“Bridget is AMAZING. I was so worried about leaving my dog Holly when I dropped her off, only because I didn’t know her or her family very well and I have an unhealthy attachment to Holly lol Plus, I was beside myself thinking that Holly was feeling like I was abandoning her to a new family and didn’t want her anymore. It was a dramatic separation for me lol I had to go sit in the car and let my son handle the drop-off. Bridget was very understanding, though, and quickly eased my mental anguish with lots of pictures of Holly being perfectly happy and content. I never would have been able to enjoy my trip if not for the peace of mind Bridget gave me with the regular pictures and daily goings-on with Holly and her days there. She would even send me good morning and goodnight pictures! I knew Holly was in a safe and loving home with an equally loving family. Additionally, as time passed, Bridget shared that she grew to love Holly just as much as I do and that is always a heartwarming feeling. I will never look elsewhere for someone to watch Holly when I travel; Bridget is the one for Holly. If you are looking for a superb dog sitter, look no further! You will come to love Bridget just as much as Holly and I do 🐾❣️”
“Mango stayed with Mary for a week, and everything went great! This was our first time using her, and she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. She kept us updated, and it was clear Mango was well taken care of and having a good time. We will be using Mary again in the future!”
“Kira was great with our pups and sent pictures every day. Super convenient with driving them with pick up and drop off as well. Super helpful with our crazy household.”
“Kelly & James is my fur baby God sent angels. We were nervous as this was our first outing without bringing her. She met Kelly & James and loved them at first bark. She gained a new friend Charlie who she seems to miss and love there runs in the back yard. This was truly a great retreat for my girl, Gracie. We will be back. Thank you Kelly & James!”
“Nuttawadee was wonderful with Cooper! She kept me updated with photos and messages, and Cooper looked so happy and relaxed the entire time. He got along great with the other dogs and clearly had a fun, active day. Communication was easy and professional. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Amazing and will use again 100%! I had a last-minute need for dog sitting. As in, one hour away, and Sylvia still responded with a yes, and drop them on by! She was a lifesaver in a pinch, and I will definitely use her again as she clearly loves and takes care of our dog Family members”
“★★★★★ 10/10 Would Book Again! Amazing Care for Booby! Joseph and his wife are simply the best! If you're looking for sitters who will treat your fur baby like their own, look no further. They took fantastic care of our Booby. They followed all our instructions perfectly and sent the cutest updates throughout our trip, which we absolutely loved seeing. It was so clear Booby was having a blast—the pictures of them playing together just melted our hearts. We knew she was in the best hands possible and could truly relax on our vacation. They are a wonderful, caring duo and we are so thankful for them! We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“I recently moved to Jacksonville and interviewed 4 sitters before I found Tannia and Chris. As soon as I met them I knew they were the ones! Beautiful people, beautiful home, beautiful experience. My Frenchie is 6 years old and this was the first time I left her with ‘strangers’. My little Frida is very attached to me- but I had to pry her out of their house to bring her home after my trip. I found my people to watch my pup whenever I go out of town. Tannia and Chris were ‘strangers’ for all of about 10 seconds. They are now Frida’s home away from home- where I know I am leaving her with two caring and thoughtful dog lovers. 💕”

“Claudia is such an amazing sitter!!! She made Prince feel right at home and sent many pictures and kept me up to date while I was away. I’m so grateful and will continue to book with her.”
“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter! Her home was tidy and set up well for dogs, she sent me tons of pictures each day, and my dog seemed to very relaxed during her stay. Would definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Elijah excellent this was the second time he watched Max was so understanding when I had to extend my days. Kept me updated with Max. I will have him sit with Max again.”
“Laura is AMAZING. I’ve never used a pet sitter before and she makes me feel as comfortable leaving my dogs with her like she’s family. She send so many photos of them throughout the day.. I’m convinced my pups have more fun at Laura’s than my place. I would recommend her over and over again.”
“Laura watched my four year old foxhound, Piper over Spring Break. Piper was homesick at first but Laura took special care to help her get adjusted. (She sent me pictures of my 45 lb dog sitting on her lap!) Laura was very communicative sending daily texts, photos, and videos. Piper looked so cute in her St. Patty’s Day scarf she provided. The dogs were very relaxed and were having a good time. Also, her house is away from a busy road for dog walk safety. Laura even made the extra effort to wash Piper’s dog bed before she went home. I highly recommend Laura! She is very caring and attentive.”
“I left my two frenchies with Tish for the first time for 3 nights. I could not have been more pleased with the way she took care of them. She sent lots of photos and made sure they were comfortable with their surroundings. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is as picky as I am with who my babies stay with. I will definitely book with her again”
“I normally always have so much anxiety about leaving my fur baby but I’ve left him with Sheila twice now and I’ve felt at ease. She’ll definitely be my go-to from now on.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Fruit Cove can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fruit Cove home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Fruit Cove.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fruit Cove. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
You and your Fruit Cove sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
