About: I am mostly experienced with cats, but I have been around dogs for years in care or for fun, just never having direct ownership of a dog. Willing to try it out! I am more than happy to watch over a pet overnight or during the day, including pet care, watering and feedings. I am also capable of walks. In my own personal care, I have raised or adopted several cats including doctors appointments, cleaning, etc. Of other clients pets I have taken care of more or less the same, all satisfied in their pets care.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely love both dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, giving belly rubs, or spending quiet time cuddling on the couch, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care. I understand that pets are family, and I take pride in making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to senior cats who just want companionship, I enjoy caring for them all as if they were my own.

About: My name is Aubrie. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I live in an apartment with the dog park on my same floor, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pet! He is very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from high-energy working breeds to senior dogs who just need patience and consistency. What sets me apart is reliability and structure. As an aviation professional, I’m trained to follow procedures carefully, communicate clearly, and stay calm in high-responsibility situations. That translates directly into dependable, detail-oriented pet care. I’m comfortable with: • Puppy potty training routines and reinforcement • Senior dog care and mobility support • Administering oral medications • Special feeding schedules and dietary restrictions • Multi-dog households • Dogs with separation anxiety I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away. I take detailed notes during meet & greets and follow care instructions exactly — because consistency matters. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home respectfully and every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work during the day, but I am home every night, which makes me a great fit for house sitting and evening care needs. For house sitting, your pet will have consistent overnight companionship and a stable nighttime routine. During the day, I can provide morning care before work and afternoon/evening walks, playtime, and feeding once I return. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I’m typically available: • Early mornings • Late afternoons • Evenings I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about availability so there are no surprises. All of my services are provided in your home, where your pet is most comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and consistency are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication directions, leash protocols, and home routines. I take detailed notes during meet & greets to ensure nothing is overlooked. For house sitting, I: • Keep doors and gates secured at all times • Double-check leash and harness fit before walks • Follow any alarm or security instructions exactly • Maintain a clean, respectful environment For dog walks and drop-ins, I: • Use secure leash handling at all times • Avoid high-risk environments (dog parks unless requested) • Monitor weather conditions, especially in Anchorage winters • Ensure water bowls are refreshed and pets are safely settled before leaving I treat every home with professionalism and respect. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the service. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine come first.
About: Ready to get those paws moving! As an Anchorage local, I know how important it is for our dogs to get fresh air and exercise, regardless of the weather. I specialize in high-energy walks to help burn off those "zoomies" so you can come home to a calm, happy pup. I’m punctual, active, and dedicated to making sure your dog has a safe and fun adventure every time I grab the leash. 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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Girdwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
