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’ve owned dogs/cats my whole life, and to have a job with them would be phenomenal, I would treat them if they were like mine! I am currently working a full time job from 9:00-5:00pm but would be able to walk your fur baby after work or even before work! I live in a small community where I like to take hikes and walk around all the neighborhoods, and there is a dog park around
About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I think it's valuable to be consistent and patient when teaching animals to help them grow in confidence and reduce confusion. I've also loved and cared for a multitude of different species including horses, donkeys, ponies, alpaca, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, bearded dragons, turtles, ferrets, sugar gliders, chickens, peasants, and quail. If you have unusual pets, I'd love to meet them! My routine is to come home after work, have some dinner, and then play & snuggle with my cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's important to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable with someone new in their environment.
About: Animals are my passion! Not only have I grown up around them and worked with them for 5+ years but they are a part of my chosen career field. I am currently a veterinary assistant at a local veterinary clinic and am enrolled in school in pursuit of a veterinary technology degree! I am a recent college graduate beginning her journey in exotic animal care! I have been taking care of animals, dogs especially, for my entire life and want nothing more than continuing to do so. I have 3 years of experience working in dog boarding facilities and another 3 years of experience in puppy care. Recently I re-enrolled in college to become a registered veterinary technician. Between work and home, I am around animals 24 hours a day most days. I can provide daily exercise, mental stimulation, and love to all and have no problem meeting the special needs of the animals in my care. My attention will be on them, their happiness, and most of all their health during our time together.

I’ve always loved being around dogs because they’re more than just pets—they’re family. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable from the very beginning. I’m the kind of person who enjoys getting outside for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just relaxing with a dog that wants some company. Every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, patient, and pay attention to the little things. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication exactly as instructed, or making sure your dog gets the exercise and love they need, I’ll care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own.

I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter. I work full-time at Amazon, which has helped me become dependable, organized, and great at managing my time. When I’m not at work, I dedicate my time to caring for the dogs in my care. I keep my schedule up to date and only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s before work, after work, or on my days off, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.

I provide a clean, secure environment where your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll follow your dog’s routine just the way you do, keep a close eye on them, and treat them with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own pet. I want you to feel completely at ease, knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: Hello, I LOVE dogs. Literally spending time with any dog would probably be my favorite thing to do. I’m great with all different personalities types too, how to calm, respond, care for all different types of dogs. Cats are cool too! I definitely know how to care for cats, I’ve had so many growing up and helped my mom with hers for my whole life. I have one black pug right now. She is my best friend in the world, great with other dogs, kids, everyone. I live in an apartment so I can’t board any dogs at my house right now, but i definitely can go to other people’s homes or walk dogs! My husband lives with me too and can take care of my pug if I’m out on the job for some time! I’ve had dogs now / been on Rover for about 6 years I have lots of free time for drop in visits, dog walks, boarding at your home for dogs and cats, or other animals. Message me now! I live in an apartment so I’d have to come to your house! I know how to let out dogs/any animal accordingly, feed certain amounts at certain times, follow rules, give a lot of love :)
“Laura was great caring for not only our 80 pound puppy, but also our senior dog who needed alittle extra care. She was available early morning and late evening while we were out of town. She wasn’t afraid to call with questions, which I very much appreciated. Definitely will use Laura again!”
“Anthony was great and very responsible. He got along really well with my cat and made me feel comfortable leaving her in his care. Before the drop-in visits started, he even suggested meeting in person so I could go over the basic instructions with him. Over the next three days, he did a great job taking care of everything—playing with my cat, cleaning the litter box, and making sure she was fed. I really appreciated how reliable and attentive he was, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.”

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.

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.
