About: Hello! My name is Rachel and I am a biologist and lover of all animals. I grew up taking care of a number of pets, including many dogs and have been employed as a veterinary technician in the past. I foster dogs on and off from our local shelters. I am knowledgeable and compassionate in the care of pets and look forward to meeting yours! I am currently working part time from home and am available for potty breaks, dog walking, daycare, and boarding! I am active and would love to have some furry company on my walks. I am open to watching dogs at my home if they are friendly and non-reactive with other dogs. I have a young heeler who loves making new doggie friends! Sometimes, I take on multiple dogs for daycare/boarding so please let me know if you would like your pup to be a solo stay. I also can watch pets at your house and/or take the dogs for outings! I have my own car with plenty of space for transporting.

About: Animal lover with 30 years of experience owning, sitting and caring for fur babies. Both cats and dogs (other pets!) I am capable of caring for all sizes, age ranges, providing medicine, potty training routines, bathing, etc. I work from home with lots of down time to take care of your pet as they need. Potty breaks, walks, playing will be plentiful! I have a house with 3 large yards and provide great secured and gated space for pets to play! Pets are welcome to explore freely, and sit/sleep on furniture and bed. With lots of down time working from home, potty breaks can be taken as needed. Close to parks and open space. I am also fully capable of also keeping any crating routine you need to maintain when you are away. I also have a car for dogs that are able to go on doggy adventures like hikes, beach, dog parks, etc. We have a service dog named Hoss who loves all animals. He really enjoys making new friends.

About: Hi There! My name is Bailey and I am an experienced pet sitter with repeat clients who continue to trust me for ongoing care. I specialize in providing calm, consistent, and attentive care for pets while their owners are away. I have been caring for animals for many years, starting with family and friends’ pets, and have been active on Rover since January 2025. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, and pet sitting, always focused on keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I have experience with cats, dogs, and a variety of other animals, including reptiles and small farm animals. I’m confident following detailed care instructions and adjusting to each pet’s individual needs and personality. My pet parents receive clear communication and reliability, and I provide regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If you’re looking for dependable, stress-free care and someone your pets can feel comfortable with, I’d love to help! Pet care fits into my weekly routine and is my primary focus outside of my schooling and part-time job. I work as a hostess Friday–Sunday starting at 4pm. I have class from 8am-3pm on Mondays and 6am-2pm on Tuesday and Wednesdays. This leaves my morning/afternoons on Friday-Sunday, and evenings on Monday-Wednesday open for pet care. As well as all day on Thursdays. I am available for stop-in visits, feeding, walks, and overnight house sitting, and I do my best to accommodate regular or recurring clients whenever possible. My top priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I treat each home and animal with respect and follow all owner instructions closely to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I provide care in the client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I am not currently able to offer boarding in my home, but I am fully available for in-home visits, walks, and house sitting. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I make sure to provide reliable, attentive care along with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“I have used Natalie’s services for months and have nothing but good things to say about her! She has done house drop ins, dog walks, and house sat for my dog and cat. I always knew my pets were safe and well taken care of. On the walks she would walk my dog sometimes up to 7 miles! When house sitting I always came home to the place in great condition. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve had animals all my life but have recently started taking care of neighbors pets. I provided services of walks and overnight for both cats and dogs. I am currently home from college so I have a very open schedule this summer to take care of pets as needed depending on the animal. I can easily walk your pet and love spending time with animals. I can easily adapt to the need of individual animals and love to care for them.

About: I have been surrounded by animals for most of my life and I love to help them live their best lives! I studied pre-veterinary biology for two years, so I know about the science behind animals as well as understanding their basic care and needs. I am very good at matching the energy level of any animal and I have a special passion for exotic animals (but of course I love dogs and cats too!). I am experienced in giving medication and I do not shy away from cleaning up any and all messes that they may make. I am currently a student at Cal Poly Humboldt and I have a lot of breaks in my class schedule. For house sitting, I would only be out of the house for 2-4 hours at a time for classes on weekdays and would be able to stay all day on weekends. My schedule is also perfect for drop ins and potty breaks. I feel that I am a very easy person to work with and I will follow any and all guidelines or rules that you present to me. I will also help with house cleaning if you would like that, in addition to cleaning up after your pet(s).

About: I have taken care of senior small dogs, many cats, fish, bearded dragons, and even dubia roaches. I'm good at cleaning food and water dishes, and good at cleaning after pets. I can't even begin to count how many times I've clean up poop. I always bring supplies with me when walking dog like doggy bags and dog pepper spray. I bring the spray because I have encountered many mean dogs while walking my own dog. You can count on me to protect your pet while we are out walking. I only have 2 classes this semester of college and one of them is online. I'm pretty much free the entire week, unless I'm out of town or have another commitment. I have a dog, I walk her at least few times a week, I feed her home-made food, and she has lots of room in the yard, at night I bring her in and she has her own very nice bed. I have a very clean room; I vacuum every week. I have a bearded dragon, she eats a clean verity of veggies and insects, I give her a bath once a week and I make sure her enclosure is clean. My goldfish eat high-quality food and their tank is cleaned once a week.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fairhaven

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fairhaven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Fairhaven. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fairhaven after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairhaven. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
