“Regina is amazing with our zoo. We have three larger dogs that each have different preferences for play. She makes sure all three get the attention they need and have some good play time. She even started helping us train one of the dogs to file her own nails! Regina also does walks with the dogs and they are always so excited to see her and have a great time. She is thoughtful, reliable, a great communicator, kind, and patient! I would definitely recommend Regina for any of your pet care needs!”
“Nina and Leo are the best sitters you could ever work with in the area. They are friendly, always on-time, and made sure my dog Migo had everything he needed on their drop-in visits. They took the extra mile in communicating with me when I had logistical issues with accessing my house. Migo was a very happy dog when I came home. Thank you, Nina and Leo!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
“My dogs can be a handful but from their very first introduction, they loved Octavia and she was so good with them! She's a lovely person and a great caretaker and I'm happy to have found someone I trust.”
“Caroline has seen Manu a couple of times and she has been great! On time, professional, sends great updates and seems to be super playful with Manu, a 3 month old mischevious puppy!”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Danielle provided for our two cats! She made sure they were happy, well cared for, and comfortable while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet care!”
“Linnea was great! She was on time for our Meet & Greet, asked great questions about my cat Rhys, and maintained great communication before and during the drop-in visits. I appreciate that she took time to get to know Rhys and his cute little personality. And also all the photos I received while I was away! I came back to a happy cat and my home just as clean as I left it. Thank you again Linnea!”
About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, whom I adopted at just 2 months old and raised into a happy, healthy pup who is now almost 5. Through this journey, I gained experience with puppy training, housebreaking, exercise, nutrition, and lots of love. Right now, my dog is living back in my home country with my parents, and I truly miss her every day. I signed up to care for pets because I love dogs deeply and want to share that same love and attention with others’ furry family members. I will care for your pets with the same dedication and affection that I give my own. As a full-time elementary school teacher, I have consistent availability during the week from 5:00pm to 9:00pm, making me well-suited for evening walks, feedings, and drop-in visits. On weekends, I have greater flexibility and can dedicate extended time to pet care, including longer walks, playtime, and overnight stays if needed. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines carefully—whether that’s feeding, walking or playtime to ensure dogs feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to home safety, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are properly secured at all times. I also focus on building trust with each pet through patience, consistency, and gentle care, so they feel safe and loved while their family is away.
“Dawn has been taking care of my 12-week-old energetic and velociraptor GSP puppy, Zara, for the past two weeks. From the start, Dawn impressed me by taking the time to schedule a meet-up beforehand to get to know Zara and me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel confident in her abilities and reassured me that Zara was in great hands. Over the past two weeks, Dawn has been punctual and caring during her visits to my home. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had dogs as pets for many years and have experience caring for dogs through all stages of life, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. Our family dog was part of our lives for 14 wonderful years, giving me firsthand experience with the love, patience, and extra care that comes with caring for an aging pet. I’ve also been a proud cat mom to my two kitties for the past 13 years, so I’m very familiar with the unique personalities, routines, and needs of cats. My love for animals extends beyond my own pets. I’m naturally someone who feels a responsibility to look out for animals in need and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and attention I would give my own, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in loving hands! I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer morning drop-ins and dog walks until 12 PM, as well as evening visits after 6 PM, Monday through Friday. I also have greater flexibility on weekends! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! Feel free to reach out with your pet care needs and preferred dates so we can find a schedule that works best for you and your pets. I look forward to connecting! I treat your home and pets with the same love, care, and respect I give my own. I make it a priority to follow your pets’ routines, respect your space, and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while receiving everything they need in the familiarity of their own home. I offer in-home care and drop-in visits rather than boarding.
“Alexander was wonderful with my anxious small dog! He was very communicative and sent me photos during the visit to keep me informed and reassured. Highly recommend him!”
About: *Get $20 off your first booking with this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/laural06754 Ever since I was a little kid, I've loved and cared for dogs and they are my everything! I have a Golden Retriever baby named Speckles. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs and dog sitting. To ensure the highest quality of care, I've attended several professional training classes to learn effective handling, care techniques for dogs, dog walking, and ALWAYS treat your fur babies as my own. I ensure dogs in my care are mentally enriched and physically happy with exercise. My husband and I both work from home and we're able to take care of and play with the dogs at all times. Also, my mom is retired and she always cuddles, plays, and loves the doggies to death. I take the dogs for walking 2x/day and allow the dogs to potty every 1-2 hours. Every day is a new and exciting day where I create a dynamic and stimulating environment with various toys and activities. Regular outdoor breaks and play sessions are incorporated into the daily routine. I pay close attention to each dog's needs, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience while in my care.
