“Sarah is an amazing dog walker!! She agreed to do 4 days of walks just a day before. We met up and Sarah asked great questions, which really showed me her solid knowledge of pet care. She was always on time and gave descriptive post walk summaries with photos. She even broke her toe half way through the week but continued to finish up the walks for the week. Would recommend!”
“Laura was very wonderful to work with! Easy to communicate with, flexible, always prompt and great with my girl Lola!!! Book with her please 🫶🏽”
“Holly has been wonderful with my Bear! He loves her and the walks she’s been taking him on. I was in a pinch and needed her last minute and she didn’t even hesitate! I’ve already booked her for future walks!”
“Alex is great with my dog Bo and I suspect, all dogs. Her walks with him are also positive reinforcement sessions that build his confidence as well as exercise him. She leaves detailed reports of how he did and what they did every time. I feel like she genuinely cares about my dog and takes great care of him while I'm away.”
“Madeline and Karen are incredible! They are responsive and reliable and even walked my pup for longer than what I paid for. I will never hesitate to book them!”
“I want to give Callen 1 star just because I don’t want to share her! She is so kind and loved on my dogs as if they were hers. Finding her was a huge relief and after meeting with her ahead of the first walk, I was confident that my dogs were in great hands!”
“Brigitte is super sweet and takes great care of our pup. She was very patient with him and sends lots of great pics of our boy having fun on his walks. Thanks!”
About: I am flexible and accommodating. Our family owns a 3-year-old golden doodle and I am often helping friends and neighbors with their pets. I am accustomed to small pets and large pets. I have experience taking care of older dogs with mobility challenges, dietary restrictions and administering medication. I am an active outdoor person and love to take dogs on walks, runs and hikes. I am willing to even care for farm animals. I am a homeschooling mom, therefore it is very easy for me to be flexible and accommodate variety of schedules. Since I already own a dog, my lifestyle already accommodates pet care. I am currently mostly looking to care for pets at their own home. I follow the owners directions/instructions which ensures that their pets are cared for in safe and accustomed manner.
About: I've been watching my own personal pets as well as other peoples since I was a young child. I trained my dog, a half lab/half Weimeraner to retrieve at a pretty high level. I had a three legged cat as well. I've been living with dogs my entire life and cats for the last eight years I work remotely and would prefer to house sit in a place where I can also do my work. Your pet would have someone around the majority of the time and I can take care of other business. According to the conditions and the pets stated needs. I love walking dogs and retrieving with them and it is always nice giving cats catnip if they like catnip.
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets for about 30 years. I have had dogs & cats my whole life and regard them as our fur babies; giving them the love, respect and care I would for any of my own children and others. Please call on me if you want someone to walk your pet, provide routine medicine, or drop in while working long days to give them the loving they need. We currently have 6 pets of our own to include 3 cats (Mishka, Cookie & Zeke) as well as 3 dogs (Jolene, Jack & Muffin). I am available most days 9am-2pm & 7pm-12am to include most weekends Friday 6pm - Sunday 11pm. If there is an emergency, I also have my phone beside me and am flexible to your needs. While I cannot offer i my own home for pet care, I am flexible in coming to your location. I am used to crate training, walking, feeding pets and keeping them on a regular routine that is mapped out to you and their needs.

