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.

I am active duty military. I have time throughout the day to take dogs out or feed them when needed. Free Friday through Sunday as well About an acre of land for dogs to roam around on, unfenced. Can be crated when needed or if they are good without it and won’t destroy furniture, that works too. Can take them on walks or hikes.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since I was 12 and am always down to hike with a dog. 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! I am currently completing an internship during normal weekday work hours, so I am available for walks and drop in visits in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and lunch hours if needed. 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: 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: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, and I’ve had dogs my entire life. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical medications, and injectable medications. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I can confidently walk multiple dogs at once and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. I’m a full-time student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, which gives me a flexible schedule with breaks between classes to check in on your beloved pets. When I’m not in class, I’m usually at home studying, so your pets will have plenty of company and won’t be left feeling lonely. Whether they need a quick potty break, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been caring for cats for the past 6 years. While I don’t currently offer boarding because I don’t have the space to host pets in my home, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care in your pet’s familiar environment. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of multiple dogs at a time. I am very timely with their sleep, eating, and play schedules. I have frequently taken care of any messes that have happened and provide safety measures to assure that it doesn't happen again. I am a part-time student and a stay-at-home wife. We are not in the position to get a pet ourselves but I love animals. I have church on the weekends but other than that I am available to your pets needs at any given moment. I have a fenced yard, which is decent in size. I have no pets of my own so if your pet isn't good with other pets there won't be a problem.

About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember and I'm that person that will go out of my way to make sure an animal is happy and content. Family, friends and neighbors fully entrust me with the care and transport of their pets and can rest their minds because they know their pet is in good hands. I send texts, pics and any other updates of how their beloved furry family member is doing while they're away. One time I was watching my friend's senior cat while she was away. We lived in very rural Alaska at the time where the nearest vet was a 3 hour drive. He was fine for the first couple of days, then out of nowhere he became very lethargic. Low energy and wasn't eating. I noticed a rather large, soft lump on his head between his ears which I thought to be an abscess. I reached into my background as a medical assistant and decided to drain the fluid. Once I did, he jumped back to his old self... purrring, playing, eating. Yes, I know taking him to the vet is the best option, but sometimes you do what needs to be done. While I love both cats and dogs and am willing to care for both, the dog would have to be the right fit. Meaning, due to my injury, I'm not able to go on runs like I used to or long walks. I am currently recovering from an on the job injury, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available most any time aside from my physical therapy appointments once a week. Don't let my injury deter you. I am strong, mobile and more than capable of most activities minus running or long walks. I prefer taking care of pets in the comfort of their home. I am both dependable and reliable as a house/pet sitter or drop in.

About: I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes. When I walk with my dog I like to exercise her mentally and physically so I do a combination of fast walking and stops for sniffs, which seems to always leave her happy. I’m glad to do any kind of walking routine that your pup might enjoy and or be used to. I look forward to hanging out with your dog and providing excellent care ❤️ I am currently working part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I am living in the North Pole area but don’t mind driving to Fairbanks. I am very respectful of each persons home and fur baby. I will follow any instructions you might have for my visit. Please let me know what you and your pup need to be comfortable 😄

About: I grew up around dogs. I like to keep them active by walking them or playing with them outside. I have taken care of small and large breeds. I have a flexible working schedule, some days at work need to be in person, some can be distance, so I can stay with customer's pets. At client's home I am following the provided pet dietary guidelines. I am frequently letting the pets out for potty breaks. If the yard is not fenced, I am paying extra attention for the presence of other pet or wild animals. I also like to keep the pets busy with activities so they do not get bored.

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 follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets have access to food, water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m also comfortable with crates, leashes, and different routines and personalities

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! My name is Kristen. I work as vet tech and have been working with animals my entire life. I have a love and passion for dogs and other animals and would love to care for them while you are gone! They are welcome to stay right in our home and become part of the family! I have extensive experience working with animals. I have been volunteering at my local humane society and fostering and rehabilitating dogs for many years. I have years of experience caring for and training sled dogs. I have been training my own dogs for a variety of sports such as Obedience, Rally, and Agility, Dock diving, and Barn Hunt for over ten years as well. I have worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for several years where I was constantly working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments (I love them all)! I also have experience pet sitting dogs in my home for many years. I have been working as a vet tech for the past 8 years. I have a flexible work schedule with a 3 hour lunch break and only about 5 minutes away from home. Your dog is never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. We live just outside of town in a secluded and private area of Goldstream. We have a large fenced in yard for your dog to play in. We also have direct access to the Goldstream trails right from our property (which I hike very frequently with the dogs) We have a small team of sled dogs that are also part of our family. They are fenced off in a separate yard, but all are very friendly. If you have a dog that loves to play, we basically have our own dog park right here with lots of friendly dogs! I have several dogs that absolutely love to play with other dogs and would love to meet your dog. Please contact me if interested! I would love to watch your dog while you are away! I am very active with my own dogs and your dog is welcome to join right in! We play tons of fetch, go swimming and hiking, as well as dog sledding and skijoring in the winter. References available upon request. I work several days per week as a vet tech, but have a 3 hour lunch break in the middle of the day. Your dog is never left alone for more than about 4 hours. I have big fenced in yards with two very friendly house dogs. Your dog will be welcomed into my home and treated just like my own dogs.

About: I grew up in a big animal lover family with all kinds of pets and in turn have always been responsible for my part in taking care of them, starting at a young age. Currently my husband and I only have one adorable cat named Honeybee. We found her as a stray while visiting my home town in Florida. I also attended a veterinary assisting program in high school as well as interned in a veterinary clinic. If you have a sick, older furry friend, or puppies who need a little extra care I have experience with that and don't mind taking those extra steps for their comfort. My husband and I are both active duty military, depending on what shift we are on for that week our schedule can change. But typically we are gone from our house for 9 hours during the week days. The rest of the time we usually are just chilling. If I'm caring for your pet, my attention during my free time will 100% go to them. As someone who has handled a variety of pets and has a cat, I understand that each pet has their own little quirks. Therefore I can easily adapt to any need your fur babies require to make them feel safe and comfortable.

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.
