“we have seven dogs that were happy and healthy when we came home after a long day of fishing, so we really appreciate all Olga did and invited her back”


“Emylee was fantastic. It was my pups first non-family member stopping in to care for them during a day trip out of town. She did a meet and greet before the scheduled stop in giving us all good vibes. Lots of pictures and a blurb about what they got up to during the visit was a cute and welcome surprise. Highly recommend!”


“Lauren was absolutely incredible with our sweet Benny. She made the entire process so easy and comfortable for us! She provided thorough updates and pictures that we loved. Even when she was having car troubles, she still made Benny visit a priority. We would recommend her to everyone!”


“I cannot speak highly enough of Laura. She recently took care of my dog Dex and spent time with my two cats, while we were out of state on vacation. Laura's professionalism was beyond my expectations. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which was reassuring and comforting. Knowing my pets were in such capable hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away without worry.”


“Erica takes such great care of our high energy golden puppy! She not only provides immediate feedback/updates/pictures but has been incorporating training and obedience into her check ins as well. You can tell she cares about your pet and treats them as if they were her own. We plan to continue using her services as long as she is available :)”



“What can I say except - AWESOME! I booked Alex for drop in visits while I was out of town. I always have someone stay the night with my 3 pups, but was unable to find anyone available for overnights. I was concerned, but after her first drop in visit, I knew they were in excellent hands. She sent me a great newsy letter of their visit, video's, pictures and texts. I've never had anyone put such care into my pups well-being. She obviously loves animals...you can hear it in her voice/messages. I have a cockatiel too - and never mentioned anything about him. She even checked on him and gave him clean water and food. I'm always hesitant to leave my pups, but I will not worry again - I'll just make sure she's available before I take my trip! :)”


“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”


“I left a house full of plants and she took care of them well. Some didn’t make it, but that was more likely my fault. Great communication. My cat seems happy.”


“Highly recommend Courtney for your pet sitting needs!! She was responsive, proactively communicative and sent wonderful updates and pictures! My cat Sweet Pea was in the best hands and I’ll absolutely use Courtney again”



“Shelley is super sweet and my lil guy loves her! She is so reliable and takes great care of my cat Wilson. 10/10 will book her whenever she is available”


“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our senior kitty! She took the time to give her pets and play with her during her drop-in visits, and sent us daily pictures!”


“Amanda has watched my cat on two separate occasions now. She’s a great sitter who obviously cares a lot and has a lot of experience with animals. My kitty always seems happy and well taken care of. She’s quickly becoming my go to sitter!”


“The extra effort and time Kirsten puts in to each visit means so much! She leaves great detailed notes and I love reading all the ‘pupdates!’ I feel so comfortable leaving my Denali in her hands!”


“Brandon is quite literally a lifesaver! We needed a last minute drop-in visit after our sitter couldn’t make it and he responded quickly and was more than accommodating! My anxiety was through the roof worrying about my pups and he came through for us. We are very grateful for Brandon!”


“Raechel is a very caring sitter and went out of her way to understand what my cat Huckleberry would enjoy and tailored her visits to his needs. She is very passionate about her work and highly recommended!”


“Lauren did some daily stop in visits to feed our rabbits while we were out of town. She did a great job and was very flexible when our return plans got delayed. Thank you Lauren!”


About: I have had dogs, cats, and rabbits in my adult life and had dogs growing up. I just lost my 12 year old senior dog, sweet Mayble, a week ago. Mayble required extensive medical attention as she had kidney disease, a herniated disc that made it difficult to walk, arthritis, and allergies. She required daily medication for her ailments, She also needed frequent potty breaks, extra water, and extra care going up and down stairs and up onto the couch. I had to be in-tune with her if her little body was getting tired from a walk, I also currently have rabbits who require litter cleanings, hay, pellets, lettuce, and socialization, I’m currently in the process of bonding my 2 rabbits which requires a lot of time and patience. In a personal note, I’m a 37 year old single female who works in the education system. I am mature, capable, and responsible and would take care of your precious fur babies as if they were my own. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Currently I’m on Summer vacation until the beginning of August so, unless I’m going somewhere to camp overnight, My schedule is very open right now! I can care for young animals all the way up to senior animals. I am available for drop-ins, walking, or even house sitting. Let me know what you need! 😊

“Shanley is absolutely amazing!! She took amazing care of our two cats, and went above and beyond: spending an hour with them each day, sending lots of pictures, and even cleaning up beyond expectation! Could not recommend her more.”


“Hope is very responsible and responsive. My fur daughter Jackie was so stoked to have Hope and her boyfriend come hang out with her for some time during the day while I worked. I'm looking forward to having Hope watch Jackie every week. My baby seemed very happy with her new friends and it really helps her temperament to not be alone all day.”


About: I've been providing pet sitting for decades for all kinds of animals of many species. Both pets and non-pets. Booking me means I will research your pets breed and go over breed specific needs with you at the meet and greet, as well as their personality based needs. I currently have rabbits and used to have dogs, and my bestie's household has dogs and a tortoise. I have zero problems with taking care of plants or pet related chore. I have a portable carpet shampooer to clean up any messes that might happen. Just show me what the pets need for nourishment and enrichment and play, and I can take it from there. I'm also willing to do complex medical for pets. If you want me to sit for extra animals not listed, I will ask for more (5-20) per animal depending on level of care needed. I will walk any animal that wants to be walked. Species does not matter. You can meet me and my pets before hiring me and you can always cancel, no problem. I'm willing to do payment plans if you need to leave town with little notice. I'm willing to travel outside the Anchorage bowl, too, as far out as Talkeetna if you’re willing with work with me on gas. Ademas de mi experiencia, tambien soy Colombiana y puedo hablar español. 我说一点汉语和读中文。Avec je parlez et lis aussi un pue le français. Sto meglio italiano. I'm fluent in Spanish and I can speak/read Mandarin Chinese, French, and Italian. Language is no barrier. I’m also happy to send pics, video clips, and even set up zoom/facetime for pets during your trip. I work full time but my mornings, evenings, and weekends are flexible. My office is also pet friendly to an extent so pets with their own enclosures are welcome to come with me to work. I can provide care during mornings, lunch breaks, after work, and weekends. My pets are free range most of the time so there's playmates. I'm happy to temporarily board animals in my home so long as they have their own enclosure OR if they are friendly with my pets. I'm happy to send pictures and video to keep you up to date on your pet. Walks (for species that like walks), play time, toys, music enrichment, games, etc. I'm very strong and I'm good with animals that have nervous behaviours. I've also cared for newborn puppies, rabbits, and kittens and can provide the round the clock care for new born pets that they need by keeping them with me at all times.

Government Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandra was great - she was communicative, good with my pets and, most importantly, able to appropriately interact with my person-reactive dog. Within a few days, he warmed right up to her!

Sinead was excellent, responsive and provided pictures and updates every visit. The cats had plenty of play time and pets and warmed up to her very fast. Know your cats are in caring and thoughtful hands while you are away.

Callen was wonderful. She sent lots of photos and gave regular updates on my cats. One of my cats is having some kind of medical issue that is manifesting in difficult behavior change, but Callen handled the unique situation easily. I would certainly book her again.

Rachael was awesome with my dog Alba. Her communication was great, with frequent updates and videos. She went above and beyond!
