Maria is wonderful with our Minnie. She’s done a few drop-ins for us, and we are already scheduled for a week-long house sitting. We know that our Minnie (and house) will be well taken care of.

Teresa was great! She kept me in the loop with my babies (kitties) while we were gone; she even washed their food bowls! I really appreciate that she was willing and able to help it with such short notice.

We had a dog sitter visit in home for tango twice in one day and Kelly and her husband Jim were absolutely top-notch. I will definitely use their services again and have already recommended them to my family and friends. Excellent service all around.

About: I've had pets, including dogs, since childhood. My friends trust me with their doggies, of various breeds/ ages, and they refer me to others often. I work from home (remote), but will sometimes be out during the evening for a few hours. I am attentive! I can take your dog out for exercise & potty breaks. I am willing to work with your schedule! Lots of love & petting! Can be on the couch with me. Frequent walks if desired. Can visit dog parks. Good with feeding schedules. Bedding is helpful (and crate if necessary).

About: I am a caring person who loves animals. I have grown up having dogs and cats myself and have always loved helping friends and family with theirs. I know the struggle of finding someone you can trust to care for your pets when you are traveling. I have lived in several states with the military and finding a reliable pet sitter can be a hard thing. I have a large fenced back yard and a doggie door so your dog will have plenty of room to run and play in a safe environment. I enjoy being outside and taking walks through our neighborhoods here in Florida and would love to help with your pet during the day. Our pets are our family and I would love to include your furry family too. I’m currently a stay at home mom and with my girls at school I have plenty of time to support your (and your pet’s) schedule. I have a fenced yard and our pups are treated like family. I am comfortable with your pets in my home or dropping in on them in your home if that’s more comfortable for them.

Carissa was great with our Shiba Inc. Sasha is a stubborn dog that is picky about who she lets walk her and Carissa was definitely let into Sasha's circle. Will use Carissa again.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years and have regularly cared for pets of friends and neighbors over the years. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m very experienced with pet care, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and making pets feel comfortable and safe in a home environment. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat them like my own. I understand the trust and concern when leaving your pets and will keep them safe. I currently work from home. I am available weekends for in home pet-sitting and visits. I can do some walking/ visits during the week depending on where you live and will help out if you have an emergency. I especially have flexibility for the JCP area. If your dog stays in my home then I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 7 year old pug that is very good with all dogs. I share my home with my husband and teenage daughter, both are very comfortable around dogs and will give your pet all the attention that they are comfortable with. We are home and will make sure you pet is not left alone, but will give them space if they need it. They can be as close and get as much attention as they choose. We are dog people!

I cannot rave enough about the outstanding care and attention Becca provided for our beloved dog, Buttercup! From the moment we reached out to her, Becca was professional, responsive, and showed an immediate interest in understanding Buttercup's needs, routine, and personality. This personal touch made all the difference. Buttercup is more than just a pet to us; she's a part of our family. It's always tough to leave her behind, but Becca made this experience worry-free. She checked in on Buttercup as promised, adhering to our feeding schedule without a hitch. But it didn’t stop there. Becca went above and beyond by sending us daily updates complete with photos and videos, which were the highlight of our day! It was reassuring to see Buttercup so happy and well-cared for in our absence. What sets Becca apart is her genuine love for animals. She didn’t just perform the necessary tasks; she spent quality time with Buttercup, giving her the affection and company she misses when we’re away. This compassionate approach is something that truly stands out and showcases Becca's unique gift in pet care. Moreover, upon our return, we found our home exactly as we had left it, if not better, with a detailed note summarizing the visits and any noteworthy observations about Buttercup. It's the little things, such as this thoughtful communication, that really make Becca's service five-star worthy. For anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and highly competent pet sitter, I cannot recommend Becca highly enough. She has not only earned our complete trust but has also won a special place in Buttercup’s heart. We look forward to using her services again and are so grateful to have found someone who treats Buttercup as lovingly as we do. Thank you, Becca, for providing such peace of mind and for your exceptional care of our fur baby!

Cassandra was great! My pups can be hyper when meeting new people, and one sometimes has anxiety, but Cassandra was understanding and calm when dealing with them. She took the time to ask great questions to learn about our pups and their wants and needs, as well as getting to know us and our preferences. We look forward to working with her again.

About: We have had my family dog for over 10 years and I had the pleasure of learning how to train a puppy. From potty training to teaching her tricks, it was such an experience to be able to grow up alongside a furry family member. I typically work about six to eight hours a day, monday-friday. I am completely free nights and weekends and am willing to do check-ins as needed. As someone who owns pets, I would want a caretaker to treat them with the best care they can provide, which is what I strive to do.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fruit Cove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Fruit Cove on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,569 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fruit Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fruit Cove stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fruit Cove choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Fruit Cove with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
