress and hire him the next time you need a sitter, you certainly won't regret it.

The average cost of House Sitting in Chugiak is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $91 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Chugiak walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Chugiak maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Chugiak choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
