“We had a great experience with our Kiara! Our dog is shy and can take a little time to warm up to new people, so finding someone patient and understanding was really important to us. They were kind, gentle, and respectful of our dog’s comfort level, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the care and attention they provided and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, especially for a timid pup!”
“Jessica was kind and welcoming for my nervous doggo! She took great care of him and helped him settle in quickly. She also sent me sweet pics of him every day. Will definitely be returning to Jessica for future pet sitting needs.”
“Ashley did a great job with our dogs! They were well taken care of and even went on walks. It felt good to go on vacation and not be worried.If someone was taking care of them correctly. I would definitely use her again.”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“Amanda is awesome! She sent us daily pics of our furry babies just to show us that they were fine and having fun which gave us a sense of security. Amanda has the perfect setup in her home to allow the pups to have their own space and keep them safe. This is our second time leaving our pups with Amanda and we are so happy to have found her!”

“Joseph was taking care of Nikita when his hip injury unexpectedly worsened and did such a wonderful and caring job of both taking care of Nikita and communicating with me. He is te perfect sitter you would want for your pet, truly.”
“Denice was so kind and takes her role as a pet sitter very seriously. She knows animals and once I saw her set up I knew animals are her passion in life. Not a single thing will be missed with Denice watching your furbaby!”
“I’m so happy that we found Lisa and Joe to mind our two pups while we were in Anchorage. They took great care of Ruby and Chance, made them comfortable in their home, and provided updates. Lisa is very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!”

About: Hi, I’m Zena! I’m based in Anchorage and grew up around dogs and cats. I’ve been caring for pets through Rover for over eight months, providing walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m now offering boarding too! Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of my day. Whether your pet loves an outdoor adventure, playtime, or quiet company, I enjoy getting to know their personality and helping them feel comfortable with me. I also have a bunny of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. My goal is to give your pet attentive, loving care and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work part time and can often accommodate different schedules with advance notice. Before booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s routine, the care they need, and how my availability fits their usual schedule. I want your pet to feel comfortable and secure in my care. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and daily routines, and take time to learn their preferences and boundaries. Before a stay, we’ll discuss any special needs, behavior concerns, and your pet’s comfort with being left alone. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can make sure it’s a good fit. You can expect photo updates and communication about how your pet is doing.
“Leslie cared for our dog in her home. She sent photo and text updates to us throughout our dogs stay with her. Our dog came back happy and well taken care of. Leslie was very flexible with our meet and greet and with our pick up and drop off times which was nice.”
“Erica picked up Kylo for boarding overnight when I went out of town and even took him on some walks with other pups. All of his needs were taken care of and I didn’t have to worry.”
“Jennifer was amazing with my skittish pup. She has two sweet dogs, one of which is a big, lovable German Shepard who at first made my little pup nervous, but with Jennifer's oversight the two were soon getting along no problem. I came home to a happy dog!”
“Heather was great with our dog. He stayed with her for one week and seemed very happy and content. He did much better with her than when we had boarded him for two days in a kennel. Heather sent us photos of our dog every day during our trip. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and will do it again.”
“Jaymie is wonderful! I have an older dog and she made sure to take care of her and all of her needs. She is incredibly thoughtful and goes out of her way to ensure she is providing the best care. My schedule was a bit wacky and she was very flexible with me. Additionally, she is excellent with communication. Whenever I’m out of town she will be the first person I reach out to for taking care of my pup.”
“Alex did an amazing job working with myself and my dog Bishop. She was incredibly patient and helpful when our original plan kept changing due to some animal transport delays. Highly recommend Alex if you want someone who goes above and beyond for you and your pet.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Point MacKenzie can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Point MacKenzie home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Point MacKenzie.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Point MacKenzie. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Point MacKenzie sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
