Dog Walkers in Girdwood, AK

“I thought Erica was awesome! My dog did, too! Not only did she walk him, she allowed him to play with a lab of similar age & when my dog returned, he was actually exhausted!!! I thought it could not be done. Thank you, Erica! I highly recommend her!!!”

“First time using this service and was super happy with the results! Our boy was nervous at first and it was our first time being away from him. Come the second visit, he was ready to go and happy to see Lindsey! Thanks so much ☺️”

About: Hey there! 20 year pet care veteran here. Elated to snuggle, pet, brush, entertain and keep safe your fur babies and home while you're away! 2 night minimum, thanks! Happy to accommodate puppy/kitten through senior needs. My care experiences include: medication administration, walks, off-leash play, hair/ fur/ teeth brushing, bathing, specialty food/ liquid dietary needs, engaging play, animal clean-up both indoors and outdoors, maintaining routines, and behavioral health monitoring. I am open to caring for any fur, fin or feather fam you have! My schedule is exceptionally flexible; last minute requests, no problem. I travel often. My calendar is typically the best way to determine if I'm available! Generally, I have a two day/ night minimum for any service- except this summer! Note: dog walking is a separate service on Rover. Walks, on or off leash, off your property, are not included in any Rover drop-in or home sit. Every pet carer on here chooses to give walks (or not), and there is an additional fee per walk, per pet. I happily come to you and your home, so we can definitely keep your family's flow and routine. I'm tech savvy, so smart devices, security systems, cameras onsite and the like are easy for me.

About: Hi there my name is Katie! I’ve been around animals all my life! Dogs, cats, lizards birds, snakes…you name it! I’m very experienced with animals and always get a good response when meeting new pets! They can always tell I’m animal person! I have my own puppets who I take to the dog park everyday! We go on 4 walks a day as well so if I’m taking care of your pooch they will join us at the park and on walks! As for cats, birds ect they will be mostly in the house while sitting and will be fed watered and safe till you come by to pick them up! By the way I don’t do cancellations. If you can’t keep a meet and greet please don’t waste yours or my time. I don’t have an endless supply of gas money. I’ve wasted a lot of my personal funds on gas to meet and greet only to be canceled on. Respect my time and money please. If you book me keep the booking. As far and meet and greet before the official work day starts I do not reschedule those either. This is my income. This is my job. Please respect that. I love the outdoors! Anything related to hiking I love. When I go on a walk or to the park with my own dog I would definitely be including any of the dogs I am babysitting. My dog always gets lots of cuddles and love and attention so your animal would get the same. We do not use anger to tell our animals that they did something wrong instead they get put in the kennel and time out. I won’t be parenting anyone’s animals though unless I am hired for dog training which is another service all on it own.

“She did a great job communicating and doing mid day walks with my pup!”

About: I've personally had and cared for both dogs and cats, but would also be willing and able to care for other small animals. I love spending time with the animals that I care for. I am currently in an online graduate school program and have a very flexible schedule. I am open to a variety of pet sitting opportunities and would love to hear from you! I am currently unable to take pets in my home, but am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and even housesitting. I pay close attention to given instructions to ensure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away.

About: Hello, I’m Alyssa Kristiansen I reside in Anchorage, Alaska. I started dog walking and dog sitting when I was 12. I worked at doggy day care and got certified as canine first aid. Overall I love taking care of dogs and puppy’s when you are out at work or as well as vacation etc! I do this full time so I have a wide range of availability. I come in throughout the day to make sure your dog is well walked and hydrated When I take care of your dog, I make sure that they are safe by carrying bear spray on our walks. I always ask if they behave well around other dogs when I take them to the dog park or on the trails.

About: I am a 41yo Born & Raised Florida Boy. Brought up on a farm with everything from chickens, cows, Horses, pigs, sheep to Chow chews, English Mastiffs & Pugs. I genuinely love all animals but Dogs in general steal my heart so fast. I currently do not work so I am available 24 x 7 at this time. Plenty of time to offer love & care to your fur babies. I am also available to stay or visit your place if you feel more secure that way. I'm looking for a few ongoing visits as to not only build a relationship with the fur babies but as to make the stays as stress free as possible for both human & pet. I have a 1 bed flat. Plenty of dog parks and places to go for a walk. I do not have a fenced in yard but the dog parks and outside is where we like to he as a family.

About: I love all animals, with proper direction I’m positive I can give adequate care to any and all animals and ensure their safety and health. I work full time with a nonprofit organization downtown that helps unhoused youths. My schedule is Sunday through Thursday from 2:30 pm - 10:30. My days off are Friday and Saturday. I can take one break depending on the how far the location is from my work to give a potty break. In my free time I’m devoted to whatever may come and is needed for any and all pets ❤️ I’ve worked with the state for most of my adult life and always have passed a background check. My resume includes elderly care, hospital healthcare, in home healthcare, and most recently three years as a domestic violence/homeless shelter advocate with a non profit organization in rural Alaska. I’ve had animals my entire life and enjoy the company of all! I have experience with not only cats and dogs but fish, rodents and reptiles as well. I am open and eager to learn and care for all different kinds of animals and am confident in my abilities to do so with adequate information from the pet parents.

