“Erin is very conscientious and professional. Took great care of Rocko and our home while we were gone and communicated well throughout her stay. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Anya is great. She loves my dogs so much and takes such great care of them! She checks in with me constantly and sends pictures so I’m not missing too much. Having someone who can deal with my anxious dogs makes leaving them so much easier!”
About: I’ve had 3 cats and 4 dogs in my short lifetime of 23 years. I love animals so much, and entertaining them is my favorite hobby. I work between 7am and 3pm, so any time afternoons and weekends I’m available to help out! Let me know what works best for you! I live in a nice apartment building that has a lot of room for walk if needed. My cats do well with other pets too!
“Brandon took amazing care of all of our dogs. He sent multiple updates daily, spent quality time with them, and it was clear he’s very good as a dog sitter. Would recommend him to everyone!”
“Geniya did an excellent job watching over our two dogs. Geniya was on-time, engaged and attentive to the dog's specific needs based on our initial input. Could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting job. Thanks Geniya.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I love walking and playing with dogs. When I’m not in school I take care of my dog Sadie. I’m currently studying aviation at wright state. I’m available for drops in and spending the nights on weekdays and available all day on weekends. If you have a un fenced yard I will watch the dog outside and I can easily put a dog into a crate if needed.
“Maleah was fantastic with Jackson! She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip, sending regular updates and photos so we always knew he was happy and well taken care of. She was attentive to his routine — potty breaks, food, and water — and even topped off his water bowl when it was running low. You could tell she genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and total peace of mind. Highly recommend Maleah for anyone who wants a sitter who treats your pet like family!”
“Kalee was amazing, she sent pictures and was quick to respond everytime. She made sure I had no worries while I was away, and that my fur baby was taken care of. If she’s available I will be booking with her everytime!!”
“Michele was wonderful with our 5 month old puppy. Many walks and play time in and outside of the house. Mattie went on a few errands and was more than happy to do so. My home was spotless and I was sent many photos and updates of my pets. I will request time again with Michele this summer. Thank you.”
“Danni has the sweetest spirt and immediately took to our Gracie Gracie Girl and Indie Boy. She was happy to stay with our Gracie for the day (we SO appreciate that!). When we are gone, Gracie won't eat or go outside (she gets depressed). Imagine our joy and surprise when Danni let us know that Gracie ate all of her dinner and went outside for her!! Danni sent photos and kept us apprised of how the day was going. She has great respect for our home and our wishes for Gracie and we would highly recommend her. Thank you Danni!”
“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”
“Ben was great. Took care of our babies as well as we could have and they were sad when he left. We have already booked him again and will do so as often as he is available in the future.”
“Haley was really great and communicative with us! I could tell our pets were cared for and she took care our house while we were away. We will definitely be repeat clients for our next venture if she'll keep having us!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for multiple dogs throughout my life, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and everyday care. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety and happiness. I am currently home from college for the summer. I do not have other responsibilities, so caring for your pet is my top priority. I am free every day to be able to feed, walk, and play with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their everyday routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any other care instructions you provide.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fairborn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fairborn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 .

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.
