“Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 cats for a week, despite one of them having a sassy, grumpy attitude toward her. Rebecca is trustworthy, kind, and dependable and I highly recommend her!”
“We’re so glad to have found Jessica! She is attentive, thorough, communicative, and super caring to our cat and dog. She writes detailed notes and send lots of pet photos in every visit, making our time away from home a breeze. Highly recommend!”
“April was wonderful! We felt so comfortable having her in our home watching our boy while away for the weekend. She sent us lots of photos and in them it was clear he loved her just as much as we did!”
“Caitlin is always the best! We are fortunate to have had her walk our dog a handful of times now when we go out of town and she provides such great care, and fantastic updates.”
“Aidan goes above and beyond at every visit. We've had him watch our kitties twice so far, for over a week each time, and he's the best cat sitter we've ever had! He's now our go-to cat sitter. He gives thorough updates, makes sure all three of our cats are individually taken care of, and even made sure to clean up after our kitties' messes so that we came home to a clean house. He's excellent at communication, spent plenty of time with our kitties, and our boys really seemed to love him. I would 100% recommend Aidan!”
“Ellyanna was one of the best sitters I have ever booked through Rover. I was able to go away for the weekend with no stress thanks to her. There were detailed updates on my dogs, photos, and excellent communication when questions arose. I will 100% be booking with her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a passionate dog owner and lover who knows firsthand just how much your pup means to you, because mine mean everything to me. With my own dog at home, I understand the importance of trust, routine, and genuinely connecting with every dog I care for. I’m active, outdoorsy, and especially great with high-energy dogs who need more than just a quick potty break. Whether it’s a brisk walk through the neighborhood or a drop-in visit to break up their day, I bring the same enthusiasm and attentiveness every single time. I’m a details person. Every dog is different, and I truly mean it when I say no instruction is too small. Have a pup with food allergies, a specific leash routine, or certain triggers I should know about? Tell me everything. The more I know about your dog’s quirks, preferences, and needs, the better I can care for them exactly the way you would. Here’s what you can count on from me: • Reliability - I show up when I say I will, every time • Attentiveness - I pay close attention to each dog’s mood, behavior, and individual needs • Communication - Expect updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and thriving • Detail-oriented care - Your instructions won’t just be noted, they’ll be followed to the letter • A dog-first mindset - Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority I’d love to meet your furry family member! Feel free to reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet. I always recommend one before our first booking so your dog and I can get acquainted on their terms. I work from home full time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can be fully present for your pet’s care. I prefer at least a week’s notice before booking to make sure I can give your pup the attention they deserve. My attention to detail means every instruction you give me will be followed carefully and consistently. Before any booking, I encourage you to share any triggers, fears, or allergies your dog may have, no detail is too small. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority, and I treat every home and every pup with the same respect and care I’d want for my own dogs.
“Daniel was very communicative and was happy to work with my anxious dog to build her trust. Daniel made it so I could enjoy my time away knowing my fur babies were taken care of”
“This was my first time using Rover and having Ali take care of my cat while I was out of state was great! Ali was communicative and great with my cat! I would highly recommend hiring Ali 💯😊”
“Angela is GREAT! Went out of town for a week and she cared for my kitties. They were all well taken care of and the litter boxes were clean. She even went above and beyond by putting the trash out. Thanks again Angela!”
About: With 10+ years of experience in pet care and 9 years of hands-on professional work tending to their care & hygiene needs, I bring a deep understanding of the communication & behavior of our 4-legged companions. It is truly one of my life’s missions to help our familiars feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply reassurance, your dog will always be treated with patience, love, and expert care. I've got that "animal whisperer" type of 'tism. 😋 Over the years many dogs & cats of all life stages have come into my care, to some capacity. This has led to experience with successfully redirecting a wide range of behaviors such as reactivity & stress obsessions to repeatedly pawing you in the face cause i love you so much & please keep petting meeee!! I've participated in puppy training, training of all life stages, played the medication dances.. there is slim chance i haven't done it at least once, when i comes to dogs. p.s. After i meet your dog i will likely come home wishing i could take them with me... 😉 but i won't.. promise. I am grateful to work from home. Being tied to one less location creates space for me to tend to your dogs needs & mine with ease. My work days start later in the morning & i don't work past 7pm. This means i have plenty of time to comfortably get yours pups day started & wound down during the week. I take safety and emotional well-being seriously. I’m highly aware of canine body language & individual preferences & I tailor my approach to each pets needs. On walks, I use consistent safety measures such as shielding your dog from unfamiliar humans or animals & steering clear of potential stressors. My priority is creating an environment where your dog feels protected and understood—and where you can trust that their safety is always at the forefront.
