“Vanessa was amazing! We had all kinds of last minute changes of plans and she was flexible and understanding. I was so thankful to have Vanessa to take care of our senior and medical needs pups. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Joanna was great! We had a last minute booking and she was able to help out. She came over to do a walk through ahead of time and was very patient with our senior girl who takes a while to warm up to new people. We’d absolutely recommend her and book her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past two years, providing reliable and loving care for both dogs and cats of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the animals and have always been able to build strong trusting relationships with them. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and commitment to maintaining each pets routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and I take the time to get to know their individual needs throughout my pet and experience. I’ve had no issues or problems and have consistently provided safe dependable care that owners can trust. I work a part time job at a coffee shop so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups or kitties! I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Over the past two years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family so I’m comfortable managing different schedules, energy levels and personalities. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate pet care into my weekly routine while ensuring each pet receives reliable attentive care. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure the home remains secure and that the pets are always supervised and safe. I love building trust with both pets and their owners. It is very important to me so I provide reliable care, clear communication, and give regular updates. My goal is to create a calm familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners our way.
“Kaitlyn is wonderful!!! Having a stranger take care of your fur babies is always stressful, but she took all our worries away. Always on time, played with the pups, took AMAZING photos & great communication. Had zero worries & will absolutely call her again next time.”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 12. I was frequently in charge of feeding, grooming, walking, and training her as well as administering medications. I have had cats my entire life and I know how to administer medication, groom, and trim their nails. I am new to the Beavercreek area and have open availability until I start school! Book me any day any time and I’ll be there! I always keep a close eye on animals to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am always on top of cleaning any messes they may make.
“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”
About: I have about 15 years experience with all sorts of animals ranging from big dogs to rodents, I provide walking an check-ins for dogs an cats. When going for walks just around the neighborhood I like to add just a little running to get those heartbeats pumping. With check-ins I'm available to do about 3-4 times a day if needed, I am also willing to give medicine if your pet requires it. I'm flexible when it comes to schedules an am always willing to work with you so you an your pet get the best service provided. If you have any questions or concerns I will be more than happy to address it, just shoot me a message an I'll get back to you within 24-48hrs It's something that I have always wanted to do, and I am willing to rearrange and schedule pet care and walking as needed for my client's pets. In my own home, I make sure that my cats are well fed, exercised, groomed, and up to date on their routine vet visits and vaccines to ensure they are healthy and happy. In my client's home, I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me in any and all situations. I ensure that they are also fed, given medications if needed, exercised, and loved all in a visit.
About: I have years of experience as a pet owner from puppies and kittens to senior cats and dogs. I’m familiar with giving medicine as well as accommodating for special needs. I have almost six years working experience in pet retail and am unphased by any behavior or breed, I have almost certainly seen it all and if I haven’t I’m always up to learn. I work part time at a pet retailer and beyond that I have open availability for the time being therefore your pets are always top of my list. I believe trust is key and will never do anything without permission or explanation and no matter how odd the request will fulfill it in order to provide the same level of care you yourself would provide your pet.
“I love Isabel! She is so attentive, caring and sweet to my kitties! Always flexible and willing to work around holidays - it’s so hard to find a good and trustworthy sitter, I am so grateful I have one. If you have any hesitation booking with her, I am here to tell you everything is ok, book with her immediately! She even kept me updated on packages delivered while I was gone. If you are looking for pet sitting or even drop ins, Isabel is the sitter for you, tbh. 10/10 would recommend and book again with her, (and will!)”
“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!”
About: I have over 20 years caring for dogs and puppies of all breeds. I love taking them on walks or playing with them with their favorite toy. Your dog will not just sit in a cage waiting for your return. I will treat them as if they were mine. Stress free worry as I work from home so i have a flexible schedule to step away to care for your furry friend. No worries while your away. I can offer multiple services such as drop in care, long walks, some training, as well as play time. I can manage your dogs needs based off of his or her individual likes or dislikes.
“We are extremely pleased with the service that Daniel provided while we were away. He stopped in multiple times throughout the day to check up on our dog (Moe). He also fed Moe in the morning and late afternoon. At first we were a bit concerned about hiring a dog sitter being that Moe is an older (11 yrs) Jack Russel Mix and requires a bit more attention. Definitely, we made the right choice by connecting with Daniel. We highly recommend his services to anyone in the area of Fairborn, Beavercreek, Dayton, Ohio.”
“Anna is a wonderful pet sitter. She did afternoon walks and in house overnight care for our goldendoodle. She connected with our dog right away. Anna is knowledgeable about dog behavior and you can see her passion from day one. Our dog is anxious when meeting new people. Anna was very sensitive to her needs and made her feel comfortable. Anna asked lots of questions and went above and beyond in caring for Kona’s every need. Anna took Kona on walks, played fetch, provided mental stimulation and provided lots of neck and ear rubs. She was excellent in keeping us updated on how Kona was doing. When we’ve left Kona in the past she typically eats and drinks much less. Kona was eating and drinking and very comfortable with Anna. We feel incredibly blessed to have found Anna to care for Kona. I can’t say enough positive things about her. I 100% recommend her to care for your pup!!!”
“Taylor is absolutely amazing and we will be using her again!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! She took excellent care of Luna and Red while we were away. She made sure they were fed, had fresh water, got plenty of potty breaks outside, and most importantly, gave them lots of love and snuggles. She sent us photos and updates, which really helped us relax knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She exceeded every expectation. I accidentally mixed up and changed the schedule several times, and she was incredibly patient, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. Luna and Red were clearly comfortable with her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! Highly recommend!”
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.
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've been relied on to walk, care for, and love not only my pets, but also friends and families. I am here to make peoples lives easier & provide quality care however that looks for your home and pet(s)🤍 I work consistently Tuesday-Thursday evenings. Got a weekend trip? I'm likely to be available and would love to help take this responsibility off your chest! I understand that all dogs are different and may require different care! My dogs are fed three times a day, taken out 3-7 times a day depending on how often people are home. They are allowed on furniture & we have an unfenced yard with rope leashes and kennels if needed for boarding! I prioritize customized care for any animals I look after, anything to make them comfortable!
About: Hey there! My name is Caroline, I grew up in Texas with four dogs ranging in breeds from shitzu, golden retriever, Bassett hound, and corgi, with ranging ages and special needs. I am trained and able to administer any medication needed, from daily pills to administering Valium for epileptic animals. I currently am active duty military stationed at Wright-Patt and have one very large and lovable yellow lab/golden retriever mix of my own, Tanner. I am flexible with drop in times as I can work with my schedule during the week, however I ask at least a days in advance notice so I can properly plan out the day to play with, feed, and walk your fur babies. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, thanks for entrusting me to care for your pets! Weekends play dates are the most flexible as I work a standard 8-4 job most weeks, but I can flex with weekday visits when needed. I do not accept dogs in my home as I have an only child doggie that likes his space to himself, but I will more than happily walk your dogs, play with them in your home, let them out for potty breaks, feed them, etc. please let me know if any special needs your animals require.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairborn
Erin, as always, went above and beyond. A foot of snow did not stop her, even when our roads didn’t get fully plowed and our snow removal service took extra days to get to our house. All this on top of the fact that all 4 cats took to her right away (unprecedented). Can’t think of anything that could have gone better.

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.
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 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
