“Clayton was an amazing sitter, he was able to housesit for us for the majority of 4 full days and send us updates on our pets throughout, I was worried about my dog not eating and thankfully that wasn't an issue at all with the attention and care he was given.”
About: My pet care experience is extensive, having completed over 30, 5-star dog/cat sits, years of caring for and raising dogs and cats, as well as experience with Positive Reinforcement training and Clicker Dog Training. I have experience with administering many types of medication including pills and liquid form, and have cared for dogs with seizure issues, heart problems and joint issues. I have experience with lots of breeds, large, small and everything in-between! My experience covers young active dogs as well as elderly pups who need a slower pace, and I believe ever dog needs a "sniff" walk once in a while! My animal care experience spans my entire life! I have had the privilege of owning many rescue animals over the years including a German shepherd, border collie mix, chihuahua, miniature Maltese poodle mix, and three different cats! I've had dogs since I was 3 years old, got my very first (and long asked for) cat at 4 years old, experienced raising my first litter of kittens at 5 years old and got my very own miniature white Maltese poodle mix at 7! I've also done weekend dog watching and am always the first call for animal care when friends are traveling. I'm a college student, currently studying remotely to enable the amazing opportunity of pet care, traveling and pet sitting! My schedule is fairly flexible, so your furry friend will not be alone for long stretches of time! A little bit about me: I'm a trained ballet dancer, musician and writer, spending any free time I have taking classes, keeping up a healthy lifestyle and working on my first novel! I love spending time reading, walking the furry friend I'm staying with and finding new study cafe's. I am currently available for: -Dog walking services -Drop-in visits -In-home pet sitting -Long term in-home pet sitting -Elderly Dog walking care Specialized pet care I look forward to chatting about any further questions!
“Emylee took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. She was easy to communicate with when plans changed last minute. Will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting needs!”
About: I have professional experience working at a dog resort in Arizona, where I learned the importance of structured care, behavior awareness, and creating a safe and positive environment for dogs of all temperaments. After moving to Alaska, I started sitting and have been providing pet care for the Kenai Peninsula for 3 years. Over time, I have built a strong group of regulars for our doggy daycare, which has been really rewarding and speaks to the trust our clients place in us. I focus on making sure each dog feels comfortable, active, and cared for just like they are at home. During their stay, dogs get plenty of outdoor time and exercise throughout the day (9 AM–10 PM). I also work on simple daily training and reinforcement with the dogs in my care to help improve behavior and manners. Communication is also a big priority for me. I provide regular updates, which include photos and videos, so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they’re away. I make sure clients are always informed with fast and clear communication throughout the stay. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own. I pay attention to their individual needs, and I want both pets and owners to feel completely at ease. If a client isn’t happy, I’m not happy! It's really as simple as that. I am available for pet care daily from 9 AM to 10 PM, including weekends and holidays. This is a full-time commitment, and I maintain a consistent, reliable schedule year-round so owners can depend on me whenever they need care. I operate every day of the week and prioritize keeping dogs active, engaged, and comfortable throughout their stay. Our goal is to make sure each dog has attention and plenty of time outside during the day. I offer both doggy daycare and boarding, providing flexible care options based on each dog’s needs and each owner’s preference. Dogs are welcome in my home environment and also have access to multiple spaces depending on what best suits each dog’s comfort level, routine, and behavior. This allows me to adjust care on an individual basis rather than a 'one-size-fits-all' setup. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely socialize, play, and stay active throughout the day under supervision. For dogs that prefer quieter environments, I am able to separate them into other areas to ensure they feel more secure and stress-free. Cleanliness is a top priority in all of my spaces. I maintain a consistently clean and sanitary environment to ensure the health and safety of every dog in my care. I also focus heavily on socialization, positive interaction, and routine. Dogs are introduced and grouped appropriately based on temperament, energy level, and owner preferences. If requested, I also provide individual walks to ensure dogs get exercise and stimulation. I closely follow each owner’s instructions and preferences to make sure every dog is cared for exactly how they need to be. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home while receiving personalized care.
About: I've had many pets growing up and even now. I've mostly taken care of cats and dogs. I've had my dog Mochi for 8 years now and have been caring for her since she was a puppy. I am not currently working so I have plenty of time for furry friends! I am available for outdoor activities, playing inside, or just relaxing with your lovely pets. My goal is for you and your fluffy companion to be happy and comfortable. I have my own dog, Mochi, she will not be joining in on the fun unfortunately. I will treat every pet in my care as my own. I understand you may have a schedule set in place and I will follow as needed. Busy or relaxed I am flexible. I am here to work with you to make a game plan for the day according to your preferences.
About: Hi, I’m Bri! I’m based in Kenai and I sometimes travel to Anchorage. I've always had a deep love for animals. I offer in-home pet/house sitting, overnight stays, walks, and drop-in visits as my schedule allows. Cats hold a special place in my heart (I’m a proud mom to 4!) I have hands-on experience caring for cats at every stage of life, from energetic kittens to sweet seniors with medical needs. I'm experienced with following special diets and instructions, light grooming, and giving plenty of love and attention according to their boundaries. I also grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, so whether you have a tiny pup or a gentle giant, I’m comfortable and at ease. From high-energy dogs who need walks and active playtime to cats who prefer quiet routine, I treat every animal like family. Plus my background in professional house cleaning means I’m extra mindful of your space. You can count on me to keep your home and personal belongings clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. I’ll gladly keep you posted with cute pics and updates so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. Your pets’ comfort is my top priority, and I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! My daily schedule is currently flexible in the mornings. I just ask for at least a few days notice so I can be best prepared! I care for your pets in their own familiar environment to minimize stress and keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all your instructions. Feeding schedules, medication, special diets, playtime, and bedtime routines. Safety is non-negotiable: I secure doors and windows, ensure pets can’t escape, and monitor for any hazards. For overnight stays, I sleep at your home so your pets have constant companionship and immediate care if needed. I'm happy to send daily photo and text updates so you can see exactly how your pets are doing.

I have fostered over a hundred kittens and 30 puppies. My daughter is a vet tech and our house was full of all types of animals that nurtured her passion for animal care. My schedule is flexible and caring for pet is my first priority. I am always eager to meet new fur babies to care for. I’m attentive and have a keen attention to detail. Your pets will be safe and lovingly cared for when you choose to put your trust in me. I prefer to go to the pets home for care so they can be in their own surroundings. I have been doing this service for friends and family for years. I offer walks, drop-ins, and even overnight companionship. I have experienced with the smallest of critters to the largest.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Soldotna on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Soldotna walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Soldotna maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Soldotna choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
