“Denice is clearly an animal lover and my dogs clearly knew they were among friends. Introduced them to other animals appropriately and my pups seemed happy and healthy at pickup. I was worried they'd be sad because they are used to sleeping in bed with me and would be in kennels but they did really well and she worked to figure out what they specifically needed as she got to know them.”
“Madelyn is such a great find! My dog George loved her, her house, her family! And he looked so good, healthy and happy after his stay with her. She was perfect in communications — quick, responsive and informative. We loved the pictures she sent. I can depend on her care 100% and look forward to working with her again.”
“Amanda was amazing! From the meet and greet, to updates, to a seamless drop off and pick up—it was so clear she really cared for Rhubarb while we were away. Would be so happy to have her watch Rhubarb again.”
“Jennifer and her partner did a wonderful job watching my 6 month old Gracey for 8 days. She received lots of play time and socialization with different dogs and I received daily updates - Win Win! This was her first big adventure and I think she loved it! I plan to use Jennifer again should the need arise.”
“Tina was excellent at taking care of my partially paralyzed dog (recovering from a moose attack). My dog looked so happy in every photo she sent, playing with dogs, hanging out outside, and lots of swimming (the only thing she can really do independently right now). She has a great area and setup. I will definitely trust her with taking care of my dog again!”
“I couldn't say enough wonderful things about Giuliana and her lovely family! My husband and I had just moved from NC (our plane landed that day!) and our previous boarding plans for our dog fell through as we were traveling. Like everyone, our dog is family and we only want the very best for her. I was already an anxious mess from having to fly with our dog crated in the cargo hold. (We considered driving from NC to AK just for Sophie's benefit, but soon realized that was unrealistic.) After 10+ hours of travel, Giuliana was the perfect choice for us and Sophie. She was so flexible, patient, and understanding (especially considering we contacted her just a few hours earlier during our layover in Seattle). For the 2 days that Sophie stayed at her house she was in constant contact with me and sending plenty of pictures and videos. Knowing that Sophie was with a loving, attentive family -- going for hikes, getting tons of belly rubs and cuddles -- made our transition from NC to AK a whole lot easier than expected. We usually like to take Sophie with us on any adventures/trips/vacations but, if for any reason we aren't able to, we will most certainly rebook with Giuliana!”
“Amazing. Our dog was so happy and loved Karissa’s pup! Klarissa was super communicative and sent multiple cute photos each day. Would definitely recommend!”
“Elysia did a wonderful job with taking care of my Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town! I received updates daily about how he was doing with pictures and videos. Definitely recommend!”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“Jennifer is super attentive and kind. She paid great attention with my dog and has kept me updated with lots of photos. I highly suggest her to anyone and has my greatest regards.”
“Summer watched my labradoodle for a few weeks and it went great. She sent occasional photos. His blanket was washed when I picked him up. Dog was happy and we are happy.”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful and incredibly accommodating when I needed a last-minute sitter to travel out of state for a funeral. She went above and beyond by sending daily photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She and her husband even took our fur baby out for pup cups (after asking permission), which was such a thoughtful touch. It was clear from the start that they cared for our dog as if she were their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.”
“Joseph was taking care of Nikita when his hip injury unexpectedly worsened and did such a wonderful and caring job of both taking care of Nikita and communicating with me. He is te perfect sitter you would want for your pet, truly.”
About: I am a reliable caregiver for pets, growing up with dogs and now having cats of my own. I know the feeling of leaving my pets alone and want to ensure that you have comfort knowing your own will be taking care of according to your request. During the week, I am happy to let dogs out or take them on a walk after my work hours. I am flexible for house sitting, potty breaks, and walks on the weekends Friday night through Mondays. From the type of feed, to the comfort of my animals, it is my priority to ensure their environment is stress free, yet entertaining. I commit to doing the same for you when servicing your requests.
“This was our second time using Ralph for an overnight stay, and both pups were happy and well-cared for. It is such a relief to find someone they feel safe and comfortable with. Now with two visits under our belt, we are booked for a longer stay. I highly recommend Ralph!”
“I really appreciate Becky and her family for taking such great care of my dog while I was out of town! Becky was super flexible and willing to keep her for an extra day when I needed- thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Knik-Fairview
I am a 1st time user of this app and also trusting a virtual stranger with my baby boy who would be in an environment completely different than anything he has ever known in his little doggie life. And he has never Not slept in a bed with someone before so that was worrying more for me than him, esp when I had to leave for my job and walked out the door and could hear him crying. However Denise didn't look at me like I was crazy when I demonstrationed his feeding or his play and how to keep him focused on her and not distracted by the horses he desperately wanted to play with and was a bit fixated on lol. She sent me regular updates a couple pictures and a couple fetching videos, so this relieved my tension in him being here with her. Highly recommend. And will board with her anytime I have work in the valley from here on out

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Knik-Fairview can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Knik-Fairview home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Knik-Fairview.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Knik-Fairview. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Knik-Fairview sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
