About: Hi. I'm Malcolm, I have been a pet care extraordinaire for over 5 years. My love for animals has been ignited for longer than i can remember and I never get enough of loving all the uniquely named fur babies. Hope to meet yours soon! I currently work a full time until 4pm Monday-Friday. I am available for drop-ins, overnights, evening visits, pet sitting, 1 animal boarding. Flexibility is my specialty. I have a fenced in backyard and am located near multiple parks within walking distance for the pups. I am happy to provide company for the occasional friendly cat as well.
“Miranda does a fantastic job caring for my fur-babies. She always goes above and beyond, leaving pictures and plays with the one that will come out. I plan to get away more now that I know Miranda will take such good care of my boys.”
“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cats. She was very thorough and thoughtful, even when the power at the house went out for two days after a storm! She kept me notified and also took some great pictures of our animals! Would definitely recommend Olivia to take care of your animals.”
About: I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and cats! I love animals & all their quirks! I have a dog as well as two cats. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am currently working from home so I am open to care for your pet in any way they need! Whether they are big, small, chill, or active. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly pup to keep your fur babies company. I believe positive reinforcement is the only productive way to interact with animals.
“Maddie was a wonderful dog sitter for us! She was able to accept our booking last-minute when our usual sitter wasn't available for a trip. Our dog immediately liked her and I could tell he didn't miss us when we were gone! She was very thoughtful with our 2 cats too even though we only booked her for the dog, and very respectful of our home as well. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Madeline- definitely worth booking for your pet!”
About: I've had pets since I was a child: dogs, cats, birds, fish, all kinds of animals. I love animals. I've rescued many from homeless and abandoned homes. Now I want to take care of that loved one so you can rest easy while you work or vacation. I have a fenced yard and my neighborhood is quiet. I'm currently home all day, so I'll be able to devote a lot of time to the pets. I have a baby who will just turn one, so it's important that they be friendly and calm pets. I live in a house with a large, quiet yard. They can sunbathe and play. I can take care of oral medications. Nothing serious, please.
“Melody did drop in visits for our Golden & Labernese while we were away. Being out of town and having someone else take care of your dogs can be so nerve wracking but Melody put us at ease & the boys were well taken care of. We would recommend Melody & will be requesting her for our future needs. Thank you again!!”
“Eleanor took the best care of my baby! She did everything I needed her to do and more, she loved on him and provided him with everything he needed while I was away, thanks to her I was finally able to truly enjoy a vacation knowing my baby was being taken great care of”
About: I have taken care of a wide variation of dog breeds from a very young age. I grew up with multiple dogs in the house at all time. I also had K9 dogs in the house so I am experience in reactive dogs and know how to handle them. My dad trains dogs for police work and I help him with taking care of the dogs and training. I currently am a full time college student so I am available early mornings and than after 3:00 pm on weekdays. I’m available all day on weekends. I have a backyard that is fenced in to run around in. I will talk them on multiple walks a day to make sure they are getting their energy out
“Monique has been our trusted dog sitter for a couple of months now and we intend to keep hiring her going forward! She is on time, never misses a booking, and is flexible with our crazy schedules. Her care for our young, crazy puppy has lifted a lot of stress off of my wife and I with our full-time jobs. We highly recommend Monique.”
About: My family has rescued large dogs since I was a small child. I also have four years of experience working in boarding at Pet Station Country Club. I am very familiar with ‘weird’ dogs and am experienced in handling dogs that may not be considered friendly. My own dog can be a bit of a problem child— and I love her with my whole heart and more. I’m pet first aid and pet CPR certified, I also have experience administering medication if that is something your pet requires. Overall, if you’ve got a pet who needs a little extra TLC, I’m the sitter for you! I am currently working full-time, 9AM-5PM on weekdays. I am fully available on the weekends and evenings, aside from Mondays. I’m willing to housesit on weeknights on the condition you’re comfortable with my work schedule. If you’re not sure about scheduling feel free to reach out and we can discuss finer details! When housesitting or stopping by for walks I will follow whatever conditions you are comfortable with! I understand how important routines can be for our furry friends.
About: I’ve always had a dog growing up, our family dog recently just died of old age.. and think it’s probably to soon to get another dog so we’re going to take baby steps. I’m currently working part time, I have a 4 year old son who loves animals so feel it would be great to take on pet sitting part time.. I have a spacious home & also a fenced in back yard for dogs to easily roam around and be comfortable inside or outside etc.
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She came over and met our pup beforehand and he got to know her. We did 3 drop in visits and it worked out perfectly for our weekend getaway. Communication was excellent - she updated us with pictures and really made us feel that our pup was safe and secure. Can’t wait to book her for our next getaway! Thank you again!”
“Emily has been a wonderful cat sitter. She is great with animals, kind, very responsive, and provides great updates during each visit. I'll definitely be asking her to cat sit again and highly recommend her!”
About: I've been surrounded by critters since I was a little girl - from fish to foster puppies, reptiles, rats, bunnies, dogs, cats, and everything in between. Basically, you name it, I've hugged it. In the past year, I've started dog sitting regularly for several families in my hometown of Louisville, as well as in South Hadley, where I go to school. I love spending time with animals and look forward to getting to know yours! I'm a student in Richmond for the summer with a flexible schedule - I have plenty of free time all day, every day, and would love to spend my free time with your critters! I know all pets have unique needs, and am always willing to adhere to what you feel is best - whether that means six walks a day, regular litter box cleanings, or three-hour playtimes. I will always leave your house clean and make sure that your pet has all of their needs (and more) taken care of.
About: Some Senior Care Magic hands with dogs Feeding and Nutrition I have some experience with giving medications, but please tell me what works best for your pet. I currently am working part time for the summer so I will be able to check with your pets late at night and early morning. The most they'll be alone will probably be 5 hours. Most of time they won't be alone for Sundays. In your home, I'll make sure to walk them outside and if you have a backyard we'll play outside. We'll also play in any surrounded parks.

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 Fairdale 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 Fairdale 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 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 Fairdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
