“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”
“Emmett had a lovely day with Michelle - lots of playing outside and resting inside when it got too hot outside. Michelle was fantastic, will contact her for dog sitting again.”
“Heidi loves staying with Amy and Justin! She gets so excited she’ll start crying and jumping in the car as soon as we turn down their street. I always get updates with photos of how she is doing and she always looks very happy :) I know she’s in good hands every time she stays with them.”
“Jena was more than amazing. She made Noelle's day. In fact, Noelle feel in love with her family within days. Jena would constantly update us with photos and updated news of Noelle. I highly recommend anyone who is a dog lover to book with Jena. I know that I will book with Jena in the future. I can't say enough about Jana. Thank you so much from Frank & Elesia. Noelle will miss you guys.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our furbaby. Chico (8 month old puppy) can be a handful and she treated him with so much care, staying in communication with us throughout and sending pictures/updates too. It was his first time truly away from home or around multiple dogs at once and she set our minds at ease the entire time. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter whether it was for just a day or an extended stay.”
“Danielle is the best! She is friendly, kind & hospitable. We did a meet & greet a few days before my dog’s scheduled drop off. She welcomed us in her home with her dog and we got acquainted. Her home is cute and comfortable. Danielle was a great communicator and even sent me a couple of photos during my dogs stay with her which helped alleviate some of my kids apprehension about our dog being with a new sitter. I know my dog was under the best of care and we will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended. 💕”
“We had an amazing experience with Minaa & Jason! Our dog came back so happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We loved receiving the thoughtful daily texts and photo updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“So very highly recommended!!! Our puppy loves being in their home and receives the best care. The pictures and communications we get while we’re away is such a special touch!”
“Yet another 10/10 experience with having Sara watch my big, rambunctious pup! Great communication, attention to detail, and tons of fun and engaging activities with my guy, who returned home very happy and tired from all of the good play time. Sara is definitely my go-to going forward!”
“We are so relieved to have a smart, reliable family... to watch our Haru when we're away. They kept me updated throughout Haru’s stay. We highly recommend Mike and Patricia!”
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
“Claire is a Fantastic dog sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. My dog Lily truely enjoyed two walks a day during the staying. I know from the daily picture Claire sent to me that my dog was relax, happy and well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and other pets and truly enjoy being around animals. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I have a flexible schedule and can make pet care a priority throughout my day. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, including longer stays when needed. I will make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Safety and trust are very important to me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and home security. I will keep the home clean and secure and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well.

“Taylor took such amazing care of my puppy Midas! He is a golden retriever puppy and a lot to handle but she did such a great job. She is accommodating, easy going and cares so well for your puppy. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Last year I was stressed to go on vacation because my puppy had never slept alone in his life. I found Michelle on here and did a meet and greet, and immediately knew she was perfect for my pup. It was relief knowing that she was available this year when I went on vacation again. I receive daily happy photos, and Banzai comes home well-behaved. She has plenty of experience with dogs and truly loves to spend time with them. She has a nice fenced in back yard so the dogs can safely go outside anytime. She is very easy to contact and flexible with my schedule.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 503 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fairbanks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Fairbanks can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fairbanks home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fairbanks.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairbanks. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Fairbanks sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
