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.

“Sarah is great with my high energy dogs! It’s hard for me to find care for them because one of my dogs is scared of strangers, but Sarah made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Very thankful and looking forward to future appointments!”

About: Hey! My name is Spencer! I’m an Alaska local and have been a dog watcher and house sitter for many years, but am new to Rover! I grew up with and around dogs and am very experienced in keeping dogs of all kinds safe, happy, and healthy. I have a completely fenced yard, am able to take dogs on frequent and long walks, and can provide 24/7 care. Above all, I will ensure your dog gets my undivided attention. Lastly, you know what's best for your pets, so I will always do my best to accommodate your needs! When dog sitting, it is my priority to ensure that your dog lets lots of care and attention. I love hiking and walking in nearby parks, so I take all the dogs I take care of for walks as much as possible. I am happy to accommodate based on other needs! I find it very important to spend quality time with the dogs that I watch, so I am with the dogs very often and take them on their favorite actives as much as possible. This creates a low stress environment where the dogs can build trust and feel safe and comfortable during their stay.

“Lauren is fantastic! Super attentive and communicative. Easy to work with and very gentle with my super shy cat who needed medication administered.”

“Lindsey was kind and quick to respond to my msgs. She was caring and asked for instructions on how to watch Benny. She sent me photos of him while she let him out and he looked very happy. Thank you, Lindsey! I will definitely rebook with you again!”

“Brandon came to watch our cat over Christmas. He was amazing! Our cat loved him. He took great care of her. He played with her, changed her food and water, and cleaned her litter box! He also helped tidy up some areas in our house and brought our trash to the curb which was incredibly thoughtful and so helpful! We couldn’t have picked anyone better! We HIGHLY recommend him!”

About: Semi-retired licensed veterinary technician with 30 years of experience. Available for anything from basic walks, pet sitting, boarding in my home up to compassionate hospice care. I will happily and gladly work around pretty much any schedule. You just let me know what your requirements are and I can usually accommodate them. My home is ready to spoil any pet. I'm currently pet less at the moment. My last 4-legged baby was an English bulldog. He was a special needs kiddo, so I'm used having to give medications on a regular schedule.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have been caring for them since I was a teenager. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I love giving other people’s pets the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet like family. I'm a tour guide a few days a week and have plenty of time to care for your pets, whether it be for walks during the day or overnight stays. My roommates have a new puppy so I can't do overnight stays at my house but I am available to stay in your home or do daily walks/ visits.

About: I love spending time with animals and have years of experience caring for cats, dogs, pets belonging to friends, family, and roommates. I’ve cared for animals ranging from babies to senior pets, and I’m attentive to their behavior and unique needs and routines with reliable communication throughout your time away. Most of my camera roll is already filled with pictures of beloved pets in my life, so you can expect plenty of updates and impromptu photo shoots of your fur baby! Pet care fits into my daily routine. I have a car and I’m self employed with some flexibility, and a large portion of my work is remote. My days are structured in a way that allows me to easily adapt to additions to my routine, including walks, check ins, or extended care. I’m fairly active and enjoy going on walks, but I also keep things low key at home, which works well for pets who appreciate both activity and downtime. I follow established routines as closely as possible, and am attentive to behavior to adjust my approach based on what the pet seems comfortable with while following the care plan. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and keep things tidy. I make sure pets have what they need, maintain clean food and litter areas, and provide updates so you know how things are going.

About: I love dogs, I like to do what they want! We live in Anchorage so dogs close by are preferable. We would love to do dog walks or drop in visits. We get outside a lot and like to get off leash if it's a safe area and your dog won't take off. Otherwise retractable leashes are the way to go. We are responsible about picking up dog poop. We will show your dog a good time! We will customize our care for your dog, just let us know any details you need us to know. On walks we will keep them on a leash unless it’s a dog park or an off leash area and know that they will return to our command. Whatever schedule is required is fine. Must check the calendar before full schedule is decided. Just let us know what time the walk would need to be and it should be fine. We can do a dog walks as needed, and I may have my son‘s help out. We usually try to keep them on, always to be safe.
