“Rhonda was amazing! She sent me photos and videos everyday of my happy pups. My girls loved her so much, they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up! I highly recommend Rhonda to anyone looking for a loving dog sitter!”
“We are so thankful for the amazing care our dog Mookie received! She accepted our last-minute boarding request and was incredibly communicative, kind, and accommodating from start to finish. She worked around our schedule and even cared for Mookie despite having other plans herself — truly a lifesaver for our family. She kept us updated with pictures, and Mookie looked so content and happy the entire time. When we brought him back, he was genuinely excited to see her again, which says everything about how well he was treated. We would absolutely trust her with Mookie again and highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”
“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.”
“Kristen did a great job. My dog is a rescue from an abusive past so we get a bit nervous leaving her. My usual pet sitters - friends - were suddenly unable to watch my dog and I stumbled across Kristen. She does have several dogs, which for my dog is a great distraction from being away from her owners. My dog had a great time with her and her dogs. I will definitely use Kristen again as a pet sitter.”
“Lauren went above and beyond our expectations. She's super friendly and was very welcoming to our pups. She kept great communication and sent many photo updates, keeping us confident our pups were in good hands while on vacation. Nothing feels better than knowing your animals are safe and given love while you're away! She even had to handle an unexpected trip to the vet for one pup and had to administer meds for 2 days. We really are satisfied and are looking forward to the next vacation when we can work with her again!!”
“She was great! Kept us in the loop, sent pictures and updates! Very flexible with drop off and pick up to work around our schedules! It was a wonderful experience and will definitely use her in the future!!!”
“This is Jojo's second time staying with Weslyn, and once again she has taken awesome care of him and has provided daily updates. She kept me informed and gave Jojo plenty of exercise. I will be booking with her again.”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough nice things about Tiffany. Our communication was great. I had a change in travel plans and she was very accommodating. She sent me pictures of them home and on walks so I knew he was having a blast. Her pup Barb is a doll and very friendly :)”
“Our dog Steve had a great time with Julie-Ann. She took great care of him and sent at least one picture a day. I highly recommend Julie-Ann and her husband, and we will definitely try to use her again the next time we go out of town.”
“Stephanie and Omar were incredible! My dogs can be “a lot” but they gave them all the love and cuddles they needed. I 100% trust them with my monsters and will definitely book with them 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: Ive had pets my whole life, from large to small. Ive taken care of puppies 6+ weeks old and elderly dogs as well. High energy or couch potatoes I’ve had them all! Currently a stay at home with two dogs, one frenchie and one husky mix. I can feed on a strict schedule, take walks, play, anything required has my 100% attention. I have plenty of leashes at my home, do not have a fenced in yard of my own. Dogs can be separated at meal time and potty breaks are often.
“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”

“Kaycee did a great job watching our dogs. We contacted her day of service because we were new to the area and needed someone to watch our dogs while moved in to our new place. Kaycee was able to accommodate dog sitting last minute and was even able to extend watching our dogs for an extra couple of days. Kaycee own dogs were able to help keep our dogs active while they stayed at her place. I don’t think we could have found a better dog sitter for the area in this situation. Needless to say, we will be using Kaycee again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairbanks
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.
Gabriela did a fantastic job taking care of my girls for three nights/4 days! She was quick to respond to inquiries and on her own sent photos 2 times a day to show us how everyone was doing! I have had lesser service in other markets from people who charged more I would not hesitate to use her care again the next time we are in Fairbanks.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Fairbanks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fairbanks on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 39 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.
