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: Hi! I’m Shadya. I have experience caring for pets through pet sitting and from having pets of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while in my care. I’m currently studying Veterinary Technology and I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid. I know every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently in college, but I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s usual routine. I always do my best to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they’re in my care! I’m happy to follow their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or any instructions you leave. I also understand that every pet has their own personality, so I’m patient and always make sure they get the care and attention they need.
“This was our first time using rover.com and we couldn't be more thrilled about it! Maryann did exactly what the app said she would and most importantly made our pup Jersey feel safe with her. Will defintely be utilizing this app more in the future as well as hoping Maryann is available as well! Thank you rover.com and Maryann, you have made us so happy to know that while we aren't around our Jersey will be well cared for! 5 stars all around !”
“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. :)”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairlawn
Kristine is the most wonderful dog walker, and just a great person all around. She's extremely professional, always on time, communicates well and openly, and always always makes sure that Charlie's needs are her number #1 priority when he's in her care. I can't recommend her enough!
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

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
