About: I have been taking care of pets for about 8 years now. Whether it be my own dog or my friends dogs, I provide high quality care to each pet I care for. In addition, I potty trained and crate trained my dog, as well as taught her all her fun tricks! I am in college and will be available to care for your pets throughout most of my days due to my classes being spaced out throughout the week. I place the utmost importance not only on pet care but also on respecting pet owners and their instructions. I aim to provide high quality care to each and every pet so that they are safe, healthy, comfortable and happy!

About: All my life I've been interested in animals. I grew up with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and my work in the field has involved all sorts of animal husbandry, from shearing sheep to catching alligators or banding songbirds. Sometimes I feel I understand animals better than people which helps me provide specialized one-on-one care to meets your beloved pet's needs. I want to ensure that they feel as safe, comfortable, and well-loved with me as they do with you! I'm currently taking some online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Right now I have a lot of time Fridays-Mondays which I would love to spend taking care of some special pets. I don't have access to a fenced-in yard currently and would not be able to host a dog to the best of my ability. I've taken care of cats at my house, however, and have found that they quickly feel at ease in my home environment. My kitty passed away last year, unfortunately, but I am home often and will provide as much company and attention as your pet desires. I want them to know they have a friend in me.
About: I've been around animals my whole life and learned how to properly care for them from a young age. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, as well as kittens and young cats. I truly enjoy giving pets the love, attention, and care they deserve, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Right now I am working a part time job and I am finishing up my senior year of high school online, so my schedule is very flexible! I always make sure pets get the exercise they need, whether that’s through playtime or going on walks with them! I keep their water bowls fresh, full, and clean. I provide well portioned meals that not only fill them up but help keep them happy, healthy, and full of energy!

About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppyhood to senior years! Since age 9, I have been able to be graced with having cats and now have one of my very own who gets whatever she wants. I love pets more than anything and would be honored to take care of yours just as I do mine. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday and am looking to add caring for animals into my time off through drop ins and walking! I am an avid explorer so I tend to walk several miles throughout my week and more on the weekends! I would love to drop in and see your pet to ease your worries about leaving them for work! I ensure the utmost care for my pets in my home and in others that I have cared for. I do this by having a watchful eye on them, engage them in enrichment of their choice, and love on them!

About: With over 7 years of experience as a pet sitter, I've cared for a wide range of dogs and cats, providing tailored, compassionate care to each one. I’m known for my attention to detail, ensuring pets’ needs are met with precision, from feeding and exercise to administering medications. Trustworthy and kind, I build strong, lasting relationships with both pets and owners. Whether it's a playful dog or a laid-back cat, I offer peace of mind by creating a safe, comfortable environment. If you're looking for a reliable, animal-loving sitter, I’m here to care for your pets as if they were my own. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Despite working full-time, I make it a priority to ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. I’m typically able to let dogs out during my lunch breaks, providing them with a bathroom break, some playtime, or a quick walk to keep them happy and comfortable. For house sitting, I dedicate my evenings and weekends to being fully present with the pets I care for, ensuring they feel safe and loved in their home environment. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to their routines and provide consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost care and respect, as if they were my own. I understand the trust that comes with inviting someone into your home, and I hold myself to a high level of responsibility. I ensure your pets are well cared for, following their daily routines for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs they may have. At the same time, I maintain your home’s cleanliness and security, handling tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, and ensuring everything is in order. My goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away, knowing both your home and pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since my brother got his first dog when I was 12. Me and my family have had all sorts of puppers from a 130lbs cane corso to a 40lbs husky mix. I’ve dog sat dogs of every size and with a huge range of personalities. I’ve also never met a dog that didn’t like me. I am a full time student, however I get breaks in between my classes and when I’m not at class I’ll most likely be with your dog. I should be available 24/7 aside from some holidays and exams weeks :( I have a fenced in spacious yard and a crate if needed. I do live with 2 senior pitbulls, but the only thing I’d be worried about is the cold look from a jealous dog that’s used to getting all my attention.
“Susan did a great job with both CatCat and MoMo.... Both looked to be having great fun... I know MoMo was warn out by the time we got home.... Such a joy to see them both PLAY.... THANK YOU for all the updates and all the play time...”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 and have had animals my whole life. I have volunteered at many shelters and fostered previously. I have experience with older, shy, more understanding needed animals. We are used to training puppies so can keep up with any needed continued care. I work from home and am able to give my full attention to your fur baby. I can move my breaks around for bathroom or attention breaks. My 5 year old GoldenDoodle will keep them company all day, as well. We have a fenced in yard and will keep your animal safe and loved. During walks if desired we have a fully sidewalked neighborhood. We have couch covers for the dogs to be able to get on the furniture if desired. If coming to your home I will leave everything as you left it, with the exception of your animal feeling relieved and loved.
“Jair has been an amazing sitter for our dogs! She takes great care to ensure everything is good for the pets and is quick to communicate if she thinks she can do something to help. For example we were on vacation and she let me know our boys allergies were really flaring up. I was able to order some skin balm overnight from Amazon that she recommended and call and schedule a vet visit for the first day we were back. It was great being able to know our boys were taken care of and enjoying still being at home. She also has great training tips!”

