“Jayda always takes such good care of my house and pup! I can tell everything is cared for as if it was her home and gives my dog lots of lovings. Being away is always nerve-racking for me but I feel at ease knowing my baby is being well taken care of!”
“Kim was super nice, took the extra time to learn my dog’s schedule and take him on plenty of walks while we were gone. Kim sent tons of pictures and updates along the way. Came home to a clean house and happy dog!!”
“Cory was amazing! He took care of my dogs and house as if it was his. He kept us updated, left my house better than what it was. I will definitely be reaching out again to have him stay with the animals. Thank you Cory!! I appreciate you so much!”
“Dru is great! This was our pup's second time with her and she gave updates, photos and communicates well. We came home to happy dogs and were pleased with the comfort level we felt while we were away.”
“Ben is a 5-star house and dog-sitter! He was patient and kind with our 2 rescue dogs that both have some anxiety when meeting new people and they both warmed up to him right away. He sent us photos of the pups, got them out for walks, did all of our house-sitting jobs and cleaned our house before he left! Couldn't recommend Ben enough and we will definitely use him any time we can get on his schedule.”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our senior dog and our house while we were away for 5 days. We loved seeing pictures of him happy at home instead of stressed out at a kennel. We will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Dorian was amazing! He went above and beyond in caring for my very anxious dog. He was communicative and I think left my house cleaner even than when he arrived! Would love to have him sit my pup again ❤️”
“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!”
“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! ❤️”
“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!”
“Freya was great with my two pups! She is excellent at communicating and providing updates. Our dogs were well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry once when being away. Will be booking again!”
About: More than just a walk—I give every dog the care, attention, and love they deserve. I treat every pet like my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on making every walk or sitting experience safe, fun, and stress-free—for both pets and their people. Your dog isn’t just another booking—they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time throughout my day for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins while staying attentive to each pet’s individual routine. I’m organized and dependable, so your pet gets the care and attention they need without feeling rushed. Caring for pets isn’t just something I fit into my day—it’s something I look forward to. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own or a house, I provide care in my client’s home. I make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I respect each client’s home and make sure it stays clean, secure, and comfortable while they’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
“I can’t give Erica enough stars, she is absolutely amazing. During my recent trip, Erica stayed at my place and took care of my pet for ~ 2 weeks. She was quick to gain the trust of my anti-social cat, she communicated with me nearly daily, and my cat was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Erica also was an excellent house guest and left the place in great/tidy condition (probably better than I had left it). Thanks again Erica for taking such great care of Toed!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs/ animals since I was a kid. I have a 2 yo daughter that loves dogs/awoos she some times enjoys a walk. I’m available same day. 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.
About: I really care about animals and making sure their needs are being met. Also, enjoy spending time and meeting new animals and take the time to learn about them. I am a full time college student looking to gain extra money on the side while also spending time with other new animals around the town. I have three dogs at home and a cat and enjoy spending time with them and playing with them. I feed my own animals regularly and make sure they are in a safe environment.
“RaeAnna was so great! It was extremely helpful that she was available last minute, and then took such great care of my pup. She was timely, responsive, and sent very sweet updates.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chugiak
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Chugiak
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chugiak on Rover is $49.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 402 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chugiak. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
