“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”
“Eliza is absolutely wonderful with my fur babies and gave me such peace of mind while I’m at work. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I really appreciated that she never rushed her visits and stayed for the full time I booked. She takes the time to make sure my dogs are comfortable, happy, and well cared for.”
“She is so accommodating! Being able to arrange a little meet and greet beforehand was nice and gave me peace of mind. My Bagel can be a little nervous around strangers, but she knows exactly how to read him and is making friends with him quickly. It’s clear she understands how to make him feel comfortable, which makes leaving him in someone else’s care so much easier. I have absolutely no worries and feel confident he’s in great hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pets!”
“Kristine took care of my cat over the holidays, she gave thorough updates and was easy to communicate with, I would recommend her and would book again. Thank you Kristine!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of the kitties!!! You kept me in the loop and up to date on their status and behaviors. With both kitties having medical issues and needing special care, I appreciate the attention to detail and additional time you took to make sure everything was just right. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dog for years, and over time friends started trusting me with theirs too. I’m reliable, I pay attention to what each dog needs, and I genuinely enjoy having them around. I’m currently working from home but can take time out of my day during to take care of pets and walk dogs. Since I work from home, I am typically also available to house-sit. I have a cozy townhome in which the dog will have lots of room to move around and plenty of space outside for me to take them on a walk.
“Ashley is awesome. Very down to earth and easy to talk to, she made sure our pups felt at home while we were in town for a wedding. She was an excellent communicator about dog updates and was so easy to work with!”
“Mia was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very professional, sweet, patient and welcomed the long list of things to know about my dog! She was always in communication, always there when she said she would be, flexible, and did all of the things that made me feel comfortable with her taking care of my baby. I would absolutely highly, highly recommend Mia and will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you Mia and Rover!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”
“Our dog usually takes awhile to warm up to people which is why I was shocked at how quickly she warmed up to Jessica. She came home very happy and tired after their hike. You can tell how much she already loves Jessica - she even jumped up by the window to watch her leave , which she doesn’t normally do for other people. Highly recommend Jessica !”
About: I'm an active, energetic sitter who loves to run and play with pets. As a musician who works mostly evenings, I’m available and reliable during mornings. I bring enthusiasm, flexibility, and genuine love for animals, making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m free most mornings and love starting my day with walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I'm happy to come to your home and take care of your dogs. No travel or drop-off needed! My mornings are generally wide open. Let me do the morning walk so you don't have to.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs including my own for over 10yrs. I am an animal lover with experience caring for many different dog breeds and sizes. I can handle puppies who may have higher energy needs and and older dogs who may need a bit of a slower pace. Overall, I can adapt to what best suits your pet. I am working full time and work a rotating scheduling so I am available at times that other people may not be. Can work with you around times! In your home I will follow whatever rules you set and always make sure everything is secure prior to leaving after the dog walk is complete. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet, whether I am visiting them in your home or walking them in the neighborhood. On walks, I watch closely for traffic, other pets/animals, and tailor walks to your dog's age/needs. I will also keep your home clean by wiping paws after walks.
“Another wonderful sit with Meira! She’s so great about detailed updates and so many photos and videos. Deedles loves her - even I can’t touch the belly, but Meira is allowed!”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
“Sarah did a great job with my cat, Pippa, while I was away this week. I received photos and a message every day and always felt that Pippa was in good hands. Would definitely rebook for future visits!”
“Brittany took wonderful care of our big Choco lab, Hopey! She can be barky on walks (gentle giant), but Brittany always takes great care of her. Lots of play and cuddles too! Thanks, Brittany!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairlawn
We couldn’t have been happier with Eliza! She took wonderful care of our Maine Coon kitten for four days, and we are so grateful we found her. She sent us pictures every day, which we absolutely loved, and it was so reassuring to see our baby being cared for and having fun while we were away. She took the time to play with her and give her attention, which meant so much to us. She also left the cat box area spotless and super clean, which we really appreciated! It’s never easy leaving your fur baby, but Eliza made the whole experience so much easier. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and attentive to look after their pet. We will definitely book her again! ❤️🐾
Noah was fantastic as always. He took great care in making sure he understood all of our cats’ needs, was very considerate of time constraints, and exemplifies the kind of person we trust to keep an eye on our fur babies while we’re away. Super kind and puts a lot of thought into each booking and visit. Will absolutely book him again when needed next!

I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pets!
Xavier was able to make some home visits while I was out of town. Onyx is a 50 lb Siberian Husky and Xavier didn't have any issues taking him out for a walk to relieve himself and also giving him fresh food/water. He made me feel comfortable leaving onyx I his care, I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Justina is so great! She went above and beyond to care for my sweet kitty and she took the time to understand his preferences and personality quirks - she really cares about him! Justina did a great job with his medications, feeding and cleaning, she was always on-time, she played with him and gave him the space or love he needed, and she provided me outstanding updates and photos when she was with him. I’m so glad I found Justina!
Jessica was absolutely great. We were very nervous about leaving our dogs with a sitter for the first time but Jessica made those nerves go away. It was hard to find a sitter a 2 months before our 5 day trip so finding Jessica was a blessing. She was great with our dogs & our dogs got along with her from day one. She was reliable, professional, punctual & most of all she truly took care of our boys as if they were hers. She sent daily videos & pictures. Always responded when we had questions. Always contacted us if she needed something. She even was available to check on the dogs during the day after our flight got canceled due to mechanical issues amd we couldn’t get another flight until Thursday night and we were panicking because our booking was supposed to end on Wednesday. She found a way to fit us in so she could stop by and check in on the dogs on Thursday morning and evening. We will definitely be using her again real soon. I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairlawn is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairlawn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
