“Danielle was fantastic, very trustworthy and responsible, communicative and friendly. She took great care of our dogs and our home and I would definitely book her again!”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I have hands on experience from taking care of friends’ and extended families’ pets. However I have the most experience caring for my best friend’s family dog, Cody, whenever they travel out of town. I stay in their home so Cody can remain comfortable in his familiar environment and keep his normal routine. My responsibilities have included regular walks, feeding on his usual schedule, giving medication on schedule, and helping with his everyday hygiene, such as wiping his paws after walks and cleaning him up after he goes to the bathroom. I’m comfortable paying attention to the little details that help a dog feel happy, clean, safe, and cared for. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and willing to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and preferences, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate different routines, including walks and drop-ins. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and needs. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home, where I can keep their pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow their usual routines while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I also make sure their home is kept clean and cared for while they are away.
“Iulia is a wonderful, caring person who did a fantastic job watching Bella over the 2017 New Years holiday. She was a lifesaver when we had air travel delays and had to extend for a day. Weve found both a Bella AND family friend. THANKS!”
“Eli took great care of Kona and our house while we were away. He was very responsive before our trip, and sent great updates while he was staying with Kona. We look forward to him dog and house sitting for us again soon.”
“Stephanie was fantastic with my sweet and spicy Cattle Dog. Went above and beyond, kept me informed with great photos, cleaned up and washed bedding (didn’t have to). I’ll definitely use her again!”

“He’s the best! Followed all of our instructions and took amazing care of our far babies. One of our dogs has severe allergies and he would change her onesies daily to check her skin and give us updates. A+++”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, and attention. I also have experience administering medications and following specific feeding, medication, and care routines. I’m very active and spend much of my free time hiking, walking, and exploring outdoors, so I’m especially happy caring for dogs who love longer walks and plenty of activity. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my day. I’m available for morning, daytime, and evening walks or drop-ins, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests as well. Since I travel full-time, I spend several weeks at a time in each area and keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always know when I’m local and available. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure everything is secure, clean, and comfortable before I leave. I also believe communication is a huge part of earning your trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
“Sam is absolutely amazing! She cared for my dog Spaghetti like he was her own, and when I came back, he didn’t even want to leave her. He was happily exhausted and clearly so loved. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Kristen was everything we could have hoped for and more for our fur pups while we were away. I am always nervous leaving them but she had the best communication sending videos and pictures with updates. I could tell that they were happy and well cared for. We came home to a very clean house and pups and we will definitely be asking for Kristen again. Thank you for the best time for us all during our vacation. :)”
“Awesome is every way. Patricia was super attentive and caring and Sadie had a great time. Our house was in better shape than when we left. She is a star. If you need a sitter - she is the one.”
“Christie was wonderful with our dog and kitten! She responded quickly when we were looking for a last minute house sitter. She was very respectful of our home and the routines of our pets and made sure they were well loved while we were away. She left the house in excellent condition and sent photos with updates along the way. We felt confident knowing our pets were well taken care of on our vacation. Thanks Christie!”
“This is our first time using rover and Sam made it a positive experience from the time i contacted her and through the meet and great and the entire sit. We had to adjust our start time couple of times but she was very flexible with that, we really appreciate her for understanding. The Sit went very smooth as well, we got all the updates even before we asking with pictures :) Snow was very well taken care of, we could tell that once we reached home since he was not anxious at all. Overall Sam is great and we will be in touch soon for our next vacations :)”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether that’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just keeping them company. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I live an active lifestyle, so I’m happy to keep up with high-energy pups, but I also understand the importance of patience and calm for more relaxed or anxious dogs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels at home, even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! With my current work schedule, I have the flexibility to make time for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so incorporating pet care into my day is something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize being dependable, communicative, and making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, love, and quality time!

I make sure they get the right balance of playtime, attention, and calm energy depending on their personality. I’m also very respectful of your home, keep things clean, and provide regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“We had a fantastic experience with our Dustin! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and he kept us updated with amazing photos of Leo every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He took Leo to the park every day, gave him several long walks, and even spent time playing with him inside the house to keep him happy and engaged. It was clear that Leo was well cared for and getting plenty of attention and exercise. When we returned, the house was spotless, which was such a thoughtful bonus. We couldn't have asked for better care for Leo or our home. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”

Reshini is awesome! We can’t wait to have her back to dog-sit again. She took such amazing care of our sweet pup and our home while we were away. Her communication was wonderful, and getting regular pictures and updates gave us so much peace of mind and made our trip much less stressful. We highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
Karen was a great dog sitter for our new puppy. She immediately understood our concerns and reassured us with her calm, caring and professional demeanor. During the evening she sent photos and text updates. Birdie clearly liked being with her and trusted her. We would book her again and recommend her to others.
Alec did a fantastic job caring for our dog and cat while we were away for a week. Our dog has anxiety issues, so finding someone patient and reliable is especially important to us. Alec kept us updated and gave both pets excellent care and attention. We came home to two happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for furry babies. We would happily recommend Alec to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Shirlene took wonderful care of my dog, Barnaby, while we were away. She was great about sending updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. 🐶 I came home to a house that was actually cleaner and more organized than when we left! Barnaby was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned, which says everything. Shirlene went way above and beyond, and I would absolutely book with her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Fairbanks Ranch is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $109 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 7,159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairbanks Ranch. 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 Ranch 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 Ranch 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ranch 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 , 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 .
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
