“Madeline and Karen are amazing!! My dog loves their house and their dogs so much! They do a great job at communicating and keeping me updated. Toast comes home tired and happy after playing with the other dogs all day. This is by far the best daycare my dog has ever been to. I am so happy to have found such trustworthy and great people to care for my dog.”



“Sharon and Michael were great with my 10 month old Australian shepherd. She came home worn out which is hard to do with all the energy she has. They quickly accepted my last minute request and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands.”


“Amanda was amazing with our 2 golden retrievers. We were a little nervous because they can get anxious when away from home, but you could tell that they loved Amanda and had lots of fun. She also sent us pictures throughout the day which put their human mom at ease. Thanks so much Amanda!”


“I absolutely love Trey. She was super kind and loved my dog as if she were her own. It was our first time doing doggy sitting and Trey was very transparent about my dog getting a cut on her face. I didn't mind, since dogs are like that, but the fact that she was up front and honest meant a lot to me. I will be using her services continually in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone else who wants their babies to be treated with love and care.”


“Mandy took amazing care of my dog Ophelia. I didn't even have to worry. At the end of the day, Ophi was happy and sleepy. Mandy was very responsive and sent awesome photos of Ophi. I WILL be rebooking with her, and I'm so grateful to have found her!”


About: i had 3 dogs in my life. 2 of the dogs i had. i had since i was born. then i adopted another dog in 2014. wanting to adopted more dogs in the future. i have dogsit before in the past 3 years before i knew about rover. i love and adore dogs. i cant imagine life without one. Dogs are everything to me. Having dogs around get me outside more and walking more. i have trained my 3 dogs. so i know a tiny bit about trainging them. i currently dont have a job. i would make dog sitting a part time job for right now. i have alot of time to care for a dog. i give the pet alot of play time. i give the pet bathroom breaks as much as needed. i walk the pet like an hour or 2. ill feed the pet when he or she needes it. of course ill him or her water. ill give the pet as much exercise as he or she needs. i would have the pet come over to my apartment. im around a place where i can take the dog on a long or short walk. the apartment im at is very pet friendly. I say you would have to bring your pet to me at my apartment.

“Rogue loved his stays at Crystals house for doggy day care. She was very responsive, had great communication, provided us with updates and photos throughout the day. He loved playing with the other dogs. The second day we dropped him off he was running up to Crystal like he had a new best friend. Highly recommend and will be using her as a sitter in the future.”


“Wright has provided daycare for my dog, Joey, and is fantastic with him! He is calm, caring and positive - and it’s obvious that Joey loves being with him. I love getting updates and photos during the day and know that Joey is safe and happy with Wright!”


About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have 3 pups of my own and a variety of exotic animals. I have worked as a dog trainer and volunteer at the vet and rescues. I am very active so long walks are my favorite and I have a soft spot for old animals. I communicate very well. The standards I have for the care of my pets is exceptionally high and I provide that same experience for every pet I take care. I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to do check ins or walks multiple times a day, if needed, and also have weekend availability. I am a big fan of communication(and photos!) but am trustworthy and reliable enough that you can also be out of service and rely on me to take care of things.

“Caroline was absolutely amazing. Even with some hiccups on our end she was extremely sweet and understanding throughout the whole experience. Took amazing care of our boy. Couldn’t recommend her more.”


About: I grew up in a zoo of a home with a mom that made our pets her top priority. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and know the ins and outs of how to keep an animal happy and healthy/safe. I own a small business in town and work around my pups schedule. We go on morning walks, lunch time hikes and even post work walks if needed. I am also capable to giving medication. I own a small business and make my own hours. I typically work Monday-Thursday and my dogs are only left for 3-4 hours at a time. Pets are always welcome to sleep in the bed with me or kenneled depending on what you prefer. I live walking distance from the Klatt dog park if you’re comfortable with me taking your pup there or we can do one on one walks around the neighborhood. Hikes are also offered in the summer time! Dogs are my life and always have been. Their well being, happiness and safety is my top priority! My back yard is fully secure, I drive a 2019 4 runner for safe transport and my home is always free of rope/unsafe toys, poisons, etc. I have personally trained my dogs for duck hunting and obedience and can offer Training assistance if needed(: Dogs are always safely exercised and I believe in positive reinforcement.

About: I’ve been an animal lover all of my life but specifically dogs. I feel they are true angels and as much as I’d love to own 10 of them, I can’t so this is the next best thing! I’m currently a stay-at-home mother of two children and we have our puppy, Nala. I have all the free time to take care of pets and make sure they’re constantly comfortable, loved, and checked on. I do have one extra large dog kennel. If you want to bring your own kennel, that is also totally fine! I have extra dog bowls as well, but again if you want to bring your own, totally fine! I have a safe, fenced in yard. I like to do outside time as much as possible so the dogs can get their energy out and if you have a food schedule, I can follow it!

“I have a intact wolfhound puppy. With all the trouble that entails, Becky handled it beautifully. The request was at the last minute with early I. The morning drop offs on a weekend, she gave him walks, sent me pictures, and he always came home happy and worn out. I would highly recommend Becky to my friends and family”


“Rita was fantastic with my young high-energy Vizsla. Got some great photo and video updates that really helped me feel comfortable about my girl being at doggy daycare. Definitely recommend to others and definitely will use Rita again when I'm back in town.”


“Sarah was amazing with my dog Tali. She treated her as she would her own dog. By the end Tali got to where she didn't want to leave! I cannot recommend Sarah enough.”


About: I started taking care of neighborhood pets starting at a very young age. Mostly dogs and cats but I had some eclectic neighbors growing up and remember finding my young self even caring for llamas at one point. I have cares for a wide variety of dogs from young puppies full of energy to senior doggos who just love lounging and being loved. I don’t have a dog of my own currently but love having them around and love Rover for that reason. Pet care is very important to me and right now I am working from home so my schedule is very open for me to be around pets for most of the day. I live in a condo right down the street from university lake dog park in anchorage and I make sure to always have them leashes up when I leave for walks each day. I have no problem letting your pet have free range to the condo if I am out running errands during the day and make sure to let them out to go potty first thing upon returning home.


About: I've been taking care of the pets, including cats/dogs, for my friends and family. My experience as a pet sitter includes feeding, walking, and playing with pets daily. I've always ensured the pets feel comfortable with their familiar surrounding and follow their routine. Also, provide bathing, grooming, or training for pets when necessary. The care of your pet will be worked into my daily routine. I work for the school district and would be able to check in before and after work, with my weekends free to spend plenty of time with your pet! I have a fenced yard and a dog door, which allows my two friendly dogs to keep your pets busy outside. I can easily crate your dogs if needed.

She will treat your animals like her own.”
