“Jacob was fantastic. My dog is not always easy to work with due to some resource guarding issues, but Jacob had the patience and kindness to meet his needs. I feel very lucky that he took care of my dog, and I will be seeking his help again in the future.”
“Elizabeth & HL always do a great job with our senior girl. Communication is great and they send lots of photos. It makes us feel safe leaving our girl for awhile.”
About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits. I’ll work with your dog to improve their commands and get their daily zoomies out; your cat will enjoy company and stimulating feline friendly games. I’ll also have their bathroom and medical needs taken care of. I make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work with your schedule to best serve your family! At this time I am not hosting animals in my home. I will do house visits and walks. I prefer to take your pet on routes they are familiar with to start. After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities. Please disclose if your pet has ever been aggressive or experiences severe anxiety behaviors. I want to provide a safe environment for your fur baby and myself by being aware of any sensitivities or triggers. Your pet will receive top care while being set-up for success when spending time with me! Book with me & I’ll help make your life a little less stressful — your pet has a friend in me! I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of your pets in the afternoon or evenings during Monday-Friday. With ample notice, I can even take care of your pet in the mornings Monday-Friday. On weekends, I can take care of your pet at any time! I’ll make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions.

About: I have been cat sitting and dog walking for the past two years for coworkers and family friends- and now I’m on Rover too! I’ve got two golden retrievers of my own who I love dearly as well! I am a student at the University of Vermont studying political science and english! During the summers I come home to Anchorage, Alaska. I love all things outdoors- hiking, running, you name it. I have also been working part time at Middle Way Cafe (in Anchorage) for almost 3 years. Because I have grown up with animals, I feel confident in my ability to care for them. I also volunteer at our local animal shelters and am passionate about finding animals good homes! I value communication and will update you on your pets mood, send pictures, etc. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs, so rest assured your pets are in good hands even if they tend to be nervous when you leave.
“So glad that Tessa could take Alfred in a midday walk while I worked. Gave me peace of mind knowing he was taken care of and wouldn’t have to wait for me if I couldn’t get away from work for a lunch time walk. Thank you so much!!!”
About: Hi there! Life long Alaskan and animal lover. I grew up around dogs and cats my whole life, and love spending time with all animals. I have a bunny of my own as well! Love taking my family dogs out, playing with them, and just spending time with them. I work part time, so my schedule can be pretty flexible with notice. I love to go on daily walks anyways, so definitely would love to bring a pup out with me as well! I will treat your pets as if they are my own because I know how special they are to you! I treat my own pets with lots of love and affection, as well as attention.
“Eric was able to walk Tugboat on short notice. So helpful and kind. I appreciated the help. Eric also was able to get Tugboat to not be interested in pulling. Can't thank Eric enough. Tugboat was always excited to see Eric and knew the time was coming. Can't recommend Eric enough.”
About: Hi! I’m Margot. I'm a writer, military veteran, and have over 15 years pet care experience. I will ensure your pets are safe, well-fed, happy, and comfortable, while following their routines and providing any needed care, including medications. I’ll keep you updated with regular communication and photos so you can relax while you’re away. You can trust me to treat your furry family members as my own! My schedule is flexible depending on your needs. I try to keep my schedule up to date on this app, but I'm more of a Google calendar gal :) we will find a perfect schedule regardless. Please communicate with me about all of your requirements. The more detail I know, the better service I can provide. Some pets require medicine or a specific food, please let me know. If there are any toys they like to play with, I'll be sure to incorporate engaging play-time in my visits.
“Olga did a great job walking my dog, Jenny on short notice. I would use her again without hesitation. She was always right on time, sent lots of photos and also checked to make sure Jenny's water bowl was full.”
