“Danielle is fantastic! This is the second time Danielle has watched our dog - this time for almost two full weeks. We felt so comfortable leaving Sophia in Danielle's care, and our home was in excellent condition with a very happy dog when we returned. Danielle kept us constantly updated with many pictures of Sophia and we came home to a clean house with treats for us! Danielle goes above and beyond, and I highly recommend Danielle!”
“Ellyn was wonderful with Gretel on her overnight stay. Ellyn communicates well, operates like clockwork and was quick to win over my spirited 2-yr-old German Shepherd. I know Gretel was comfortable and happy with Ellyn while I was away because while she was excited to see me when I got home she wasn’t frantic. Gives me great peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking Ellyn again. Highly recommend.”
“Serena is the best! She’s so reliable and loved my dog like hers. She really took the time to get to know my pup and was so understanding of all his little quirks. Honestly, I think Tori fell in love with her! It’s such a relief finding someone who cares this much. We’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“First time Rover user, first time pet owner. I was very apprehensive about leaving my kitten with a stranger, but with travel plans already booked, I joined Rover and searched for a sitter. Though Madeline did not have a ton of reviews, her rate was extremely competitive and the reviews she did have, were very positive. So I jumped into the deep end and am very glad I went with Madeline. She lived fairly close by so it was easy to do a meet/greet and drop off my keys with her. She was very personable and my kitten warmed up to her very quickly at the meet/greet. She followed through on all her commitments, showing up on time and providing exceptional care to my kitten. She provided daily updates along with pictures. When my travel plans changed, Madeline was right there to assist us with Stoner's care. I would highly, highly recommend Madeline to take care of your loved one while you are away. I plan on using her again in the very near future and I am glad to have found someone I can rely on to care for my kitten. THANK YOU so much Madeline!!!!”
“Cary did an outstanding job taking care of our house and our energetic Cattle Dog! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring and responsible dog sitter!”
“Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!”
“Kaylan was an amazing sitter from start to finish! If my dogs could write this rating, I’m sure they’d give her 5 stars. She sent frequent updates, lots of pictures, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions whenever she needed clarification, which gave me peace of mind. She even took my pups on little adventures to explore new parks and treated them to pup cups, with permission of course! It’s obvious they were cared for, and got lots of love and attention while we were away at work. I came home to 2 happy pups and a cared for home. Would definitely recommend Kaylan for a reliable, caring sitter and happily booking her again!”
“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!”
“While I was away on my golf playing rounds, Eli looked after my dog wonderfully. Eli is such a kind and caring dog sitter. He treated my dog with so much love and attention, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’m so thankful for him warm heart and excellent care. Highly recommended!”
“Crystal was amazing! She helped us last minute and worked with our changing schedule. She did a good job of accommodating all of Roxxys needs. I can tell that Roxxy made a new friend! I would definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“Wendy was an amazing Rover sitter! She took wonderful care of our dog, Sandi, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with regular photos and thoughtful messages, which made it easy to see that Sandi was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Wendy also took excellent care of our home, leaving everything clean and in great condition. We truly appreciated her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Wendy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Marisol loved on my dogs like her own! She walked and played with them constantly and gave them lots of love. Couldn’t ask for a better communicator also sending me lots of pics. So appreciative of a caring pet taker. Definitely a good one Marisol 💕”
“Claudia was wonderful! Our pup is always a little nervous with new people but by day 2 she was snuggled up with Claudia. She sent frequent photos and updates, was great at keeping Kaya on her regular schedule, helped out with other household tasks and left the house clean. I appreciate knowing that Kaya is being well taken care of because it allows me to enjoy my vacation! Kaya will be looking forward to her next stay with Claudia.”
“Eliza was amazing with Hamachi. We recently adopted him and he has some separation anxiety. We wanted to go to a concert and it was our first time leaving him with a sitter. From the moment Eliza sat with him, he seemed at ease. Eliza is very personable, easy going, and caring. We enjoyed our date night knowing Hamachi was in good hands. We were running a little late coming home and Eliza stayed with him until we got back and was very flexible about it.”
“Mckinley did a great job taking care of our older lab and young one year old lab. She kept their routine and spent time at home with them so they could stay out and play. I was updated regularly and felt completely confident that they were happy and safe:)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairbanks Ranch
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.
Paige was absolutely wonderful with King! She took great care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks and attention, and kept me updated. King can be a strong dog, and it was clear she was confident and comfortable handling him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I truly appreciated the love and attention she gave him. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Paige again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and capable dog sitter!
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!
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!
Luciana was a blessing to me and my pup. She house/dog sat for me and took excellent care of Juliet. She followed instructions exactly as expected and left the house spotless. She sent me daily updates and photos so I knew all was well. She is trustworthy and dependable. I highly recommend Luciana.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairbanks Ranch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fairbanks Ranch on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,190 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.
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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
