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!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have experience with cats, dogs, and senior pets, and I know every animal has their own personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medications if needed, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care with advance notice. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always follow the care instructions you provide. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I also have experience with oral and dental care for dogs, as well as administering medications if your furry friend is prescribed!

Sarah was great and I felt totally comfortable with her pet sitting for us. She even got to pet one of my cats that is very skittish and usually doesn’t come out!

About: I'm a retired RN. I've owned dozens of pets. All of them, from precious newborn babies to seniors. Pets have always been a huge part of our family lives in all of our homes. Their sweet innocence is so heart-warming to experience as they grow old with you. My mantra is, Treat them like they're your own! Pets, as well as their Humans. I'm retired and have plenty of time on my hands to play with and enjoy your fur-babies. And pet care fits perfectly because it brings so much joy to my life. I have a dog and a cat. They are both well-trained, which is why I generally leave them in the house to roam. These 2 are the best of friends;) In a client's home, of course, I will respect their wishes and rules for a great sitting experience, which we all can enjoy!

About: I’ve always taken care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats for a while now and I have always loved doing it! I’m currently only in school for a couple hours, 4 days out of the week and would have plenty of time to take care of any animals in need. The days of the week I would be able to watch pets would be Monday-Thursday, I go out of town sometimes on the weekends however I am very flexible. I have a fenced in yard for my dog and a crate she only uses for bedtime. My cats and dog are allowed to roam around the house freely.

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.

About: I have two dogs of my own and have been a reliable pet caretaker in my neighborhood since I was young. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own dogs. I start school in January, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I am committed to making sure your dogs feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I have a fenced yard and two friendly small doggies that love to meet new friends. I have an extra crate available also if needed!

About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re 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. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays and open on weekends! 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. I have two dogs, to ensure your peace of mind if I host your loved one in my home, my two fur babies will be on the second floor completely separate.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a dog owner, I know the importance of patience, trust-building, and creating a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. My rescue dog, Orville, has taught me the value of meeting dogs where they are, whether they need extra reassurance, structure, playtime, or simply a calm companion. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free while their family is away. I have always enjoyed helping friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets. While I have not provided pet care professionally before or through a platform like Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs. My experience may not be formally documented, but it comes from years of genuine care, responsibility, and love for all animals. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. Your pet will be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Thursday through Saturday, I have flexible availability and can provide care throughout the day. I currently work four days a week until 3 PM, so Sunday through Wednesday I'm available after 3 PM. I am happy to work with your pet’s schedule and routine! I love spending time in my own backyard, but I also enjoy exploring new places! My pup loves adventures, so we often visit on-leash parks for walks, fresh air, and new experiences. I enjoy giving dogs opportunities to safely explore, get exercise, and enjoy the world around them while always keeping their comfort and safety a priority. Play is a constant in our household! I believe playtime is about more than just fetch. I enjoy incorporating scent games, enrichment activities, and mentally stimulating games into a dog’s routine to help keep them happy and engaged (esp. if it's extremely hot or rainy)!

About: I’ve had pets all my life. From guinea pigs to chihuahuas to pitties. I’ve yet to meet an animal I didn’t like and I don’t plan to ever. I spend time volunteering at the local Humane Society to learn how to better care for animals like yours. I’m a full time student looking to make most of my income here on Rover. I also spend a few hours a week at the Humane Society. I've had animals as long as I've been self-aware. My family dogs include a senior chihuahua and a 7 year old pittie. At home, my family includes two kitties, Moomin (5) and Toro (1), who are both from the Jacksonville Humane Society! They are my pride and joy and I consider them my sons. I work well with all pets. Doesn’t matter if they’re skittish or energetic. Please do not hesitate to let me know the specifics of your pet’s care needs. It is my duty to cater to their personality! Additionally, I will be sure to send lots of pictures to update you while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life! I’ve had many exotic, farm and typical pets who all live happily at my family home. I have a cat of my own living with me here in college:) I have been working as a kennel technician for a year now doing grooming, cleaning, administering medication, exercising and more for dogs of all sizes. I am currently working part time so I am available to check in on pets multiple times a day as well as do an extended visit/stay if needed as much as my daily shift allows:) I am a person dedicated to the happiness and safety of pets. As a very avid animal lover I will always treat your babies as my own and ensure they are being cared for both emotionally and physically while you are away. I have seen a few horror stories about pet care experiences and would love to give you the relief of knowing someone cares about your loved ones. I have many pets of my own and understand boundaries when it comes to animals. I am more than willing to do any task needed to keep pets comfortable and feeling like normal even if they might seem a little silly!

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.

About: I love dogs! I work from home, so your fur baby will get attention all day. I am a homeowner with tons of toys, and plenty of time to play with and love on your pup. While your dog is vacationing with me, I do my best to follow his or her normal routine and schedule closely. I love playtime and make sure all of our furry friends get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. If your pet has unique needs, I’m always happy to discuss accommodations ahead of time. My home is a dog-friendly family environment with a fully screened-in lanai and tile/hardwood flooring throughout the home. I’m located in the Bartram Park area. For boarding stays, please send only the items your dog truly needs during their visit. While I do my best to keep track of belongings, I care for multiple dogs at times, so I recommend keeping sentimental or irreplaceable items safely at home. I work from home and will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Please let me know if anything needs to be done at a specific time or if your pet has any unique needs. Safety is my number one priority. I have gates throughout the home and work hard to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. If you have any specific concerns, please let me know ahead of time.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,557 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.
