I am dog sitting for my parents for two weeks and I went to turn on the living room light at night to grab a few things before bed. It did not turn on so I tried the fan connected to it and that didn't work neither. So I went to the main bathroom (there are three bathrooms in total) and even that light and fan didn't turn on. There is also a washer and dryer in there, not in use, that said PF for power failure, but when I was in a bedroom upstairs trying to put my two year old to bed earlier everything in that one room is working fine so I didn't suspect a power failure.

Sometimes fuses will read as being live even though not supplying full voltage to a circuit; circuit breakers have been known to have failed to 'flip' even though there is a fault in the circuit that has caused a power cut.
The sooner a professional licensed electrician is in there, the better. Until then, shut off the power to the fuses/circuit breakers that feed that circuit. Yes, it will be inconvenient but not near as inconvenient as a fire!
