House Sitting in Fairlawn

“Kim is an excellent sitter. She sends frequent updates about our pets and clearly cares about their wellbeing. Knowing Kim is at our hour taking care of a crazy dog and two goofy cats always helps us relax more on our vacations.”

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. Walks aren’t just quick potty breaks to me. I pay attention to pace, energy level, and what your dog actually enjoys, whether that’s a structured walk, a slower stroll, or getting some extra energy out in the backyard. 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. 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.

“Audrey takes the best care of my dog and home. She keeps me posted, including pictures, of their daily activities. She gives BamBam so much love that I’m sure he is very sad that she leaves when I return.”

“This is the 3rd time we've used Lori to watch our pup, Marshall. It is so nice to be able to escape on a vacation and know that our baby will be taken care of and loved. Lori stayed at our place again and everything was in order when we returned. She even washed our sheets on the bed! She is such an incredible person, so kind and kept us updated via Rover every day. 10/10 recommend Lori to care for your pet! Thank you Lori!! <3”

“Alex (William) was fantastic! My dogs immediately took to Alex’s calm and friendly demeanor and seemed to really like him. I was gone for 10 days and Alex sent pictures every day - usually one of each dog, twice a day, and that was really comforting for me to see how well they were doing. Alex also left the house better than he found! Alex is simply the best! You can’t go wrong with him to care for your pets and home.”

“Kaitlyn was an absolute life saver, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our 3 Pomeranians! Kaitlyn was able to watch our dogs all day while we were off getting married, and she made sure everything was perfect with the dogs and our home so we could fully relax and enjoy our special day without having to worry about our fur-babies. We HIGHLY recommend Kaitlyn as she's punctual, attentive, and the dogs LOVE her, which is obviously a great sign! We wish we could give more than 5 stars to represent just how great Kaitlyn is/was! We can't thank Kaitlyn enough, and we can't wait to have her spend time with our dogs again soon!”

“Chelsea is fantastic. She was so good with my knucklehead for the time she spent here. She was quite empathetic and caring for my doggo and a great caretaker for the house. 10/10 would certainly recommend.”

“Konnie did an absolutely amazing job watching our dog and two cats while we were out of town!!! I got updates and photos while she was watching them and even put up with all my little requests. I think my house may have been more put together after she left than it was when she got there. We will 100% be using her again when we have to leave town. I cannot recommend her highly enough. THANK YOU KONNIE ?”

“Sarah was absolutely great! She is great at communication both before and during the day, kept the house clean, and most importantly kept the animals safe while we were away. We are looking forward to using Sarah in the future!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals in some form or another! I’ve been the family + friends pet sitter for as long as I can remember, everything from dogs to cats to ferrets to snakes; it is always such a joy. I know how important your pet is to you, and I would be honored to be given the opportunity to take care of them and show them the love they deserve! Keeping your pet happy and in good care is my goal, always. From walks, to playtime, to just keeping them company, to anything else (i know each dog’s personality is unique and that they each have different needs, and I will treat them as such), I will always be happy and willing to do what I can. I am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule, so depending on what your needs are, I am happy to do whatever I can to make that work! Keeping your pet safe is my top priority. I know that what that means specifically will always depend on each person and their fur baby. However you want your little friend taken care of, that is what I’ll do.

“Ally is the best ! From the time she arrived our pup loved her! Ally took her on walks, sent photos and video and the communication was perfect! When my dog is calm and relaxed, we know she had a fantastic day. Would highly recommend using Ally!”

“She was absolutely fantastic. We were out of town for longer than we've been before, but we felt completely comfortable and knew our pets were happy and healthy.”

