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.
“Fantastic pet sitter. Highly recommend for any pet owner in need. Deliberate with care and is able was able to assist with medication as needed for my dog Fenrir. Will request services again.”
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.
“Delaney is great! She's watched our BMD a couple of times now and she always keeps us updated and sends pictures. She also took care of my parents elderly lab on her most recent visit. Highly recommend Delaney!”
“Emma did everything we asked her to do with our energetic dog. She messaged us after every visit and took pictures to send to us. This was our first experience with Rover and we are very pleased. Hope to get Emma to set with our puppy again.”
“Mia has been superior for us. Not only did she take an hour to meet and greet with us, she leaves great notes, is prompt, helped us in a pinch on late notice, and puts up with our two puppies antics. Would recommend Mia for any dog sitting. She impressed us with her knowledge of dogs and puppies.”

About: 🔹🔹I accept only ONE client at a time 🔹🔹 I grew up in a house with a lot of dogs and since then I learned how to love and take care them. I love dogs:) I work from home (self employed), so I will always have plenty of time to play and watch over your pups whenever you need it.

I love hanging out with animals and look forward to meeting your pups and kitties! I have helped take care of various pets for friends and others, including but not limited to, a pair of elderly dachshunds that had various medical needs, a lovely cat who loves to hand out, and I took home the class ferret nearly every weekend during my senior year. I am very familiar with administering medicine orally to both cats and dogs, and I have provided shots in the past. I personally had to care for my own dog that needed major surgery, and am familiar with animal's warnings and limits. I currently work part-time on an every other week schedule, but can take care of animals between shifts as needed. My husband and I split the care for our pets and make sure all of them get the proper playtime and food they individually need. I follow all instructions provided by the owner and always meet new animals before the owner leaves so that they are familiar with me. I provide food, play with the pets for a bit, and any other requests while in the home.

About: Lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience training therapy dogs and certified crisis canines (with National Crisis Resonse Canines). Comfortable with all ages—from puppies to seniors—and skilled in reading behavior and providing calm, structured care. Certified in canine first aid and CPR Because I’m retired, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and companionship without feeling rushed, and I can easily adapt to your dog’s routine and needs. I provide structured, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise, training cues, and medications if needed.

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.
“Sydney is amazing!! She helped me out with my puppy very last minute. She always came on time and followed instructions perfectly!

I highly recommend her! We cannot thank you enough!”

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 .

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.
