About: Hello! My name is Jacob and I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds for my whole life, and have always loved their company. I will strive to provide the best possible care for your pets and treat them as if they were my own. I’m here for their needs, whether it’s to wear out a young active pup or take a casual stroll around the block letting your senior dog stop as they need to. I’ve always had a lot of flexibility in my schedule and have enjoyed pet sitting as a side job for many years. I’m currently working part time in the early mornings so I have tons of time during the day to help care for your pets. If you need me to stay with your pets I’m usually only gone for a 3.5 hour shift so they won’t be left alone for very long! I will have your pets safety and comfort always in mind and make sure they have what they need to stay happy until you return.

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/ktl57871 When it comes to trusting someone with your furry family members, I know how important it is to find someone who not only loves animals, but truly understands them. That’s where I come in. What sets me apart from other animal sitters isn’t just my passion—it’s my experience and hands-on care. As a professional dog breeder, I’ve worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From the wobbly first steps of puppies to the slow, gentle pace of senior dogs, I understand their unique needs at every life stage. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including pills, topical treatments, and special dietary routines—so if your pet has medical needs, you can rest easy knowing they’re in capable hands. I care for both dogs and cats, and I take the time to build trust with each animal, treating them as I would my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, your cat needs space and patience, or your senior pup just needs a little extra TLC, I tailor my care to fit their personalities and health needs. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s not only responsible and reliable, but who truly understands animals from the inside out—I’d love to be your go-to. Let’s make your time away stress-free, for both you and your pet. Morning (7–10 AM) • Feed breakfast and refresh water • Morning walk or potty break • Playtime or enrichment activities Afternoon (3–6 PM) • Exercise (longer walks, backyard play, or park time if allowed) • Feeding schedule for pets that eat twice a day • Refresh water, check litter boxes, or tidy up Evening (7–10 PM) • Wind-down activities like gentle play, brushing, or cuddles • Final potty break or short walk • Prepare comfortable sleeping area and ensure pets feel safe and settled Weekly Routine • Consistent feeding, walks, and play every day • Adjust schedule as needed for each pet’s unique needs (puppies, seniors, or pets on medication) • Extra enrichment on weekends, like longer outdoor play sessions or new activities Provide a safe, pet-proofed environment with plenty of space for play and rest.

Keep fresh water available at all times. Provide comfortable sleeping areas (crate, bed, or designated quiet spot). Supervise interactions with other pets (if applicable) to ensure safety and positive socialization. Give regular potty breaks and maintain clean, sanitary conditions.

I prioritize safety during walks and playtime, monitor pets closely, and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“One of the best dog sitters we've had the pleasure of working with! Melanie was on the ball: never a food time missed or a walk uncounted. She sent us great pictures of the dogs and was punctual, communicated beautifully and made us feel like our dogs were in great hands. We appreciate her professionalism every step of the way. We would not hesitate to ask her again to watch our dogs, and feel honored she gave us her time and expertise. Thank you so much, Melanie!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fruita on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fruita. 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 Fruita. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fruita.

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 Fruita. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