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.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for dogs who may be reactive or selective around other animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when your dog requires extra awareness and responsibility. I’m attentive, proactive, and committed to keeping every dog in my care safe by avoiding risky situations and managing walks and interactions thoughtfully. I also grew up in a dog-loving household with four or more dogs at any given time. Our home was the go-to place for family and friends to leave their dogs while traveling or working, and at times we even cared for entire litters of puppies. Because of this, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable providing dependable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work from home on freelance engineering design projects, and my own home improvement projects. This means I have a heaps of availability to pay attention to your pet! I am an active individual that recently moved to Anchorage, I love walking with dogs to explore neighborhoods and get exercise. I also have a yard at my home, which is unfenced, and I look forward to romping around with leashed dogs. Regarding situations where dogs stay at my house, I currently have two young cats which any visiting dogs will have to be okay with. Because my house has two levels, I do have the ability to block the stairway and provide my cats with a sanctuary if the cats get tired of dog games.
About: I love all animals, with proper direction I’m positive I can give adequate care to any and all animals and ensure their safety and health. I work full time with a nonprofit organization downtown that helps unhoused youths. My schedule is Sunday through Thursday from 2:30 pm - 10:30. My days off are Friday and Saturday. I can take one break depending on the how far the location is from my work to give a potty break. In my free time I’m devoted to whatever may come and is needed for any and all pets ❤️ I’ve worked with the state for most of my adult life and always have passed a background check. My resume includes elderly care, hospital healthcare, in home healthcare, and most recently three years as a domestic violence/homeless shelter advocate with a non profit organization in rural Alaska. I’ve had animals my entire life and enjoy the company of all! I have experience with not only cats and dogs but fish, rodents and reptiles as well. I am open and eager to learn and care for all different kinds of animals and am confident in my abilities to do so with adequate information from the pet parents.
“Late tip but better than never! Thanks again! You always come thru. Our tripod needs exercise to keep her weight down so she can walk longer into her life. Thanks again as always! I definitely recommend this walker! My dog loves her. ❤️🥰🙏”
“I booked three hour long walks with Jessica for my dog, Lilo. By the second walk, Lilo recognized Jessica and absolutely loved her! Polite, on time, and great communication.”
“Alejandra took excellent care of my dog Finn while I was on a 2 week long trip. Communication was excellent and I genuinely felt like she enjoyed spending time with Finn. Don’t hesitate to book Alejandra for whatever pet care needs you have - dog walking, house sitting, etc. She is very reliable and professional.”
Midtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
After almost 6 months of service, I just have to leave another review. Tiffany has been an absolute blessing. She goes above and beyond every day to get my Honey out for plenty of exercise and socialization. I don’t think she skipped a single day, even through this entire grueling winter. She is truly dedicated and clearly cares just as much about Honey as I do. She is attentive and keeps me updated on anything abnormal about Honey’s behavior and even her poops. I can rest easy knowing with 100% certainty that Honey is safe and sound no matter how far their adventures take them. She has been here every step of the way as I’ve fought through an onslaught of illnesses, surgeries, chronic pain and even a cancer scare, making sure my baby was well cared for even on days I could barely get out of bed. She’s even helping me get back out there and do more with Honey myself. “Above and beyond” doesn’t even begin to describe how much she has gone out of her way to help us. Tiffany is part of our little family now and I am endlessly grateful to have her in our lives. A truly radiant, beautiful soul.
My dog can be difficult and a bit defensive of his home and people. Jacob got to see my dog Diesel at his worst, but then he turned it around within a day. Not many people have the patience and calmness it requires to handle a dog like mine, so I felt very lucky and fortunate that Jacob was so great. I recommend him to anyone for any animal! He’s terrific.
Rachael did great with our sometimes challenging dogs. The Meet and Greet started a little rough as Rachael had some transportation issues but she communicated well. I was very impressed with her determination to make the Meet and Greet happen, which did the next day. She interacted well with both dogs and one dog quickly took to her. I felt comfortable hiring her to walk the dogs and she was great. She kept me updated as I requested and sent pictures and videos. I plan to have her walk our dogs in the future.
Eric was very professional during the meet/greet and immediately put me at ease about having someone else come walk our dogs when we are not able. He took the dogs for their first walk yesterday and sent lots of photos and communicated very well. I would highly recommend Eric!!!
Callen was a lifesaver last-minute—extremely flexible and quick to respond. Even though our pup can be a bit stubborn about heading out, she handled him with kindness and patience every step of the way. Awesome communication, timely updates, and clear Rover Card with photos. Highly recommend!
