Sage has a great first day!! Sharon was great at getting her use to being around other dogs and socializing! They are a blessing to know Sage is such great care. I also love how they wonderful flexible pick up and drop off times. I also enjoy that it is not a overwhelming amount of dogs at their home. I’m looking forward to using them consistently for my little Sage!

Trey did a wonderful job caring for my pup. I felt lucky to have found someone to watch my dog who is happens to be an excellent trainer! She is patient, skilled and so kind! She walked me through her training series with my dog each step of the way.

Sophie seems to love hanging out with Tessa and her pooches and always comes home tired. It’s such a peace of mind to have a safe and fun family that Sophie spend time with.

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 do live in an apartment in the 3rd floor on the top. If the dog needs it I can carry him/her up and down the stairs no issue at all. Make sure to take your time to read and make sure your 100% sure to want to book with me before you click book. 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. The dog must have a leash for me to watch them 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.

About: Im from Ketchikan AK but I live in Anchorage AK. I do have a fenced backyard where they can roam and play. I love playing with dogs and hanging out with the cats! I’ll always treat your buddy as if their my buddy! I'm currently in between jobs I mostly stay at home all day drawing or working on art. I mostly just do side gigs like this and I don't get that many so I have a lot of free time. If there's other dogs I let them play but if it's just use I usually always keep them around me and play with them if they have the energy and lay down and chill with them if there tired. I take em out for potty breaks/walks every 1-2 hours and feed them twice a day.

Alex is great! I can tell my dog enjoys her time there because she was a little TOO excited on the second day. Alex takes lots of great pics and pays attention to my dog's behavior throughout the day. It's also nice that she provides a walk even though there's plenty of space to run around in her yard. Thank you!

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 taken care of dogs for about 10 years, in most recent years two of my own:) My dogs need more canine friends and I think are a little sick of just playing with each other! I work 3 days a week as a RN. My partner, Tyler, works from home, so someone will always be available to spend time with your pup. I have a big fenced yard and two wonderfully playful and active dogs who can’t wait to have new friends. We have a doggie door so even if someone steps out of the house for a period of time the dogs will always have access to outside. We usually go on a walk/hike/ski everyday either early morning or evening or both!

Allison was an amazing sitter for my 4 mo old puppy! I could tell HRALI was having a great time at her home, with lots of attention & playtime. I also was grateful that he got to interact with cats & other dogs. Allison was also easy to communicate with, sent lots of cute photos, and picked up & dropped off every day. She was punctual, but also very flexible. HRALI definitely loved spending time with Allison & her family. I would definitely have her care for my HRALI again, and I highly recommend her, especially if you have an active pup!!

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.

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

About: I've taken care of lots of pets since I was young, but more seriously over the last 7 or so years. I love animals and would be happy to lend a hand since I am not currently able to have my own pet! Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions or discuss availability! Thanks. I am currently not working for a few weeks in between seasonal jobs so I have a really flexible schedule and can make it work! I have a fenced yard and two very easy going roommates (no other pets). I am happy to have a well-trained pet come and stay.

About: Your pup will be treated like family! I have always been an animal lover and have treated all animals with kindness and compassion. I grew up with dogs (and a variety of other pets) and understand the commitment involved in taking good care of your beloved pet. I love watching Cesar Milan and know that rules, boundaries and limitations are also a key part of making a dog feel at ease. That being said, I'm quite a softy so there are generally very few rules as far as the house goes! :) My yard is completely fenced with lots of room to play. They can sleep wherever they choose and will always get plenty of time outdoors ( if they would like). I love walking and will take your pup for as many walks as you would like. My job is very flexible so while dog sitting I will always be at home and with your dog for the entire duration. I know that calmness and kindness are key to reassuring your pup and allowing them to feel happy and comfortable. Boarding can be stressful for animals and parents and I assure you that I will do everything I can to make the experience a joyous and pleasant one. Looking forward to caring for your beloved pup! I have recently lost my 17 yr old chihuahua so looking to have some more dog love in my life right now. Sincerely, Jackie I have a very flexible job as a vending machine owner/operator so I have lots of time to give love and walks to your fur baby! I like to keep pups stimulated with a variety of activities involving exercise, games and love. I enjoy creating fun games for them to do around the house!

Pumpkin was a little shaky at first since it was her first boarding experience, but Olga handled everything so well. I really appreciated how quickly she responded to my messages, it definitely helped ease my anxiety too. Overall, a great experience!
