About: I absolutely love dogs and am always happy to give them the attention they need! Whether they’re looking for someone to run around and play with, go on an adventure, or simply curl up and get endless belly rubs, I’m there for them. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their personality and figuring out exactly what makes their tail wag! I am currently part-time so I have extra time to spend providing care to your fur babies! However even when I am full-time, I have a flexible schedule! I make sure their environment is safe and remains safe! I want them to stay in their routine and feel comfortable in their own home!
“Jeri did a wonderful job with our two puppers. We were at ease knowing she was taking great care of them. We especially appreciated all of the updates, pictures and videos. We highly recommend Jeri and look forward to working with her again!”
About: I’m a dependable, caring, and responsible pet lover who understands how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for when you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, keeping up with feeding and walking schedules, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I’m also very reliable when it comes to communication, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship during the day, or someone trustworthy to care for your home and pets while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and am used to planning my day around the needs of others. I’m able to make time for regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care when needed. I’m very organized and dependable, so I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I also enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to rather than something I have to fit in. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is kept as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and comfortable while you’re away. I also give pets plenty of attention and affection while still respecting their personality and boundaries. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Ryan was able to accommodate us last minute for two separate days that we had to be out of town for the whole day. He is responsive and will update you when he arrives and leaves.”
“Joyce was awesome. She was kind enough to come very early in the morning and stay with my pupster. She communicated very well, sent updates and was absolutely a rock star in caring for my Boston Terrier. Additionally, my dog loved Joyce as soon as she walked in the door and honestly, I trust my dog’s opinion about people 100%. Would absolutely recommend Joyce to care for your fur-babies!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and treated our Willow like family. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Laura did a fantastic job watching my little guy, Cash! She sent me updates and photos which I always greatly appreciate and was flexible with some time changes at the last minute! We highly recommend her!!”
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.
“Kelly is absolutely amazing! She arrived on time and kept in contact with me through out her stay. My dog loved her as well! I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting.”
“Haleigh was great. My dog loved her and she kept me updated with how my dog was doing, which is very important to me. I highly recommend Haleigh for anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
About: I help to care for two dogs at home, one of which struggles with anxiety. I frequently volunteer at a local cat shelter where I help care for and socialize animals. I’m fresh out of college and still looking for a job, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets. Reach out whenever! My dogs are fed twice a day and walked at least twice a day, not counting regular potty breaks. If your pets have any more advanced needs or schedules, I’m happy to accommodate them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fruit Cove
Taylor was great, we are always nervous to leave our babies. One of ours is a little mouthy and the other is crazy and she wasn’t phased by them. Taylor sent multiple updates and photos throughout the day everyday. Made the trip easy not having to worrry about them
Kaitlyn was a blessing in disguise! Our fur babies were spoiled while we were gone! Everything went well and she shared daily pics of the fur babies smiling ear to ear. Very satisfied with her services and would recommend her to care for your babies while you’re gone.
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.
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Fruit Cove is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $80 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
