“Elizabeth went above and beyond for my dogs. Before I booked her to watch my three dogs she came over to the house to meet them. My dogs can be jumpy and needy and she handled them easily. I booked her for one week and I couldn’t have picked a better dog sitter. On my return home, My flight home got cancelled last minute and Elizabeth was so helpful and responsive. She went back to my house at like midnight to go stay with my dogs for an extra night. She made my flight cancellation so much less stressful knowing I could count on her.”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to provide structured, knowledgeable care rooted in a professional healthcare background and genuine passion. I have spent my life raising and caring for animals, giving me a deep understanding of what pets need to feel safe and loved. I have extensive experience training young puppies on essential obedience and potty training, as well as managing the delicate needs of senior dogs. I know how to carefully balance senior exercise routines to prevent pain and support their longevity. Additionally, as a cat parent of two, I understand feline body language and how to design an environment with proper scratch and play outlets to satisfy their natural instincts. From meticulous coat brushing to seamlessly cleaning up accidents, I am entirely comfortable with the full reality of pet care. I treat every pet in my care with the unconditional dedication they deserve. I am currently working part time in the evenings, so early mornings and afternoons are when I have the most availability. Having 3 days off every week provides me with extra time to spend with your pets as needed. Building trust means keeping a pet's environment safe, predictable, and stress-free. In your home, I strictly adhere to the layout and boundaries your pets are already used to. I carefully manage household safety by making sure harmful items are well out of reach, checking that doors lock securely behind me, and keeping outdoor walks highly controlled and focused on safety. I believe clear communication is key to trust, so I provide detailed updates and photos after my visits. I am entirely comfortable keeping up with house rules, maintaining strict sanitation, and providing a reliable, loving presence so your pets can thrive right where they are most comfortable.
“Corey was wonderful. He vacuumed, cleaned up and the dogs were well cared for. We got snow while out of town and he even shoveled. We would happily have him dog sit again.”
“Bradley did a fantastic job house and petting sitting my 2 dogs and 5 chickens. He was a good communicator and followed instructions perfectly. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Kate was friendly, easy going. We have always used close family friends & neighbors & were a bit nervous about trying an online service. Kate was wonderful! I felt like i left dog & home in safe hands. Returned home to a happy dog! Thanks Kate & Rover”
About: hi everyone!! my name is Kristina, a transplant from Bellingham, WA and it is so lovely to meet you! I have been connecting and caring for animals since a young child. From starting a dog sitting business as an 11 yr old (short lived but to volunteering at local shelters and assisting in the vet clinic, I have had the privilege of learning from and caring for our furry friends for a lifetime. My partner and I will be relocating to Anchorage and looking to sit together. When I’m not in search of the next furry friend to meet, I am typically out on the land climbing, laying on the grass, or dancing in the rain. I work in Youth Development and dream of bridging my love of animals, with therapeutic methods someday! I will be located in the Anchorage area for the whole month of October! I will be relocating with my partner and looking to sit together. My weekly schedule is incredibly open for all pet needs. Mornings, and afternoons on weekdays typically work best as well as weekend house sitting needs! Looking forward to connecting with you more :) As a cat momma myself, I understand how difficult it can be entrusting others for the care of our precious animals. As much as I value the connection I build with your animals, I want to connect and build trust with you as well! I believe every pet deserves care and love that is met at their speed. I value creating a genuine connection with your animal and commit to always working to ‘tune in’ with them. I meet them right where they are with lots of patience, gentle encouragement, and love. My background as a vet assistant and shelter volunteer has given me a deep understanding of animal body language, stress signals, and medical needs. I feel confident in reading what a pet is telling me and make sure they feel totally secure. Because I want pets to feel as happy and relaxed as possible, I currently focus exclusively on house sitting!
About: Growing up, I was surrounded by animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to small pets and farm animals. Caring for them has always been a part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Although I don’t currently have pets of my own because they live in Florida with my family, I miss being around them every day. That’s one of the reasons I’m excited to help care for pets in my community. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. This strikes a balance between being personal, professional, and reassuring—exactly what most pet owners look for when deciding who to trust with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or weekend help, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I’ll provide patient, reliable care tailored to their needs.

Tylin was wonderful with our dog, who can be very needy and quiet the handful. She was so kind and understanding with our dogs special needs. Tylin set pictures and updates regularly so I always knew what was going on. I would definitely use her services again in the future.

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 Tanaina 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 Tanaina 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tanaina 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
