“Katherine is amazing! We have a very shy cat who typically hides from people and Katherine won him over right away! She took great care with our cats and was excellent at communicating with us. We never had to worry at all! We will definitely hire her again and can't recommend her services highly enough.”

About: I've had pets since I was a little girl. I have my own Border Collie Arya and Devon Rex Tyrion at home. I am an attentive and loving pet owner who is familiar with giving medications. I currently work full time as a youth services librarian. My schedule is flexible to drop in on your pet during the week, and I always have flexibility on the weekends. I love to spend time cuddling pets and loving going on walks with them. Both my pets at home love attention. I am familiar with giving pet medications since both of mine take daily meds.

About: I am an ICU nurse turned stay-at-home mom. I used to volunteer at PAWS (animal shelter) before I had my baby! I’d truly love to help you out by providing dog or cat care in your home. I am comfortable with all different breeds and temperaments. I am caring and trustworthy. I will treat your pets like my own. I have a very active, strong golden retriever. Grew up with cats and am very comfortable with them as well. Safety is my highest priority. I look forward to helping your animal have a potty break, stretch their legs, walk, and (if they want) provide some pets! I can also administer medication (pills, insulin, etc.) if needed. I am a stay at home mom that has a little bit of free time each day. I can stop by as requested or we can set up a daily or weekly plan! I will let your dogs out to potty, walk, stretch their legs, and/or keep them company for a bit. I can put on collars or harnesses if your property does not have a fence.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.

About: Hello, my name is Mia! I've been a long time animal lover since I was a kid, and I was fortunate enough to finally adopt my own pet in 2015 (a sweet English Bulldog named Bleu) and I've been caring for her ever since. I have extreme love and affection for any animal, so I will treat your pet just as my own. Caring for animals and making them happy is very fulfilling for me. I am well versed and experienced in caring for Bulldogs (all the special considerations and health issues that come with them), but I will gladly take care of any other breed as well. I have no breed preferences when it come to caring for pets! My schedule is a bit different since I work night shift 3x week. However, I will do my very best to work with you and your needs on my days off! I love taking the time to care for animals when I am able as it’s very therapeutic. I will make sure that your pet will get the proper care and attention it needs. If there are any special considerations, preferences, or requests that your pet requires (no matter how big or small), I will gladly ensure that their needs are met. I know the anxiety that comes with having someone take care of your fur baby, especially if the have special needs, so I will do everything I can to ease your worries if you have any questions. I will also provide lots of pictures during any walks/visits so you can see your pup is safe and having fun! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

The photos Sydney sent with her interacting with Lacy were just what we needed to see. Sydney is a calm and friendly Rover employee. We will Definitely request her for our next vacation and will recommend her to our friends. Thank you Sydney!!!”

