“Corey was absolutely amazing with our dogs and taking care of our home! Couldn’t ask for a better caretaker we would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat and will call him for our next need!”
“RaeAnna was so great! It was extremely helpful that she was available last minute, and then took such great care of my pup. She was timely, responsive, and sent very sweet updates.”
“Have absolutely no complaints! We were gone for 10 days leaving behind 3 animals and Heaven took amazing care of them. I had daily pictures of all three animals. We ran out of cat food, she got some and went above and beyond and even got a litter scooper. She is a rockstar and will be our go to from now on!”
“She did such an awesome job with our dogs and house while my little family was away! Very quick to respond and sent regular updates! My dogs can be a handful to new people but she loved them like her own :) the house also looks just like we left it! 10/10 will be booking with Hailey again !”
“Sterling was able to come semi last minute and provided wonderful updates and excellent care for our creatures. Thank you so much for your help Sterling! We would definitely recommend and use him again in the future.”
“Elizabeth is so good my with high anxiety rescue pup. I appreciate how clean she left my home (even washing my coffee cup from the morning before I left!) she was communicative, kind, and sent me photos of her engagement with my dog throughout the day when I was missing him. Really appreciated her energy and willingness to be super flexible with start times! I will be using her again in the near future! ❤️”
“I’ve never hired a stranger to stay in my house while I was away, so I was nervous, but Tana agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and after meeting her, I felt totally comfortable leaving the responsibility of our pets and home in her hands. She sent me pics of my dog throughout her stay and took great care of our home. I hope she enjoyed the job and agrees to come back!”
“Melissa was amazing! We booked her fairly last minute for a weekend trip, but she responded fast and was cheerful and kind. Our animals seemed so much happier and relaxed when we got home compared to times we’ve taken them to a boarding facility. Will definitely book her again!!”
About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.
“We have used Erica several times for house and dog sitting, and she continues to do an excellent job. Our dogs are always happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She keeps us updated while we're away and follows our instructions carefully. We especially appreciate the care she takes with our home. Each time we return, the house is exceptionally clean, neat, and well cared for, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when traveling. Erica is reliable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her.”
“I have a very challenging extra large dog with fear aggression. Ariana was a natural with her and absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my beastly pup and home. I will definitely be hiring her again to dog/housesit.”
About: I have been caring for pets for my entire life. Knowing that your baby is as important to you as mine is to me, I will care for your furry friend as I would hope someone would care for my own baby. I’m looking to build my care community and availability so I will be able to help when needed. Currently Saturday and Sunday are fully available. Monday-Friday is mostly open with a few instances where I don’t have flexibility. I will care for your fluffy friends either at your home if that is your preference, or I can offer short term stays at my home. My preference is to keep animals where they are most comfortable.
“Kira took fantastic care of my two dogs over Thanksgiving week. They absolutely loved her, and it was clear from their relaxed, happy behavior that she gave them lots of attention and affection. She also went above and beyond with my chickens. She noticed their heater wasn’t working, figured out how to build a functioning fixture from parts in the garage, and then continued to check it daily to make sure it was still working properly until we got back. I will definitely be asking Kira to watch my animals again. She’s competent, communicates clearly, and is truly compassionate with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. And here ADA dog is a sweetie too!”
“Jazmine did great with my two dogs! I was in an area with spotty cell service all week and felt very comforted knowing Jazmine was caring for my dogs! She even had little report cards for them when I returned. It was so sweet!”
“Kate was friendly, easy going. We have always used close family friends & neighbors & were a bit nervous about trying an online service. Kate was wonderful! I felt like i left dog & home in safe hands. Returned home to a happy dog! Thanks Kate & Rover”
“Jaime took excellent care of our entire animal family. She kept me informed of how everyone was doing and sent pictures so I knew that everyone was doing well. She had a lot of animals on her hands with my four dogs, three chickens and two tortoises. It was clear that everyone was well taken care of when we got home, the dogs acted like we'd just been gone for the day as opposed to over a week!”
