About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and owned several dogs for 10+ years. I have some volunteering experience at veterinary hospitals and basic medical training. I love dogs and they love me! I have several dogs and cats at home, and my schedule revolves around their care. I always take time to keep their routines comfortable for them, and work in training, playing, and of course cuddling! My animals are my top priority at all times. I deeply understand that I am responsible for their health and comfort. I always put their needs ahead of mine and make sure they are as happy as they can be!

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!

About: I have been caring for dogs for about 16 years now. I got my first dog, Sammy, in 2009 and I got my second dog, Penny, in 2017. My dogs were my best friends growing up. They both sadly passed away in 2023 and I miss them everyday. I have pet sat for multiple people around our community for both dogs and cats. I have done several volunteer experiences throughout the years with animals, including equine therapy and fostering a dog in college. During my breaks home from college, I worked in boarding at a local veterinary clinic. I gained valuable experience in grooming and administering medications with pets of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am currently completing my last year of graduate school at University of North Florida. I have classes from 11 AM-6:30 PM on Tuesdays. My internship is at varied times on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, mostly during afternoon and early evenings. I am typically unavailable on Wednesdays from 10 AM-7:30 PM. I am available most mornings and evenings. On Friday through Sunday, I have full availability for any pet care needs. I have full availability on university breaks as well. Feel free to message me with any questions about specific dates. For boarding, I am currently living at home with family in JCP. We have a spacious fenced in yard. There is no smokers, children, or other pets in the house. We are all huge animal lovers! For drop ins, I have a car to get to any place needed. Safety is absolutely my number one priority for your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

About: I’m happy to work within your schedule/preferences to keep you and your pets in their routines! I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in the house at a time, from large Labs, hounds, and mixes, to small Toy Poodles and Shih-tzus. I have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have experience with dogs and cats of all personality types and ages. I especially have experience with pets with separation anxiety, storm anxiety, general anxiety, trauma, food/resource guarding, and other differences. I am comfortable administering medication orally, eye drops, and topical ointments. I do not have experience with injectable medications (but am happy to learn with the right guidance from you!) I have my own 2 larger dogs (one Viszla and one Treeing Walker Hound) as well as frequently care for my family’s animals (Pit mix, Malshis, Dobermans, Labs). I also own 2 Ragdoll cats and 2 ball pythons. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate yours and your pets needs as much as possible and am an effective communicator. My weekends are usually free unless I’ve specified otherwise. I do have my own pets at home I’d need to check in on them as well unless you’ve indicated that they’re welcome in your home. I’m available to visit your home for pop-ins, potty breaks, extended visits (2-4 hours), or daily stays as needed. Since I work part time, I would need the flexibility to leave for a few hours at a time, but no longer than 2-3 hours max. I’m comfortable leaving your pets free, in crates, or within designated rooms as you’ve specified. I currently do not offer boarding in my home. We can discuss house sitting, whether I stay late nights and return early mornings, or if I’m able to bring my dogs for overnight stays. Whatever your pet needs, I can provide! Long or short walks, visits to the dog park, playing in the yard, cognitive activities, “work” for working dogs, cuddles, however much or little attention they like, and/or general exercise.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fruit Cove on Rover is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,573 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fruit Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fruit Cove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fruit Cove after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
