About: I have six years of experience and have work for multiple kennels. I know how to do daily routines and how to distribute medications. I give a lot of my attention to detail and make sure the pets have the best care. I actually work for a veterinary clinic at this time. Also, I care for my family member's pets on the weekends, when I have time. I normally care for any pet I have in my care in their own homes. I have in the past stayed overnight in my clients' homes.
“Sierra is so incredible and amazing with our kitties! We are so happy to have her watching our kitties during this last trip and she handled giving our eldest cat her meds with no issues. She also handled a couple of stressful situation very well and was able to change up routine on the fly! She’s the best and we love having her care for our babes!”
“Emma was wonderful with my cat while I was away! She made notes every day about how she was doing, and made sure to always update me with pictures and videos. Will 100% rebook her in the future!”
About: I am very passionate about the care of animals. And would bond and get to know your pet and each and every one of their specific needs. Loving animals is a big part of my personality. I have a clear schedule as of right now so I am very flexible just let me know you and your pets needs and I’ll be there!! I would meet all of the pets needs including , potty time, feeding, play time, and even cuddles you can count on me to do it
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
“Katherine was amazing while my fiancé and I were out on vacation. I had never been away from Bonfire for more than 2, maybe 3 nights max since getting him in January. Seeing the photos and videos sent by Katherine showing him eating, playing, and adjusting to his new litter box were such a huge help in comforting us while away. I highly recommend her in caring for your pet and home should you need help last minute!”
About: I love animals! I've taken care of all kinds of domestic pets for 15 years now. I've also worked for a small zoo and cared for cows, donkeys and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, as well as owls, hawks and an eagle. I have cared for exotic animals too! Ostriches, African tortoises, an African sand cat, African black-backed jackals and porcupines. I will give loving and attentive care to your pets. You can rest easy. I love animals and they love me! Pet care is all I do, so your pets will get personal immediate attention. I have been doing pet/house/farm sitting part-time for over 10 years. I'm now going into this full-time. Your pets will get my undivided attention! I have a reliable car and am easy to get ahold of anytime day or night. I do a meet and greet with you and your pets so we can get to know each other and I can make sure we are compatible and learn about your animals routine and any special needs so I can care for them safely and well. This first meeting is where we develop that initial trust and bond.
About: I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Snoopy who loves long walks in the park and plenty of attention. I also have experience caring for Siberian Husky and a Shiba mix. Also taken care of gerbils, hamsters, turtles, and parakeets. I'm currently available with a flexible schedule. I enjoy taking care of dogs on long walks and playing fetch with them outside in the yard i have experienced dealing with a variety of dogs and pets. I have ample amount of experience giving dogs medicine that prescribed to them and feeding and giving plenty of water
About: I have always grown up with at least one doggie at home and I have recently adopted an orange rescue cat who is now one year old! If any of my family is out of town, I am trusted to take care of their pets. This includes taking them on walks, accommodating to specialized diets, and spending quality time with them! I currently am enrolled in classes for the evening and will work part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not scheduled daily! I insure each pet will receive care tailored to their unique needs. I am careful to double check all doors are closed and gates are locked. If any special rules are required to keep your pets comfortable, I will be sure to see them through.
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs in my home and have earned more than 70 five-star Rover reviews without a rating below five stars. Over that time, I’ve cared for dogs with different personalities, routines, activity levels, ages, and household needs. Animals have also been part of my own household throughout those years. Our family started with two Yorkshire Terriers, Barkley and Eva, and today their son Mutombo is our resident elder. We also share our home with our cat, Tiger. Living with animals every day has reinforced something I take seriously when caring for someone else’s pet: consistency matters. When your dog stays with me, I want their routine to feel as familiar and predictable as possible. I pay attention to feeding instructions, bathroom habits, activity, rest, temperament, and how each dog adjusts to the environment. I also intentionally look for changes in appetite, energy, mood, sleep, or behavior that might be worth bringing to your attention. I provide home-based boarding and daycare rather than trying to operate like a high-volume kennel. Compatibility matters, especially when multiple dogs are present, so I prefer to get to know each dog before making them part of a regular daycare or boarding group. My goal is simple: provide the kind of attentive, dependable care I would want for my own pets while giving owners confidence that their dog is being noticed—not simply housed. I'll be sure to provide photo updates so you can see how your dog is settling in while you're away. My availability is planned around the dogs I accept rather than simply filling every open date. I provide home-based boarding and daycare and try to keep each day's group manageable and compatible. For daycare, I prefer consistent drop-off and pickup windows so the middle of the day can follow a predictable rhythm of outdoor breaks, activity, enrichment, supervision, and rest. For boarding, I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding, bathroom, sleeping, and activity routine whenever practical. If you send me a request, please include your expected drop-off and pickup times so I can confirm that the schedule works well for everyone. I've spent eight years caring for dogs in my home and have earned more than 70 five-star Rover reviews without a rating below five stars. Over that time, I've learned that good care starts with understanding the individual dog rather than assuming every dog will behave the same way in a new environment. Compatibility is important in my home. I pay attention to temperament, interactions with other dogs, comfort around household members, resource guarding, escape tendencies, stress signals, and each dog's ability to settle. I prefer Meet & Greets for new clients so we can discuss your dog's normal behavior and determine whether my home environment is a good fit before committing to regular daycare or an extended boarding stay. I also monitor for changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, mood, sleep, movement, or behavior and will communicate with you if something seems unusual.
“Alana did a fantastic job! The pups took right to her from the beginning. She was very prompt and never missed an appointment. She sent pictures of their walks with a detailed report. We will work with Alana again!”
“Tatyonia is the best. We were nervous about using this service but Tatyonia’s care and genuine love of our pets changed our minds. We will never board our dogs again and highly recommend Tatyonia.”
About: I’ve lived in houses with pets my whole life ranging from dogs of all different breeds, cats, bunnies, and goats :) I have a lot of love for animals. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to see their personalities. I’m currently working a seasonal job so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I have a flexible schedule so most days I should be available! I take extra care and consideration for every owner that allows me to sit in their house. I follow the instructions given to me as well as leave everything the way I found it. I wash and put away everything I used during my stay. And of course I will give your pets all the love I have!!🩷
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs! I grew up with 2 Maltese Shit Zu’s (who are 11 and 14 years old) and now own a 2 year old golden retriever! I can understand that leaving your fur baby with a stranger can be scary, please know your pup is safe in my hands with me! I’m certified in giving the best belly rubs, nose boops, and lovings of all kinds.

About: I've owned dogs all of my life and can provide excellent care of your dogs. They will get plenty of love and play time as well. I currently work from home and will be able to give your dogs plenty of attention. They will fit right in with us in our home. My dog is allowed to go outside on the leash because he is old and does not go very far anymore, but I can keep your pets on a leash while in my care. I can also crate your dog.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fairborn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Fairborn 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fairborn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