“Jennifer is so attentive to details and has great communication! She has come to walk our dog briar and let her out to use the restroom and sends me the cutest rover cards of briar! She is so sweet and we will keep coming back to her!”

“Sharika is great with my 5-month old Samoyed puppy who can be very disobedient and stubborn at times. She is incredibly accommodating in terms of walk times, and is flexible which I sincerely appreciate. Would recommend Sharika 100%!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have 3 pups of my own and a variety of exotic animals. I have worked as a dog trainer and volunteer at the vet and rescues. I am very active so long walks are my favorite and I have a soft spot for old animals. I communicate very well. The standards I have for the care of my pets is exceptionally high and I provide that same experience for every pet I take care. I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to do check ins or walks multiple times a day, if needed, and also have weekend availability. I am a big fan of communication(and photos!) but am trustworthy and reliable enough that you can also be out of service and rely on me to take care of things.

About: Love to walk and hike, have one lovable six year lab mix that is super friendly and still thinks he's young and would love to take your dog out. I am busy most of the day but am able to house sit and/or walk your dog rain/snow or shine alone or with my lab mix. I have a six year old lab mix that could stay home, or can walk with your dog on walks/hikes. My dog loves everyone and other dogs.

“This was our first walk with Carissa and all went well! She was on time, she did great with Lucy and locked up when she was done. Little report and picture at the end. We will be using Carissa again if available for our future needs! :)”

About: Hey, I’m Brandon—your Alaskan adventure buddy for pups of every size and temperament. Born in the lower 48, raised by a pack of high‑energy shepherd mixes, and now settled in Indian, AK, I spend most days scouting trails, chasing light for wildlife photos, and keeping my own Shepsky’s zoomies in check. If your dog has energy to burn—or nerves that need soothing—I’ve got the miles, patience, and know‑how to help them thrive while you’re away. Pet care is my workday. I freelance in photography, so I build my calendar around pets—not the other way around. I’m currently offering remote services only—drop‑ins, feeding, walks, and litter‑box care—no boarding or dog‑dog meet‑ups until my own Shepsky finishes training. That means your cat or pup gets undivided attention on a reliable timetable: morning potty breaks, mid‑day enrichment, and evening check‑ins exactly when you request, all confirmed in writing with GPS or photo proof each visit. Raised a German Shepherd from 15 weeks and trained as an EMT, I stay calm in chaotic moments and spot issues early. Because I’m doing in‑home visits only, your pet never shares space with other animals—eliminating cross‑contamination and social‑stress risks. I carry a first‑aid kit, follow strict sanitizing for bowls and litter tools, and log meds, meals, and behavior changes in real time. Whether it’s administering pills on schedule or scooping a finicky litter robot, you’ll know your home and fur‑family are treated with hospital‑grade care and neighborly respect.

“I'm so happy to have found Gail! She's great with my dogs and helps reinforce training and behavior that I've been working on with one dog in particular. I really feel like she goes above and beyond, even on rainy days, and I always come home to happy, well cared-for dogs. She has a pretty flexible schedule, so I look forward to continuing to work with her as a regular walker! She's also very responsive and communicates clearly, which I appreciate. Highly recommend!”

About: I bring energy and enthusiasm to every interaction, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime. My experience in keeping dogs active and entertained guarantees a fun and fulfilling stay for your furry friend! I’m currently working part time so have a very flexible schedule to give lots of love and attention to your dogs! I’m free most times during the week, and can be available on the weekend! I have house sat before and know how to be respectful of someone’s home while providing excellent care for your dogs! Keeping them in their home environment and making them as happy as possible!

About: I grew up having 3 dogs in Anchorage, Alaska! I have spent time in the outdoors with the company of my pets! Since graduating college I have adopted a cat and have had her for 2 years! I have flexibility due to my current job situation which allows me to be available! I am reliable and I understand the care the pets require including attention, exercise, nutritional needs, and of course love! I am nurturing and attentive to the needs of both the owner and their animals given my extensive history with pets! I volunteer at the Bozeman help center so I also understand the importance of my relationship with my potential clients!

About: I love all animals-my ideal life would be owning a farm. I will make sure your pet is not only well cared for but also receives enough attention that they aren’t lonely-as I would hope my pets would be if I trusted them to someone. I’ve worked on farms, fostered feral cats for ~4 year ans am very capable and up to a challenge. I am good at reading body language. I love cats and dogs and greatly enjoy this work! FYI: I live in Portage so mainly looking for jobs in the Girdwood area. My dog sitting rate reflects driving in twice/day and taking them for longer walk in evenings. Message me and we can work something out. I have a flexible schedule at my other job so I have so I have lots of time to to stop by and plan visits so pets aren’t left for long periods I will follow whatever instructions the owner gives me and makes sure the pet is safe and taken care of, and gets attention and exercise every day.

About: Growing up we had 3 dogs, chickens, cats and goats. I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Dogs are the best and help me get outside, I love to run and go on long hikes, and would love to be able to take care of your pup while you are away. I work during the week tue-Thur & have weekends free so I have time to give the pups walks morning and night and weekends are free for big adventures. As a house sitter I plan to care for peoples space & their animals. Making sure the dogs are fed, exercised and getting lots of affection
