“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!!”
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: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, I have watched all sorts of dogs, from family to friends to coworkers, and neighbors even:) I’m currently working for a second job but I always make sure that my animal care come first, I try to reason with my clients if change happens. I always try to make sure my dogs and cats stay occupied with toys and treats and walks making sure that they are always fed 2 time a day
“Lori B is awesome! Our crew loved her and became more obedient as well, drats. We recommend her without reservation and for us that is unusual. A testament to her skills and our dogs’ judgment of the right person for them.”
About: I grew up taking care of animals dogs, cats, cows, goats, and ducks. The last 2 years I began house sitting, pet sitting, and dog walking for other families. References available upon request. I currently home for the summer from college my availability is 7 days a week and open to different time frames based on your needs! I live in Fruita but willing to travel to the Grand Junction/Loma area. I would be working form my clients home. I am extremely reliable, responsible, and trustworthy.
About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.
“Mary always shows up right on time. Gus loves her and she is really good about sending pictures and filling out the walk card for every walk she takes him on. We have had problems with getting her access to our apartment and she has been very patient and understanding with it. I would be lost without her help every week!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals because they make me happy! What else makes me happy is helping other people out to take care of there fur babies :) I have experience of watching dogs and cats. I am very active and love spending time with animals I work full time! From 7:30 am to 5pm I am free in the evenings and weekends! On Mondays I work half days. I get done at 12pm It is me and my corgi and my apartment. I do have a patio it is unfenced. My corgi is a runner. I take him on walks, dog park or my parents back yard
About: Pet sitting for a long time for friends, family, and neighbors. Watched animals with all types of quirks. Experience with elder, disabled, puppies and kittens, and more! Able to watch for extended periods of time, and multiple pets at the same time. I am a student so pet and housesitting is no inconvenience. I can accommodate any requests for dogs to be let out, fed, given meds, and any other needs. I also clean up after myself and the animal/animals
About: As an animal lover, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. I'm quiet and gentle with every pet I meet, and have an eye for detail and commitment to routine. I currently teach part-time at CMU on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-6, and am available most mornings and evenings outside of that for any pet needs. I'm usually up around 6:30am for a walk, so early morning routines and dog walking are welcome. My 2 cats are spoiled but healthy and well behaved. They've got several bowls of water, and are fed 3 times a day, and have plenty of space to lounge, perch, and play - including a cat wheel for zoomies. I've got a crested gecko and 3 frogs as well, in bioactive terrariums with automated lights and misting systems for reliable humidity. In terms of treatment, I'm very gentle and want the best for every pet - a calm demeanor helps when trimming nails or giving meds, and playing with toys instead of hands builds safe habits. While I might be new to you and your pet's life, I'm great about maintaining routine and comfort so that I cause as minimal stress as possible.
“Dawna is wonderful and you should feel complete comfort in leaving you 4 legged fur babies with her. She goes out of her way to make sure the pup has fun while in her care and has lots of love to give. I would recommend her without question!”
About: I am a lifetime animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have pet-sit for friends and family for 15 years and have always been known to be someone they can trust to take care of their animals. I currently have a senior dog so I know the extra care that goes into taking care of older dogs, but he was high energy for most of his life so I am accustomed to keeping dogs active and mentally stimulated as needed to keep them happy. Rover is my full time job so my full attention will be taking care of your pup. Whatever their needs, I can meet them! I will typically schedule visits, walks, and playtime between the hours of 7am and 5pm but can adjust based on the needs of your pet. If they need to be let out right before bed, need medication at specific hours, or anything else, we can make it work! I will care for your pup just like they're my own, completely tailoring my visit to whatever makes them happiest; whether you have a high energy dog who loves endless belly rubs and playtime or they’re shy and just want a quiet buddy to sit with them. I also treat your home with total respect, keeping their exact feeding, walking, and house routines on track so they stay stress-free while you're away. If wanted, I will make sure to send regular pictures and updates so you can rest assured that your dog is being well cared for.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens (collecting eggs as well), donkeys, goats, horses, and llamas of all ages. I have been around dogs of all sizes with some of my own. On weekdays and weekends, I will be available the full day. I would love to help walk, play with, and care for your babies while you’re away for the day. I have a fenced in yard, can easily crate the baby if needed, have two loving dogs to keep your baby company, plenty of toys, and cuddles to go around!
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was young, but because my parents are international teachers, we were never able to have dogs that we could travel with! Whenever I came home for the summer, I would jump at the chance to watch family friend’s dogs and cats for months at a time. I would live at their houses and treat their pets as my own! I am a certified dog person but love spending time with any animal I can :) I currently work at a restaurant so my schedule is not fixed, but I only work 4-5 hours at a time so would be able to make playing and taking care of your pets a priority!! I will always strive to ensure your pets are comfortable with me and treat them how I would treat my own! I can walk them as much as needed and play with them whenever I can! I would be there to make them happy, and of course hanging with pups is a bonus for me as well!
About: From bringing home strays as a little girl, to working for a vet, to loving all the pets. I promise to care for yours as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with yours! I can come to your house and proved all the care your sweet fur babies need.. We will make the best of our time. I love to take them on walks..

About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they receive the care they need. I have experience raising two dogs, volunteering at the humane society, and am great with interacting with dogs of all ages and sizes. I would love to do lots of walking / hiking if your pets enjoy that. I am very excited to become a sitter/walker on Rover as this is a great way to spend more time with dogs when their owners are away. I especially love playing with puppies and will make sure any pet is receiving the love they deserve! I am willing to accommodate prices depending on the situation as I am very flexible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fruita on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of August 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 .

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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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
- 89% 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.
