About: I have years of professional and volunteer animal-care experience, including working in canine care, wildlife rehabilitation, animal education, and fostering dogs and cats through local shelters. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and needs, from bottle-fed puppies to senior dogs. Through shelter fostering, I’ve cared for puppies and adult dogs with a variety of medical and behavioral needs, including administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, reinforcing training and routines, and providing plenty of enrichment and socialization. I also have professional experience caring for dogs in a kennel environment and am comfortable reading canine body language and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I’m an animal lover with a B.S. in Zoology, and I take each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs seriously. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, a potty break, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine and can accommodate regular visits as well as occasional care when you’re away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to arrive within our agreed-upon time frame. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any behavioral or medical considerations. My animal-care and fostering experience has taught me to pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior, and I never force interaction with an animal that is nervous or uncomfortable. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously.

Feel free to reach out and I can let you know my availability! I have a fully fenced back yard, and a pretty spacious home.

About: I specialize in high energy and high anxiety dogs. I have taken care of dogs of many ages from puppies to seniors. I currently don’t have pets of my own but I grew up and have owned dogs and cats throughout my life. My work schedule is flexiable and I make my own hours.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m an animal lover with a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for making pets feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I’m especially experienced with long-term, in-home stays, and I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog is ready for an adventure or perfectly content being a professional couch potato, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶 I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with extra care needs, including administering oral medications and routine injections, preparing and following special diets, and keeping up with individual care routines. I understand that older dogs may need a little more patience, a slower pace, extra comfort, or simply someone who pays close attention to the details. I’m happy to follow your veterinarian-approved care instructions and your established routine. I also have personal experience with rambunctious Lab puppies, so I’m comfortable with the extra energy, enthusiasm, and occasional chaos that comes with young dogs! I’ve worked on basic manners, boundaries, consistency, and reinforcing good behavior. If you’d like, I can incorporate basic training and positive reinforcement into walks and daily activities while I’m caring for your dog. When I’m not hanging out with four-legged friends, you’ll usually find me enjoying nature, getting outside, or catching some live music. I love being active and exploring, but I’m equally happy having a quiet evening at home with a furry sidekick. My schedule is fully open, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time and attention rather than squeezing them into a packed schedule. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe, cared for, and loved — and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you have a high-energy puppy, a senior sweetheart, or a dog who needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they’re used to. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 When you need me, I'm there! My schedule is fully open. I work around your schedule in order to make sure you and your pet are getting the best service possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and pay attention to the little details that help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, medications, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Alyssa and my husband’s name is Aaron. We have 2 wonderful children. We do not currently have pets, but we’ve previously had 2 large dogs together and multiple pets before being married. I am a Certified Dog Trainer. I’m turning a passion into a career and I cannot be more excited! I love animals and would love to help you with yours when you can’t. We have experience with puppies and senior dogs. We can also administer medication. My husband just started his own business so I have time to myself to look after your fur baby(‘s). My kids adore animals as well and would love to tag along if possible. But I can always come alone if kids make your fur babies nervous. My goal is to keep your doggy or kitty in the same routine they’re use to. Leaving your pet can be hard, but hopefully I can make it a little easier on you, knowing they are well loved and cared for with me! We love going to the dog park near our house, if you would not like us to take your dog with us, just let us know! Otherwise we can walk on the trail or go on some hikes. Or just lounge around the house and rub some bellies! We prefer to kennel/crate for safety and comfort. Being in a new environment can be a lot for an animal and having the safety of a den like crate adds a lot of comfort and safety!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including multi-pet households where cats and dogs lived together successfully. I understand the different needs of each species and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions precisely. My focus is always on creating a calm, consistent environment so every pet feels safe and owners can leave with complete peace of mind. I work a remote Medicare sales job that gives me flexible hours and the ability to set my own schedule. This means I can easily plan pet care visits, drop ins, or overnight stays around my work without conflicts. I treat every pet with complete focus and responsibility. I follow all feeding and medication instructions exactly, keep litter areas clean and odor free, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and maintain a calm, consistent routine that prioritizes the animal’s safety and comfort at all times.

About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had animals. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bath, and care for their fur babies while they were away! My family has an Irish setter named Lucy and I have a tuxedo kitty named Boo. I love both of them to death! I treat my animals as they are my children and give them all the love and attention in the world, as well as treating every animal as my own child. I’m here to make sure you aren’t worried about your pet while you are out of town, as they will be in good hands! I am currently a full time college student, however all of my classes are online expect two, which meet in person on two days for about an hour. This gives me great flexibility to work with your schedule and needs! I can easily do whatever is needed of me regarding your pets! I assure you I have done it all, such as crating your dog or giving them any sort of medicine.

About: Started at 10 caring for my dog Cassie, then on to my sister’s ferrets and her dogs. I later fell in love with her cats as well and now I have two cats of my own that are my fur babies. I have also taken care of guinea pigs and hamsters. Non lethal snakes and lizards don’t bother me either. I currently work a fulltime job, but when I come home, caring for my two cats is my favorite thing. I love loving on them and they enjoy having my attention on them after I’ve been gone all day. Making sure they have their needs met with food, water, scooped litter boxes and clipped nails (once a month) is my priority. I approach animals who don’t know me with gentleness and patience. I let them come to me when they are ready and let them see I’m there for them. I’d try to create a safe environment by doing whatever makes them feel safe - offer a treat, talk gently, offer a favorite toy, etc.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Fruit Cove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fruit Cove is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 375 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fruit Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fruit Cove. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
