About: Hello Everyone! I have been pet sitting since I was 15 years old but have been going and helping my grandma with her pet sitting business since I was able to understand pet care! I have taken care of and/or raised many animals such as Cows, Pigs, Horses, Llamas, Reptiles, Cats, Dogs, and more! I truly love what I do and take pride in my work, treating each pet as they are my own. I currently don’t offer boarding but i’m open to house visits, walks, feedings, and much more! I am solely doing pet sitting as of right now so I have an open schedule! Since I only offer in home services I will gladly accommodate to any needs and or wants for your pet to ensure the best care and safety of your pet(s).
“Marissa did an amazing job! She showed up exactly when she said she would, spent quality time with the pups, and sent plenty of updates and pics of her visit with them. Would definitely recommend!”
“Joanna did an amazing job with our dog, Ottis. He can be a handful and gets over excited but she was able to calm him down and manage his behavior beautifully. I was so happy to receive the well written reports & see the wonderful pictures of my boy. This was my first time using Rover and not a kennel - so I am delighted to highly recommend both Rover services & Joanna as a skilled dog sitter. Thank you again Joanna, job well done. This gave me peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away from home.”
About: I am the owner of a 6 year old Belgian Malinois and an almost 11 year old minature Daushund. Being the owner of a Belgian, I have been opened to a whole new world of dogs. I love to take them for walks, teach them, and find a confidence with dogs. I love cats as well. Senior pets are the best. They need gentle care at times, a bit more patience and a little more time from point A to point B. I am new to being a dog walker/ cat care giver, but my love of animals will shine through. I have taken care of my sisters cats, dogs, bunnies for over 20 years. Just getting started publically, but I will love you pet as if you are still at home! I do not have a fixed work schedule at this time to limit visitations. I am available for most times during the morning or afternoon. I will be glad to clean the litter box as needed and accidents made by the doggos, provide food and fresh water and other reasonable requests pertaining to your cats and dogs. And of course take your fur friends out for walks when needed. At this time, owning a Belgian Malinois, I do not offer home services to be provided in my home.
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.
“Hey Rover, Billie was awesome! Very friendly and knowledgeable of pet care. We will definitely like to have Billie back! She sent pictures and great communication back and forth! Thank you so much! Rob McCormack”
About: I’ve been around all different kinds of animals my whole life! I’ve been taking care of my close friends and families animals for as long as I can remember! This includes experience in house sitting and caring for the animals needs! Animals can’t speak to us verbally so it is important to pay attention to their needs and wants. I take animals seriously and treat all of them how I do mine! I am a server at a restaurant and have a very flexible schedule! My shifts are typically at night and last about 5 hours! I typically have my days open! My personal pets are very spoiled! I have two dogs and I take them on walks, to the park, on the boat, etc. I snuggle them any minute I can! They are my main priority- I treat their needs as I do my own. This also transfers over to my clients pets! Like I’ve previously stated, I treat all animals as I do my own!
About: I have a Bachelor's degree in Zoology, and Associates degree in Science and have cared for other peoples pets since I was 17 (August, 3 2026 I'll be 22) besides caring for my parents dogs and cats. I have expireance with special care needs like diabetic pets who need to be given insulin shots, elderly dogs with oral pills they would rather not take, and bouncing puppies who need to let out alot of energy. I also have owned many animals since I was little with minimal parental help. These animals include dogs, cats, snakes, mice, rats, fish, birds, spiders, and frogs. I have experience in highschool vet care and college lab and field experience in herpetology, ornithology, and ictheology. Your fur babies will love spending their time with me when you can't be there. I just graduated college and would love to make money doing somthing I'm good at; careing for animals. Since I just graduated and don't have another job currently I'm free at most times and would love to be of service to you. I will give my undivided attention to make sure your animal is happy and well cared for. I can take your dog to the dog park, and if you want I can bring my dog over for them to play. Dog/cat's needs and feed schedules can be precise. When I was caring for my aunts Diabetic cat I had to feed half of a 1/4 cup give him his insulin shot then feed the other half, this had to happen at 6am and 6pm exactly. The shot had to go into his opposite hip every time (left morning, right afternoon). I hope to offer your pet similarly the best care imaginable.
“Alyssa did a 30 min drop in. She arrived early and stayed a little late and asked questions when she was unsure. I gave her limited instructions and she took the initiative to take the dogs for a walk and top up their water bowl. I was very pleased with her service and I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“I highly recommend Meghan for all things pet sitting. She is prompt with responses and gave our boy the best care I could ask for while we were out of town for a week. I received daily updates and photos, and I could tell our dog was very happy with her! I also had to schedule a last minute request and luckily she was available and got back to me immediately, so she saved the day!”
“We were really pleased with her communication and care for our dog and would absolutely choose her again. Our dog seemed perfectly content when we returned home. She was very professional and listened to our requests.”
About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fair Play is $14 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $4 and $17 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 October 2026, there are 473 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fair Play. 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 .
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 , 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 Fair Play. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
