“Rhonda took great care of our pup on last minute notice. She had great communication and sent updates and pictures during his two day stay. Highly recommended and will return in the future.”
“What a positive experience. Kristin keeps you posted on your furry kiddo through videos and photos. My boy loved his playtime with her pups and socialized well. She took Indiana Jones on walks and gave him total love and care. I am extremely happy to have used Kristin and will make sure she is my new doggie sitter. Thank you Kristin!”
“Weslyn did an awesome job watching Jojo. She updated me every day, offered to replace his food if he were to run out, and was extremely flexible with constant scheduling issues that happened on my end. Not only was she flexible, but was gracious and patient regarding the changes as well. Upon return, though I planned on picking Jojo up from Weslyn's residence, she drove to me instead because my car had been buried in the snow. Jojo was happy and taken care of, and Weslyn's professional attitude made being away from my pup easier.”
“When I picked up my dog, he was calm and happy. Lauren and her family did a great job with him and I think he is a better dog after having been with them than before dropping him off! I will definitely reach out to her again if I need dog care again.”
“They are super a super sweet couple who were kind enough to step up on short notice after the sitter I initially hired had a family emergency. My dog enjoyed her time at their house and all the extra outside time and walks. They administered her medicine with zero issues. We got lots of great updates and photos while we were gone, too! I would definitely book with them again.”
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.
“We’ve used Leslie a handful of times now. She is fantastic! She was super flexible with providing pet care for the birth of our son. Our dog loves being at her house!”
“Samantha was such a great dog sitter, Abby was sad when she drove off. She sent the cutest pictures, amd kept us up to date. We would be lucky to have her watch our doggos again!”
“Julie was fantastic with my pup Mazy! It is hard to find someone who could watch Mazy for my extended time away and she was our perfect match! With near daily updates, photos and communication, I knew Mazy was in good hands which put this mama's heart at ease.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, including working at mushing kennels and fostering rescue dogs. I’m a confident, active and loving dogsitter I work part time through the winter months and have 2 playful friendly dogs of my own. Typically dogs go out in the morning before I leave, get a lunchtime trip outside and will have a longer activity like a walk, swim, or trip to the dog park in the evening. I work about 10 minutes away, so it is easy to run home to check on the dogs. Dogs are welcome anywhere in my home. During my absence, trust worthy dogs maybe able to sleep on the couch, otherwise they be kenneled or on a dog run in the yard depending on preference. Dogs will have supervised yard time and leash walks, as well as fenced off leash time if suitable. I can feed on any schedule specified.
“Abigail did awesome with my dog. She took care providing my dog with activities, keeping me updated frequently while I was out of town for work. I will rebook with her and no doubts about it. Highly recommend. Thank you Abigail.”
“Kaycee did an amazing job watching my pup! My puppy has very high energy and she went above and beyond to make sure that she had a great, safe, and fun-filled weekend. I would absolutely ask Kaycee to watch her again,”
“Londyn is a wonderful sitter! She and her dog Onyx welcomed my pup into their home and gave him the time he needed to adjust and relax before I departed. She gave a few updates through the duration of his stay and included a couple of pictures each time. Londyn helped us to feel at ease while she watched our pup and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Should we need a sitter again she will definitely be our first choice!”
About: I’ve always grown up around pets. I’ve had hamsters, cats, dogs, & even some small reptiles. I couldn’t wait to finally have animals of my own. I started having major responsibilities for dogs about 6 years ago when we got our family dog Ruby. I took on the responsibility of house training, walking, grooming, etc. I also taught her many tricks. Now, I have two puppies & I’m loving every second of it. With having two puppies, I’ve learned so much more about how to care for animals & having unlimited patience. I’m a full time stay at home dog mom & I’m ready to give your dog the care & attention they deserve! Please consider me to care for your babies today and tomorrow.
About: I have had many pets and cared for many more. Dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and also provide top care and respect for your fur babies & home once booked.

So available full time just reach out and see if I can help you care for your fur children or fur children. I have a large none fenced yard I ask you bring leash, harness or collar along with food, toys and any relevant supplies for your pet.
“Andrea was awesome! We booked with her for a few days and didn’t have any issues. She communicated quickly and consistently kept us updated as well provided pictures. She was also very flexible with the drop off/ pickup times. I would definitely recommend her”
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: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, active, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, overnight stays, etc! I currently work full time as a nurse and keep my schedule updated regularly. My schedule gives me several days off throughout the week, allowing me plenty of time to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. I always make sure pets are in a safe and comfortable environment.

I’m also comfortable with crates, leashes, and different routines and personalities

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairbanks
TIffany was very conscientious and thoughtful regarding my dog Homer and cat Lucien. They both have their own unique personalities and degree of anxiety and Tiffany was great with both of them. Her dog Barb seemed to take Homer in stride and the pictures she sent seemed like Homer found a good friend. I very much appreciated Tiffany asking me questions regarding any idiosyncrasies in their care and how to make them feel at home. It really helped set my mind at ease to know she cared enough to make sure she knew them as individuals. I would highly recommend her.
Patricia was great. She took care of Benni, who is a very shy and fearful Yorkie, for three nights. Benni absolutely did not want to leave us, but she became so comfortable that she bonded with, sat with and slept on Patricia's bed. Patricia sent plenty of pictures and descriptions of Benni's care. We would definitely hire Patricia again, but we are only visiting Alaska and may not have another chance.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fairbanks on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 40 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fairbanks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fairbanks home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fairbanks.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Fairbanks sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
