About: I am a Veterinary Student through UAF/CSU. I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have animals of my own. I am used to high maintenance animals, as my dog is one. I am currently full time in my Veterinary Program. Looking for weekend work just to make some extra cash. Love animals and would like to help those in the area. I will mostly be offering sitting/check-ins for your animals at your home! I have a dog of my own here who is friendly but likes to keep more to herself
“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!”
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.
“Rhonda saves the day once again! I have times I get called in to work and I’m away for several hrs. Levi loves to have Rhonda walk him or just drop-in when the weathers yucky. Thank you Ms Rhonda! 💕”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and consistency I bring to every pet like they’re my own. I don’t just “watch” pets, I actively engage with them, learn their routines, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training, including basic commands, potty training routines, and helping reinforce good habits like crate training and leash manners. I’m patient and consistent, which is key for younger dogs who are still learning. I’m also very comfortable with senior pet care. I understand that older pets often need extra attention, whether that’s administering medications, sticking to strict feeding schedules, helping with mobility, or just providing a calm, gentle environment. My goal is to make your pet feel as stress-free as possible and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am currently working full-time at a clinic, hours ranging from 8 am to 5 pm. I have most important holidays off. Able to do drop ins before and after work depending on distance. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always aim to keep pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I focus on creating a low-stress experience by maintaining their usual feeding schedule, potty routine, and favorite activities. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are always secure, and I’m very mindful about things like keeping harmful foods or small objects out of reach. I also keep their space clean. This includes refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or pet areas daily, and making sure everything stays sanitary and comfortable. I pay close attention to behavior and health, so if anything seems off, I’ll communicate right away. I’m also experienced with administering medications and following detailed care instructions exactly as given.
“The service i got was a week of walks. She showed up on time and followed all special instructions. She communicated well, sending pictures and following up if there was a question. One of my dogs is very old and has special needs and did great. I would definitely hire again.”
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 also have a very large fenced in yard for your pup to explore! 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.
“Kristen has been walking my Alaskan husky for the past few weeks. She’s been super communicative, reliable, and awesome at adapting to my dog’s individual quirks. My dog is particularly shy around new people, but Kristen’s great at trying different things to make him feel more comfortable. It’s clear that she’s skilled in reading and adapting to different dog behaviors.”
“Jodi has been our regular dog walker in town for many months. She is friendly, reliable, and loves the animals. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel safe with the person caring for their pets.”
About: I am very open and flexible schedule-wise, I don't mind getting up early if needed. I have experience with my own shitzu-poodle (Mocha), and my black cat (Gravy), as well as my neighbors various cats and dogs. I am a college student, so my only responsibility is to attend my classes. I have a lot of large gaps between/before classes where I can go let pets out for potty breaks, take them on a walk, give them food, etc,. I am very flexible. I have time to do multiple visits a day. I'm able to visit before classes, in between classes, and after. Any excuse to get out of my dorm is a good one 😅 I am more than willing to prepare food for pets, administer medications, or just spend some time with the pets if desired. Overall, I want to maintain a respectful and trusting relationship with clients.
“Eleanor was great with our two dogs and always considerate! She even went out of her way to clean up a mess they made and let me know how they were. Great communication overall!”
About: I have had many pets and cared for many more. Dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and also provide top care and respect for your fur babies & home once booked. Working on my fitness goals and playing with/walking your pets is a great way to get my steps in. I watch pets full time. So available full time just reach out and see if I can help you care for your fur children or fur children. I have a large none fenced yard I ask you bring leash, harness or collar along with food, toys and any relevant supplies for your pet.
“This was my first time ever using Rover, and needed someone to come help take care of my two dogs at a rental house. Not only did Sofia accept on a couple hours notice, but she went so so far above and beyond and went three seperate times to the house, followed instructions perfectly with no questions, and provided absolutely perfect care to my two dogs. She took them on a big walk, fed them dinner, let them out to play, and provided exceptional communication the whole time. I am so impressed and grateful that I was lucky enough to get Sofia’s help today. 10/10, a million stars, and massive tip for her coming. thank you so much, you are a bright star in a dark world.”

With flexible availability, I can accommodate your scheduling needs, whether it’s for a short getaway or a longer stay. I prioritize strong communication, keeping you updated with regular check-ins and photos. My focus on safety and my passion for providing a nurturing environment mean your furry family members will always be well looked after I have two young kids who ride the bus to school Monday through Friday. My day starts early around 7 AM and then getting the kids ready for school around 8 AM. Kids are gone from 845 until 4:10 PM. I am typically around the house, cleaning, doing yardwork or driving somewhere to go for a hike. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have 10 acres out in Fox with lots of clear land for puppies to run. I have a 12 week old pup myself who loves to play

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairbanks
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!

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fairbanks after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
