Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sunrise
“Sharon is so so wonderful with my girl Kona. Sharon goes above and beyond and is very accommodating. My dog is so happy to see her and her family. I especially love the pictures that Sharon sends me while I'm away, makes me happy my girl is having a fun time. Thanks Sharon and Michael for your excellent care for my dog. See you again soon :-)”
“Olga and her kids took such great care of Zeke. I got photo updates every day and she even bought him toys. Olga was super accommodating with drop off and pick up. We even had a meet and greet prior to the first day so Zeke would have at least met her before spending time with her. I highly recommend Olga as a dog sitter.”
“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“I highly recommend Crystal to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy and caring. My Siberian husky, X, is very energetic and has a mind of his own off leash, so leaving him with anyone is always a little nerve-wracking for me. Crystal was incredibly attentive and patient with him, taking the time to ensure he could play safely with other dogs while keeping a close eye on him. She was flexible when I needed to extend his stay due to an unforeseen family situation, which eased a lot of my anxiety. What impressed me most was how well Crystal communicated — she asked thoughtful questions to understand X’s needs and kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos. Knowing she cared so much made leaving my “escape artist” baby much easier. I feel extremely confident recommending Crystal to anyone who wants their dog to be loved and well cared for.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Thanks for all the feedback and activity updated while we were traveling. Lola loves you and your family. Always leave us feeling safe and secure. I know how much you care about your furry little guests. We appreciate you so much. ML”
“Sarah was amazing! She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Iggy absolutely loved his little vacation! He and her pup, Bunny, got along so well. They were adorable. I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again!”
“Jessica took great care of my dog! She sent pictures all day every day. Jessica walked her multiple times a day. My sweet baby came back happy! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Huw& Jolynne are world class. My little pomperanian Suki LOVES them. They take great care and she comes back healthy, happy, and well cared for. When I do repeat stays, my little girl runs to them. I'm really pleased and highly satisfied with Huw & Jolynnes care!!!! Recommend them wholeheartedly.”
“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”
“Emily was hands down the best sitter I’ve had on Rover. She was extremely communicative, went above and beyond to accommodate both me and my pup, and provided consistent updates throughout the stay. She even offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off, which was a huge help. I truly appreciated the care she showed and her ability to handle Oliver with confidence and kindness. Highly recommend.”
“Ashley and her family were great to Gracie as always and they really stepped up to the plate for this stay when Alaska Airlines canceled our flight home and we had to extend her stay by an extra two days! Thank you Ashley for everything you do!”
“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”
“Ralph gave excellent care to Maggie, treating her like his own dog. He sent multiple updates and it was great to know Maggie was loved while we were away. Thanks Ralph!”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”
“Ashley was great! We needed to find a place at the last minute for our dog for a couple nights. Great communication and she was able to accommodate some minor schedule changes, which was a big help. And, she took great care of our dog, who said he had a blast!”

