About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 30+ years as a professional dog trainer, combined with my calm, compassionate approach to animal care. I specialize in reading canine body language, helping pets feel safe and secure. I also have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs with special needs, ensuring they receive the right balance of exercise, patience, and gentle attention. My availability is very adaptable, offering flexibility throughout both weekdays and weekends. With at least one week’s advance notice, I can easily accommodate your scheduling needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with the same love and attention I gave my own. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm environment, ensuring their comfort and safety at all times. With my background in dog training, I’m skilled at reading canine body language, which helps me provide reassurance and reduce stress while their family is away.

“Ed took such great care of my cat, Whisky! He sent lots of photos and videos of playtime. Whisky even sat in Ed’s lap which was a shocker because he’s not usually a lap cat. Thanks for also making the time for a meet and greet before the drop in! Will definitely be reaching out to Ed the next time I need someone to check in on Whisky.”

“Jessica was great!! She communicated well and responded quickly. She reminded me to make sure she had access to the pets before I left. I came home to a sweet note and happy and healthy animals. Her pictures and care card where thorough, letting me know they were in good hands while I was away. Would definitely book her again!!”

About: I have always LOVED dogs (maybe more than people lol)! Growing up, we always had dogs in our family, starting with a chocolate Lab, followed by a Maltese-Shih Tzu who had Addison’s disease and required regular medication and extra care. Today, our family dog is an adorable Shih Tzu-Yorkie-Poodle-Terrier mix who is basically a little black fluff ball! She lives with my parents, but I still consider her my own. 🐾 In addition to growing up with dogs, I volunteered at the Humane Society when I was younger, which gave me even more opportunities to spend time around animals and care for them. Although I don’t currently have any pets living with me, I have a lifetime of experience loving and caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love doggos and decided to join Rover because I’d love to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy while helping fellow dog parents feel confident that their pups are in good hands. Until I have a dog of my own again, I’d love to spoil yours with plenty of love, attention, and care! I’m a full-time attorney during the week, but my weekends are for the dogs! 🐾 I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on Saturdays and Sundays, so whether you’re out enjoying your weekend, heading to brunch, spending the day away, or just need an extra hand, I’ll be there to make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to being there when your dog is counting on me! Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up with dogs my entire life, including one with Addison’s disease who required regular medication and special attention, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry best friend. I know every dog has their own personality, preferences, and needs, and I’ll always tailor our walks to what makes your pup happiest and most comfortable. Whether they love a brisk, energetic walk or prefer a leisurely stroll with plenty of time to sniff and explore, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs! Safety is always my priority, so I’ll be attentive to your dog’s behavior, surroundings, and comfort level throughout our walks. I’ll also carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding leash handling, interactions with other dogs, and your pup’s normal routine. You can expect plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your weekend knowing your doggo is safe, happy, and getting lots of love and attention! 🐾

“Daisy took wonderful care of our two cats, Leaf and Nugget, for seven days while we were away. We reached out on fairly short notice, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. She was professional, reliable, and very kind throughout the entire week. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, which gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them as if they were her own. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend Daisy to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. We look forward to having her watch Leaf and Nugget again in the future!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and fish for friends and neighbors. I also have a kitty of my own! I used to provide regular walks M-F midday for a wonderful German Sheppard (the family has moved away). I offer calm, attentive care and will treat your pet with the same love and respect t I give my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands! I’m a therapist who typically works in the afternoons and evenings, which allows me to have open availability in the mornings/ midday. I’m available M-F 10:30am ish- 1pm ish. I am looking to provide regular week day walks on a consistent basis! Weekend availability is flexible- just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate :) I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine when caring for pets in their home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I take the time to help pets feel relaxed and secure. I’m attentive during walks and visits, ensure leaches and entry points are secure, and provide calm, loving care so pets feel safe and well cared for.

About: Hi there, I’m Reshini and I am a huge animal lover! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and could not imagine my life without them. I’ve been pet sitting for years with close friends and family members so I can say I have a good amount of experience with various types of dogs. I also have experience with at-home pet care, client-home pet care, drop-in visits and daily walks! If I have the chance of taking care of your fur baby, you can trust that I will be treating them like my own with lots of love! Whether it’s an early morning walk or a 2am pee break, I am always available throughout the day to take care of all your pets needs! Your pets will not be alone at any point and I will always make sure that their normal routine doesn’t differ. It will be like nothing has changed!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12. My family got our first puppy a few years ago, so I have also learned how to handle the young ones. My friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pups while they are away. I would be happy to help care for yours! My schedule is very flexible. I am currently looking for a full time position, so I spend most of my day at home job searching. Taking care of pups is a great balance for me. I have plenty of time to walk and play, and can be at available most of the day. I am happy to follow any schedules or rules that help create structure for your pup. As a walker, I do my best to encourage and maintain any leash training and other commands. If you are looking for a house sitter, I'd love to talk more about what your preferences are.

Alannah is very nice and very easy to communicate with. She took great care of our cat and went the extra mile to make sure he was happy and healthy! It is always stressful to be away from our furry friends, but Alannah gave detailed updates and we knew he was in great hands. We highly recommend Alannah!

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for our elderly kitty Talia! Leaving a senior pet in someone else’s care can be stressful, but from the very beginning Madison made us feel completely at ease. She is incredibly patient, attentive, and compassionate with our cat’s special needs and routines. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes that showed just how much love and attention our cat was getting while we were away. It was obvious they truly care about animals and understand the extra care and gentleness senior pets need. When we get home, our kitty is comfortable and clearly well cared for — which says everything! We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, reliable, and kind. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone, especially those with older pets who need a little extra TLC.

If you are looking for a kind, responsible, reliable, and professional sitter, I had her come over to primarily let my dog out to potty, but I also have two cats that she interacted with. I highly recommend Brenda. She was very detailed and clear on her availability for specific dates and times requested. She communicated when she arrived, documented the report card in Rover a long with a picture and let me know when she was leaving and that she locked the door when leaving. I will definitely reach out to Brenda again for future support.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fairbanks Ranch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairbanks Ranch is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $38 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 10,351 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairbanks Ranch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
