About: My name is Jacob and I have 15 years of experience caring for mine and my family's pets. I also have approximately 4 years of volunteer experience at shelters caring for cats and dogs. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. From tiny pups to large, strong dogs, I'm confident handling them safely and calmly. I've worked with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as leash reactivity, anxiety, fearfulness and high energy. I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on understanding each dog's unique needs. I'm autistic, and I've found that this often allows me to connect especially well with animals. I'm very attentive to body language, routines, and subtle behavior changes, which helps me respond calmly and consistently- particularly with dogs who need a little extra understanding. My goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience. My schedule is pretty flexible to do drop-in care for your pets or walks as needed. I am willing to work with clients so they can get the care they need for their pets. I am willing to do drop-in care at client's homes as needed. I can also take dogs for walks from client's homes as requested by client.

Sinead was excellent, responsive and provided pictures and updates every visit. The cats had plenty of play time and pets and warmed up to her very fast. Know your cats are in caring and thoughtful hands while you are away.

About: I’ve grown up with many dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand their behavior, needs, and how to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy in different situations. In addition to dogs, I’ve also previously cat-sat for friends and neighbors, which has helped me become flexible and attentive to different types of pets and personalities. This experience has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to build trust with both animals and their owners. Overall, I’m reliable, experienced, and truly passionate about making sure every pet feels cared for and at ease. I’m currently a high school student and a soccer player, but I only have three classes this year, which gives me a lot of free time during the day. I’m available before school, after school, and outside of practice to spend quality time with your pets. Because of my schedule, I’m very flexible and able to accommodate a variety of needs, whether that’s regular check-ins, walks, or extended care. I’m committed to making sure your animals get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and care. I also keep the home clean and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for dogs who may be reactive or selective around other animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when your dog requires extra awareness and responsibility. I’m attentive, proactive, and committed to keeping every dog in my care safe by avoiding risky situations and managing walks and interactions thoughtfully. I also grew up in a dog-loving household with four or more dogs at any given time. Our home was the go-to place for family and friends to leave their dogs while traveling or working, and at times we even cared for entire litters of puppies. Because of this, I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable providing dependable, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work from home on freelance engineering design projects, and my own home improvement projects. This means I have a heaps of availability to pay attention to your pet! I am an active individual that recently moved to Anchorage, I love walking with dogs to explore neighborhoods and get exercise. I also have a yard at my home, which is unfenced, and I look forward to romping around with leashed dogs. Regarding situations where dogs stay at my house, I currently have two young cats which any visiting dogs will have to be okay with. Because my house has two levels, I do have the ability to block the stairway and provide my cats with a sanctuary if the cats get tired of dog games.

Reagan was absolutely amazing and perfectly patient with our beloved Pippin. She made our vacation a success sending photos and updates letting us enjoy without worry how our little guy was doing. Reagan went above and beyond and I will forever refer and use her for future care given her availability and 5☆ sitting. Thank you again!

Erica did a great job helping me with my two pups and agreed to help me out on such a short notice while I was away on a last minute camping trip. She sent me pictures of my dogs showing that they were in good hands and they looked happy and healthy when I arrived back home. I would definitely use Erica again in the future!

Katy is fantastic! She stopped by midday to let our dog out for a potty break and even brought in our packages, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time; she kept us updated and made everything feel easy and stress-free. We’ll definitely be using her again!

Brandon is quite literally a lifesaver! We needed a last minute drop-in visit after our sitter couldn’t make it and he responded quickly and was more than accommodating! My anxiety was through the roof worrying about my pups and he came through for us. We are very grateful for Brandon!

Alex did daily stop in visits for our two bunnies while we were out of town and did a great job - very communicative and conscientious. And very willing to do extra things like bring in our mail and put our garbage bin out to the curb. I definitely trust her with my pets and we would definitely will hire her again :)

About: I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable with dogs of all energy levels. I enjoy getting outside for walks and playtime, so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and attention. I’m also very attentive to routines and details. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, puppy potty breaks, or extra care for senior dogs, I make sure your instructions are followed carefully. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, cared for, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m currently full-time, but being salaried I have some flexibility. I’m happy to stop by during lunch times as well as before and after work. I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide regular walks and potty breaks, and give them plenty of attention and companionship. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space while keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment. Every dog is different, so I adjust care based on their personality, energy level, and any special instructions from the owner.

Absolutely 5/5 star pet sitter!! My picky territoral husky/lab trusts her out of everybody! She has watched my pets from 2 weeks to 3 day trips... 100% more reliable that I can explain (: I receive so many pics of each pet and a thorough detailed day of each pet so I can monitor my pets health while I'm away. Thank you for my happy & healthy pets while I'm out of town! (: <3

This was my first experience with Rover and I worry Alex has spoiled me. She was so responsive and kind from the first messages. She scheduled a meet and greet with the cats and it was great to meet her before handing over the house keys. Our finicky cats warmed up quickly to her which put my mind at ease while I was away. She gave us in depth Rover report cards with lots of pictures and info. I will definitely book Alex again in the future for cat sitting needs. I only hope she’ll have availability in her schedule since she’s so booked and busy!

Jessica was beyond perfect! She watched our two bonded rabbits. Jessica let the bunnies set their own pace and by the end they had warmed up to her. Which is saying a lot for our rabbits. Jessica also was great with communication and keeping us informed. I am already booking her to come again.

Ellen has saved me multiple times this summer when I needed to change trip dates. She was able to step in to do two drop ins a day for my old dog that needs lots of interaction and potty breaks. Ellen is very much appreciated and I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone reliable and that does great updates.

Callen was wonderful. She sent lots of photos and gave regular updates on my cats. One of my cats is having some kind of medical issue that is manifesting in difficult behavior change, but Callen handled the unique situation easily. I would certainly book her again.
