“In the days of people being flaky and irresponsible, what a relief and joy it is to have found Danielle!!! I knew from the initial prompt response from her that she was going to be a rare find!!! I have an 80 lb Pitbull that I pulled from Lancaster Animal Shelter in March. He is a great dog but strong and intimidating looking. I had a friend spending the night but I needed someone to walk him and hang out with him. He had so much fun with Danielle and got exactly the activity he needed! She did alot of enriching activities with him and I SOOOO appreciated the photos and vids and updates of how she left him (ie where the water was with pics, he was out in the house or in the office, etc). She made my international trip so much more relaxing and less stressful knowing he was being well cared for! I have already booked her again and will most certainly continue to use her in the future!!!”

“A.J. is legit the best . He’s very communicative and quick to respond to any messages. He gets along great with my dog , who can be a bit naughty at times during her walks. Would give him 10 stars if possible.”

About: I’ve been loving and taking care of my own pets since day one of my life. This set me on the path for success when it came the time to take care of family’s pets and friends pets when needed and keeping them happy and healthy! Pet care works perfectly into my daily routine. I love taking pets on walks and getting exercise with them, and they keep me company as much as I can keep them happy! I have a nice fenced out door area for my own pets, and I keep them on a leash when we walk. It is very safe and fun.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly can’t imagine life without animals. I grew up on a cattle ranch surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From raising puppies to loving senior dogs through their golden years, I’ve experienced every stage and I cherish them all. I grew up with two Labradors and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I currently have an 8 yr old rescue chiweenie from Mexico and a 13 yr old goldendoodle. Caring for a senior dog has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care. For the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with 2 local dog rescues which has given me extensive experience with all types of dogs including those who are reactive, anxious or strong leash pullers. I’m comfortable administering medication and always approach each dog with a calm and loving energy. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe and completely loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and jogs, or prefers slow sniff filled strolls or cozy cuddle time at home, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative and I’ll always keep you updated with lots of photos and messages so you feel connected and at ease. My goal is to become your go-to, trusted dog walker and someone your dog gets genuinely excited to see! I truly love dogs so much and I can’t wait to meet yours 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be fully present during my time with dog. I'm available weekday or weekend care. Safety and trust are everything to me. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can care for them just like you would. On walks, I stay alert and mindful, with experience handling reactive or strong leash pullers, always prioritizing their safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent while making sure water is full, feeding routines are followed, and medications are given if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for ◡̈

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.

About: I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one. Depending on the day I may be available throughout the morning/afternoon/evening. Generally house sitting is available every day. Weekend availability varies but I can be accommodating based on scheduling requirements. I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.

About: I have had dogs since the day I was born, and every other pet imaginable! Neighbors, friends, and family have often relied on me to take good care of their loved furry friends. I have fostered over 15 dogs, including puppies and senior dogs. I am very comfortable administering medicine and giving lots of love! I work from home full time and am eager for some puppy love and companionship throughout the day! I would love to hang with your furry friends. Personally, I would treat your animals just like my own. Always watch them, or keep them on a leash outside (depends on your preference), make sure they always have water and get fed the appropriate amount each day, and of course give them lots of love!

About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and have been the designated dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always checking in on pups, taking them for walks, and giving them lots of love. I’ve also spent plenty of time caring for dogs overnight while their owners were out of town. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own and love getting to know their unique personalities. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup, whether they need a walk, a quick check-in, or someone to stay with them while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work full time remotely in HR and love traveling and exploring new places! I’ve always loved dogs and have wanted one of my own for years, but with my current travel lifestyle, now isn’t the right time. Dog sitting and walking feels like the perfect way to spend time with pups, get some extra steps in, and make a little extra money to put toward my travels. I’d love to give your pup some love and attention! I’m a responsible, respectful, and trustworthy person who will treat your home and pets with the same care I would my own. I’m very mindful of personal spaces, keep things clean and tidy, and always follow any instructions you provide. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, checking in on your pup, or spending more time in your home, you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and respectful hands.

About: I’ve home/pet sat, walked and cared for many animals and I even have my own two rescue kitties and a 2 year old corgi boy! I worked for the Virginia Maryland vet school for three years which included dogs, horses, pigs, cows and rodents. I love all animals and would be happy to care for your pet like they are my family! I can provide most services at any time as I work fully remote so I’m dedicated to even the most particular requests. (I myself have very spoiled and particular animals) Let me know how I can put your mind at ease when your pets are in my care! I work a full time job so I’m free for anything outside of 5-2 M-F. I can also do lunch time check ins most days as well! I’m happy to accommodate to whatever your pet needs. I have two cats with medical needs and grew up with just about every pet you can image so I can adapt to whatever!

Angelica is truly so amazing! Our pup Hamachi is not used to having someone come over to walk him without his paw-rents around so he’s been nervous, shy, hesitant, and territorial. Angelica has been patiently working with him to help him feel more comfortable and is so positive and flexible as he’s slowly warming up to her. She even hung out with him after his walk to help him feel more comfortable.

Edward has been such a blessing to have! He gives us so much peace of mind, especially when it comes to caring for our three-legged dog, Koa, who sometimes needs a little extra attention and special care. This past week, Edward cared for Koa as well as my sister’s French Bulldog, and we know firsthand that both can be a handful! He treated them with so much love, patience, and respect. His detailed, thoughtful report cards were the cherry on top and truly put our minds at ease while we were away. We are incredibly grateful to have found someone as responsible, attentive, and trustworthy as Edward. We hope everyone gets the opportunity to find a dog walker who has great common sense, genuinely loves what they do, and knows how to handle dogs with individual needs and personalities. We know Koa 🦁 absolutely loves him, and we can tell just by the excitement and way he reacts when Edward shows up for his walks. That says everything! We look forward to building a long-term relationship with Ed. Thank you for everything you do, Edward. We appreciate you more than you know! ❤️

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fairbanks Ranch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fairbanks Ranch is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 10,499 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fairbanks Ranch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Fairbanks Ranch. 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 Ranch after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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. 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.

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

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
