“Elizabeth J. Did a great job house sitting and watching our 2 dogs and cat! They were very communicative and sent cute updates of our girls. They also left our house in great condition. 100% would recommend and will be hoping to have them as our rover in the future again!”

“Marie is the most kindest person ever! She went above and beyond when watching my cat and dog. She watched them for 2 weeks in my home. She checked in daily, sent pictures and videos of both of them. Both of the animals love her. I will definitely continue to use her for any services I need”

“Mary was a wonderful house sitter. We came home to happy pets and a clean house. She did a great job communicating throughout her stay and sent pictures and updates regularly. We will definitely book Mary again!”

“She did such an awesome job with our dogs and house while my little family was away! Very quick to respond and sent regular updates! My dogs can be a handful to new people but she loved them like her own :) the house also looks just like we left it! 10/10 will be booking with Hailey again !”

“My dogs love Tunde. They were happy the entire time I was gone. She was great with my senior dog, special needs dog, and my younger dog. They’re all very large and she was able to handle them all. I cannot recommend her enough.”

“I have a very challenging extra large dog with fear aggression. Ariana was a natural with her and absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my beastly pup and home. I will definitely be hiring her again to dog/housesit.”

“Kacy did a wonderful job of taking care of my kitty. Sadie is an elderly kitty who has lots of quirks but Kacy worked really hard at winning her over and was very conscientious to notice her habits to help reduce her anxiety. Kacy kept me informed every day and was open to suggestions about taking care of Sadie. She took care with my house just as if it were her own. I can't thank Kacy enough! .”
“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.”

About: ‼️I can only provide services in the Palmer/Wasilla area! My whole life my job at home was to care for the cats and dogs, and it was my favorite thing in the world. Now I have moved out, and I just want to continue caring for pets by providing services on Rover which is so perfect for me! I'm currently a cleaner for Janco Cleaning Company, 3-4 hours per night, and I provide services on Rover on the side with my whole day until dinner time reserved for pets! I live in an apartment with 2 adorable kitties, I am only able to house small dogs and cats in my apartment, as much as I love big dogs I have to control myself!
“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!”

“Jaelyn was a fantastic pet sitter and home sitter! She was very pleasant to work with and watched my pets at my home for several days. I was sent many photos of my pets and texted updates on their days. Both my fur babies seemed relaxed and totally comfortable in her care. Jaelyn administered medication for my senior cat. My dog enjoyed walks and play time each day. She also watered plants, brought in mail, and took out trash for us. This was my first time using Rover services and she made the experience very easy. We will definitely request future services from Jaelyn!”

“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!”

“Jayda is wonderful and we will definitely book her again! She took on the challenge of watching both my puppy and my daughter’s adult dog during our two-week family vacation. We received two updates daily, with photos, and more after we requested it. She was flexible about schedule changes, adding an extra day and cheerfully greeting us after our early-morning return. Communication was excellent both before and during our trip. Both dogs were happy, healthy, and well-exercised when we returned, and clearly fond of Jayda. We enthusiastically recommend her.”

About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, gaining years of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. Volunteering at an animal shelter has allowed me to care for pets with a variety of needs, including special medical or behavioral requirements. I’m always ready for long adventures on trails with active pups or a quiet day at home with relaxed furry friends. My goal is to provide love, attention, and customized care to ensure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently an online college student and work full time, but I can make accommodations. My online classes give me a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find the best time to care for your pet. I’m dedicated to ensuring every pet gets the attention and care they need, no matter the schedule. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. On Alaska’s trails, I take extra precautions to ensure pets are secure, safe from wildlife, and prepared for the weather. At home, I create a clean, hazard-free environment and am vigilant about managing allergies or specific sensitivities. I’m trained to handle emergencies, including performing the Heimlich maneuver on both cats and dogs, and I maintain a strong focus on personal safety while caring for animals. My goal is to provide a safe, secure, and enjoyable experience for every pet in my care.
“Heaven did great for a seven day house-sit! I had quite the menagerie at the time - fish, frogs, birds, cats, and came to all of them happy and healthy and the house just as tidy as when we left.”

About: I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and senior care for dogs. I am happiest when I am taking care of animals in whatever way they need love and care. I especially love helping out with farm animals whenever I have the chance! I currently work part time so have plenty of time Wednesday through Sunday to care for your pets. I prefer to check on them in their own homes frequently each day giving them plenty of time to run around and play or have some love and companionship. When I check on your pets in their homes I will be sure they have everything they need to be comfortable and safe while I’m away. I will also spend an hour with them to make sure they have plenty of time to do their business outside and get their wiggles out if they need it.
About: Iv had dogs my entire life. From labs to bullterriers, pitbulls, britneys,GPS puppies. I will take care of yours as I would my own. Walks, parks if yours likes parks, cuddles, anything they need. I work from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings or extended stays with advance notice, and I’m quick to respond to messages. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Dogs are always leashed outside and stay within my sight at all times. I closely follow your care instructions, keep a calm and attentive environment, and make sure pets get plenty of love, supervision, and safe play. I treat every dog like they’re my own.
“Melissa gave great updates, was able to handle our 3 boys with little to no fuss. She could read their behaviors and adapt like an experienced dog care provider. Genuinely seemed to enjoy the puppers. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

“She kept us informed on how the dogs and cat was doing with texts and pictures. Our older dog ended up getting kennel cough right before we left. She gave her the pills and kept us updated on Thistle's progress. We got back and Thistle was back to her usual self. Our house was cleaned and could find nothing wrong with the place!!! I will book f a. again when we go out of town!”
