“Mallory was a fantastic dog walker for my pup during a busy week when I couldn't give her all the attention she deserves. Mallory came by to meet Sakura ahead of time and discuss all the details with me. During the walks, she always provided text updates and adorable pictures. She even brought her kids along once and took them all to the playground!!! Thank you so much for your help taking care of my baby when I was busy, going above and beyond to give Sakura fun and fulfilling outings!”
“Krista is absolutely wonderful with Kala!! She makes sure and takes time with her and loves on her. I couldn’t ask for a better walker!! Def give Krista a call if you want someone to love yours the way they love theirs!!”
About: I have lots of experience caring for animals, from household pets to barn animals. I have grown up pet sitting for friends and family members for some years before owning any pets of my own in my home town (2 dogs and 2 cats). As of now, I am attending university so I am fostering cats who are either kittens or who have medical problems so I can administer their medications. I have been certified in Animal care and cpr, this allows me to be prepared for any situation. As of now, I have an open schedule and am flexible with bookings. I care for all pets by adhering to feeding schedules, walking schedules and more. Right now, I have a foster cat who I feed and play with daily. When I take care of my clients pets in their personal home, I will tend to their food, walking schedules, and medication schedules if needed. If I'm taking care of my clients pets in my personal home, I will always make my house feel like a second home so the pet feels as comfortable as it can be. If I'm cat-sitting, I always make sure their litter boxes are clean. Safety is the most important factor to me, I will always check on any information my clients leave me and will constantly be checking in on the pets. Communication is also important, communication with my clients is important for maintaining safety and trust.
About: I’ve been a dog owner in the past for many years and enjoy walking dogs, playing fetch or just showing them lots of love! I currently have a dog and 2 cats of my own that my parents watch for me while I’m doing a sitting job. I do have some experience with training and teaching commands if needed. I am not able to have your dog at my apartment but am willing to come to you to help any way I can! I am using this service out to make some extra cash but also to appease my animal loving heart as well! :) Your pet(s) will be in good hands with me! I work “bankers hours” so I am free on nights and some weekends depending on my schedule and previous commitments but generally plenty of free time. I am always concerned for my own pets health and happiness and do any and everything I can do to make sure they’re living their best life. I will mostly be free for nights and weekends. I don’t usually plan much, especially in the winter, so I have plenty of free time! My cats have plenty of toys and 2 towers to climb on. They are always fed and watered and are always good for a cuddle.
“We booked Alana while traveling to the KOA in Fairbanks. Did a pre-meet with Alana the day before our scheduled walks. Alana was very friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. She came 2 days to take our dog out for a walk while we were on tours in the area. She was easy to contact, communicated very well, and even sent pics and the walk they did with notes! Great experience! We would use Alana again if in the area!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, and am adaptable to any furry friend’s needs. My specialized experience includes caring for a Great Dane on a specialized diet and a blind black Labrador who loved to play fetch. I’ve also cared for toy breeds, including feeding, walking, and administering oral medications. I am currently not working, so I am able to stop by almost any time of day. I prefer to have Friday evenings off but am willing to accommodate if I am given a few days notice. I have experience staying overnight at friends and family’s homes while taking care for their pets, and have no issue staying up late or waking early for a pet’s needs. I also welcome lots of playtime or snuggles if needed.
“Jodi is a excellent dog walker and communicator. She provided full details about our dog's health and activity as well as photos. It is easy to tell how much she cares for the dogs she walks. I won't hesitate to use her again if I am lucky enough to be in the area again.”
About: My parents bred Golden Retrievers when I was a young child, and I have loved and had dogs since I was born. Barb, a 120lb Rottweiler/Mastiff, is our current companion after losing Richard, our 165lb St. Bernard. Now that my husband and I are empty-nesters, and now that I am retired (for the time being) I'm excited to take care of other dogs. I'm skilled at dog training and love dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and demeanors. Walking/hiking is one of my favorite past times. I'm excited for the opportunity to take care of your pooch! I am currently “retired” and have an extremely flexible schedule when I am not traveling. When I am in the Fairbanks area I should be able to help care for your dog most days/times. I have two fully fenced back yards. Barb (my dog) loves all dogs, and it is just Barb, my husband, and myself living in our home right now. I'm happy to accommodate the needs of your dog by keeping them at our house, going to your home, and/or taking them for a walk/hike/potty break. I also enjoy training puppies.
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: 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.
About: I have experience in boarding, grooming, training and running doggy day care. I have also boarded cats and reptiles. People have relied on me to board and/or walk their dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 7 years old. I believe in reliable, affordable, and loving pet care and strive to make your pet feel comfortable and safe. Let my home be their second home! I will have plenty of time to love on, walk, and play with your pets! I am currently available most days. This includes most holidays too. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company and happy! The dogs have their own room in the house that also includes kennels if your dog is trained, if not, that is ok, we have dog beds too! I also have all sorts of toys to play with and lots of yard space for your dog to run and play! Dogs and cats are also allowed in the house and on the furniture/couches.
About: I have 2 years of dog sitting for my neighbor when I was in high school. I watched my friends’ cat periodically while they were on vacation. I took care of my friends’ three big dogs it was challenging but a blast! I love brushing, playing, and most of all running! I would play with my aunt’s dog tank, outside for hours at a time. He was a very high energy dog which I love. I am currently in the army stationed at fort wainwright AK. I’m available everyday besides scheduled field problems. Sometimes duty calls and I have to come later or even earlier but I’ll you know in advance. I feed my kitties twice a day and give them fresh, filtered water every day. Most importantly, I give them the attention they crave every single day. We try to buy new toys for our little fur kiddos every month. Our apartment is open for them to run and play with each other. Hazardous chemicals such as windex, and Clorox etc. are put away where the fur balls cannot access them. I brush them both once a week and the most stinky part, the litter gets scooped once a day every day!! As for dogs, I love taking care of them, many of my family members have dogs that I love to play with and wear out. If I had a dog of my own I would be playing outside with them for hours a day but making sure they are happy and healthy by paying attention to their needs and emotions.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fairbanks on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fairbanks. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fairbanks.

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 walker 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
