“Rebecca was so kind to take out last minute booking. She made time to meet us and our pups before our booked service so everyone was comfortable. Our dogs have some anxiety but Rebecca made sure they got the attention they needed while we were away. Would recommend without hesitation and we plan to use her again in the future.”

“We’re so happy that Natalie was available to check in on our pets while we were out of town. She was on time every day and met the needs of our Pups. We will definitely seek her out for our future needs.”

“Rachel was a great sitter! Appreciated she made time to see our home and meet our cat Cora before we were away. Super communicative, and we felt Cora and our home were both well taken care of. Would definitely ask Rachel to sit again and recommend her to others!”

“Jessica is a great dog sitter! She was able to help us last minute and during Thanksgiving! She consistently updated us with pictures of Bella. She kept Bella engaged and gave a lot of attention.”

“Fantastic sitter. My 2 cats are very shy and hide when they see other people. She did a great job of communicating their presence and that they were healthy. She also went out of her way to give me updates and my yard/trash pick up dates. Highly recommend.”

“Jenna was amazing!! I was very impressed with our initial meet and greet. She took lots of notes and asked lots of questions. She was on time and updated me every visit and sent lots of pictures! My dog loved her visits. Will definitely use her again!!”

“Thank you Brendan for taking good care of Maya! She was a very happy pup last night and this morning. I know she has a few special needs as a foster dog who's needing to put on weight and trouble holding it when needing to go to the bathroom. You did a great and I can tell she enjoyed the extra attention and care you gave her.”

About: I currently have 2 dogs and 3 chickens for 5 years and counting. I had three cats for about 10 years. Growing up I had dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. Weekdays I'm available after work at 3pm. I'm available some weekend days for the whole day, and sometimes I have weekdays off and I'm available the whole day. My house has a fully fenced in backyard. Also a Greenway trail right behind us, and a park that is a 3 minute walk away.
About: I've basically been taking care of dogs all my life! I can't even count how many I've had in my life. More recently, I've taken on fostering, accommodating dogs with health issues, which I've been doing for ten years or so. I have two frenchies I take care of at home, one that's basically a large, lazy cat, and another that's small and rambunctious. I also walk and dogsit twice a week for a friend of mine who doesn't have the ability to do so frequently. I give them attention when they're needy, dry them off after a walk if it's raining, or snuggle up with them if they're feeling a little more cuddly.
About: I really believe the world is better with animals, and they deserve nothing but love—because that’s all they have to give us. I know every dog requires different treatment and attention, and every animal is unique. My husband Marcus and I are hardworking, kind, and huge animal lovers with lots of love to give. We both enjoy being outdoors and are happy to stop by your house to give your pet some food, scratchies, and snuggles—or take them out for fresh air, whether that’s throwing a ball or taking your older little guy on a slow, senior-friendly stroll. I grew up surrounded by animals and animal lovers. When I was younger, I trained my German Shepherd puppy to master all her tricks, and when she got older and became incontinent due to her elderly age, I provided hands-on care—changing her diapers, cleaning up after her, and helping her with stairs and jumps she couldn’t manage anymore. It was heartbreaking, but she taught me that we have to enjoy every moment with our babies while we can. I’m typically the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone to look after their animals while they’re away— I think it’s because they know I'll be equally obsessed and caring with their pet as they are. I take pride in providing loving, responsible care that feels just like home. I am a newly retired professional dancer. My days as of now are wide open as I make this transition into the next phase of my life! Unfortunately, my apartment isn’t suitable for overnight stays, so I’m currently offering only day visits and walks. When I go to a client's house, I make sure doors, windows, and gates are closed and watch out for things pets might get into—like plants, small objects, or foods that aren’t good for them. Hazardous stuff like cleaning products or meds are kept out of reach. I’ll never let a dog off-leash unless it’s in a securely fenced area because I understand how one wrong move can lead to a lost or hurt animal.
“Very helpful. Valerie has been so understanding of my family’s schedule changes and has been very flexible. She has a wonderful attitude and is a joy to work with. I’m so glad I found her.”

