“Mary is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Deak, while we were away for a few days. She sent daily photos and an itemized list of his "business", and went above and beyond by keeping up with his daily walking routine and even spent time letting the school kids pet him which he loves! It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and has a superior work ethic. We returned to a happy, relaxed dog. We will be booking her for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter!”

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: I'm a retired RN. I've owned dozens of pets. All of them, from precious newborn babies to seniors. Pets have always been a huge part of our family lives in all of our homes. Their sweet innocence is so heart-warming to experience as they grow old with you. My mantra is, Treat them like they're your own! Pets, as well as their Humans. I'm retired and have plenty of time on my hands to play with and enjoy your fur-babies. And pet care fits perfectly because it brings so much joy to my life. I have a dog and a cat. They are both well-trained, which is why I generally leave them in the house to roam. These 2 are the best of friends;) In a client's home, of course, I will respect their wishes and rules for a great sitting experience, which we all can enjoy!

About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays and open on weekends! Feel free to reach out and I can let you know my availability! I have a fully fenced back yard, and a pretty spacious home. I have two dogs, to ensure your peace of mind if I host your loved one in my home, my two fur babies will be on the second floor completely separate.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fruit Cove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fruit Cove is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 2,659 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fruit Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
