“This was my first time getting a cat sitter and Adam did his thing. Definitely a 10/10 my cats went from saying who this man to heeeey friend and that itself says a lot! Thank you ssooooooo much!”
“Fast response, and professional setting up the drop-in visits! My dog took to her right away, and was clearly having a great time in the photos she shared. Highly recommend, and hope to have her take care of Bentley again!”
“Ginnie was able to do drop-ins with our two cats through the Thanksgiving holiday, which we were very grateful for! She was even able to come Thanksgiving day. She was delayed a few times due to snow, but she kept us updated so we knew what was going on. She followed our feeding instructions and the cats were well-cared for while we were gone.”
About: Hi there! I have worked in a veterinary kennel, a daycare/boarding center, completed a PennVet program, and volunteered at the SPCA for years. For what it’s worth, I also risked my life saving a client’s dog from vicious street dogs. At this point I can pretty much handle anything. Let me walk your doggies! I love them all. I am a professor and only teach classes Monday and Wednesday, so I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands, barring random appointments and engagements. We can communicate to make something work. I am very respectful and caring towards others’ animals, spaces and belongings, and would love the opportunity to take care of your pet in your home so that both of you have the least anxiety possible.
About: I have had cats and dogs as pets my whole life. I have also been there for friends, family and neighbors when they need a pet sitter. I currently look after both of my parents dogs while they are at work. Looking to do the same for others I currently have an open schedule and generally flexible on what hours I can work. Please let me know how I can help you and care for your pets! I understand animals have their territory and also enjoy when you respect their personal space. Making sure an animal trusts me is important to me.
“This was our second time booking Marisol and we are so glad she was available. Marisol is reliable, detail-oriented, and patient with our cats who can be shy and finicky. Her reports are always thorough, and the photo and video updates give us such peace of mind knowing our girls are well cared for. Your pets will be lucky to have Marisol to care for them!”
“Julie did a great job with our dogs in our meet and greet and during this check in! She arrived on time, gave updates, and asked questions as needed.”
“Hannah was excellent! From the first meet and greet through the two drop-ins. I appreciated her prompt communication and follow-up. We will be looking to book her in the future!”
About: I’ve worked at multiple animal shelters (including one right now!), animal hospitals/clinics, farms, stables and wildlife sanctuaries! I’m a certified wildlife rehabber and pre- veterinary student so animal care is truly my passion! I am current student at Syracuse! As such I can work around my classes. I’m completely available from Friday-Sundays! Mon-Thurs in the early mornings and evenings! I have worked in the animal/vet field for 4 years so dog walking is nothing new! Whether you have a nervous chihuahua or leash reactive mastiff I promise I’ve seen it all! I use strictly positive reinforcement to build trust and confidence on a walk. Visits will usually include socialization and structured play to make sure your pets aren’t bored but rather fully engaged and comfortable while you’re away!
“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic! He took care of my Loki for 15 days and I couldn't have asked for better service. He was incredibly reliable and flexible, which made my trip so much less stressful. Amazing service – 5 stars!”

“Anne did a great job taking care of our 3 cats! She sends daily updates and pictures so you know how everything is going. I would highly recommend her to others and plan to use her services in the future.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by 5 English Mastiffs, a pitbull, and 5 cats, so I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. Most recently, I had the privilege of caring for my dog Rex during his final months, which gave me experience with health issues, medications, and supporting pets with disabilities. Over the years, I’ve also watched many different dogs, and nothing makes me happier than when they come back for another stay! It feels like welcoming back old friends. Being around animals truly brings out the best in me, and I treat every pet as if they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and gentle, or needs a little extra care, I’ll provide the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to contact me with any questions at any time! I’m available every day for walks and house sitting! I’m currently in PA school and have just one in person class from 8:30-11 Monday-Thursday. If I have to leave them for any amount of time I will be fully transparent and I will make sure it’s within the time frame you prefer! If needed I can take a pet for a day. I’m currently in graduate school at Upstate Medical and just have a class from 8:30-11. But your pet will always be treated like a family member! They will be safe, loved, and well fed. I love playing outside with dogs because it’s the best part of their day!
About: I absolutely love taking care of pets! Regardless of age or energy level, they will be in great hands with me. I have taken care of my cat Garbanzo since she was 6 months old and she is now almost 4! We are absolute best friends and seeing her everyday is such a joy. I also grew up with dogs of varying from small a shih tzuI to a great dane then to pitbull mixes. I have taken care of friends and families pets while they were away and it’s always something I've looked forward to. I love sending pet pictures to their owners to show they are well loved while away, and am communicative if I have any questions or concerns! I want to provide the care for your pet that I would want for mine. I currently have an open schedule while in between jobs. This means daily check-ins even a couple time per day will work for me. My calendar will be updated as that changes. I will follow instructions provided to me by the owner to ensure proper care as all pets require something different. If I have any questions I will be sure to reach out to the owner. I want the owner to feel comfortable knowing I will follow what they want for their pet.
About: My name is Jen. I have always been a pet owner. Typically, I raise cats but I have become a dog person the last few years. I began fostering and can care for puppies, seniors and small dogs. My own dog has cerebellar hypoplasia so I am familiar with special needs. I have a fenced in yard for your pet to run and play. I have the ability to stop home mid-day to let dogs outside, or give an extra meal to a senior pet. I am home on weekends to care for pets openly. I have a fenced in yard of my own to let animals out, typically I supervise dogs outside that are not my own to make sure they do not get too adventurous in the new environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairmount
Ciarra did a great job taking care of Cleo!! She responded right away after our Rover request. Ciarra did drop ins for our elderly cat that needed medications while we were on vacation. We appreciated her willingness to provide the meds for our beloved Cleopatra. Ciarra is sweet, professional and efficient. Would recommend her for a trusted animal caretaker.
Thank you again to Ginnie for taking care of our two cats. They both need a little extra care with their food because of medicine and sensitive tummy issues and Ginnie took care of that. She also was able to water our 3 outdoor potted plants which we really appreciated!
Mikala did an excellent job taking care of my kitty. She was able to give her an oral medication every day while also making sure all her needs were met…scooping litter, changing her water and making sure she had clean dishes and fresh food.i would absolutely recommend her and use her again myself.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairmount is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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 569 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairmount. 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 Fairmount. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
