About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, including owning and caring for a senior dog myself. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow their normal routines, whether that means lots of playtime and activity or a little extra patience and care. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the week. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so I’m available to provide companionship, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I’m at work until 5:15 PM, but I’m available in the evenings afterward. Weekends are generally open and flexible unless otherwise noted. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they receive the care, attention, and consistency they’re used to. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

Communication is very important to me, so I’m happy to send updates and photos to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own.

About: As a proud dog mom to two amazing pups a playful 1-year-old German Shepherd and a sweet 3-year-old Poodle I truly understand the energy, patience, and love dogs need at every stage.

I’m a stay-at-home mom with experience caring for my two dogs a one year old German Shepherd and a three year old Poodle. I provide pets with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and always knew I loved animals. I worked at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist, where I gained lots of insight and knowledge about cats and dogs. I want to continue on the path of helping families and animals! I have open availability, as my other job is working from home. I am flexible and always home! Short-term, long-term, schedules are open for negotiation! I have a British Shorthair cat, a miniature poodle, and a standard Goldendoodle. :)
About: [I prefer the name Finn!] I am a full-time veterinary technician that loves spending my time learning new ways to support animals. I am trained in medication/fluid administration, general care/monitoring, and emergency care. I love developing a bond with a pet and earning their trust to make them (and you) as comfortable as possible! I have also trained and taken care of my own dogs and cats since childhood (including a disabled dog). I am a veterinary technician full-time and would love to take care of more pets in my free time! On weekdays, I am typically working from 7am-6pm and am typically unable to stop by mid-day (but I try to be flexible if you’re close by!). I do my best to stay overnight if requested, and will be honest if anything might not be guaranteed. While I cannot offer services from my home, I am very regimented in ensuring pets are secured in whichever approved & safe areas you have ready for them. I always keep an eye out for any potential dangers or negative behaviors and respond accordingly. Lastly, I always lock any doors/gates behind me to ensure maximum safety for you, your pets, and myself!
“My little girl is very skittish and Danyelle developed a real bond with Bella. She went above and beyond to make Bella feel comfortable with her and I was so grateful. Thanks so much for giving great care to my little Bella. I well undoubtedly being using your service again!”

“Estefania gives us so much peace of mind when we are out of town! Our dog loves her so much! She sends so many great videos and pictures, goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable and happy, and treats him like her own pet! Thank you so much!!!! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have about a couple of years of experience with dog sitting for my friend when she goes out of town. She has had two dogs in my ten years of knowing her. I love animals and I always want to protect them as well. I have been around dogs since I was a little toddler. I have a long history with caring for dogs. As I got older and was in more and more activities, my parents thought it wasn't a good idea to have a dog anymore. So I would just play with my friends dogs and that's how I kept up with my relationship with dogs. I would be a great sitter simply because I care about dogs and have a huge heart for them. I always want what's best for the dog.
About: Hello! My name is Jackie. I have been surrounded by animals all my life. I am 25 years old. I got into more experience with handling animals around 15 years of age. I’ve fostered four litters of kittens while finding them new homes. I have experience with bottle feeding. I have looked after friends and family’s dogs as well. I’ve taken dogs for walks, bathed them and other necessary things they needed such as medications. I would like to provide you with the comfort of knowing that your pet is in good, loving care! Pet care fits well into my routine because I currently attend school only twice a week. This allows me to have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Even on school days, I make sure to schedule visits and check-ins so pets stay on their normal routine. My goal is to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention while making sure they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I currently care for pets in the client’s home through drop-ins, walks, or house sitting and do not bring pets into my own home. I always send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet day filled with cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m also experienced with puppies who need extra patience, consistency, and potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication, or additional comfort and care. Every pet is treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love because I believe they deserve nothing less. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands. As a military veteran, reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with consistent, dependable care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I also believe in clear communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and regular potty breaks while maintaining a clean environment. You’ll also receive updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in trustworthy hands.
About: I have always been an animal lover, and I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone with your babies. I solemnly swear I'll provide the best care! I WFH Tu-Fri and it is a pretty laid-back job so I can always give as much attention as needed. I also have experience in having pets to take care of as a part of my daily routine. I make sure they are comfortable, feel safe, and feel cared for to ensure they are relaxed because nothing is more unpredictable than a stressed dog!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, so I understand not just the basics of care, but the attention, patience, and consistency pets need to feel safe and comfortable. As a current pet owner, I treat every animal as if they were my own by prioritizing their routine, well-being, and happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my routine alongside my full-time job. During the week, I’m available in the evenings, which allows me to provide consistent care such as walks, feedings, and quality time to help pets unwind and stay on schedule. I also have open availability on weekends, giving me the flexibility to dedicate more time for extended visits, boarding, or additional care needs. I focus on providing reliable care while maintaining your pet’s normal routine in the comfort of their own home. During each visit, I handle essentials like feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, and cleaning up as needed, while also making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairfax is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $30 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 6,354 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairfax. 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairfax. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
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.
