“Asylan checked in on my cat over the course of almost 2 weeks. She sent daily updates and pictures and I knew my cat was well taken care of. Would definitely book again. Thank you, Asylan!”
“Dawna's care of Mac was excellent. She is very friendly and talented when it comes to taking care of Mac. I felt comfortable with her from the start and so did Mac. He doesn't often greet unfamiliar people, but he was friendly from the start with Dawna. I will be recommending her, Rover to others as well as continuing to book Dawna in the future.”
“We love having Erin watch our little Momo when we have to leave him behind. We can tell from his demeanor on our return and all the pictures when we are gone, that he was very well cared for and loved. Thank you!”
“Eleshia did a great job watching over my cat for the weekend! Good communication throughout and even brought in some packages for me! We’ll definitely use her again”
“Bethany went above and beyond with our dog and cat over the holidays! She is very communicative and always sent multiple photos each visit. She visited 3 times per day, even on Christmas, to make sure they were happy and content. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. We are very appreciative since it’s always a little scary to leave them for so long but Bethany made it stress-free. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: Hi there! I’m a college freshman studying nursing, and while I can’t host pets in my dorm, I’d love to put my passion for caregiving and lifelong love for animals into looking after your pup. As a nursing major, I bring responsibility, patience, and strong attention to detail to every visit. Caring for others is what I’m best at — whether that’s people or pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, including an energetic Australian Shepherd mix and a sweet Wheaten Terrier–Poodle mix. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all energy levels, sizes, personalities, and quirks. Shy dogs, high‑energy pups, seniors, and everything in between — I meet them where they’re at. What I Offer 30‑Minute Dog Walks: A refreshing walk around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup exercise, stimulation, and a happy break in their day. 30‑Minute Drop‑Ins: Perfect for potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pup will always receive safe, attentive, and loving care, and you’ll get reliable communication and updates every step of the way. I’d be honored to care for your dog and help make your life a little easier. As a full‑time college student, I prioritize my classes and coursework, but I have plenty of availability in between classes and during afternoons. I’m typically free on weekdays after 11 am, with additional openings throughout the day depending on my class schedule. I’m also available on some weekends for walks or drop‑ins. My routine is flexible, and I make sure pet care fits smoothly around my school commitments, so your pup always receives dependable attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I follow your instructions closely, keep environments clean, ensure fresh water, and maintain secure entryways. I approach every visit with the same responsibility and attention to detail I bring to my nursing studies, giving your pet calm, dependable care.
“Hope has been great with communication and attention to detail. I have many specific requests with my elderly dog and Hope has confirmed every one while also being patient when I was out of cell/wifi range. I plan to continue to work with her 😊”
“Camryn was great with our older cat, who seemed to love her. Our cat rarely comes out to visit new folks, but warmed up to Camryn right away! We really appreciated her updates and that she look such good care of our kitty! We will definitely reach out to Camryn again!”
“So incredibly happy with the services. I can feel confident and know that my cat is taken care each time Anastasia looks after him. Would recommend to anyone wanting peace of mind when needing a sitter.”
“Stacy was super easy to work with, quick to respond and communicated well throughout. The cat does not approve unauthorized visitors but she was fed and happy when I got home and the house was in great shape.”
About: As a dog companion & caretaker my whole life, I am well-suited to any breed of any size whether energetic, or in need of a boost. I mostly work in the mornings, but my afternoons and evenings are devoted to your pet. My schedule can be change occasionally, but I’ll keep you updated every step of the way. I’m a guest to you and your furry friend, so respect is priority number one. I’m happy to follow any and all boundaries and will never put your pet in a situation that could compromise their safety or comfort.
About: I have four dogs, and two cats. I treat all pets as if my own kids. I am good at potty training if needed, and special diets or any meds they need to take. I can take care of guinea pigs as well. I have owned them before. I will NOT watch a dog over 50-60 pds max. The only times I am away from home is usually for doctor appts. I am available for emergency situations as well. I know people don't think about that so its good to have a plan just incase the unfortunate happens, and u need me to go pick up the furbaby and bring them to my house until you are able to care for them. Know they will be safe and loved. I have a fenced backyard, as well as four dogs that would keep them company, and play with them while they are here. I can feed them separately as well. In your home I will make sure they are safe and can't get out and get lost. I have never lost a pet in my care.
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 all sorts of furry friends since I was little. I love dogs and cats and have lots of experience with exotic pets as well! I work part time, however, that allows me plenty of time throughout my week to spend time with furry friends who need company throughout the week or even just a walk! My yard is fenced with a large privacy fence. I have a grass front and back yard as well as lots of shade available in my yard.
About: I’m happy to stop in multiple times a day, go for walks. I’m familiar with local dog parks and trails, and have reliable transportation. Shoot me a message to plan care for your dog while you’re going out of town, or in town visiting the mountains! I have a very flexible schedule, making it easy for me to stop in multiple times a day, or go for long walks with your dog. At my home, I have a fenced balcony on a ground floor and a specific place to walk dogs. I like to go on local trails for longer walks. In clients homes, I like to stick to the routine and methods explained to keep a predictable schedule for the dog.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of caring for animals of every kind. I love dogs and cats, and all animals . Your pet will receive patient, dependable, loving care and personalized attention while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine.

I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and plenty of time to provide dependable, attentive care for your pets whenever you need it. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, have a strong work ethic, and believe every animal deserves kindness, respect, and attentive care. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, exercise, playtime, affection, and any medications or special care they need. I believe animals know when they are loved, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I spent two years as the assistant manager at Your Best Friends Boarding Kennel, followed by another two years working as an animal behaviorist at Roice-Hurst Humane Society. I recently stepped away to start my own dog treat company, and I’m excited to continue doing what I love while growing my business. During my time as an animal behaviorist, I became a Dunbar-certified dog trainer and earned certifications in basic animal medical care and neonatal care. I’m also certified in canine CPR. I’m comfortable administering medication, working with nervous or behaviorally challenging dogs, and caring for pups who need a little extra patience and understanding. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or has special needs, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Im currently working fulltime on my dog treat company (Pariah Dogs! Find us in Chowdown if youre looking for some incredible dog treats.) I have a very flexible schedule because of this, I don't do overnight stays but Im flexible for check ins, walks and training sessions. I’m a positive-reinforcement dog trainer, and my priority is making sure your four-legged family member feels safe, happy, and loved. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual personality, needs, and comfort level. Whether that means sticking to their routine, providing enrichment and exercise, or giving a nervous pup extra patience, I’m here for the dogs. Their well-being always comes first!
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals from a few weeks old to seniors- dogs, cats, horses, goats, rodents, fish, etc. I grew up with dogs in my home and I've pet sit and house sat for families with dogs and cats in my neighborhood since I can remember, and for the past 8 years was entrusted with the care of my landlady's horses and dogs whenever she leaves town. I also just took care of a litter of puppies for a week and helped wean them from the mama. I just moved to GJ from Crested Butte with my 5 year old 45lb happy lil dog and I have quite a bit of free time at the moment to get to know your animal(s) and see where it goes! I just moved to town and I have availability most days for awhile. I can do drop in visits and walks throughout the day for your dogs or cats. I follow all your pet’s rules, adhere to their schedules as much as possible and communicate ahead of time everything I can and cannot do for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fruita is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $34 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 280 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fruita. 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 Fruita. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
