“Joanne was always timely and did a great job caring for the 3 cats. Meal times are difficult as we have one cat who is very food-driven and will eat the other cats portions of given the chance, and another cat who prefers eating at a more leisurely pace. But Joanne figured it out and provided great care to all. We got photos of the cats in all their favorite perches and detailed reports on their activity. Highly recommended.”
“If you have a pet you love, Krista is the bomb!! She came in and loves my Kala like she’s her own!! She sends me so many pics of my happy girl and I’m so glad I took a shot with her!!”
About: I have lived with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and rodents my entire life, and currently have two dogs, two cats, and a leopard gecko. 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: I have lots of experience caring for animals - dogs and cats. I grew up caring for dogs and and cats. I currently live with one cat, but have lived with many cats throughout the years. At one time, I lived with four cats while attending university classes and had a blast learning all of their personalities and caring for them. These days, I often pet-sit for family members and friends when they are busy or traveling. Although I do not have any pets (while I am finishing my degree), I plan to adopt a dog when I graduate. Right now, I have an open schedule and am very flexible. I care for pets by adhering to their feeding schedules, walking schedules, etc. Right now, I live with one cat and I often feed him a couple times a day (when my roommate can't) and I take time out to play with him daily. I care for pets in my client's home by tending to their food schedules, medication schedules, and walking schedules. If I am cat-sitting, I also make certain to clean their litter boxes regularly. Safety comes first, so I always make certain to adhere to any details that are left by my clients and make certain to constantly check in on pets. I also believe that communication with my clients is essential in safety, trust, and environment.
“Hope is a very nice and responsible sitter. My dogs love her. One of my dog Vishaka is stranger unfriended. But she gradually accepted and love her. She begged her to pet the last few sitting days. Hope messaged me and sent pictures everyday during the sitting. Thanks to Hope, my family were able to enjoy the vacation and no worries of the dogs.”
“This was the first time we have left both of our boys so I was nervous about it. From the first visit, I knew Emma was going to excel at taking care of them. Her experience coupled with how much she cares made for the perfect experience. I am so grateful we found her for our boys!! They were so well looked after. Emma is a competent sitter and we can’t wait to continue to utilize her to watch our sweet boys.”
“We did drop-in services and Rhonda was amazing! I have a very high energy, needy dog and I am a very anxious dog owner, Rhonda was so communicative and always sent updates. We were so happy with her and would highly recommend.”
“My first time trying Rover, and Veronica was great! Made it easy to schedule, was right on time, and, judging from the wiggly photos, my puppy loved her. A huge relief, to have someone able to take care of my dog while I was out of town, on fairly short notice. Thank you!!”
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fairbanks on Rover is $17.12 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 124 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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.