About: I have three cats of my own that I take care of. My family has always had a dog or cat in the home, so have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I am currently working full time from home, so I am flexible when it comes to my daily and weekly routine. We can find a schedule that works for us both! I currently have three cats that.. run our household 😅 they are well tended to and have many toys. Under my care, I will be able to keep your pet happy, healthy and safe

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and horses, so caring for animals has always been part of my life. From a young age, I was expected to help take care of them and learn what they needed—whether that was energetic puppies and kittens or older animals who needed a little extra patience and care. Over the years, I’ve had a lot of hands-on experience. I’ve cat sat for cats with disabilities and learned how to adjust care to meet their specific needs. I also volunteered at the Animal Protective League and One of a Kind Pets as a cat cuddler, where I helped socialize shelter cats and build trust with them so they’d be more comfortable around people and ready for adoption. I also spent time walking dogs at the shelter and giving them attention and consistency. While living in Akron, I regularly watched a family’s senior dachshunds—very needy little dogs that required a lot of patience, routine, and love. I’m very comfortable caring for senior pets and understand how important it is to go at their pace and pay attention to the little things. Overall, I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. Caring for them has never felt like a job to me—it’s something I naturally enjoy and take pride in. I’m a teacher, so my schedule opens up a lot more in the summer, which gives me great flexibility for pet care. During the school year and summer, I’m available for evening walks or drop/ check-ins after 4pm Monday through Friday. Saturdays are mostly wide open for me, and I’m also available on Sundays. Look below for a schedule breakdown! In the summer, I have even more availability and can typically do morning, afternoon, or evening visits any day of the week (Sun–Sat), depending on the week. I’m also open to overnight stays when needed. I do have a few pre-planned trips coming up this summer: June 19–26th, July 3rd, and July 16–27th, but outside of those dates I have an open and flexible schedule. Monday-Friday: 3-11pm drop-ins (dogs or cat) & dog walking Saturday-Sunday: SAME DAY BOOKING for all day drop-ins (dogs or cats) & dog walking *unless specified for that particular weekend, might need at least 1 day noticing** I live in an apartment, so I’m not able to host pets in my home (no boarding). However, I’m more than happy and fully comfortable caring for pets in your home where they feel safest and most at ease in their own environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, or just giving them companionship and attention. I always aim to keep things calm, consistent, and stress-free for your pet, especially since being in their own space helps them feel secure.

“We highly recommend Owen as a sitter. This was our first time using the app and he was super easy to work with, responded quickly to messages, and took great care of our puppy! He kept us updated and sent photos. Our puppy had a great time!”

About: I have cared for various dogs and love to learn their individual personalities. It is an absolute joy to learn what each dog prefers to do on their walks, how each one likes their food, as well as if a dog prefers babies/soft toys or is more of a bone gnawer/tugger. Walking with dogs at their pace is one of my favorite ways to explore outside! I am a nanny and love to help my community! Helping in the classroom, families at home, and caring for children (furry or human) is my passion. My schedule is flexible and I try to help as many people as I can with my days. I care for pets as I would want someone to care for my most precious thing (my pet). I love to send updates and photos of outings/visits so you can feel like you're part of the fun.

“A+++ a fantastic person who was so caring for my little guy. Catherine provided just the right amount of updates with photos and videos of his progress / status. She took him on walks and helped him with his training journey. She’s thorough upfront to know what’s needed and is comfortable asking questions throughout. She’s thorough upfront to make the process smooth. She really earned my trust during this stay and I’d love to have her support again in the future.”

About: I have had dogs since I was little and love playing with them and taking care of them. I’m an athletic person so if the dog is in the mood to play, I can certainly be a great playmate! I have experience with dog sitting overnight, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I work at a nursing home, but I get to choose the shifts I pick up, so my schedule can be very flexible. I am looking for more pups to help out! I can provide overnight care at the owners home. While I am there, I make sure to take your dog for walks, play outside, and give lots of rubs and cuddles. As a person, I am very low maintenance, so you won’t have to provide hardly anything if come care for your pups overnight.

“Melody is an incredible pet sitter and an overall wonderful human being. I wish our pets could talk so they could tell us how much they enjoy her company. From the daily pictures she sends us while we're away, it looks like they're having a blast! We're so grateful that we connected with Melody through Rover - we have the utmost trust and peace of mind knowing that our pets and our home are well cared for. She even brought them gifts to play with during her last stay!”

“Melissa was a joy to have stay and take care of our pet. Buddy loved her and all of the attention she was able to share with him. We will definitely use Melissa again if she is available.”
