About: I have had dogs since I was 6, taken care of them my whole life, but don’t have one of my own currently sadly. I want to get a dog within the next year so would to take care of yours while I am interviewing from home! I work from home for now, interviewing for residencies, with lots of time to take pets out throughout the day. I go on long walks and runs on my own daily so will keep your pet happy and active! I love caring for pets, petting and cuddling with them, taking them on long walks, and playing with them indoors while I am sitting around.

About: I've grown up my whole life around all sorts of animals. I've worked as a dog bather for a short period of time. I've helped a dog give birth in home. I was in a car accident recently so i am currently unemployed and flexible with many schedules. I will not work on Saturdays due to I am busy during that day for religious reasons I give my pets a pretty simple schedule for food and outdoor time. I am happy to give lots of play and pet time. I also do enjoy just sitting down a maintaining their claws and fur.

About: Hi! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’ve been pet sitting for over 14 years, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love! I know pets are family, and finding someone you trust to care for them is so important. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and occasional house-sitting stays. Our home has a fenced-in yard, and I love giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and opportunities to play, relax, and feel at home. I have three dogs of my own—a Lab mix, a Husky mix, and a Shih Tzu—as well as two cats, so animals are a big part of our family! I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable in my care. I’m also a mom of three little ones, so we have a busy, loving household. I always want to make sure every pet is a good fit for our home and feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I’m a big believer in meet-and-greets before booking! I love giving everyone a chance to meet, get comfortable with one another, and make sure it’s a good fit for both your pet and my family. I want you to feel confident and at ease knowing who will be caring for your fur baby. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, and I want you to feel confident that they’re in caring hands. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your babies are doing while you’re away! Whether your pet needs a cozy place to stay, a friendly face to check in on them during the day, or someone to keep them company while you’re out of town, I’d love to help. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. ❤️ Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐱💕

About: I have been blessed to have pets my whole life! I’ve had 2 medium sized pups and a big pittie- Great Pyrenees mix! I have cared for little pups all the way up to older dogs’ last moments. I am currently a full time student at UC, so this is a way I can get some doggie snuggles in while making some money as well! I have done extensive training and certifications to work at shelters around the Cincy area. I am almost always home all day Friday-Sunday and get back from school in the afternoon Tuesday-Thursday. I am neighbors with my mom who works at home 24/7 so she would be able to check in on the pups if needed! I have taken care of dogs in and out of crates, free fed and scheduled meals, health issues, trained and untrained, etc. I love taking dogs to the dog park, walks and play dates! After an exhausting day Id love to snuggle up or relax with them outside!

“Melissa and her family were absolutely wonderful. They watched our boy for 5 days when we had to travel for a wedding! Pickup and drop off was a breeze. Melissa was always prompt with her responses and kept us posted with pictures! We don't leave him very often so he is quite anxious with strangers but meeting Melissa and her girls made us feel comfortable to leave him. I would definitely drop him off with her anytime! Thanks Melissa!”

We were very satisfied with our dog's stay with Amanda, which we scheduled just a week before our trip. She is very experienced taking care of dogs, and her home is set up to put dogs at ease. Our dog is always a bit tentative with a new sitter, but quickly warmed up to Amanda. We appreciated Amanda's frequent photos and updates. We would be happy to have out dog stay with Amanda again.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Fairfax

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Fairfax is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $59 per night. 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.

There are 835 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fairfax. About 93% of Fairfax sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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 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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
