“Highly recommend. Monica was a perfect care taker for our cat. Like most, we felt anxious about leaving our cat for 10 days, knowing Monica was taking care of him, put our minds at easy. Also, took the best daily photos of Banks! 🐱”
“Keerie was great! She had excellent communication. I had her stop by twice to check in on our 3 month old puppies. I appreciated that she sent pictures each time she sent updates. She followed instructions well especially considering the puppies needed extra care instructions since they are still training.”
“Abigail did an outstanding job during her drop-in visit with our two pups. Since it was her first time caring for them, we especially appreciated how punctual, communicative, and attentive she was. She spent quality time with them, made sure they got some exercise, and ensured they took care of their potty break. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being. We were very pleased with her service and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Amber is an amazing sitter. She will drop in on my pets and give them food and cuddles as well as send me updates and pictures, my pets absolutely loved her!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. I am 57. I have done dog training and agility with 2 of our dogs. I have had a puppy and dealt with Senior dogs too. I love to give our dog lots of attention with play time, walking and outdoor activities. I love to take walks and go to other parks too. With the owner's permission, I love to go to the dog park-Bow Wow dog park and the Akron Dog Park. I give your furry one lots of attention with play time-throwing toys-playing fetch with a ball or toy. Letting them have backyard time. We have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to be free. I also will brush your dog and pet them and give them attention, while you are away. I will treat your dog like he/she is my own dog. Another place I will take dogs is Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus for social interaction and exercise. I am at home and available most days. We have a 20 year-old Son, who also loves dogs! My Husband helps out too, with walks and letting the dogs out in our backyard and is a dog person. Currently, I am not working. I have a knee problem and some medical issues that prevent me from working full time. I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. We love to take walks and go to the dog parks. However, if you prefer your dog not to go to the dog park, that is fine. We could go on walks and let your dog go outside in our backyard. We have lots of dog toys, bones, balls, etc... I do have a walk thru pet gate that I set up to block off the kitchen and dining room area. We will feed our dog and your dog separately in separate rooms. I love to brush and pet dogs. If needed, we could bath your dog too. We are a "dog" type family, that is our preference. We have had fish, hamsters and also a guinea pig in the past. I grew up with a cat in our home, as a child. We will throw ball and toys for the dogs and play with your dog. We have a small crate that is in our garage, however we don't usually use the crate. If we leave the home, depending on the situation, if your dog is destructive or chewing on furniture or other items, then we will crate your dog when we leave for church or a short errand. If you have a calm dog and the dog is not destructive and well mannered, then your dog could stay in the family room area, unless you prefer that your dog is in his crate. We will use 2 dog gates near our steps to go upstairs. We prefer that our dog and other dogs do not go upstairs. As a House Sitter, I would do any needed cleaning up of any messes I make. I would be bringing my own food, as I am gluten free and dairy free. The only thing I would need is some freezer and frigerated space for my food. I would follow your normal routine for your dog or dogs. I do have occasional Dr and therapy appointments, fyi. We have a home in Akron, with a fence in our backyard. We live near a forest, it is a quiet area. We have a small neighborhood, where the street dead ends to a forest. We don't get drive thru traffic, that use our area as a "short cut".
About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life and always enjoyed learning their unique personalities and social hierarchies. I am still (forever) mourning the loss of my childhood dogs and funnel my love for them towards any dog I encounter. I was a 4Paws sitter in college, so I have experience with socializing puppies and some basic training, while adapting to the dog's different ages. I have a cat of my own that I love like my own human child, and I spread that care and joy to any kitty I encounter! I am currently very flexible as I am new to the area and between jobs. I have the time to show your pet the care and love that it needs while you are gone! I have my own car so I can easily travel to care for multiple pets if necessary. My yard is not entirely fenced in, but there is grass in the back and front. I have one cat in my home, so I require cat-friendly dogs that can ideally be crated for short periods if needed. As far as other cats, I know it can be situational, but I do have the space to keep the cats separated to begin with/ the whole visit if necessary. All of our indoor plants are pet-friendly as well!
About: I foster for our local pet rescue and do well socializing pups and adult dogs who are child friendly. Avid walker with clean, comfortable home. Your pet becomes part of our family which is why I exclusively take 1 dog at a time for any in-home service. This way, your dog will be the center of attention! I work from home daily so unless I’m at a client visit, you can expect 24/7 care and ongoing updates. I have a lead in the backyard for potty breaks, access to local metro park for long walks, stair gates and a medium pen for crating.
About: I am a high school teacher currently off for the summer. I am new to pet sitting, however I love all kinds of pets. I have pet sitter for friends & family before, but newer to Rover! I was raised with dogs and cats, and currently own 2 cats. I also love pit bulls! I am currently off of work for the summer! I work a part time job that is only 1 day a week. I am available the whole day to watch your pets!! I live in a quiet community, that has varying types of animals! I currently have 2 cats that I love dearly ❤️ I live in an apartment style condo on the top floor. 2 bedrooms, with one bedroom being a cat room/office.
“Lindsay is the best! She took care of our Clark so tenderly and completely! We felt lucky in knowing that she was providing our fur baby with the same love, care and compassion that we give him. We had great communication during her visits and outside of the drop-in timeframes as well. Lindsay was prompt for each of the scheduled arrivals and went above and beyond with her services! The pictures she captured and sent to us are adorable! She's a sweetheart and Clarky misses her! 💕”
“Anna was great with my pup! She had never been cared for by anyone and was very afraid. Anna was very patient with her and made her feel comfortable. Would definitely book her again!!”
“Dakota was amazing with my boys. She was able to connect with my shy one so quickly, which gave me even more relief with their care. She was also extremely easy to reach and she was in constant contact with me. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future for other pet sitting needs.”
“I was very nervous to use the Rover app for the first time but a had a wonderful experience with this. My dog has diabetes and needs a pee break every three hours. An unexpected situation came up and I decided to try this service. He was wonderful and even sent me pictures to insure me that Noah was fine on his visit. Will definitely use again!”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful with my cat - Cupcake! She was sweet, caring and patient with Cupcake and me her worried (I dont leave Cupcake overnight often) owner. Thank you for taking such good care of her! I already have Rebecca booked for the next time!”

I would definitely book Erin again and recommend her to anyone looking for a good cat sitter! Erin was responsive, followed all instructions, and my cats loved her! I especially appreciate it since my booking was so last minute and I wasn’t able to prepare as much as I usually do.
Marie and Jorge were extremely attentive, communicative and kind throughout all the visits with my cat Sorrel- providing a lot of photos for each visit. They accomodated a lot of special requests for my kitty with much compassion, and assured me while I was away. I am very grateful they agreed to help with my stay and were able to care for my cat. Thank you both very much!

Jacob is very friendly, communicative, reliable and very accommodating as I needed someone at the last minute. He did a great job with my dog Koda. I strongly recommend Jacob for pet services. He was very responsible and helpful and set my mind at ease while I was traveling. Yamini Adkins

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fairlawn on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,516 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairlawn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fairlawn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairlawn. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