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: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is a lifetime of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds—from cats, dogs, and birds to rabbits. My expertise spans every stage of a pet’s life, including raising energetic puppies and delivering compassionate end-of-life care for a terminally ill dog who needed to be hand-fed and wear diapers at just six years old. As an authentic animal lover with a deep well of specialized experience, I bring both the practical knowledge required for complex care routines and the genuine empathy every pet owner looks for. ♥️🐾 Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, serving as a primary focus alongside my other responsibilities while I am currently not working traditional hours. A major part of my days is dedicated to caring for my daughter's two German Shepherds, which keeps me active with regular feeding, exercise, and attentive supervision suited for large, high-energy breeds. Balancing this with part-time house cleaning and studying to earn my real estate license has taught me how to manage my time effectively, ensuring that every dog in my care receives consistent attention, structured routine, and dedicated affection throughout the week. When caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routine to keep them feeling safe, happy, and stress-free. I adhere strictly to their usual feeding schedule, walking habits, and medication needs, while providing plenty of quality playtime and affection to keep them company. Beyond basic care, I keep a watchful eye on their health and behavior, ensure your home stays clean and secure, and send regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: 👋 I’m Leah, also known as Busy Bee All Animal Sitting Services. 🐝 While you're busy, I keep your pets happy and healthy. Pet sitting is my full-time job and I’m licensed, insured and bonded, and certified with 2 pet professional associations. Check out my Facebook at Busy Bee All Animal Sitting Services for more info. I’ve worked professionally with pets of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotics - rabbits, rodents, turtles/tortoises, etc. - there is not one I do not love! All pets are awesome and deserve only the best. I'm available 24/7 and in case of emergencies. My schedule is highly flexible. I've even taken care of animals as owners went into labor. If you become a client of mine, you will be notified months in advance if I ever need to go out of town. I provide in your home visits for all animals and dog walks. I do have pets of my own but I am open to discussing overnight visits or short in my home stays for repeat clients. I practice safe handling and walking techniques. I can feed, clean, play and snuggle, and safely administer medication as requested. I provide care just as you would. The animals are what keep me going and I take my work very seriously. It is of utmost importance to me to first have a meet and greet to understand all about your pets and how I will be providing the best services I can. Safety is my number one priority. In the event of a question or a concern during visits, you will always be notified immediately. I pet sit because providing for animals is not only my passion but my lifelong profession. I am in it for the long haul and want to be there for you and your best friends.

About: What sets me apart for other sitters is that I have them enjoy their walks at their own pace. In my years of experience, I have not only taken care of dogs but also cats just to name a few. Every animal is unique in their own way so being kind goes a long way. I like to have the owners as well as the dogs comfortable with me so I obtain as much information from the owners regarding their furry friends as I can. I am currently free to play, drop-in or bring your furry baby home with me. Whatever your pets needs are, I am here to help. I have a big backyard where I normally allow the dogs to run and play. But it does not have a fence in one area where the driveway begins. My home has two floors which the downstairs I use for the dogs to lay down, play or sleep. I do own a dog myself but she isn't allowed to interact with guests dogs unless previously approved by the guests parents first. I also have cameras, where I can capture video and photos to send to the pet parents.

About: As a proud Doberman owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! Caring for my own dog has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, exercise, enrichment, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and sizes. I understand that every pet has their own unique needs, and I strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or a little extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own! I currently work full-time during the week, but I love making time for animals outside of my regular work schedule! I’m generally available for evening visits and walks during the week, with more flexibility on weekends. As a dog owner myself, I’m already accustomed to incorporating walks, playtime, and pet care into my daily routine. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to ensure their furry friends receive the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own dog. When caring for pets in their homes, I make sure to follow their established routines, feeding schedules, and any specific instructions provided. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will always respect your home and belongings. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away!

About: Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, and I've also had the pleasure of dog sitting for many friends over the years—sometimes for several weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding,I'm dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Dog walking and boarding fit very well into my schedule. I work in the office from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM on weekdays, and I'm home for the rest of the day, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. During the few hours I'm away, your dog will have the companionship of my friendly, well-socialized dog, so they won't be alone. Once I'm home, I'll be available for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I live in a gated community which is extremely secure. We also have numerous huge dog parks in the community but I would only take the dogs when it is just them in the dog park, safety is the priority!

About: I used to be a farm manager and not only took care of domestic pets, but livestock too! I know everyone says that animals love THEM the most, but pets are really drawn to me. I think it’s because I have a deep reverence for them and their ability to so easily love people unconditionally. I also respect their boundaries because I understand that they cannot communicate as easily as we do. I am currently unemployed and going to school part time so my schedule is very open right now! I enjoy nature, even when weather is inclement, and will be there rain or shine. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your pet! No matter how detailed. I would care for your pet in the same manner I care for my own, which is obsessively. As a former anxious pet owner (sometimes I still am), I will provide photos and updates whenever I am with them. I also respect your privacy, as I know allowing someone into your home can be intimidating.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fairmont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairmont is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 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 4,516 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairmont. 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 Fairmont. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
