Justin was an amazing match for our pup and took wonderful care of him. We greatly appreciated his flexibility, responsiveness, and the updates he shared while we were away. We would absolutely recommend booking with him and hope to use his services again in the future. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was so well cared for.

Madelyn is such a great find! My dog George loved her, her house, her family! And he looked so good, healthy and happy after his stay with her. She was perfect in communications — quick, responsive and informative. We loved the pictures she sent. I can depend on her care 100% and look forward to working with her again.

Nichole and her husband were such amazing sitters for our kitten, Pluto. They were flexible with us adding a few days last minute, and sent pics of our boy. We will be booking with her again!

Tanner was fantastic with our dog, Kubo. We were gone for almost two weeks, and Tanner sent regular updates and photos. He has a very large yard for dogs to play in, and he took Kubo on a fun hike. I definitely would have Tanner watch our Kubo again.

Nari was happy and healthy with Paula. She kept me informed as he was adjusting to being with her. Nari comes to work with me every day and hangs out in the car when I'm at work. Paula did the same with him to keep it as normal for him as possible. Will definitely re-book with her in the future.

Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!

Jessica’s home was warm and inviting and extremely dog friendly. My 8 month old doesn’t have manners yet and is a bit rambunctious but Jessica was so patient with her. Sent me pics and videos of her days. If my dog Tilly could speak the day after I picked her up I just know she would have said I want to go over to my friends house! Thank you so much for loving her during my absence. You are my person I will always call you first! Thank you again!

They were amazing with Loki. He did great with their family and their other pets. They loved him just as much as we love him if I ever needed another dog sitter I’ll definitely go back to them and I will definitely recommend them to anybody else that needs one.

Jennifer was awesome with my spoiled boy. She didn’t hesitate to include him as part of her family and spent a great deal of time making sure everything was just as I asked. I’m probably a helicopter dog mom, but Jennifer was more than willing to comply with all my quirky boy’s lifestyle. Would def recommend if you have a kiddo requiring extra attention or if you need piece of mind while your baby is in her care.

About: ‼️I can only provide services in the Palmer/Wasilla area! My whole life my job at home was to care for the cats and dogs, and it was my favorite thing in the world. Now I have moved out, and I just want to continue caring for pets by providing services on Rover which is so perfect for me! I'm currently a cleaner for Janco Cleaning Company, 3-4 hours per night, and I provide services on Rover on the side with my whole day until dinner time reserved for pets! I live in an apartment with 2 adorable kitties, I am only able to house small dogs and cats in my apartment, as much as I love big dogs I have to control myself!

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals my entire life. From dogs, cats, birds, fish and turtles to livestock such as pigs, chickens and ducks. I have raised many dogs from puppies to seniors and am comfortable administering medications and providing post-surgical care. I am currently available for drop-ins, walks, house sitting, boarding and day care. I work full time Mon-Thurs and am able to do mid day potty breaks. I will do my best to accommodate you and your pets needs. I am a responsible care giver and know how hard it can be to leave your pets and home, and I can assure you they are safe with me. I prioritize safety and communication to ensure animals and owners are well taken care of. I can accommodate longer visits if needed, depending on you and your pets' needs.

About: ’m a dog lover at heart, with 10+ years of professional dog sitting and walking experience. We enjoy daily walks in beautiful Alaska nature, and my doggie guests truly get to have a “HAY DAY” here! 💕🗻☀️🐶😄 Our home is cozy, calm, and full of love — with comfy couches, plenty of doggie toys, and lots of gentle attention. My sweet doggie Buddy and the friendly Chihuahua in our household both enjoy the company of well-mannered, friendly furry guests who like to play, relax, or simply be part of the family during the day. 🐾 Our Guest Vibe (Important Please Read) Because we also have a Chihuahua here, and to keep everyone safe, relaxed, and happy, we now welcome: • Small to medium-sized dogs, or • Friendly, gentle “neighborhood dog” types (such as Labs, Retrievers, Poodles, mixes with similar temperaments) For everyone’s comfort, we are not a fit for dogs with: • Chasing instincts toward small dogs • Territorial, food-guarding, or toy-protective behaviors • High prey drive or rough play styles This helps us maintain a peaceful, loving, all-friends-together environment where every dog feels safe and cared for. 🏡 A True VIP Experience This is a kennel-free, home-away-from-home vacation or day-stay experience — not a high-volume boarding setup. I intentionally keep a small, compatible group so each dog receives calm attention, affection, and a family atmosphere. If your dog loves: ✨ Cozy home vibes ✨ Daily nature walks ✨ Friendly companions ✨ Gentle care and personal attention …then this may be their perfect little vacation retreat 💖🐾 I’m always happy to chat beforehand to make sure it’s a wonderful match for everyone — dogs and humans alike! I work from home, and take just a few doggies at a time (doggie sitting is my happy side gig) - so they get to have a home away from home experience that’s not overwhelming, but cozy, full of personal attention, love, and fun. Your fur baby will have exclusive personal company and care here: it’s a safe, good energy, and very dog friendly environment. See the main description 🐶💕

Elizabeth boarded our 12 week old Blue Heeler for two nights. She was easy to communicate with, sent pictures during his stay, and even dropped him off (which was originally not park of the arrangement). He was returned happy and well cared for.

Madelyn was very flexible for our last minute needs! She seemed very comfortable with different dog personalities and having a wide age range together. Hazel seemed to have a great time and I would definitely use Madelyn again!

Astrid went above and beyond for our three pups, taking extra care to accommodate their special feeding needs, keeping them active, and ensuring they felt safe, loved, and comfortable the entire time. She was incredibly friendly, reliable, and had excellent communication—always quick to respond and consistently keeping us updated with the sweetest photos and videos. We could truly relax knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands. I couldn’t recommend Astrid more highly to anyone looking for a warm, trustworthy, and attentive sitter who treats your pets like her own!
