House Sitting in Eklutna Valley, Anchorage

“This was our first time using Rover. We did a meet & greet with Loyd, and I could sense right away by our girls behavior with him, that he was a perfect fit. Even with our little Robin who is very quirky and skiddish around new people. 3 shelties can be a handful, but Loyd did a great job! He kept in touch often and sent pictures. And when our flights home got all screwed up, he was willing to help by staying with the girls longer. I highly recommend Loyd for house sitting (it didn’t even seem like anyone was in our home, everything was just as we left it) like we did. We were able to enjoy our time away visiting our daughter without any worries about our fur babies. We will definitely use Loyd and the Rover service in the future.”

“What an awesome sitter! She did enrichment activities with the dogs and ensured everything was cleaned before we got home. My dogs were incredibly well cared for!”

“Lisa is such a knowledgeable and compassionate animal caregiver. On her first dogsit with us, she went above and beyond since our boy Max encountered a porcupine in our yard late at night. She removed 100+ quills and called around to emergency vets to get info before she even called me to let me know. I couldn’t imagine what might have happened if we had someone else taking care of Max in those circumstances. It makes such a difference to be away and have peace of mind knowing that Max is in such great hands. So grateful to have found her!”

“Melissa was great with my two dogs! She sent regular pictures and updates, and I never had to worry about them. I was very confident the whole time that they were being well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again, thank you!”

“Kate has taken care of our dogs many times in the past. Both are very high drive and can be a handful (we have nicknamed one "Dumpster" because he'll chew/eat anything he can get his mounth on). Kate is skilled at managing their challening behavior while providing them with an abundance of love & attention. We would not hesitate to hire Kate the next time we need help taking care of of our two rascals.”

“Georgea was attentive and communicated well while we were gone. Our pup loved her and didn’t want her to go on the last day! She took great care of our home and respected his schedule/needs. Thank you for allowing us to travel with less stress knowing he was well taken care of!”

“Freya was excellent with our spoiled dogs. Older boxer needs help getting up and down steps to go out, our middle aged german shepherd needs exercise daily by ball throwing in the back yard…they were raised on acrerage, not very socialized and we now live in town near a busy street so always fear they’ll take off chasing someone… (cuz they’re not leash dogs). The boys immediately liked her which sealed the deal when they met. She left our house perfect and we highly recommend her for your beloved pets.”

“McKenna was great! She stayed at our place and watched our two dogs for a few days and we came back and the place looked better than before we left! The doggos loved her too!”

“Suzanne took great care of our dogs and home and was always responsive while we were away. The dogs were relaxed and comfortable upon our return.”

“Letty stayed several days in our home sitting with our elderly golden. She checked in with us and made us aware of everything that was going on. I appreciated the pictures of a happy dog. She left our house very clean and tidy, we hardly knew anyone had been there.”

“Marisa is an exemplary caregiver! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her a handful of times, she is an excellent communicator and very reliable! I’d describe her as honest, gentle, and considerate! Your pets and/or home would be very safe in her hands!”

“Pamela, in general, is it's a warm, loving and compassionate person. We are sisters and grew up with a cat. She was always gentle and loving with our cat. She had a dog when her children were young and provided a warm loving environment for him. She has always provided loving, compassionate care for any pets she has had.”

“Diana was exceptional! She sent pictures at each visit, and was wonderfully gentle and caring of our cat and dog. She did some last day cleaning that was unexpected and SO appreciated.”

About: PLEASE CHECK MY AVAILABLE TIMES IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH, THANKS. I’ve been entrusted with many peoples pets, whether it was full time pet sitting, check-ins, or just walks. I’ve not only taken care of cats and dogs, but I also have experience taking care of birds, aquatics, amphibians, rodents, livestock, and reptiles. I have a love for all animals, even the ones some see as creepy or too time consuming (insects, seniors, puppies, etc.). I currently work at a vet clinic and have lots of experience handling animals of all demeanors. I also have experience giving animals medication and other treatments. I overall just have a love for animals and want to reassure pet owners that their beloved pets are in good hands. Currently I am a part time worker due to going to college. I work two ten hour shifts (Friday and Saturday) and two four hour shifts (Tuesday and Thursday). After my four hour shifts, 8:00-12:00, I have a two hour block before I go to class for an hour and fifteen minutes, 2:30-3:45. On the weekdays I don’t work, I have classes in the morning from 8:30-11:15 and at 1:00-2:15, giving me an hour and forty five minutes in between. On Sundays I do not have any obligations so I’m available all day. Apologies for the weird times but as much as I would love to spend all day with animals, that probably wouldn’t sit well with my grades. :) As someone who owns pets, I understand the fear of leaving them in the care of someone you don’t know, so I strive to ensure that everything goes as smooth as possible. This includes strictly following the guidelines given to me by the owners, not allowing dogs outside unattended or contained, respecting the pets boundaries and letting them get to know me, giving pet owners updates, and treating the animals with the same care I would want my own to be given.

“Jade did a great job watching our home and 3 dogs”

“Rebekka took great care of our two goldens. Super dog sitter and I would definitely recommend her and will use her again.”

“I can't say enough good things about Skylar's pet skills! Being his sister, I have known Skylar his whole life. He has always had a special connection with animals, especially dogs and horses. He has been volunteering at the local animal shelter for over 5 years now and the growth he's shown is impressive. Skylar truly loves the animals in his care, and he treats them with the kindness and patience they all deserve. He is great about following written directions to ensure your pet has all their special needs met. He is reliable, trustworthy, and courteous. Skylar and I work together when we have dogs boarding or visiting, so pets are rarely alone and have lots of support throughout the entire day. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets in the same loving way that you do, look no further!”

“There are not enough synonyms to descibe how wonderful, amazing, and great Amanda is. Responsive, excellent communication and a joy to interact with. Will work with her again 100% and recommend her to all our friends.”

“Berta was awesome, super responsive, thoughtful, and attentive to our dog and cats, and our home during her overnight pet sitting.”

“They're always on time and my dog loves them. Very kind and responsible are the perfect words to describe Gloria and Max. highly recommended for you!”
