“Great experience with Danielle. Our spaniel is a sweet skittish boy and I have a "list" of items for people when watching him. She took it in stride and followed every item . She was wonderful ,coming to meet him again before the house sit since it had been a while since original meet/ greet. Great consistent communication and pics throughout and detailed followup once we returned home. I felt very safe and relieved with Danielle taking care of our guy. Thank you!!”
“Bob was very conscientious and communicative during his stay with my two dogs. My dogs are both Seniors with health issues, and Bob was able to administer oral medications around the clock. He took Buster out for lots of walks and followed instructions to have Shelby join him for short trips outside around the property. If he had questions, he reached out to me, which I appreciated. We felt our home was safe with Bob here, and everything was in order when we arrived home. Stacey R.”
“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!”
“Becky is fantastic! My dog, Clark, is my world and I am always anxious about leaving him in someone else’s care. This was the first time I had no worries. Becky sent pictures and updates, and I was able to enjoy my trip without worry. Highly recommend!”
“Josette was amazing with our sweet, anxious and at times stubborn boy. It was our first time using a professional sitter and we’re so glad we did! It was clear when we got home that she and Buster had bonded. Josette was conscious about adhering to his daily routine and sent pictures of our happy boy to give us peace of mind. We look forward to using her again in the near future!”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Jordan was amazing!!! Sophie and Rita loved her and she took such good care of them...and our home. We so appreciated her being flexible during the holidays and keeping us posted on how the dogs were doing. Loved the pictures! We definitely recommend Jordan and will use her again.”
About: Got a senior dog? Or a 12-week old puppy? I’ve sat them all! I have a lot of experience with senior dogs, including my own chocolate lab River, who sadly passed at 12 years old earlier this year. On top of caring for my own senior dog, I have cared for other senior dogs. I am comfortable administering oral medication, eye drops, clipping nails, and feeding and potty schedules. I have also pet sit puppies before and understand how important nap time is for a growing pup. Plus, tiring them out before their owners get home 😆. I work full time in a hybrid environment. I typically will work at my pet sitting location during the day. In days I go in the office, I can offer a lunchtime drop in visit for stays that are longer. Typically I won’t schedule pet sitting services for my in office days ( Tuesday and wednesdays). I’m pretty flexible otherwise. I am the type of pet sitter that loves a schedule and sticks to it. Needs medication at 6? Done. I love sending updates and photos to my pet owners throughout the day and check in if I notice anything out of normal behavior. I like to typically meet the pet before my stay begins so they are familiar with me beforehand.
“Amanda is a rockstar. Our pup had unexpected GI issues while we were away and Amanda kept us up to date on her health while tackling the fallout from the GI issues with kindness and compassion and still ensuring we came back to a clean home. We cannot thank her enough!”
About: I have raised and cared for pets most of my life. Primarily with dogs and cats, however I have also cared for iguanas, turtles and more. Our pets are our family, I know how hard it is to leave them so let me help fill this time for you. I work from home and arrange my own schedule so I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Let’s connect to see how I can be of assistance. I have a loving pup at home that loves having friends over. Can allow your pet to roam free or crate, whatever you feel more comfortable with. Also more than happy to offer drop in visits, walks or stay with your pet in their own home.
“Jeremiah accepted our request for caring for our pets just a few days prior to us leaving town. He offered a meet and greet the day before caring for our dog and cat. He was promptly on time, prepared with treats and questions, and easy to communicate with. Throughout our trip he sent ample updates, checked in with our preferences for pet cat, and took our dog on numerous adventures. He even hosed and brushed our *very* fluffy dog after a beach adventure. Our dog is blissed out and snuggly. He also took good care of our off standish cat who loves to hide and escape. We’d absolutely work with Jeremiah again and appreciate his care of our home and pets.”
“I highly recommend Luke to take care of your furry family. Our dog is wary of strange men at the outset but she warmed up to Luke very quickly. This was our first vacation away from her since we rescued her so we weren't sure how she'd handle the change in caretakers but she did better than I expected. Luke was responsive and sent daily pics and updates. He was also great at watching our house for us while we were out of town. Thanks Luke!”
“Rachel is very experienced with dogs, especially large dogs. Ours is particular; Rachel got down on her level at their first meeting, and it was all good from there on! She kept us updated with photos and notes during her stay. I will definitely call Rachel the next time we need a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for the last 13 years! Throughout my life I’ve owned and adopted 3 dogs, as well as serving as my friends/family go to sitter! I am extremely responsible and absolutely love all animals! I am self employed, so my hours are very flexible and I can easily fit work in around pet sitting needs/hours! My schedule is very easy to adjust and change according to the needs of each day. I can easily care for your pet in uour home, as I understand sometimes pets are more comfortable in a familiar environment. I am very timely so will always be there on time for feeding and walking or check ins/play time.
“Lauren is just THE BEST!!! It’s always hard & nerve wrecking leaving your fur babies, but I can genuinely say Lauren took such amazing care of them and was always sending pictures of them, it put our minds right as ease. She totally spoiled them and we can tell our cat & dog loved her! She even cleaned our place and left it looking way better than when we left! I can’t recommend Lauren enough, and coming from an overly paranoid pet parent I can confidently say she treated them like her own & I wouldn’t want anyone else taking care of our fur babies! Trust me, she’s the best!”
“Amazing pretty much sums up our experience with Jess. Her gentle kindness and thoughtful caring were evident from the first time we met her and were consistent through our three weeks away. She was focused on Hijo's physical and mental well being and we couldn't have been more grateful to have her taking care of him and our home while we were away.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fairbanks Ranch is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairbanks Ranch
Reshini took such wonderful care of our pets, Carson and Chicklet, while we were away. Not only did she provide excellent care and attention to them, but she also handled an unexpected issue with our smoke detectors and electrical system with incredible patience and professionalism. What could have been a stressful situation was managed calmly and efficiently, and we truly appreciated her flexibility and positive attitude throughout. It gave us great peace of mind knowing that both our pets and our home were in such capable hands. Thank you, Reshini, for going above and beyond! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. 🐾❤️
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fairbanks Ranch is $68 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $106 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.

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.
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 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.

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.
