“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”

“Great host, super easy to work with, very friendly dog of their own. Our dog is home and happy and tired probably wishing she was still there playing with Charlie and getting great walks.”

“Huw and Jolynne took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was out of town. It was clear that they love dogs and want to make them feel at home. They were super responsive and provided updates throughout the week. Would highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies.”

“Sarah was amazing! She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Iggy absolutely loved his little vacation! He and her pup, Bunny, got along so well. They were adorable. I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again!”

“Olga and her kids took such great care of Zeke. I got photo updates every day and she even bought him toys. Olga was super accommodating with drop off and pick up. We even had a meet and greet prior to the first day so Zeke would have at least met her before spending time with her. I highly recommend Olga as a dog sitter.”

“Ralph was just so kind and caring towards our Roo girl. I was very sad leaving her for the first time with a new person since we moved to AK and knowing she was in such good hands immediately healed the worry! He was very attentive to her and her individual personality, and it was immensely evident how much TLC she was receiving day to day! Ralph was fabulous with daily communication and photos, highly recommend and would 11/10 take Roo back to stay with Ralph!!”

“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”

“Julie was great.! We were delayed over the holidays and she was very helpful in accommodating our change. Our Maizey was very well taken care of and seemed relaxed & happy upon picking her up.”

“Jessica took great care of my dog! She sent pictures all day every day. Jessica walked her multiple times a day. My sweet baby came back happy! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“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!”


“Sharon ans Michael were terrific. They accommodated Mojito last minute and sent some amazing pictures of his stay. He was well taken care of a got lots of fun excercise. I would happily leave him with them again.”

“I highly recommend Crystal to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy and caring. My Siberian husky, X, is very energetic and has a mind of his own off leash, so leaving him with anyone is always a little nerve-wracking for me. Crystal was incredibly attentive and patient with him, taking the time to ensure he could play safely with other dogs while keeping a close eye on him. She was flexible when I needed to extend his stay due to an unforeseen family situation, which eased a lot of my anxiety. What impressed me most was how well Crystal communicated — she asked thoughtful questions to understand X’s needs and kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos. Knowing she cared so much made leaving my “escape artist” baby much easier. I feel extremely confident recommending Crystal to anyone who wants their dog to be loved and well cared for.”

“Kimberly went above and beyond with my dog and even took her on a hike where she could run off leash with other dogs. I appreciated the communication and updates while I was gone. My dog is a usually more on the timid side but I could tell immediately that she was at ease in Kimberly's home and it was quite apparent in the photos I was sent that she had a great stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my girl!”

“SeanBob and Anke treated our girl with lots of love. She got plenty of exercise and socialization. He was communicative and shared photos often. Will be using SeanBob’s again!”

“If I could put 10 stars I would! I have two large very lovable high energy dogs and her house is set up perfectly!! My fiancé and I left town for our bachelor/bachelorette parties and my flight got delayed she was able to watch the dogs after our agreed pick up time. Also she is a great photographer and sends nice updates as to what they are doing. Going to be my go to rover from now on would recommend to anyone!!”

“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!”

“Mandy was awesome with our English lab! Before our trip she let us have a meet n greet to make sure our animals were all friendly. Definitely went above and beyond with everything. Hope Mandy will want to watch Lucy again in the future! 👍👍”

“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with other people, let alone strangers. We went to do a meet and greet beforehand and didn’t know quite what to expect. Ryan and Chelsea were great with both of them from the start. Ryan answered all of our questions and was very open. While we were away he kept us updated with how they were doing and sent us photos and videos often. That made it so much easier to enjoy our trip and not have to worry how they were doing. When we went to pick them up, our dogs were excited to see us, but made sure to get last pets from Ryan. We know they are in good hands with Ryan and Chelsea. We will definitely be coming back to them for our trips and we highly recommend! Thank you so much!”

Sand Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are extremely happy Mereidi’s dog care service. She cared for our very active dog during a windy and very cold time. She provided above and beyond efforts to get outside safely, and even made our dog a little jacket to protect from the wind. Mereidi sent daily pictures and updates, which were fun and reassuring. We highly recommend Mereidi!

Kimberly went above and beyond with my dog and even took her on a hike where she could run off leash with other dogs. I appreciated the communication and updates while I was gone. My dog is a usually more on the timid side but I could tell immediately that she was at ease in Kimberly's home and it was quite apparent in the photos I was sent that she had a great stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my girl!
