About: I have grown up with dogs for most of my life. I like going on walks or run with them. I can bathe them, feed them, play with them and give them their medication if needed. I have not owned a dog but love being the Auntie that spoils them. I have taken care of friends dogs and there has been times when I am asked to spend a week at their home to watch over their dog or cat while owners are on vacation It is a great blessing to be surrounded with furry friends that want nothing but pure love and attention which I am happy to be of service. One of my favorite pastime is giving them rides in the car and getting them excited by letting them know they are going to the park or long walks.
“Sam was amazing! There was a lot of confusion and mixed messages from me and my wife to her and she was completely understanding and helpful the whole time! I would definitely recommend! Raven always looked so happy in the pictures she sent :) If you're reading this, thank you Sam!”
“Maria is wonderful with our Minnie. She’s done a few drop-ins for us, and we are already scheduled for a week-long house sitting. We know that our Minnie (and house) will be well taken care of.”

“Malik and Maiya are awesome Rover sitters. They do a great job checking in on my two pups. They go out of their way to help me with my one escape artist. I super appreciate them!”


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: 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. If you have any specific concerns, please let me know ahead of time.

About: I have years of professional and volunteer animal-care experience, including working in canine care, wildlife rehabilitation, animal education, and fostering dogs and cats through local shelters. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and needs, from bottle-fed puppies to senior dogs. Through shelter fostering, I’ve cared for puppies and adult dogs with a variety of medical and behavioral needs, including administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, reinforcing training and routines, and providing plenty of enrichment and socialization. I also have professional experience caring for dogs in a kennel environment and am comfortable reading canine body language and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I’m an animal lover with a B.S. in Zoology, and I take each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs seriously. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, a potty break, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine and can accommodate regular visits as well as occasional care when you’re away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to arrive within our agreed-upon time frame. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any behavioral or medical considerations. My animal-care and fostering experience has taught me to pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior, and I never force interaction with an animal that is nervous or uncomfortable. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Katelyn is amazing! My Dane and cat took right to her. Her pics and updates were like talking to a long time friend. We all connected through a love of our animals! I am sure Harley and Buddy are looking forward to next time already! Great service, professional, updates throughout. I never once had a worry and could take care of out of town plans with peace of mind. See you next time!!!”

“Cecelia was an absolute fantastic, she took very good care of my fur baby, she kept me updated with pictures and when my dog sitter canceled she responded last minute. She’s a complete lifesaver!!”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 11. My experience goes far beyond basic pet care. I fostered 48 kittens in high school and help find them forever homes, rehabilitated a feral cat over 6 months before adopting her, cared for my senior Labrador through her aging years, and currently help care for 7 family pets. I even adopted a kitten while living in my college dorm because life without pets just isn't the same. My experience with kittens, senior pets and animals with unique needs allows me to provide compassionate, attentive care for every pet I meet. I am currently in college playing softball and have extra time to provide additional care for adorable animals that need extra attention while their owner is away. I have experience in crate training, following specific routines, administering medication and ensuring that all directions are followed to create a seamless experience while their owners are away.

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)!
“Bianca was excellent in how she communicated with us about our boys. She’s excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to care for ur fur babies as her own”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fruit Cove is $21 per visit as of November 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 November 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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