About: I am a current student at Ohio State University home for the summer and I have had pets my whole life. I grew up with 3 dogs, one miniature pincher that we rescued when I was young who passed away when I was 12 and a golden retriever/lab mix named Koko that I had for 12 years that passed away last summer. I currently have a German Shepard/chow mix that I’ve had for about 8 years and his name is Colt. Colt is my best friend and I bring him around on adventures all the time. I taught Colt hot to fetch, catch a frisbee, and how to dance with me. I love to hike and think dogs just make hiking experience 1000x better. I also go to the beach almost everyday over the summer and love bringing my dog to the beach. I have a pretty big yard and am looking to spend a lot of time with dogs this summer! My dog at home has been pretty lonely since my other dog Koko died last year so it would also be nice to have other dogs Colt can be around and play with!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sunrise
“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!”
“Sharon and Mike were great with our pup! Kind people, large fenced in backyard- our pooch enjoyed his stay and we were comfortable leaving him.”
“Very happy with Crystal! My dogs were well taken care of & I had piece of mind knowing they were in good hands. Very kind & patient helping me navigate your Rover app too! 😊👍”
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!
“Maggie took great care of my pup and updated me every day with photos and videos. I know he was in good hands and got all the love and exercise he needed while at her house.”
“I immediately knew when I visited Trey that her home and family wereperfect for my dog King. She sent photos during his stay and was very responsive to texts. Will book with her in the future!”
“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.”
“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!”
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: I’m Zoey, I’m 30 and from Texas, I’ve been in Alaska almost 9 years. Animal lover and plant enthusiast!! I’ve loved taking care of animals since I was a little girl, I’ve always felt connected to all walks of life, and found them extremely intriguing and inspiring. My friends and family have counted on me to walk and sit for their pets for years now, including cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, birds and plants and a couple reptiles here and there :) hope to meet ur pup soon! I’m an owner of almost 50 indoor house plants. Which calls for routine and not quite like an animal, but I love them that much, I love taking care of things is what I’m trying to say :-) I wanna spend more time with animals than humans, life’s ruff. I would absolutely love to meet your pets, and help maintain the overall health of their fitness, taking them on long walks or short, I’m ready for it! Will follow any instructions left and or schedules, about triggers and what to avoid or what to focus on
About: My husband and I lost our great Pyrenees a few months ago. :( We have an older shihtzu and would like to watch another dog because our dog is getting older and does not like to hike anymore. She does enjoy her walks tho. We like all types of dogs as long as they are well behaved and get along with cats and other dogs. Our home is 2,800 sq ft and we have a 10,000 sq ft yard. We can only host 2 dogs max at a time so your dog will be well taken care. We prefer only one at a time tho since we also have a cat . I am currently working part time but work from home most of the time. My husband also works from home . We walk our dog 2 -3 times a day. We like to hike and during the summer and in winter we walk the trails that are right next to our home. I have a fenced yard , but can also crate your baby if you prefer. We have everything needed for a big or little dog.
About: I have taken care of animals and properties since I was 13. Including through highschool, college, marriage. I love all animals, all exercise, outdoors, and organizing. I love the change and experience of taking care of other properties while housesitting. I love exercise, play time and cuddles while petsitting. I love to stay busy. I do whatever is requested by owner. I feed, bathe, groom, walk, run, drive. Feel free to give me a list. I appreciate the business.
About: Hi! Both my husband and I have grown up in Alaska helping care for small chihuahuas all the way up to wolf-hybrids. We are a fun and loving couple with 2 small doodles of our own, 3 stories of house to play in, a small backyard/potty area, and located right next to a doggy park. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work from home permanently, so I am able to provide care all day long for your fur baby. While I work, typically my two doodles spend their time snacking and watching TV! Once the work day is up, to the park we go! I have two miniature sized doodles to keep your dog company. Additionally, we have many toys available to play with, ample treats, and a small backyard area for potty with an additional park right next door. Both of my doodles are fixed and crate trained. :)
“Danielle was wonderful from the very start! This was our first time using Rover for Smoky and Danielle provided updates and photos throughout the day, which was very reassuring. Smoky clearly had a wonderful day with her and was exhausted when he got home! Already planning to rebook with Danielle.”
“Tommy was wonderful to our 13 week lab puppy! We were worried about leaving her in a boarding kennel, so we chose Tommy to watch her while we enjoyed a fishing charter! The boat came back later than expected, and Tommy was so understanding ! He met us at the docks to pick up our dog and dropped her off which was so convenient !”
“Ashley is a dime a dozen! My pup loves visiting Ashley and her fur babies. She is so kind and understanding when unexpected things come up and will work with you however she can. If you need someone to watch your babies she is definitely the perfect person! If I could give more than a 5 star I would.”
About: Current medical student with so much motivation to get outside with my dog in between studying. When I was a kid, I always wanted a dog….but we owned everything except a dog due to our lack of a yard. To solve this, I would knock on my neighbors doors to walk and play with their dogs everyday. Now I can finally continue my love into adulthood. My rescue dog, Cowboy, would also love a furry friend. He was the dog the shelter used to socialize their dogs and I’m sure he misses it. I hope I can help you out and use the knowledge I’ve gained from training him and the dogs in my childhood to love and care for your friend! I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I take my dog on 2 walks a day and spend a lot of time playing, training, and cuddling. I would love to share this time with your pet too. I have a fully enclosed private back yard. Right outside my front door is a short walk to a park and many other walking trails.
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including my own, family pets, and even strays. I’ve cared for dogs at all life stages—from puppies to seniors. I’ve always had a big heart for animals—they’re amazing and truly deserve our love. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I am currently stay at home wife, my schedule is pretty flexible so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your puppy. I will be available after 10 am. We can talk and work out on the schedule that would work best for you. I have fenced yard and two puppies to keep your fur baby company, they either play in side the house or outside depending on the weather because I consider safety first; but while they’re in the house I can keep them occupied and busy with playing, puzzle games, they can roam around the house but I always keep my eyes on them or I can create them if pet parents needed; I have camera to monitor them.

“Suzanne was highly responsive for booking and accommodating for drop off/pick up. While we didn’t have an opportunity for a meet and greet beforehand, she kindly responded to all my questions and concerns leading up to the stay. She sent a few quick updates and a couple photos during the two week stay, and didn’t report any issues. Suzanne was playing with my dog in the yard when I came to pick her up - they both looked like they were having a great time! Working with Suzanne was fuss-free and I would happily book with her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Danielle. She communicated very well with us. She sent us pictures and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She seems like she truly is an animal lover. I think our dog was a little nervous when we left him because it was with somebody new but when we came back, he didn’t wanna leave her !”
“I’m so happy that we found Lisa and Joe to mind our two pups while we were in Anchorage. They took great care of Ruby and Chance, made them comfortable in their home, and provided updates. Lisa is very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!”

“Having Cairo stay with Heather was such a stress free experience! When I took him by to meet her and the other dogs she asked a lot of good questions which reassured me that he would be well cared for. Throughout his stay she kept me updated with photos and he came home completely exhausted, which is always a good sign. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Heather to anyone!!”
“Mandy was awesome with our English lab! Before our trip she let us have a meet n greet to make sure our animals were all friendly. Definitely went above and beyond with everything. Hope Mandy will want to watch Lucy again in the future! 👍👍”
