“Clarissa she was a great cat sitter! She took great care of my cat while I was away and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. My cat was happy and well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend her!”
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).
“Maria was amazing with my cat! She was reliable, caring, and went the extra mile to make sure my boy was happy and well cared for while I was away. She exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly book with her 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!
“Sam was amazing! There was a lot of confusion and mixed messages from me and my wife to her and she was completely understanding and helpful the whole time! I would definitely recommend! Raven always looked so happy in the pictures she sent :) If you're reading this, thank you Sam!”
About: I have 4 of my own rescue dogs, volunteered and fostered numerous dogs over the year. I have a special needs pup too, so those who needs meds or other special care will be at home with us! Work FT from home so dogs aren’t left alone for much time during the day. Fenced in back yard and flexibility to walk and or sit pups! I have a fenced yard and my own pups who get long with most! If I need to access a clients home for walking, will meet with them before hand to understand where pup(s) are housed, leashes, treats and poop bags! Also get an understanding of their personality and preferences!
“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: With a lifetime of dog ownership under my belt, I offer the patient, seasoned perspective of a true "dog person." I have cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic adults to those in their golden years who require a gentler touch and extra patience. What sets me apart is my commitment to undivided, one-on-one attention. Because I understand that some pets prefer their own space, I never bring my own dog, Shadow, on visits. This allows me to focus entirely on your pet’s specific needs, whether they are a playful adult who needs a brisk walk or a senior who prefers a slow sniff around the block. I bring the same level of reliability and devotion to your home that I have given my own pets for decades. As a self-employed professional working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day, whether they require a mid-day stroll, a potty break, or just some company. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5, I can easily shift my tasks to ensure I am available for consistent visits and reliable care, giving your dog the attention they deserve while you are away. provide attentive care exclusively in your home to ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. My visits are entirely focused on maintaining your dog's specific routine, whether that involves refreshing water bowls, administering meals, or enjoying quality playtime. I prioritize safety and security at all times, making sure your home is locked up and your pet is happy and settled before I depart. Since I don't host pets in my own home, your dog receives my full, undivided attention during every single visit.
“Aaliyah is amazing with our young puppy! She is always on time, communicates very well, and we totally trust her. You can tell she really cares and has a passion for what she does! Would recommend 100%!”
“Kim took excellent care of our young cats for a week. She checked in often and gave us updates on how well they were eating. We loved getting cute photos of them getting lots of attention! We would absolutely book Kim again for any future needs.”
“Danielle does a great job with our little divas! She’s responsive and on time and we really trust her. Highly recommend. We also so appreciate her being flexible with our rotating schedule!”
“Kyndal has started checking on our boys (10-month old yellow lab & 4-month old black lab) twice a week on days we're in the office full-time, and she's been amazing. She arrives on time, gives the boys a break outside and plenty of play time to work off some energy. She provides very detailed notes and photos of her visits so we know how everything went and that the boys are okay. She's been such a huge help. We're very comfortable having her in our home and know the boys are in great hands. We're very happy to continue to have her help take of our fur babies.”
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.
“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.”
“Priscilla was so helpful with our senior girl, Sasha! She was attentive and timely and even agreed to a meet and greet beforehand. We will definitely book her again!”

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.

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.

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.

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.
