About: I have spent every year of my life with a dog by my side. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my friends and family for the last 15 years while they go out of town. Which led me to adopting my own fur baby about 5 years ago. I am currently unemployed, so I am available all day for walking or pet sitting. My dog has grown used to me being gone for at least 8 hours a day. I am capable of crating dogs, taking them for walks, giving treats, feeding them, making sure they have plenty of water, playing fetch, providing any necessary medicines. Whatever your fur baby needs.

About: I have many years of experience with pet sitting. This includes feeding, overnight care, taking them for walks, cleaning up after them, etc. I have experience with both cats and dogs. I am an elementary school music teacher. I love being outdoors and currently walk at least 3 miles myself each day. Having dogs to walk would work with what I already do on my own time, plus bring me so much enjoyment. I am reliable and can provide references. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! -Ciara Smith I work as an elementary school music teacher. I have summers off so I have a lot of flexibility in my availability. Otherwise during the schoolyear, I work until 3pm and then I am free all night. I do not care for pets in my own home. In youe home, I will carefully follow all instructions given. If not written down, I will write them down myself. I will ensure all safety measures with the owner before the visit and have a list of all the things I need to know before being put in charge of their pets care to ensure the besy safety of them.

Absolutely amazing! Katherine not only booked on short notice (I was freaking out because our normal walker had to cancel last minute!) She was personable, went above and beyond and most importantly to me, Cookie loved her! It’s always scary leaving our pets home for trips etc. Katherine will put you at ease. Thanks again!!!

I care for every pet in my home with the same dedication and high standards I use for my own animals. I am highly experienced in recognizing pet distress, administering medications, and following complex routines, skills honed both on the farm and in my own home. I ensure every stay is safe, structured, and stress-free, treating your pet as a valued member of my temporary family.

About: Hi! Currently we have a 7 month old toy Australian shepherd puppy. I am a very active person that loves to love on pups by taking them for walks, playing in my fenced yard or offering snuggles! You can expect a total dog lover who will follow your rules and make your pup feel comfortable. I prefer smaller dogs with lots of energy because I love to walk dogs! I work from home. I enjoy taking the boarded pups for 1-2 walks per day. Our senior pup recently passed but I love the oldies too! Lots of love for them! I have a large, fenced yard and many routes for walks. I am an avid runner and can run with your dog at a pace of 8-9 minutes per mile for a minimum of 1 mile and maximum of 6 miles, after that I get tired!

I used Annie for a few walks with my 2.5yr old lab and she was amazing! She took her for nice walks and even hung out with her in the yard, as my dog loves to sunbathe. Winnie can be hesitant with new people, but you can tell from the pictures she sent that she loved having Annie here! Thanks so much and will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!

About: I have experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I know great helpful training techniques. Also, I grew up living with dogs up until now. I have a full time Hybrid job. I work from home 3 days a week and the workload has been fairly light. I currently live with no furry friends and am missing the connection with them. I want to hold off on adopting right now so I thought the best way to fulfill my wants of having a dog will be through this app. I have no fenced in yard or much of a yard at all. My home is spacious though, so there is enough room for your pet to be comfortable and play indoors. I have 3 reptiles that will stay in their tanks and do not cause disruptions. They also love watching other animals from afar.

Haily was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough! She took care of my 14 year old Maltese Poodle, Sisco, for a week while I was in Colorado, walking him twice a day and making sure he was fed and well cared for. Normally, I have family watch him because he tends to get anxious when I’m away, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new. Haily completely put my mind at ease. She was so kind and patient with him, and it was obvious from all the updates, photos, and detailed commentary that she genuinely cared about him. Seeing how happy and comfortable Sisco looked in every picture meant so much to me. It made being away from him so much easier, and I knew he was in great hands. Thank you, Haily, for taking such amazing care of my little guy. I would absolutely book with you again!

About: I have owned a pup for 13 years and taught him how to be the best behaved dog at home - not to mention, I give the best doggy hugs and kisses :) My Fiance and I work from home all week so it’s usually not common for any dogs to be left alone. I give them all of my attention, and assure you are updated with all my pupdates!! I make sure to give them enough time outside, feed them, hydrate them, and of course give them unconditional love! Currently work from home and a very flexible job so I am able to provide most attention towards your pup and in general I have a lot of free time I got on multiple walks every day, I prefer walks over letting them out for potty breaks in a fenced yard. Getting their energy out on a long walk always calms them down a bit more throughout the day and I ensure they get all attention throughout the day :)

About: Natural born dog whisperer. Wanted a Pit bull ended up with a Chihuahua. I truly believe Cuco, my dog, was my animal soulmate. Although he has since passed, I loved caring for him full time and now hope to have the opportunity to care for your pup part time. I am a patient walker — even if that means infinite stops to sniff stuff. Will always speak to them as I would to a human child. Plus, no human children in household only your pet child. Can help with potty training and social/public anxiety relief. Guaranteed good belly rubs, affection, and fresh bowl of water/food at all times under my care. I’d be thrilled to take very photogenic pictures of them and send them your way along with updates. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional questions and/or concerns. I am a remote employee and am home 100% of the time with your pet. Pups are welcomed to join me for a day of work, enjoy window views (bark at delivery drivers) and take all the naps desired. Sliding door for them to look outside while inside. Indoor cameras to keep an eye on pup if up to trouble from my office. Designated space in the living room, kitchen, office, and loft for them. This is our home, and we hope to make your pup feel right at home too—pups are allowed on all furniture (couches, human beds). My partner Martin also lives here—he’s a very loving caretaker of dogs and often helps keep them busy on weekends or when he’s not at work.

About: Hi, my name is Caitlyn. I am an experienced dog owner and caretaker. I have a very friendly, playful and energetic dog. She gets along well with other dogs, but can be separated if necessary. I offer boarding, sitting, walking & drop in visits. I also offer basic bathing. I will pick-up or drop-off pets if necessary. I have experience caring for cats as well, however in the case of boarding I do no know if my dog would get along with a cat as she has never met one. I always like to meet and greet with before caring for a pet. I would love to care for your pet! I work at home full time so I am pretty available during the week. I am available most weekends as well. There is not much to my schedule that I need to work around. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a 50ft leash and an in ground stake. I am very active and go for walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park. I am flexible to whatever the pet needs or is used to.

Jake has been excellent to work with! In just a short time he’s won over our dog Cooper who is both stubborn and has anxious. He’s also reliable, always showing up on time, and does a great job of communicating and updating us on how Cooper did on his walk.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fairmont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fairmont on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,986 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fairmont. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Fairmont. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fairmont.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairmont. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