About: Iv had dogs my entire life. From labs to bullterriers, pitbulls, britneys,GPS puppies. I will take care of yours as I would my own. Walks, parks if yours likes parks, cuddles, anything they need. I work from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings or extended stays with advance notice, and I’m quick to respond to messages. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. Dogs are always leashed outside and stay within my sight at all times. I closely follow your care instructions, keep a calm and attentive environment, and make sure pets get plenty of love, supervision, and safe play. I treat every dog like they’re my own.
About: I moved to AK summer of 2017 from Florida, I grew up on a farm so always had a love for animals. That summer I heard of an elderly woman needing someone to care for her pets while she went to a Drs appointment in the lower 48, so I volunteered my time for 5 days. When she returned I got a message from her overjoyed of how healthy and happy her pets were and how spotless her home was, she was relieved and was able to settle in without worry, The following week the calls began, word of mouth spreading like wild fire I became a guy in demand with 100% of my clients returning. I have experience with all sorts of pets (Cats and dogs) ranging from bit older to a few months, I have clients with medical conditions needing daily medication some with dietary needs. I have clients who have separation anxiety and some who don’t like other men or even children or other pets. I have clients who have ran away from every other pet sitter the owners have left them with and yet they stay glued to me like white on rice. Im a 24/7 pet care provider so will be available all day and wouldn’t leave for 8hrs a day I’d be with your pet all day, Im able to form a bond with animals easily I can read and understand the mannerisms of animals easily and able to help them adjust and become comfortable and at ease. I don’t just open the door and say ok go potty or go outside for a bit, I take them on adventures and yes even the older ones get to go on a small adventure making them feel like a puppy again! Your pet won’t need for anything under my care may it be dog walking or even pet day care or sitting for weeks or months at a time while ( and yes I board cats) or even some simple training or even a good ole grooming! My expertise is well versed when it comes to pets care/needs. Soo treat your pet to that vacation like experience don’t settle for less. Certified CPR and First Aid specifically for pets, I’ve sat birds, chickens, hamsters even up to 10 pets all part of same home without any issues! Anything pet related, this has become my profession this is what I live for and I love and I’m blessed to say this is my full time job, I can sit up to 5 pups at a time without issues they will all get the best care and individual lovings they need,I’ve been doing this a long time and am more then capable of making sure every pet is living there best lives! My home is not only pet friendly it is a home, many of my clients owners see my house and ask are you sure? your home is nice. Well do you want your pet living like a king/queen or locked up in a cage while you go on vacation or what not! Love going on adventure! They will be able to take in the fresh Alaska air and feel free and not locked up.
“Sharika was amazing with Yuna. She is super kind, friendly and sweet. It didn’t take long for Yuna to warm up to her and want all her attention for the night. Before meeting Yuna Sharika asked several questions about Yuna to make sure she knew everything she needed to know about her. This really reassured me and made me feel very comfortable leaving her with Sharika. She kept open communication with me the whole night so I didn’t ever feel worried about Yuna. I will definitely be rebooking Sharika in the future P.s. Sharika even walked Yuna in the morning while she waited for me to come back and I didn’t even ask her too. She is a lovely girl and I highly recommend her ❤️❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Knik-Fairview
Carolyn did a great job. The dogs were happy, house was clean, and we got photo and text updates. We mis-booked by a day and she was willing and able to be flexible. Our one senior dog has become anxious as of late and is now on medications and that didn’t deter her. Thankfully everything went smooth! She’s is upfront, sweet and reliable. We will plan to book with her again.
Ninia did an amazing job with my pups while I was on vacation! My puppy can be a bit unhinged at times, but Ninia went above and beyond by taking her along for the day and even working with her on some behaviors. One of my dogs also had to be separated due to a recent surgery, and Ninia balanced her time to make sure everyone got the attention they needed. She made sure all of the dogs got daily walks and handled the chaos with humor and grace. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Ninia!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Knik-Fairview on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 418 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Knik-Fairview. 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 Knik-Fairview 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 Knik-Fairview 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 Knik-Fairview 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Knik-Fairview. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
