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.
“Sydney was great with our two pups while we were out of town. Our Malinois got sick just before we left and I let her know we gave him rice and he should be ok. She responded that even if he was still sick, she would take care of it. She let them out frequently and took great care of them! Will be utilizing Sydney again. Thank you! 😊”
“Casey is amazing! We needed a sitter for our new puppy and our senior dog last minute and she provided nothing but the best care. Our routine was followed to the tee and we came home to happy doggos. She sent pictures and kept us updated - such a win since this our first time using rover and leaving our fur babies with someone else. She is a top notch sitter!”
“We had such a great experience with Sidnee! She was incredibly patient and caring with our six dogs. She followed every detail perfectly, kept us updated with Ron and his food and making sure he ate, paying attention to Kahlua and Baileys behavior and resolving any issues or changing things if needed. Her communication was amazing the entire time. She kept us updated, listened to our notes, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can really tell she cares about the dogs. Highly recommend! 💛”
“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our sweet pup. She communicated well and gave us all the updates. She took care of our home and was so patient as we worked through some issues with our air conditioner as well. We would let her puppy sit again and again(:”

If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will love your dogs like your own, look no further than Taylor!!
There aren’t enough stars in our universe to give Melissa a proper review. She is a true blessing from God. I knew from the second she gracefully walked in our home God sent us an angel to watch over our babies. As a matter of fact, it was all 3 of our pets that instantly bonded with her, on her first visit. Melissa has impeccable attention to details. She took tremendous great care of all our pets while we were away for almost 3 weeks! She provided photos and recaps every single day. To a T. More importantly, we could see the happiness in our babies eyes from the photos how happy they were in Melissa’s care. Like they say “a picture speaks 1000 words.” This alone is the greatest comfort and relief and worry free feeling you can have on a vacation, which is priceless. In addition, Melissa took care of our pool, yard, flowers and everything! Even things we didn’t ask for. She treated our home like it was hers. It was such a joy to come back home and all our flowers healthy and everything looked like the day we left. My wife and I are both incredibly grateful for Melissa and Rover. We really look forward in having Melissa in our home again soon. Good is great. ALL THE TIME.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fruit Cove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fruit Cove on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,472 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fruit Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fruit Cove walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fruit Cove maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
