“Xavier is responsible and communicative and always on time. Our dog, Reggie loves Xavier and does so much better on the days when Xavier comes to walk him. Xavier goes above and beyond by making sure the puppy mess is picked up at our house before he leaves. I highly recommend Xavier for your pet.”
“Jayla was fantastic with Rusty and went above and beyond, from accepting a last minute booking when our usual sitter fell through to taking extra precautions when someone noticed where we told her to hide the key! Will absolutely be requesting to book again!”
“Samantha was punctual and thorough at our meet and greet and was able to work with my very excitable but friendly dog. She provided updates as the walks were taking place and sent videos of my pup. Will definitely be calling on her again!”
“Maryann was great! She squeezed us in for a last minute meet and greet the day before our first visit. She was very thorough and gave detailed updates.”
“We had never gone on vacation without our 6 year old dogs before. When we planned a trip to Barcelona, this was my one hesitation. Garrett (Xinwei) removed all my apprehension. We met with him before leaving and his kind nature and caring questions gave me the confidence and security I needed to be able to go abroad without worrying about something happening to my babygirls. His every photo captured how happy my dogs were in Garrett’s company, and his daily text updates assured me that they had everything they needed. We will 100% be rebooking with Garrett. :)”
“Emily had no problems getting in and out of the house with our key pad . She was able to get the dogs leashed and on their walk . I have one dog that's 8yrs old and super timid . She usually runs and hides when new people try to leash or pet her. One of my dogs uses a regular leash and the other a gentle lead. It's great to see everything worked out for their first 30 mins walk with Emily . Lookinv foward to their next walk !”
“Katarina is amazing! She was very responsive and took the best care of my little guy. I enjoyed the photos and notes she provided for each walk, can’t recommend her enough and will be using her again!”
“She was excellent with Leo! Went above and beyond and made sure the little bean was well taken care of. I had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I’m caring for patients 🥰”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. They have always had a special place in heart. I’ve had all different types of animals and my sister is a vet so she has taught me some little things. I am currently working a part time job and I’m about to leave for college and need some extra hours. I don’t mind if it’s miles or just down the street. I personally don’t care if I have to go in someone’s house just want their stuff to be out so I don’t have to go through there stuff.
“Katie walked our two dogs three times a day for a week and was fantastic. She was always on time and sent photo updates. We would love to have Katie walk our dogs again - would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even the occasional Axlotl for as long as I can remember! Trusted by friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and strangers. Experience with: Dogs Young dogs Dogs with behavioral challenges Elderly dogs with medical needs Cats (The humble Axlotl) I work a few part time jobs, with some available daytime hours and some available nighttime hours. I always make sure to keep enough time for comprehensive pet care, meaning several walks a day, play, and leisure time together, but there are times when I must spend 6-10 hours out of the house. I have a beautiful, not-fully-enclosed yard that a leashed pet would love to spend time in. I keep a pet free home, but there are animals in my building. I do keep plants, not all of which are pet-safe, but I have a strict system for keeping them quarantined during animal care.
About: My name is Sarah and I'm 33 years old. I took a little stint from Rover to focus on my professional career but I'm back and so excited to start petsitting again! Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I was young. I worked at a vet throughout high school and even started my own dog sitting company in Charleston, SC upon graduation from Virginia Tech - safe to say, I've always been obsessed with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, dogs those with disabilities, cats that require medication, etc. You name it, I've probably had to handle it in all my years of pet care. I love taking dogs on adventures - the beach, hiking trails, etc. I will treat your fur babies like my own and give them the exercise and TLC they deserve while you are away! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open (including weekends). I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and doggy day care (this includes walks, feeding, TLC, medication administration, etc.). I also offer overnight care, whether that be in your home or mine (whatever you and your pet prefer). This is a service I'm currently offering to private clients but am starting to extend to Rover. In my client's homes, I always let them take the lead with their comfortability and with their pet's normal routine. I want to make sure your pet hardly notices you are gone and that they are 100% comfortable and happy with someone in their environment. Whether that means crating them, walking them at specific times, having designated playtime. Again, I let the client take the lead on instructing me in those cases. When I bring a pet into my home, it's important that they get along with cats, as I have two who are very friendly and don't interact too much with my/client's dogs. Currently my Husky is staying with my mom in Virginia, so he will not be in the apartment. I want my space to feel as "homey" to them as possible, so whatever is needed to make that happen, I accommodate.
About: As a pet owner myself, I value honest and reliable care, not only for owners, but the animals themselves. I have experience providing care for a diverse set of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals. I aim to build trust with those for whom I provide care. I am comfortable with administering medication and attending to specific needs. Most importantly, I treat others pets with the same love and attentiveness as I do my own. I work full-time during the week, though I have more flexibility on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I work from home. I am available for drop-in visits any day of the week. I work with my clients to meet their needs and go out of my way to do so. When providing care in an owner’s home, I aim to leave pets and the home in a state that the owner would be happy to return to. I respect the boundaries of owners and pets alike so that I can build a relationship of trust, communication, and reliability. I hope to show my dedication to proper pet care through my actions.
About: I have cared for all varieties of domesticated animals since I was a young child. I am glad to watch all variety of pets. Can’t wait to meet yours! I work In a residential program for young mothers. Outside of that I love to be outside and enjoy most outdoor activities. I’m also very energetic and ready to play with as many animals as I can. I care for pets in my home. I will also do visits for cats who are shy about coming out, as well as pets in large enclosures which are difficult to move. I also provide foster care for homeless dogs through 2 programs here in RI. It’s a passion of mine.
About: Happy to take your pup on short walks for potty breaks, long hikes to release energy, and anything in between! I can bring my own poop bags and treats unless otherwise provided. Experience working with dogs of all ages and social levels. I am happy to wake up early, stay out late, and work part time during the week (some weeks off) from 8:30-4:10 but there will still be plenty of time to put your pets first! Ensuring your dog and you are comfortable is my first priority, I will take as much time as needed to adjust to your pups comforts.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairlawn
Genevieve has been helping out for a month now and she has been so amazing! My dogs love her and we see such a difference in their excitement by the time we get home. Our oldest pup she even is getting more active and plays more. She is a wonderful hire, punctual, communicates with so much notice and is so polite.
Xavier took excellent care of my dog Zoey who’s 2 years old and very energetic. He provided great reports and pictures after each walk which I really appreciated. He was also flexible with scheduling and communicated clearly. I will definitely rebook with him in the future. Thank you!
Laura has been great to work with. We have a reactive dog one of three and she’s been very patient in working with him and getting him to walk on the trails. We appreciate her flexibility and she’s in frequent contact with us so that we know how the dogs are doing highly recommend

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.

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.
