Louisa and her partner came to stay for a long weekend to mind our dog Marmie and kitten Minxie. They were so wonderful and we would happily have them back anytime! We got lovely photos of all the adventures that they took marmie on and she was so tired when we got back!

Sienna took great care of my house for 3 days. I have a large property with lots of plants, a large dog, and two cats. Everything was in tip top shape when we came home and she took so many cute pics of the animals. We will definitely trust her with our house and our fur babies again!

Josh is the first home & dog sitter we've ever used and he's set the bar incredibly high for anyone we work with in the future! During the booking process, Josh was friendly and quick to respond. He kept us updated on how things were going while we were away, and we came home to happy pups and an immaculately clean home. Thank you so much for your great service Josh! Looking forward to working with you again in the future!

We had an excellent experience with Caitlyn. Caitlyn watched our ~2 year-old highly energetic pup Louie for an entire evening. Louie can get a bit anxious in our absence, but with Caitlyn’s warm and comforting presence, he settled down in no time. Caitlyn was very responsive and communicative throughout her stay. I would highly recommend Caitlyn and look forward to working with her again!

About: I have been grateful to care for other pets on Rover since May 2023. I have taken care of friends and families pets throughout the years.I. Been a fur baby mom to a wonderful dog and cat and fully understand how wonderful they are and need to be loved when your away. I was the one with separation anxiety when I would have to travel without them. I want to alleviate that for you. I had to let my 19 year old shih tzu cross over the rainbow bridge. Being a senior with a heart murmur and bad hips. I learned how to adjust to his needs. Carrying him up and down the stairs, up and down to the bed and walks with a pet stroller to help him with his quality of life. Not once do I regret that and would help any pet feel that love again. He taught me how to be the best fur baby mom for other fur babies. I have a flexible schedule to care for your fur baby and I can be there for your pet. I have a full time job with a couple of remote days. I have a small patio with a doggy door insert for my slider, I can put in. I allow pets on furniture and give updates with pics when your away. I am close to park for walking.

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.

Brandie stayed at my house for 4 days with my dog and 3 cats. She left the house in great condition and even watered my plants and brought in my mail. She is a natural with animals. My dog developed a tight connection with her and she did a great job taking care of him even in the very warm weather. She was great with the cats as well; playing with them and tending to their needs. I appreciate that she kept the dog and cats apart as they do not like each other. I highly recommend Brandie for your pet sitting and dog walking needs.

Currently, I live on my mother’s farm with two cats and have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and ages, from newborns to seniors.

I work Monday-Thursday as a lead dental assistant. Monday-Wednesday I work 8am-9pm. However, Friday-Sunday I can very flexible. Hopefully my schedule can fit with the days you’re looking for.

About: Hi furry parents! I have helped countless family members and friends with pet-sitting. My family has had dogs, cats and birds ever since I was 3. I'm looking forward to spending more time with animals and will care for them like my own! We can work out whatever system is best for you and your pets comfort and needs-whether that's multiple walks a day or rest time for older pets. I have been known to be attentive to animals energy. Whether they are annoyed, playful, curious, not feeling well or ready for a W-A-L-K I anticipate to open myself up to their mood! I hope you'll consider me for reliable care for your pets :) In accordance with my availability I will be nearly free while I am furloughed. More time with your pets for walks, medicine, cuddles, whatever your pet seems to need. :) At the time I am only available for in-house pet sitting in your home. I'll be sure to pre-negotiate where in your home I am permitted and where you would like to keep your privacy. I'll be sure to be respectful and abide by your guidelines always.

About: My love for animals began as a child and while I’m a nurse in profession my true passion is caring for our furry friends! My home is warm and safe. I’m physically capable of and used to walking dogs of all sizes. I understand that pets are family and it is my top priority to keep them safe. In addition, I also respect ones privacy and home. Your home will be treated as such and protected by ensuring doors shut and locked completely. I mind my business and give your animals the love and attention they deserve. I get to do what I love and get paid for it, your animals are happy and you have peace of mind....it’s a win win situation :-) I am a stay at home mom. So I am present majority of the time. A typical day would consist frequent potty breaks, water/meal, walks and socializing at the dog parks. I provide loving attention, direction and care. I have two dog parks in my apartment complex to enjoy as well as a trail. Animals are always treated like family in my care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairbanks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 838 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairbanks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fairbanks walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fairbanks maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairbanks. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
