“Grace was wonderful with my dog and my house while we were away for a few days. She was attentive to pet and house needs, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Michelle was by FAR the best sitter we’ve ever had. The updates throughout the day made us feel so secure being away and we came home to a very happy pup. 10 stars!!!”
“Anna took great care of our pups, kitty, and home while we were away. We've used Anna for dog walking before her weeklong stay in our home, and the animals love her. Anna is very gentle and kind, and that reflects when we've seen her interact with all of our animals. She made sure to stay in communication with us and send great pictures to make us feel at ease. We plan on continuing to hire Anna for dog walking or future pet sitting.”
“Michaela did a wonderful job of dog sitting our puppy for two nights! She administered his oral medications, took him to do activities and kept him regulated during fireworks in the area. She also checked in often and loved our puppy like he was her own. I would highly recommend Michaela for dog sitting/walking if you’re looking for a responsible and experienced person to care for your pet.”
“Maya is the best! She did a great job taking care of our anxious pup and left our house clean and tidy. We loved the updates while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Julia helped us out last minute when we couldn't find anyone to stay with our dogs overnight. She was great! She communicated with us and took good care of our 2 goldendoodles. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog Nino! When we got home he was calm and happy! She took him for walks every day and gave him the attention he needed. She took great care of him and our home. We’re so happy we found her to care for him when we travel, we will definitely be using her again!”
About: With a lifelong passion for pets, I've grown up with four dogs and three cats, providing me with extensive pet care experience. I've also offered pet-sitting services for various clients and have had the privilege of assisting my licensed dog behavioral specialist mother for many years, where she has shared her knowledge of behavior and training with me. I have two cats of my own and adore not only them, but all animals. Rest assured, your pets will receive top-notch care and affection during your absence. Your furry companions will be in capable, loving hands! I typically have the most availability weekdays, anywhere from morning until around 5pm. Weekends are dependent on date, and evenings are a bit tougher for me to make work with my second job, but I will do my best to work my schedule around your pets’ needs! Because I have two cats of my own, I unfortunately cannot bring your fur babies into my own home, but I will provide the ideal care for your pet in your home! I understand every pet has different needs, so I will be extremely attentive to them, and treating them with patience and kindness. Whatever they need, I can provide!
“Jenni is super responsive, responsible, and excellent with our dog. She did such a great job dogsitting for us. She handled an issue with the neighborhood water system when it came up too! 5 stars!”
“Zoe took great care of our pets, followed their care instructions, sent plenty of photos, and left the house in good shape too. We know our dog and cats enjoyed being under her care and were happy & healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Sydney did a great job looking after our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was communicative and kept us posted on how things were going. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Bri is an incredible dog sitter who goes above and beyond to provide personalized care for her clients. Our Frenchie adores her and is always happy and well cared for when we return home. We’ll definitely continue working with Bri in the future!”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairlawn
Emily was a great sitter for our dog! We have quite an anxious dog and Emily was kind enough to provide courtesy visits before we left. She was very patient and understanding with our dog, and we felt much more comfortable leaving her under such good care. Her communication was great and she provided daily updates. Would definitely rebook with Emily again!
Kat, as always, went above and beyond for our dog and for our family. Our dog had a medical emergency while we were out of the country and Kat went above and beyond in her care for him and we are forever grateful that we entrusted Kat with his care. I can’t recommend Kat highly enough in all aspects.
Michaela did a wonderful job of dog sitting our puppy for two nights! She administered his oral medications, took him to do activities and kept him regulated during fireworks in the area. She also checked in often and loved our puppy like he was her own. I would highly recommend Michaela for dog sitting/walking if you’re looking for a responsible and experienced person to care for your pet.
Ana was fantastic! She was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of updates and adorable photos while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and it was obvious how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!
Jennifer was great with our dog and cat! She stayed the weekend while we were away, and we knew everything was going well based on the amount of communication (and photos), which was very much appreciated! We would happily recommend Jennifer to others, and will surely use her again!
Jules was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She sent thoughtful daily photo updates, which I genuinely looked forward to each day and really appreciated. It was clear my cat was comfortable, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly respectful of my home, everything was clean, organized, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Jules was reliable, communicative, kind, and clearly someone who truly cares about animals. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, dependable pet sitter!
Katie did a phenomenal job with my cat Gracie! She was communicative, kind, and attentive to detail - and I had a lot of confidence leaving my cat in her care. I came home to a happy cat and a house just like I left it (emptied trash, fresh sheets, clean dishes) - would happily use her services again!
Maricela was fantastic! Lucy loved all the attention and I was grateful for the help with not only my baby but my plant babies as well. We left for a weekend trip our house was spotless and our Lucy was happy. Maricela sent photos and updates everyday- since it was a busy weekend it was reassuring to know she was well taken care of. So grateful
Molly was proactive in her communication and took great care of my dog and cat. She sent us photos periodically, somehow got my cat to accept her as a lap the cat could tolerate and left the house as she found it. We'll definitely have her back again--she's great.
Isabel is the best! We felt so confident in Randy’s care while we were away. She was very consistent with sending updates everyday with pictures. Although not her job, we came home and our home was spotless. We appreciate her so much with our anxious baby and she gave updates of how she saw his confidence boost throughout her time with him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fairlawn on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,233 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairlawn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fairlawn walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fairlawn maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fairlawn choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
