About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a special place in my heart for animals - so much so that I have pursued a career in conservation in Alaska! Since I was 10 years old, I have helped raise and care for 5 dogs, one of which lived to be 17 years old. Given my experience taking care of my own fur babies, my neighbors and friends have always been able to rely on me to help care for their beloved companions. Having owned a Rottweiler-Doberman mix myself, I am no stranger when it comes to loving and taking care of larger dogs; however, there is more than enough room in my heart for the small dogs too! I currently have a full time job and a pup of my own; however, I have plenty of time on the weekends to help play and care for your pups! With that in mind, my current lease does not allow me to bring other animals into my home. My philosophy when taking care of other people’s pets is to treat them like I would treat my own. When caring for my own pets, I have learned that positive reinforcement goes a long way, so I always ensure to keep a couple treats in hand for my four legged friends. Since every pet is unique and responds differently to training and care, I strive to treat every pet I care for in a way that works best for them and their owners.
About: Im very honest, hard working person, honest Im doing this because I miss going on walks with my dog I miss my boy Wilson 💙 At the moment I’m not working I am currently looking for a job but in the meantime I’m working on here I’m available probably anytime I would take the dogs out for their potty breaks once the dogs finish up if it’s not a bad day to play outside for a while and while they play, I would clean up after them after they play. Give him some water some food let them play a little bit more and then I would bring them in to the house
About: I have been around pets for many years, the owners have always given great reviews! Not to mention I love being around dogs and cats! I am currently working full time but I am available most weekends. I am also available most days of the week after 4 o’clock. I am very flexible! I have always worked on a strict schedule for feeding, walking, and taking out for potty breaks! I am very flexible and am a fast learner if anyone has any special requests.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats more since I was little. I’ve bonded with family and friends pets very well and helped out in care. Currently I’m working on my new job for the Alaska marine highway and in the process of getting a part time job. Free any day. I have three dogs currently, very well loved. They spend a lot of time being free around the house. Trained very well. They love playing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ketchikan on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ketchikan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Ketchikan 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a 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.