“I was super anxious about leaving my kitties alone for the first time, especially as one just got an ear infection and needed medication, but Zolfar was amazing! Super responsive, really looked out for their wellbeing, and even administered the medicine exactly as needed. Came back home to two perfectly healthy kittens :)”
“Savannah was amazing! She took wonderful care of my 2 cats; playing with them, sending great photos, and just being a very responsible, communicative & totally trustworthy pet sitter. She was very loving with the kittos, and great to have to keep an eye on the house too!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and truly nothing makes me happier than time spent playing and cuddling with one. I recently moved to Palo Alto from New York City and live on Stanford’s campus while my boyfriend gets his MBA. I have a a relatively flexible schedule. I love walking, so your pup will get plenty of long strolls rather than a quick trip around the block. There’s a huge lawn right next to my apartment for fetch and zoomies, and a dog park nearby (on campus) for dogs who like to socialize. After all that, I’m always up for couch cuddles. I’ll treat your dog like my own and send plenty of photos and updates, so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you both! I work from home on East Coast hours, Monday through Friday, so my workday wraps up early and I’m usually free from around 3pm onward on weekdays. That leaves my afternoons and evenings open for walks, playtime and cuddles. On weekends I’m generally available when I’m in town and can be flexible depending on plans for the weekend. I keep my calendar up to date, so if a date shows as open, I’m happy to help! I live in an apartment on Stanford’s campus with a huge lawn right next door and a dog park nearby, so there’s plenty of space for exercise and play. I keep dogs on a leash on walks, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine for feeding, walks and bedtime so they feel at home. Because I work from home, I’m around during the day. I’ll send photos and updates so you always know how your pup is doing, and I’m always glad to do a meet and greet first.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer named Shaft who made me a life long lover of dogs. At 18 I brought home my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Tsar, and raised him from a puppy. He's 9 now and very much my child. Two years ago we added Goose, a goofy, high-energy golden retriever who keeps us both on our toes. I'm very comfortable handling large, strong dogs, but I have a real soft spot for the little ones too. I pay close attention to body language and respect dogs as animals first, which helps me read how they're feeling and keep them calm and safe. I know your pets are family, and I'll care for them the same way I care for mine. I previously worked part time as a product designer, and I'm now looking to spend more of my time doing something that genuinely makes me happy. My weekdays are open and flexible, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. Dogs have always been a big part of my daily life, between walks, playtime, and keeping up with my own two, so pet care fits right in. Your pups will get the attention, exercise, and company they deserve. I care for dogs the way I care for my own, with a steady routine and plenty of attention. My dogs start the day with a walk, then settle for 15 to 20 minutes before eating to help avoid digestion issues. I never leave the house without a bag of treats, and every walk doubles as a mini training session. I let dogs explore and sniff to their heart's content while still working on leash manners, and I'm happy to reinforce whatever training you're working on. Whether I'm caring for a dog in my home or yours, I'll gladly follow the routine you've already set up for your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Fair Oaks
Cameron was a superstar taking care of my grumpy cat who wanted nothing to do with him. Cameron was thoughtful and communicative about making sure that both my cat and the space was well looked after, sharing a photo each time of my cats staring in absolute disapproval of his visit. Fancy Cat may not appreciate Cameron, but I did and hope they can become best friends someday.
I cannot thank Yifan enough for their incredible responsiveness and care. I had an emergency come up and reached out to them last minute—Yifan made herself available and went straight to my house right after I contacted them. Knowing my cats were in such prompt, caring, and capable hands gave me total peace of mind during a stressful situation. I’m so grateful to have such a reliable cat sitter—I highly recommend Yifan to anyone looking for someone truly trustworthy!
Jacqueline is amazing! She took such great care of my sweet pup and he loved her:) Excellent communication, accomodating and dependable. Appreciated the updates on how the drop ins went and all the photos! I felt confident my boy was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely continue booking with her!
Morgan is attentive and communicative. I really appreciate her updates and photos. My cats love cuddling up to her and I just know they are in great hands! Plus when there was an unexpected service team at the house, she was professional and handled the situation well. Would absolutely rebook and recommend!
Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our cat Maddy for two weeks while we were away. Everything went super smoothly, and she was great with our shy cat, who warmed up to her very quickly. Jenna was very communicative, always on time, and sent us plenty of messages and photos. We would definitely have her back to take care of Maddy again. Thanks for everything Jenna!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Fair Oaks is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $47 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 13,363 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Fair Oaks. 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 North Fair Oaks. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