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats and am very familiar with taking care of animals of all age ranges. I’ve had extensive experience with puppies I’m currently working part time and would love to hang out with animals for some extra income and a serotonin boost! Love cats and dogs equally I have a fenced environment and depending on dog personality am aware to move dog to other side of street to avoid contact with more aggressive dogs
About: I have been helping out with family and friends pets for about 12 years. I grew up with dogs and I have 3 cats now. I am a swim lessons teacher, so I have lots of am availability! I do not drive, so I bus and walk to all locations! I have done a total of 5 visits in a day so far! I firmly believe that outside time with a pet that hasn't had regular interaction with a person should be on a leash. I would hate to be in a situation where their safety or someone/something else's is jeopardized
“Kristen is an amazing pet sitter!! I always feel completely at ease leaving my cat Teddy in her care. She’s incredibly attentive, texting before each visit to let us know she’s on her way, and sending plenty of photos so we can see how Teddy’s doing. Her communication and reliability take all the worry out of being away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”
“I recently hired Stephanie and Emma to take care of my 2 cats, and am very happy with the experience. They were punctual, communicated clearly, and most importantly showed real affection and attention to my cat’s needs. My cats were calm and happy when I returned, which gave me great peace of mind. I recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”
About: [Preferred name: Keith , He/They] I’ve helped take care of my family dogs since age 10, most being larger dog breeds (german shepherd, huskies, pitbull). From puppy chaos, to older dog care I’ve seen it all. Willing to accommodate for whatever needs- All dogs have their unique quirks and even if its tucking them in at night, Im up to it! I currently work a part time stocking job that allows me to make my own schedule, so my availability is very flexible! For meet & greets I am usually free sometime between 10am and 6pm. Best Contact Hours: 8am to 8pm (PT) I remain available for contact through message or call consistently! If desired updates during care may be sent, whether requested beforehand or spontaneously. [including pictures & videos of course!!] I have reliable transportation and am also willing to allow pets in my vehicle. Of course accidents occur, for such I have a waterproof pet blanket to prevent damage of any kind! [accidents or extra cleaning will never bring complaints/charges as it is expected with pets]
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other small critters for friends and family members growing up. Each pet is unique and has their own special routine they enjoy each day. I enjoy making sure that pets are happy and entertained while I ensure they have all their needs met. I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation in order to best serve you and your pet’s needs. I arrive on time to all scheduled appointments and love to stay organized with my day. I have a cat named Cutie Pie who is the friendliest cat I know! I maintain consistent feeding times for all furry friends and know how important it is to have a safe environment for them. I like to take walks throughout the day with dogs to help them beat the restlessness that can come from not having their favorite people there for them. Making sure pets have fun and stay busy is something I look forward to when I care for new animals.
“Chaunecey was absolutely wonderful. Followed directions, communicated well, and always made sure my babies were well taken care of! I loved the little commentaries she’d have with each visit! Would absolutely recommend to anyone! (:”
About: As an avid animal lover, I've always jumped at the opportunity to help take care of family and friends' fur babies while they are busy. Unfortunately, my current residence does not allow pets. However, I am more than happy to pop in for regularly scheduled chow times, walks, playtime, etc. I'm currently a full-time graduate student and part-time barista. Due to this schedule, my availability for pet care will be primarily in the afternoons and evenings. I understand and appreciate that every pet has a unique personality and reactivity. While actively following the owner's instructions, I practice patience and compassion toward a pet's wants and needs.
“Lindsay took good care of our kitties when we were away. One of the kitties had an eye infection right before our trip and Lindsay was able to help with eye drops as well. She was responsible and diligent and we got picture updates every time. She gave us great peace of mind that our kitties were well taken care of. Thank you!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairwood
Brandy just started drop in visits for my dog, Mabel, this week and it’s been wonderful. I was nervous to have a stranger care for her but Brandy is very communicative, attentive, interactive, and most importantly, super kind to my girl. Mabel is a Newfoundland so sometimes it’s tough to find people who are comfortable with big dogs and Brandy is obviously more than comfortable with her. I will definitely be booking Brandy from here on out and recommend her to those hesitant to use this type of service. She also sends great updates and pictures of their playtime which is awesome.
Caitlin is wonderful! Wally absolutely loves her, which means so much to us because he can be a bit challenging at times as a rescue. He doesn’t always warm up to people easily, but he seems completely comfortable with Caitlin, and she handles him so well. We really appreciate her patience, understanding, and willingness to work with his personality and needs. She’s also a great communicator, dependable, and wonderful with our pets all around. We feel very comfortable having her care for Wally and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! ❤️
Our cats loved Shuyao! She was so great at connecting with our cat who is really shy and doesn’t eat treats from strangers and somehow Shuyao was able to give her treats and make friends with her! Shuyao sent us really sweet pictures of them and took great care. Thank you again, Shuyao!!
Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fairwood is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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 October 2026, there are 12,709 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fairwood. 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 .
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 , 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 Fairwood. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