About: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.
About: I grew up with pets and care for a dog and 2 cats at my own place. My dog is an elder with a prior back surgery, so I’m no stranger to disabilities, giving medicine, and even expressing bladders. I’m an animal lover; I work a full time job but would love to provide weekend care for your smaller family members! I work a full time job during the week. Outside of work hours, I’m caring for my own pets. Weekends will be the best availability for me to be able to care for your pets! I dont offer care in my own home due to the stress it will put on my older dog. However, care in your home will look like whatever you would like it to look like. I’m willing to do walks, feedings, general company/play time, and other things you may need at a drop in
“Brandon looked and took care of our dogs as if it was his own. He is also very communicative and provided us daily updates. Also went the extra mile and cleaned after our pups even though he didn’t have to…highly recommend! And def would rebook again!”

About: With 19 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I’ve learned that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special! As a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent myself, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies who love to play to sweet seniors who prefer a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic puppy training reinforcement, and providing the patience and attention older pets deserve. What sets me apart is that I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet care. I take the time to get to know each animal, respect their individual routines, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs an adventure buddy, a cuddle companion, or simply a familiar, reassuring presence, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. 🐾❤️ Caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few more furry friends into my routine comes naturally! As a devoted pet parent myself, my days are filled with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every animal gets the love and attention they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to your pets without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your furry family members company while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their individual needs and routines. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so my goal is to keep their days as comfortable, familiar, and stress-free as possible. Your pets won’t just be another appointment on my calendar. They’ll be a priority! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities! As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and that’s something I never take lightly. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and do my best to maintain the routines your pets already know and love. From feeding schedules and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and snuggles, I follow your instructions closely to help your pets feel safe, secure, and comfortable. During walks and outdoor activities, I stay attentive to my surroundings, use secure leashes, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. I understand that every animal has different personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I never force interactions or situations that could make them uncomfortable. Communication is also very important to me! I’m happy to provide regular updates, pictures, and little check-ins so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your babies are happy and in loving hands. My goal is simple: to provide the same patience, respect, and unconditional love that I would want someone to give my own pets!
“Lisa is so great with Bob! He is older and can be grouchy and lazy. But when she comes by, he perks up and is a super happy pup! She is kind and courteous and simply a joy to have around! We are contemplating a new puppy because of how much we trust Lisa to help out! She is willing to go the extra mile to ensure that we are informed and kept up to date on his activities.”

“Ashley has watched our cat on two separate occasions and has done a great job each time. She did great giving his meds and was always on time for visits and always sent photos. Will definitely be rebooking again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fairborn is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $4 and $23 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 November 2026, there are 949 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fairborn. 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.
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. 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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 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.
