“We had such a great experience! Communication was easy, and we loved getting updates and pictures while we were away. It was so nice knowing our pups were in good hands and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to happy and tired dogs, which is always the best sign! Would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Kym is so kind-hearted. We loved getting picture updates of our pup playing in the backyard and lounging on the sofa. We knew our fur child was in good hands and well cared for!”
“Milo had a great time and was taken care of exactly as his medical needs required. We appreciate the flexibility with his pickup and will certainly return if we need boarding again.”
“Leaving our dog with Mikayla was incredibly successful! He’s a Labrador and very attached to people. He really needed a family that was available to give him lots of time and attention. Mikayla was great about sending us updates and we do much appreciate Mikayla and her family! Overall, a tremendous experience!”
“Wally had a great stay at Mae’s house. They took excellent care of him. He got to go on walks everyday and had a dog bed in their living room waiting for him. Being with people is his favorite thing. We got updates and photos. Knowing he was so happy made our weekend getaway to see grandkids stress free. We will definitely request a future stay.”
“Here’s a warm, concise Rover review: We had a great experience! She was so sweet and caring with Cocopuff and was very flexible with our travel schedule. We even forgot to pack his food, and she was incredibly accommodating and made everything easy. We felt he was in great hands and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha took care of Trapper like he was one of her own! Trapper was very well cared for, given lots of attention and love, and was very happy to stay with her. She kept us informed, sent pictures and videos of him, and was absolutely fantastic! I will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and my fiancé and I have had our own pets for 6 years now. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, but I am here to help in any way I can. I have two cats and two dogs of my own which means I have experience with puppies and kittens, and with things like giving medications as well. I will care for your pets as if they were my own 😊 I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, however, my fiancé and I have worked potty breaks into our schedules. One of us comes home every day for a mid-day potty break for our own pets, and we would be happy to include your pets as well. We have a big yard and decent space inside for your pets. Our pets are allowed on our couch and they usually hang out with us; it would be no different for your pets. We have space to set up a crate if needed and we even have a few crates available so you don’t have to haul yours around. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs with you!
“Daisy had the best time with Michelle and her family. I got lots of updates and pictures, which put my mind ant ease, and I could tell Daisy settled right in and became part of their family. Daisy is an only dog who isn’t much for playing with other dogs and she got along just fine with Michelle’s dog. She made herself right at home. I 100% will be using Michelle again next time we need someone to watch Daisy. Thank you Michelle and family! 💜”
“Justin & Amanda were wonderful with Dugan & I could tell he had a super fun time at their house! They are also very easy to work with, being quick to respond & sending updates & photos while we were away!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over a decade. As a child and young adult I had my lab/pit mix. Since then I have dog and house sat for family and friends. I absolutely love all dogs! I currently have two rescue cats who are brother and sister. I absolutely adore them and have used rover before to ensure they got taken care of while I was on vacation. I really appreciate the service and hope to help others! Early mornings before 8:00AM Mon-Thur Lunch hour 12:00-1:00PM Mon-Thur Evenings after 5:00PM Mon-Thur All day Friday-Sun I have a great schedule to take care of all your fur babies! I have a yard and dog park where your fur baby can run and go potty. Cats and dogs are so fun to hangout with if you need someone to check on them, feed, and take for walks.
About: We shared 14 wonderful years with our dog, Zoey, and have also cared for friends’ and family’s dogs. Caring for Zoey as she grew older gave us the experience with oral medications, arthritis, hearing and vision changes, slower walks and nighttime potty breaks, As a Registered Nurse, I bring patience, attention to detail, and a caring nature. We recently lost Zoey and aren’t ready for another dog of our own, but we have so much love to give. We welcome one dog at a time, with a special soft spot for seniors. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will have company for most of the day. We’ll work their usual meals, potty breaks, walks, and medications into our routine, with plenty of time for snuggles and rest. We’ll welcome only one day at a time and can accommodate nighttime potty breaks. We may occasionally both be out for 1-2 hours for errands or family activities, so we’ll discuss your dog’s comfort with alone time before booking. We welcome one dog at a time into our home, with no resident pets, so your pup can settle in at their own pace. We follow your instructions for meals, medications, exercise, and bedtime to keep things familiar. Our yard has a six foot fence, and your dog will have a quiet, child free space to rest. Dogs are welcome on furniture and can sleep in our bedroom if that’s what they’re used to. There are stairs to the yard, so we’ll discuss mobility needs before booking. Our children are comfortable with dogs, and we supervise their interactions. We’ll also send daily photos and updates so you can see how your puppy is settling in.
“Sent a lot of great pictures. Communicated back to me quickly. Was very active with my dog and took her swimming, on hikes, to the park, etc. 10/10. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
About: I have owned several dogs in my life. I have helped trained multiple dogs for special need accommodations. I often take care of friends dogs and horses when needed, and have experience handling anything from small dogs to large farm animals. I would love to take dogs on walks and am skilled in training dogs if that something you are looking for. I take boarding where I have a big fenced yard. I do have a cat, but she has room to roam downstairs and to be outside so the dog and cat would never have to interact. Because I work a professional Monday-through-Thursday schedule, my weekends are completely cleared and dedicated to pet care. I am entirely off from Friday through Sunday, meaning my schedule revolves 100% around making sure your pup has a fantastic weekend getaway of their own while you are away! Safety and peace of mind are the absolute foundation of my boarding service. Because I only host one guest dog at a time, your pup receives my full, undivided attention in a highly controlled, secure, and loving environment.

As of November 2026, there are 270 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.
95% 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
- 95% 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 WA 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.
