“Veronica was extremely easy and flexible to work with! She was able to accommodate last minute changes and a last minute booking when my original plans fell through. I knew my dogs were well taken care of!”
About: I am a Veterinary Student through UAF/CSU. I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have animals of my own. I am used to high maintenance animals, as my dog is one. I am currently full time in my Veterinary Program. Looking for weekend work just to make some extra cash. Love animals and would like to help those in the area. I will mostly be offering sitting/check-ins for your animals at your home! I have a dog of my own here who is friendly but likes to keep more to herself
“Jasmine was very good with Oliver. She came over prior to our departure to get the particulars, she showed up on time and took care of our doggo. I was weary about using this app having a stranger in my home. But I must say Jasmine was deluge and I look forward to utilizing her services in the future.”
About: I am very open and flexible schedule-wise, I don't mind getting up early if needed. I have experience with my own shitzu-poodle (Mocha), and my black cat (Gravy), as well as my neighbors various cats and dogs. I am a college student, so my only responsibility is to attend my classes. I have a lot of large gaps between/before classes where I can go let pets out for potty breaks, take them on a walk, give them food, etc,. I am very flexible. I have time to do multiple visits a day. I'm able to visit before classes, in between classes, and after. Any excuse to get out of my dorm is a good one 😅 I am more than willing to prepare food for pets, administer medications, or just spend some time with the pets if desired. Overall, I want to maintain a respectful and trusting relationship with clients.
About: I’m a pet lover who will treat your pets like family. I’m happy to come to your home so your pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for your pets. I am available for drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I will do my best to work with your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me.

About: With extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, I specialize in providing structured, stress-free care tailored to each animal's unique needs. What sets me apart: Puppy Care: I have the patience and consistency required to help reinforce potty training, crate routines, and basic obedience for young, high-energy pups. Senior Care: I am deeply compassionate and detail-oriented, making me highly capable of managing strict feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing the gentle, slow-paced care older pets need. Dependability: I am punctual, highly communicative, and strictly follow all care instructions provided by owners to ensure a seamless transition for your pets. Pet care fits seamlessly into my week. I prioritize the pets I watch by adapting my daily schedule to match their established home routines. Whether you need regular weekday drop-ins, weekend care, or extended visits, I dedicate ample time each day to ensuring feeding stations are clean, medications are administered on time, and your cats get plenty of attention and playtime. If your pet stays in my home, they will be entering a thoroughly pet-proofed, secure, and clean environment. I am highly safety-conscious, meaning all potentially hazardous materials are securely stored, and exterior doors and windows are strictly monitored to prevent any escapes. I provide plenty of safe, quiet spaces for pets to retreat and relax if they feel overwhelmed. I closely supervise all activities and make sure your pet has constant access to fresh water, clean litter boxes, and engaging toys in a totally hazard-free zone.
About: We have both had pets our entire lives, until recently. Have experience in medication and senior care needs. We have had both cats and dogs in the home. Most of our animals were rescue critters, with various backgrounds. We have not only taken care of our own pets but watched friends critters when they traveled. Currently one of us is retired and will be able to be with your pet all day, except on occasion when we go out or errands. Both of us are home in the evenings and weekends and are also willing to take your pet with for rides or errands, if allowed. We enjoy daily walks. We do not have a fenced yard but a nice area for walking behind the house. Your pet will always be supervised. We can crate your dog, if needed or requested, but otherwise they will have the run of the house.
About: I’ve spent half my life on a horse ranch. Throughout my life, I’ve had dogs, cats, horses, cows, and more. I love animals. I’ve had brand new puppies to senior dogs. I can do any of the care you need, from giving medication to helping them walk outside. 😊 Currently, I’m solely focused on taking care of my five-month-old puppy at home, which leaves me with a very flexible schedule. I’m more than happy to take care of your dogs if you need someone to do so. ☺️ I have a fenced backyard for my five-month-old puppy, and I play with him and take him in the car wherever I go. I’ve taught him basic obedience, including kennel training and potty training. I love my puppy so much! He definitely has a personality and is a bit of a goofball most of the time. 😆
About: Please read through my whole profile and make sure I am the correct fit for your pet! I have been dedicated to animal care from a young age, always showing a strong passion for helping animals in need. Over 15 years ago, I began working with rescue dogs while searching for the right dog to adopt. During this time, I adopted my first and third foster dogs, later welcoming a third rescue into my home. I continued fostering dogs until 2018, by which point I was caring for five of my own, along with chickens, goats, horses, ducks, and other animals. Additionally, I volunteered and worked at an animal sanctuary specializing in behavioral modification training, focusing on rehabilitating dogs with the most challenging backgrounds. I am currently employed full-time, working 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I base my life around the well being of my companion! I love my dog and his happiness means everything to me. I currently work M-Thurs 10-hour day shifts. I walk my dog on a leash, unless im in an area that is safe for him to be off leash (Chena or Tanan Lake areas.) I do take my dog to the dog park for some socialization as i believe it is very important to keep him social with other dogs and humans. My dog does sleep on my bed. As far as taking care of clients pets, I will respect their wishes with how they want their loved one taken care of.
About: A decade plus of canine and feline care experience. I have ample exposure to large dogs, high energy dogs, and dogs with special care requirements. My working history includes multiple years volunteering at an animal shelter, multiple years at the Denali National Park Sled Dog Kennel, and a year at an Iditarod Kennel here in Fairbanks. This past winter, I both won the T-Dog 200 Sled Dog Race and more importantly was awarded the Vets Choice Award for exemplary dog care and health. I take pride in making sure every pet I work with gets to have a safe, fun, and fulfilling stay! I work full time at a nature preserve here in Fairbanks so I am at work from 9-5, M-F. However I am free outside of these hours. I believe in taking care of every pet as an individual. There’s no one way to do it. I’d like to know your pet and be as accommodating to their needs as possible!

About: With over 11 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve provided loving, reliable care for cats, dogs, and small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes and cages, grooming, and offering companionship tailored to each pet’s personality. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or a quiet walk, I make sure every pet feels loved and secured. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start each morning with feeding, fresh water, and a quick health check to make sure each pet is happy and well. For dogs, that means a morning walk or play session, and for cats, some enrichment or affection depending on their mood. I make time for check-ins, potty breaks, litter box maintenance, and interactive play. In the evenings, I wind things down with another feeding, walks, or quiet time. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and ensure consistency and comfort. In my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for each pet. I follow their usual routines closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and play habits. I make sure pets have clean water, a cozy place to rest, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m careful to keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I always take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can provide the care they’re used to. Whether I’m boarding pets or visiting during the day, I treat every pet like family. All pets must show proof of vaccination records in order to provide a safe and healthy environment for all pets.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
