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.

I am a nursing student looking for something fun and low stress:) I would love to spend time with your pets even though my dogs will hate me lol I am currently a full time student at UNF and my schedule varies daily but I have plenty of gaps and time in my day for lovely fur babies.

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.

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: 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: 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 spent years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities through both professional grooming and hands on pet care. As the owner of a family oriented grooming business, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-pet households, and I always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In our home, pets are treated like family, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. They get to run outside in our fenced back yard, (which supervision of course), Because I work with animals daily, your pet will receive consistent attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection throughout the day. We keep a smaller number of pets at a time to provide a calm, personalized, family-style environment with no kennels or overcrowding so every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for! At night, sleeping on beds, sofas or their own dog bed! Family style environment with no kennels or overcrowding. Dogs are supervised closely and treated like part of the family while they are in our care. I have experience handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs, and I always take introductions slowly to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with pictures and communication so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for

About: I have always had an affinity towards taking care of animals, specifically dogs! I have walked and taken care of many of my friend's pups and I had a beautiful German Shepherd named Tavi for many years whom I loved dearly. After my autoimmune and cancer diagnosis, I am looking to spend more time around dogs since walking is one of my favorite things to do. I also love to hike and spend most of my time outdoors! Most of my schedule revolves around doctors appointments therefore I am available most days usually after 10am until around sunset. I will block out appointment days in advance! I am very organized and will stick to/adapt to you and your pet's needs. I love to play with dogs and will also make sure any medication is taken if need be.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - 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 September 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 September 2026, there are 2,568 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.