About: 🐾 What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, along with my hands-on experience in training, grooming, and behavior management. Growing up, I helped care for a Schipperke and later two Chihuahuas, where I developed a love for daily walks, grooming, and building strong relationships with dogs. As I got older, I wanted to expand my experience and raise a high-energy working breed, which led me to my Australian Shepherd, Bailey. 🐶 Since bringing Bailey home as a puppy 7 years ago, I’ve participated in obedience training, at-home training, 4-H, showing, herding, and swimming activities. I also learned how to groom her myself and developed a strong understanding of canine body language and behavior. Through raising her from puppyhood to adulthood, I learned how to recognize what dogs are communicating through their actions, energy levels, and routines. ❤️ I later welcomed a second Australian Shepherd, Willow, who has a completely different personality. She’s vocal, energetic, and more sensitive to certain environments, which taught me that every dog has unique needs and triggers. This experience helped me become adaptable and attentive to each dog’s individual personality. 🎓 In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve helped owners work on puppy house manners, basic obedience, and simple tricks. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small companion breeds to larger breeds such as Labradors and German Shepherd mixes. ✨ Whether your dog needs an energetic walking partner, a patient sitter, reinforcement of good manners, or simply someone who understands their unique personality, I strive to provide care that makes them feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care is already a major part of my daily and weekly routine. As the owner of two Australian Shepherds and a young cat, I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, exercise, playtime, grooming, and providing companionship. 🐶 My dogs receive daily walks and enrichment activities, and I regularly brush and groom them to keep them comfortable and healthy. My cat also gets dedicated playtime and attention throughout the day. Caring for pets isn’t something I fit in when I have spare time—it’s already an important part of my lifestyle. Because I’m accustomed to caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels, adding pet sitting, drop-in visits, or walks fits naturally into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on a long walk, playing fetch, providing enrichment, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I start by learning about each pet’s schedule, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. I want to know things like feeding routines, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, areas they are allowed in, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and plenty of companionship. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs, like my Australian Shepherds, and more laid-back dogs who prefer a slower pace. I also reinforce house manners and any training routines owners are already working on. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and attention based on their comfort level. As a cat owner myself, I understand that some cats love to socialize while others prefer their space, and I adjust my care accordingly. I also pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and body language. After raising dogs and cats with very different personalities, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize when a pet is excited, nervous, tired, overstimulated, or simply wants affection. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own by providing a safe environment, consistent care, lots of love, and regular updates to owners so they can feel confident while they’re away.
“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”

About: Hi there! I work from home and would love the opportunity to care for your pup. We have had dogs all our lives. In fact, one of my favorite jobs was working at a dog grooming salon. My husband and I have an adorable dog of our own named Oprah. She loves playing with other dogs, laying in the sun, chasing squirrels and snuggling up with humans under a warm blanket. She about 10 years old, so she’s slowed down a lot, but still like to be active and social. I work from home, but do head out of the house for up to 4 hours to run errands, walk other dogs, etc., so dogs that can’t be left alone for a few hours may not be the right fit for our household. We all look forward to making your pet feel right at home! I am available for boarding, drop ins and dog walking. We have a fully fenced yard and lots of cozy space to curl up and relax. We only board for 1 family at a time and require a meet & greet prior to booking to ensure the dogs get along well & to put your mind at ease while you are away from your pup!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Fairwood is $25

Thank you Holly for taking such great care of our kitties this weekend! Having a diabetic cat makes traveling stressful, but Holly made us feel completely at ease. She did an excellent job testing blood glucose, giving insulin, sticking to schedules and even helping with food dishes. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, sent updates, and handled our sassy calico like a pro. We truly appreciated the care and attention she gave our cats, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!🤍

Rebecca was wonderful! This was the first time we’d been away from our kitty for so long so we were a little nervous. But Rebecca put us at ease. She took such good care of our kitty, played with her, and shared pics with us every day that reassured us that she was doing just fine. In fact, my partner and I started joking halfway through our trip that our kitty might want Rebecca to take her home with her lol Would happily rehire Rebecca!

Grace is amazing! She went above and beyond for all my pets, both furry and scaly while I was gone. She gave great updates and I slept well thousands of miles away knowing that all my babies were being attended to with attention and care. I highly recommend her for all your pet-sitting needs.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fairwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
