Monica was pleasant and interested to know all the little things about my doggies. She was timely, played with my dogs and took them for a walk. I will be having her back!

Finn gets so much joy when his friend Cassie comes! All I have to say is ‘guess who is here’ before she rings the bell and he runs to the front door, with his most excited barking and greets her with so much enthusiasm! And she gets more kisses from him than I do!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Marie is absolutely phenomenal! I had never needed a dog walker before, and was a little nervous putting my dogs care in another's hands. I read the good reviews which eased my anxiety, and let me tell you, there aren't enough stars to give her. Since the first time I reached out to her, she was always very responsive and communicative. She always confirmed dates/times, and sent me an ETA for each walk to let me know exactly when she'd be here. She was great managing all three of my corgis, sent fun pictures throughout their walks, and let me know how everyone did afterwards. Marie is 100% an animal person, and my trio knew it from the moment they first met. They'd get so excited when her car pulled up & they knew their new friend was here. I had planned on only requiring services while healing from surgery, but we will feel very comfortable leaving our pack in her care in the future. Marie is genuinely one of the nicest people I have ever met, and truly is a helper. Your animals will be in excellent care with her.

About: I have experience caring for pets, including training puppies and giving extra gentle care to senior pets. What makes me stand out is how much I truly care about each animal’s unique needs and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize consistent time for feeding, exercise, play, and rest. I make sure to set aside dedicated moments each day to attend to pets’ needs, whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, so they always feel cared for and comfortable. I can do drop in visits and dog walking any time tuesday-thursday. friday thru monday i can do 6-8:30am and 9-10pm. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe and calm environment. I make sure all areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, keep their food and water fresh, and maintain a clean space. I also follow any specific instructions from the owner closely, whether it’s about feeding, medication, or exercise, to build trust and ensure pets feel secure and comfortable.

About: I'm the guy everyone asks to pet sit because I never say no! I'm reliable, attentive, and patient and never met an animal I didn't like. I'm a freelance artist which gives me loads of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. Short notice is fine. Life throws curve balls sometimes, and I'm here to help. I abide by the golden rule, and treat all animals as if they were my own family. I pay attention to details and follow all specific instructions for our special friends!

About: My husband and I have loved getting to dog sit for friends and family. When we heard about rover we got so excited! My husband and I are both runners and are happy to take the dogs we watch on runs/ walks and hikes. We also have enjoyed our new home which came with a fenced in yard. Giving the dogs freedom to run and play is so fun to watch! Every dog we watch feels right at home and we love to cuddle with each and every one. I am currently a stay at home mom for my 5, 4 and 2 year old and think your pup will fit in just right with our fun crew. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am currently working part time, and I have plenty of time to work your pup into our daily routine. We have three kiddos at home so a routine is something our family thrives on. We have a beautiful fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play. We also have a crate that can be utilized if need be. There is an extra room we use for dogs to be able to take a break if need be.

About: As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I have the professional and medical knowledge to provide top notch care in your home. I have worked at various veterinary clinics, providing medical care to many pets in the area. I am able to give medications, assist with nail trims, give SQ fluids (if prescribed/provide by DVM). I also know Canine and Feline CPR and First Aid. I'll gladly answer questions about my experience and skills! I have an ebay clothing store, so I have plenty of free time to come walk, feed, play and stay with your furry family members! I am confident walking 2-3 dogs on leashes, depending on the size. I respect your house and your pet's space. I try to leave somewhere cleaner than when I found it. I am a very tidy person and don't mind cleaning up an accident or light housekeeping.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I'm attentive to each animal’s unique needs and have a calm, gentle approach—whether it’s playing with an energetic pup or giving extra care to a senior pet. I’m also reliable, patient, and happy to follow any special routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe and loved. I teach ESL online, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to work from anywhere. That means I can stay at your home and be present throughout the day to care for your pet—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m able to build my routine around your pet’s needs. I offer in-home pet sitting, which means I can stay at your home to provide consistent care and companionship while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment.

About: I grew up always having dogs in the household, but currently do not have any. However, my wife and I have cats. Five to be precise, lol. We've also helped around 40 stray cats over the years get spayed, neutered, or rehomed. It's a sad, never ending battle, but always worth it! I also donate to local shelters and non-profits when I have the funds. Things I offer depending on which service: - Daily walks - Potty breaks, up to 1-5 times per day - Combing at least once per stay - Waste removal - Medication - Play time - Treats! I hope through Rover I am able to bond with your pup or kitty and build friendship & trust with your family.

About: Hi! I’m Erin, an Ohio State graduate with over 10 years of pet sitting experience, specializing in dog/cat care. I offer both drop-in visits and overnight stays, with a big focus on making sure your pet stays in their normal routine. I’m confident handling different sizes, temperaments, and leash behaviors, and always prioritize safety and consistency. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring. I’m very detail-oriented and tuned in to behavior, so I pick up quickly on what makes each dog comfortable. I keep communication clear and consistent with updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I also keep things clean, calm, and organized in your home during visits or overnight stays. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the trust that goes into leaving your pet with someone. With years of building my long term clientele, I can assure you your pets will be treated like my own everytime! My goal is to make your dog or cat feel secure, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who goes beyond the basics, I’d love to connect and meet your pets:) I have dedicated my days and weekends to providing loving care for animals! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet sitting a priority in my day to day life. Most of my experience has been pet sitting in the owners home or drop ins! I provide overnight services as well. Since I have 2 cats of my own, I would allow dogs to stay at my home if they have experience being around cats. I am dedicated to making each animal feel as comfortable as possible and making sure they feel loved while you are away.

About: I am and have been vegan since I was a child. I’ve always had a deep love for and towards animals ever since I can remember. I like to be in animals energy and presence. Even when giving “care” it’s enjoyable and pleasing for me to offer that for your pets. I bring a calm and peaceful vibe to any situation. I want to be a safe and comfortable space for your animals. ~ If you book the house sitting option, I am only available to sit throughout the day. No sleepovers. I currently am a part time student studying vet tech with a fine arts minor! I have a great amount of free time and flexible schedule to accommodate “different” jobs and care. I live in an apartment with 3 cats. I don’t have any closed off areas at the moment and my cats free roam around the house.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fairlawn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fairlawn on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,390 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fairlawn. 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 your Fairlawn. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fairlawn.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Fairlawn. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