“Jennifer is so attentive to details and has great communication! She has come to walk our dog briar and let her out to use the restroom and sends me the cutest rover cards of briar! She is so sweet and we will keep coming back to her!”
About: Hi! I’m William, I go by my middle name, Wright, or Will. As a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for animals, I provide attentive, personalized care in a calm, quiet neighborhood. I work from home, which allows me to give your pet walks, frequent outdoor time in our spacious backyard, and lots of attention throughout the day. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and those of friends and family. I also volunteered at the Adopt-A-Cat shelter in Anchorage weekly from 2021-2024. I treat every animal like one of my own, and your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, as I work from home Monday-Friday. I can guarantee your dog will get a walk through the neighborhood, and my spacious backyard allows for frequent outdoor playtime. You can be sure your pet will get the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet side of town and I will provide constant supervision. As a caregiver, I value clear communication, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing and get updates at your convenience.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years and started getting paid for dog, cat, and bunny sitting 7 years ago. I have been a pet parent for as long as I’ve been alive and I love making fur babies as happy as possible. Especially when they miss their fur parent(s). I currently work full-time with three days off from Tuesday through Thursday. I work late shifts from 1:30-10:30pm Friday through Monday with the flexibility to go home whenever it is convenient for me. I love 5 minutes away from work making it easy for me to check in on your fur baby. At my home, your fur baby will have a bed, toys, food (including home cooked if requested) frequent visits to parks and walks. At your home, I will follow instructions on what is available to your fur baby and when.
“Stefanie was absolutely amazing with our two mutts. One of them is more mellow and the other is a very feisty young puppy, so it can be interesting walking them both. She quickly picked up on their different temperaments and approached them accordingly. She texted adorable updates and pictures for each walk. She was also so considerate she even offered to clean up the floor a bit since the walks were very muddy. Not only is she extremely reliable, she went above and beyond offering to help since we had a water leak but were out of state. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Outstanding communication and great pictures from Pippa's walks. We will absolutely work with Gabi again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, including my Bernese Mountain dog, Noah. I have volunteered at pet shelter and have started fundraisers for animals in need. I am currently trying saving for college— I will be able to watch and play your dogs or cats anytime during the weekdays as needed, Watching your animals and caring for their safety is one of my main priorities. I am openly adjustable for any specific animal needs or requirements.
“Heather is super reliable and always willing to help me out with Rudy, even last minute. Will definitely use her again to walk my pup in the future! :)”
“Thank you Alexa for being so flexible with my last minute request and your great communication!”
“Izzy was very sweet, prompt and communicative with pics and messages - one of my pups was a sad baby and wouldn’t come out of hiding to go walk (not Izzy’s fault at all!) but the other pup was thrilled to be out and about with her. Will book with her again!”

Ieva B.
“Ieva was a fantastic care giver for our elderly dog! Finn, a wire hair, can be rambunctious and mischievous- and Ieva was attentive and patient with her. Ensuring she not only had a safe place, but also got the exercise and oversight she needed! Would highly recommend!”
William M.
“William was so attentive to detail around caring for our dogs, watering the plants, and generally keeping our house in order. William was flexible about the days of our trip when I asked if we could adjust them a bit. He kept us informed about the dogs while we were away, and the house was perfectly neat when we returned, and the dogs were content. I highly recommend William to take care of your animals and home!”

William F.
“I've known William for well over a decade, and in that time watched him care for a feisty little dog named Kilo, grow up with a childhood dog & cat, take care of a second dog (in addition to Kilo) and hedgehog for several years. Anyone who knows him knows he has an unusual large volume of pet experience, and has always responded to medical issues instantly! Honestly, maybe he should take care of me next. He's overflowing with love to give, and as someone who has lived with him, I can say with certainty he doesn't put off taking dogs for a walk because he's too tired, and always picks up dog poop. Sad how many dog owners can't say the same! William is an example pet caretaker, and to me it's obvious he will regularly exceed owners' expectations of him!”
Adelmi Y.
“I can't say enough good things about Adelmi as a dog sitter. She has been absolutely amazing with my Yorkie, Miloh. From the very first time they met, I could see how comfortable and happy he was around her. Adelmi has a natural way with dogs—gentle, caring, and very attentive to their needs. What I appreciate most is how responsible and communicative she is. I always get regular updates, cute photos, and little notes about how Miloh is doing, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. She genuinely treats him like her own, making sure he gets enough playtime, snuggles, and all the attention he craves. Miloh can be a bit particular, but Adelmi is patient and intuitive she knows how to handle his quirks and routines with care. It’s such a relief to know he’s in safe, loving hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your pup, Adelmi is truly the best!”
