“Ziggy and Zuzu had a great time with Amanda and her family. They loved all the attention and pets playing in the backyard. Amanda gave me great updates with pictures and responds quickly. Hope she can sit for us again!”
“Georgea took excellent care of our super sensitive golden retriever and left our house in pristine condition too! I will definitely have her back. It’s hard to find people I trust with my precious fur baby, but Georgea is one of them for sure.”
“Salem house-sat for us for 3 weeks. During that time she took great care of our 2 dogs, our chickens, and our plants. Our dogs absolutely adored her. Salem went over and above our expectations and I would recommend her to anyone.”
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.
“Coral stepped in when our scheduled Rover was unexpectedly unable to watch our dogs within 24 hours of our trip. Our two dogs were very happy with her and we enjoyed the pictures and updates she sent. Our backyard fence blew down in a windstorm and she ensured our girls were safe and kept us apprised of the fence repair. She put us at ease that our girls were safe and happy while we were out of state.”
About: I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them the way I would want someone to care for my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I take the time to get to know each animal so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away — not stressed or confused. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely attentive. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, maintaining routines, or giving extra reassurance to anxious pets, I treat every detail as important. Communication is a big priority for me. I provide updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I do this because I truly love animals — not as a side hustle, but as care with heart. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re family I offer personalized pet care in my home or yours, always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Because I maintain an open and flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent check-ins, and accommodate last-minute bookings, extended stays, and pets who need extra care.

I offer personalized pet care in your home or mine, focusing on routines, comfort, and stress-free care. Every pet receives one-on-one attention, plenty of love, and consistent communication so you always feel confident while you’re away
About: Iv had dogs my entire life. From labs to bullterriers, pitbulls, britneys,GPS puppies, mixes. I will take care of yours as I would my own. Walks, parks if yours likes parks, cuddles, anything they need. I work from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings or extended stays with advance notice, and I’m quick to respond to messages. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Dogs are always leashed outside and stay within my sight at all times. I closely follow your care instructions, keep a calm and attentive environment, and make sure pets get plenty of love, supervision, and safe play. I treat every dog like they’re my own.
About: I volunteer at the local shelter (AARF) every weekend and I grew up with multiple dogs! Animals are my absolute favorite and I am pretty versatile. I’m active duty but im free anytime after work (5pm) and im always free on the weekends! Im pretty good at fitting people/work into my schedule. I live in the barracks so normally I wouldn’t have animals come over to my place, but I always make sure my clients pets have a great experience and try and give them the most engaging/stimulating experience possible!
“Kira took fantastic care of my two dogs over Thanksgiving week. They absolutely loved her, and it was clear from their relaxed, happy behavior that she gave them lots of attention and affection. She also went above and beyond with my chickens. She noticed their heater wasn’t working, figured out how to build a functioning fixture from parts in the garage, and then continued to check it daily to make sure it was still working properly until we got back. I will definitely be asking Kira to watch my animals again. She’s competent, communicates clearly, and is truly compassionate with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. And here ADA dog is a sweetie too!”
“We have used Erica several times for house and dog sitting, and she continues to do an excellent job. Our dogs are always happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She keeps us updated while we're away and follows our instructions carefully. We especially appreciate the care she takes with our home. Each time we return, the house is exceptionally clean, neat, and well cared for, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when traveling. Erica is reliable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her.”
About: I'm new to Palmer and I am trying to establish myself in the local community. I can't think of a better way to get to know the area than by pet- and house-sitting in my new community! I have had dogs my whole life, but in the last 12 years I have been entrusted by friends, neighbors, and colleagues to watch their pets, as well as feed and care for them while they are away. I have loads of experience from incontinent senior dogs with mobility issues to hyperactive puppies; from whole teams of husky sled dogs to special needs dogs requiring daily diabetes shots. I've done it all! Poop, pee, and vomit clean-up doesn’t faze me! And don’t be surprised if I go above and beyond to tidy up your yard and your home. My philosophy has always been to leave things better than I found them. I have a part-time Aussie that I share with my very amicable ex, and when he’s not with me I miss dogs! (I can watch meow meows too!) We love our daily dog walkies and my own Aussie agrees! I moved to Anchorage last year and I work full-time in midtown M-F, but I have plenty of time during the morning, lunchbreak, and evening for pet check-ins, daily dogs walks, letting your dog out for potty breaks, administering medication, etc. I I am able to care for pets in my own home, but I am also available and prefer to pet sit and house sit in your home. I am neat and tidy, and always leave a space better than I found it.
“This is the second time we have had Sorona watch our baby. She is fantastic. We get lots of pictures while we are away. Diamond is right at home with her. We had a freezer fail while we were away and Sorona contacted us promptly so we could contact a relative to salvage what we could. We have already booked for later this summer. Highly recommend Sorona.”
“We are so grateful Jamie was available to watch our pup! She is a confident, exceptionally capable dog person. She is reliable and has the best communication practices of any dog sitter in out 30 years as dog owners. Our daily updates and photos were informative detailed. She is super perceptive and observant when it comes to dog behavior. We would hire her again if we travel.”
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 Wasilla 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 Wasilla 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.
Tip: 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 Wasilla 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
