About: Experienced with pets of all ages and species from reptiles and rodents to cats and dogs. Growing up around diverse animals built my confidence, patience, and ability to handle different temperaments. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I wake up at 6:30am and go to the gym until 8:40am and then I make breakfast around 9am and feed my cats and take out their litter boxes and make sure their waters full. Then I make lunch at 11:30am-12:00pm and go on a walk sometimes after. Around 5-6pm I make dinner for me and my cats then I usually watch tv after. I do have a job but it’s a 8am-5pm so I’m able to tend for animals morning and nights! I care for my own 2 cats at my house. I change their litter boxes everyday and feed them at 9am and at 5pm whenever I eat breakfast and dinner, and they have a running water bowl that I clean weekly! I have an all pet friendly, 2-story home with a fenced in backyard and a calm neighborhood to walk around in. I can assure that I would treat, care, and love for your pets as my own!

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: 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.

I love animals of all kinds and have experience with dogs, puppies, cats, fish, and birds. I would be delighted to meet and care for your pets!

While I cannot currently host pets in my own home, I have years of experience caring for animals in other peoples’ homes and would be careful to follow any specific instructions related to your pet’s care and routines.

About: I have taken care of my family and friends fur babies for two years both in my home and at their home. They entrusted me to feed and walk them while they were away. Additionally, there are discounts provided for two or more pets to be cared for and loved during your time away. Dog bathing is provided for an additional fee, if interested, in the comfort of your home so your pets are refreshed before you arrive home to them. My time at home has allowed me to love and care for my own animals, but to also provide a loving and nurturing environment for yours as well while in my care. Safety is number one in our home! Additionally, I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own to easily make your fur baby feel welcomed, loved, and cared during their time with us. Please understand that I do not stay in the home of others due to that I have animals of my own that need their mama home to take care of them and assist with their needs, but I am still available for house visits upon requests.

About: I currently am a cat owner as I recently lost my Cane Corso to cancer. I have taken care of all kinds of pets, including sled dog teams in my home state of Alaska. I am well versed in special needs animals as well as medication administration. I love all animals, but have a particular soft spot for senior dogs. I truly believe that animals are family members and should be treated as such. I would love to hang out with your babies! As of now, I have open availability as I recently relocated back to Vegas. I am open to do just about anything and everything you need for your pet and for your own peace of mind. My animals are fed twice a day and exercised based on their needs. I am extremely active myself so high energy pets are not an issue for me. I love to be outside and always looking to have a buddy to hang out with me!

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I started independently watching others pets at 16. I am currently a first year veterinary student at UAF so I will be spending the rest of my life caring for and helping animals. I have worked at veterinary clinics for the past 5 years and have some extra skills I can offer such as bathing and nail trims before they get picked up with a small charge if desired. I am currently a full time student at UAF so I have class from 8 or 9 am- 4-5 pm (like a full time job) but I do have a one hour lunch break that I could utilize if pet is not used to being alone for that amount of time. I do have a dog myself and I live alone so I would have to either have your pet come to me or my dog would have to tag alone to your place. He is dog and cat friendly. I would prefer to be able to bring your pet to my apartment which is right next to Creamer’s field where we walk almost every day. I will house sit if desired but my dog has to be able to come with me.

About: Hello - I am Annie and I am 25 years old from Rhode Island. I have dogsat for families throughout college in colorado area. I have a 5year old Old English Sheepdog who is about 75lbs back home and a 60 lb goldendoodle puppy now. He needs about 1-2 hours of exercise a day so I understand long walks / playing in parks, etc. I am usually gone 6a - 5p at work so I try to avoid caring for dogs during the week with my dog at home. I would prefer to do more dog walking services or daycare on weekends so our pups can play, have a fenced in backyard so they can run around together.

The whole interaction is 30 minutes. The actual walk is 20 minutes.

About: I adore dogs so much. I have helped raise 4 dogs from puppyhood and I haves cared for senior dogs as well. I have tackled potty training, basic commands, and a few neat tricks. Your dog will be treated like absolute royalty with me, my favorite thing is pampering my own beautiful pups. I have never met a dog I don’t like and I’ve always lived with dogs so I’m exceptionally comfortable around them. I currently work mostly from home and I’m a part time dance teacher in the fall and spring. I can make myself available almost any day besides Sunday. I have two dogs, one 10 months old and the other is 4. They get to go on walks, drives, adventures to the dog park, and more. I treat dogs like kids honestly. We gotta burn energy and then make them feel comfy and loved.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fairbanks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Fairbanks on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 124 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fairbanks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fairbanks stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Fairbanks 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Fairbanks with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
