“Sarais took great care of our 2 pups when we left town for a few days. At the end of their stay she bathed them, which was super sweet and helpful of her. My only thing was that I could’ve used more updates but whenever I reached out she quickly responded with pictures! I would definitely recommend!”
“We had our 2 puppies stay with Zachary and it was absolutely wonderful! They were playing and looked so happy the moment they got into his backyard. Will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend his services!”
“Dungey had a great time with Susan. He enjoyed running around her large yard with her pup!! Susan and her husband Dave took great care of Dungey giving him attention and treats! Susan was great with communication, she sent updates and pictures. We will be using her again when needed, and would recommend her if your needing care for your pup!”
“Sauddi was amazing! She was incredibly kind and helpful during the booking process and made sure we both had the information we needed ahead of time. She was incredibly patient with my dog who wasn't used to the type of stairs she had in her place. She took my dog out on long walks despite the cold weather and made sure she had plenty of other stimulation. I will definitely use her again!”
“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”
“Ramona was very patient with our dog, who has separation anxiety. I'm so glad we chose her--Kermit, though nervous, was at least with a very caring person. Extremely grateful for this wonderful sitter!”
“Shannnon was amazing with my boys! I’ve never really left them with anyone but family and she made me feel like they were her family! She sent lots of photos and updated me throughout their stay! I would be happy to let my dogs go stay with her any time I needed! The dogs didn’t want to come back home when I picked them up!”
About: I am an experienced cane corso breeder and pet care specialist. I will treat your dog with love and care as if it were my own and your dog will love me in return I spend about 4 hours a day with my 3 cane corsos I live around their schedule. I spend a lot of time with them. I care for them as if they were a child. They have their own space and schedule. They have plenty of room fornstimulation and no chance at escaping.
“Cara was a great sitter for our boys. Very communicative and welcoming. Sent frequent updates and pictures of the stay. Would recommend and would love to book with Cara again in the future!”
“Great experience! We needed someone to watch our Shih-poo for the weekend last minute and are also new in town. We felt comfortable very quickly leaving Rocco with such a nice family. We received many updates and could see our dog was happy and felt at home. Swetha goes the extra mile. We will book again!”
About: Animals have always been part of my life, from Dalmatians and a Great Dane to a sassy pet chicken. I’ve cared for cats, dogs and even had lovebirds at one point! I truly enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Working from home with a flexible schedule means I have lots of time to give your pets the care and attention they need, whenever you need help. Think of my home as your pet's fun, safe hangout! Working from home means endless cuddles and playtime, with trust and their well being always my top priority.
“Was nervous about boarding Stella since we’ve never done this. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and walks that Stella thoroughly enjoys. It seems that Stella was right at home and probably didn’t mind her lengthy stay with Mackenzie & Jared. I know that if we needed to board Stella again we’d definitely choose Mackenzie!”
“Karin and Ryan are great with my boy, benji. It was his second stay and he likes it at thier house. They are great dog sitters. I FEEL COMFORTABLE LEAVING BENJI THERE!!!! Jerry”
“Hayley did a great job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. Not only was she great with my pet, but also did an amazing job communicating with me especially being flexible when I needed some help. I would love her to take care of my dog again.”
“Lorie is terrific! The dogs were well cared for and safe in her home and fenced yard. We felt welcomed upon arrival and the dogs were ready for us with their things packed for departure.”
“Great match for us!!! She was waiting for us when I arrived, super nice, replied to my messages right away and sent pictures of Luna (my dog) throughout her stay! Luna will definitely stay again with Martha! I could tell right away Martha knew what she was doing. She walked Luna around outside before she brought her in! Very impressive! I would have never thought to do that!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairlawn
Danielle was awesome ! Gorgeous home and yard. Jack is usually very shy, hard to get a harness on him and I was afraid she wouldn't be able to get him back in the house . Apparently there was no problem, as he did it right away for her ! I highly recommend her and would use her again.
Our Peachy stayed with Emily while we were on 10 day vacation. She did great with Peachy and she made sure Peachy takes her medication (even if peachy gave her a hard time) 😊 She sent photos and we appreciste it very much. Her home is nice and clean. We will definitely rebook her again.
Naomi took great care of our dog, Max, while we were out of town for a long weekend. She shared pictures and provided daily updates on how Max was adjusting. I felt very comfortable leaving Max with Naomi. He was well care for, and I will definitely try to rebook with her when we go out of town in the future!
Ryan and Rio were the perfect hosts for Ziggy. Ryan is very knowledgeable about dogs and expertly handled my large puppy and his antics. Communication is excellent and Ryan is very accommodating. Ziggy was well cared for and tired when we picked him up. I will use Ryan again.
Emily was very kind and understanding that my dog has never been to a dog sitter or anything like that. Stormi is very anxious and protective, SO she is very picky with whom she bonds with!! Emily took All that in consideration And Stormi loved her & Emily’s husband 💙 I will definitely be referring Emily to anyone that needs a sitter! She even sends progress reports, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Mark and Elizabeth were great with Maeve. Maeve had a great time. Mark and Elizabeth updated us throughout our trip with multiple photographs, they are professional, friendly and very responsive. Great with puppies with high energy. Will be utilizing there services again for sure. Highly recommend Mark and Elizabeth

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fairlawn home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fairlawn.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Fairlawn sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
