“My cat unfortunately he’s not always very friendly to other humans. She has diabetes and requires insulin shots every morning. Sinead has been so patient and willing to get to know Tiger. She has definitely gone the extra mile to make the visits successful!!”
“Shelley helped us out when I was in a pinch for a drop in on our poor pup who was in a cone after an injury! Shelley was great and took amazing care of Dash with his extra needs and kept me updated with pictures and updates”
“Erica did a great job helping me with my two pups and agreed to help me out on such a short notice while I was away on a last minute camping trip. She sent me pictures of my dogs showing that they were in good hands and they looked happy and healthy when I arrived back home. I would definitely use Erica again in the future!”
About: My name is Jacob and I have 15 years of experience caring for mine and my family's pets. I also have approximately 4 years of volunteer experience at shelters caring for cats and dogs. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. From tiny pups to large, strong dogs, I'm confident handling them safely and calmly. I've worked with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as leash reactivity, anxiety, fearfulness and high energy. I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on understanding each dog's unique needs. I'm autistic, and I've found that this often allows me to connect especially well with animals. I'm very attentive to body language, routines, and subtle behavior changes, which helps me respond calmly and consistently- particularly with dogs who need a little extra understanding. My goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience. My schedule is pretty flexible to do drop-in care for your pets or walks as needed. I am willing to work with clients so they can get the care they need for their pets. I am willing to do drop-in care at client's homes as needed. I can also take dogs for walks from client's homes as requested by client.
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals and have worked in veterinary settings with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, medication administration, and maintaining routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Whether your pet loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship, I adjust to their individual needs and personality. I’m available for weekday care before and after my job and weekend care. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any medical needs to help them feel secure and cared for. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and following detailed care instructions. I maintain a clean, calm environment and always use secure leashing, supervision, and careful introductions to help keep pets safe

“Brianne did drop in care for our dog and cat! She helped us out when we were in a pinch with a last minute booking. We were very happy with the care she provided our beloved pets! Highly recommend her services.”
“Whitney took such good care of our cat while we were gone. She was very thorough with her care and provided us updates and photos daily. We will certainly be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for drop in care. :)”
About: Our dog passed away and I miss her very much. Recently relocated to Alaska and loving it! Have extra time on my hands to care for your furry bundle. I’ll take care of her/him/them like my own. Sorry I can’t commit to a reoccurring schedule at this time. Currently between jobs (indefinitely!) so I have plenty of time until then to give your loved ones attention. I love being outdoors so plenty of fresh air is not an issue or playing inside and curling up on sofa with your fluff ball is cool too. No problem if your pet prefers their own space, I am open to all types of personalities. Happy to care for pets in your home according to your normal routine. I am currently renting so care in my home is not an option. Thanks for understanding.

Government Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex is an INCREDIBLE cat sitter who goes above and beyond to care for animals. When moving from Florida to Alaska I needed someone to watch my kitties for 2 weeks and was nervous about finding someone to reliably provide quality care for two of my cats who have medical needs. I was so pleased with Alex's care for my babies and felt immensely fortunate to have her as a sitter during the move. She was able to administer my diabetic cat's insulin and liquid medication for my cat with allergies. She also when above and beyond to grab the insulin from the pharmacy when I was unable to during my drive to Anchorage. All of her updates about the cats were detailed and helpful to keep track of how they were doing. She gave them lots of love and even extra treats which I'm sure they were excited for. Alex even offered to give one of my cats a bath to help manage his allergies. I cannot recommend Alex enough! I am happy to have found a great sitter in Anchorage :)
Katy is fantastic! She stopped by midday to let our dog out for a potty break and even brought in our packages, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time; she kept us updated and made everything feel easy and stress-free. We’ll definitely be using her again!
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.
