“Sarah was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates everyday of our pups. Her home was great with a nice fenced yard. We knew our boys were well taken care of. She was extra accommodating to us extending our trip by a few days. Thank you thank you Sarah!”
“Very loving and caring to my pup. Demonstrates professionalism and excellence in providing customers needs. She provides a comfortable second home to my fur child. I'd recommend to anyone who has a busy work life and out of town obligations.”
“Great communication and very responsive to a last-minute scheduling change. They have a comfortable house for small dogs and a fenced back yard. Most importantly, they really like dogs!!! I would definitely feel good about boarding my two little dogs with them again.”
“I really appreciated Trey and that she took great care of Luna. She sent video and photos to let us know how she was doing, including ones that showed how well the her dog played with mine. It was a huge piece of mind to find a dog sitter like Trey!”
“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.”
“Jessica took great care of my dog! She sent pictures all day every day. Jessica walked her multiple times a day. My sweet baby came back happy! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”
“Great host, super easy to work with, very friendly dog of their own. Our dog is home and happy and tired probably wishing she was still there playing with Charlie and getting great walks.”
“It was Yuki's first time staying with anyone outside of the family and she seemed to have a great time at Crystal's. Loved the updates and pictures.”
“Ralph loves the dogs that stay in his home as if they were his own and his house is the perfect dog house- warm, comfy, and with the most amazing fenced yard. 10/10 would use again.”
“Julie was a fantastic communicator and sent lots of great photos and messages everyday. Sunny really seemed to enjoy his time at Julie and Cameron’s house.”
“Sharon and family opened their home to my Pit bull Mastiff Bruce. Sharon made the process very easy for me by having a meet and greet 1st to let him get familiar to the space. We received updates and pics during his stay. Bruce was definitely well cared for. If needed we most definitely will be booking again.”
“Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley and her family was wonderful! This was the first time Sasha was away from home but Ashley was so welcoming to my girl. I was nervous but she made me feel at ease. She took her on walks and she got to run a play in her backyard. I know Sasha had a wonderful time! Ashley sent me pics of my girl and that made me feel soo good! I would definitely recommend her!!!”
“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”
“Cadey and Jacob are 100% the best! They took such good care of my dog - they kept me updated with walks, general behavior and they sent photos! 10/10 recommend Cadey and Jacob for pet sitting!”
“I’m so happy that we found Lisa and Joe to mind our two pups while we were in Anchorage. They took great care of Ruby and Chance, made them comfortable in their home, and provided updates. Lisa is very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!”
“Amanda sure knows Dogs! Grateful to have met her. I just picked up our girls after a week-long stay and they are happy and healthy. Fantastic!”
“Sondrea took great care of our cat, Tito! Her home is truly a cat paradise and I know he loved being there. Tito was hesitant of his new surroundings and other cats at first, and Sondrea made sure to help him feel calm and comfortable while he adjusted. She sent pictures and video updates throughout the week and was easy to communicate with before and during Tito’s stay. We would definitely trust Sondrea to take care of Tito again in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Sami and I love dogs! I have two dogs, a black lab and a golden doodle. Unfortunately, they are in my hometown while I’m up in Anchorage for school. So I am looking for some dog company, whether that’s going on some walks or having a dog come stay with me for a couple nights! One of my dogs is a black lab and the other is a golden doodle. I have plenty of experience dog sitting various breeds such as German Short Haired Pointers, Blue Heelers, and plenty of other high energy dogs. But I would also love to have a couch potato come stay with me! I truly believe dogs are the best things and if you’re looking for someone to treat your dog as their own, then I am your girl! I currently am a student in the Dental Hygiene program at UAA. I will be at the school all day on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have shorter days on Tuesdays and Thursdays and do not have class Friday-Sunday. I have a fenced in backyard and when I am not at school, I am at home. I do not stay out late and never stay out all night. I love and take care of any other dog the way I care for mine.

Wow! I never got a chance to meet Joseph but Lisa was amazing! Upon contact we set up the dates and then a meet and greet. It was nice getting to do the meetup as it gave me an idea of what to expect. This was my first experience hiring a dog sitter through Rover for the purpose of dog boarding. Lisa sent me a pic of my pet Paizley as she was looking happy being there. Upon pick up, my pet resisted wanting to go home. Lol!! So that was a good sign. I definitely recommend Joseph & Lisa's services for your dog boarding/sitting needs.
Ralph was just so kind and caring towards our Roo girl. I was very sad leaving her for the first time with a new person since we moved to AK and knowing she was in such good hands immediately healed the worry! He was very attentive to her and her individual personality, and it was immensely evident how much TLC she was receiving day to day! Ralph was fabulous with daily communication and photos, highly recommend and would 11/10 take Roo back to stay with Ralph!!
