“Juliann is exceptional. She provided full-time care for our two dogs and one cat and also took care of our home while we traveled internationally for two weeks. She provided consistent communication with text updates and daily photos/videos. She was also very respectful of our space. It was clear when we came home that our pets were well loved and cared for while we were away.”
“Exceptional dog sitting/housesitting service! Thyra, paid attention to every detail while we were gone. She took great care of our pet and our home.We received regular updates and our dog was so happy with his new friend. Would highly recommend her services.”
“Susan was great with Finley and Oakley. She went above and beyond with their care including some extra TLC for our little guy! The house was immaculate and she even helped us out with transportation to and from the airport. We will definitely ask Susan to stay with our guys again.”
“Indigo was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, two cats, and home while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing everyone was in good hands. I came home to happy pets and everything just as I left it. I’d absolutely recommend Indigo and would happily book her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs, mostly border collies and poodles, and one of the poodles is 15 now. I understand dogs need mental stimulation, activity, and older dogs need gentle care, frequent outside potty breaks, and specific food. Taking care of animals, especially dogs, is one of the only times where I can't think of anywhere else to be, or anything else I need to be doing. I'm currently a freelance writer/editor, so I can work from anywhere, and I create my own schedule when it comes to editing projects and clients. In my own home, there are two border collies and one old poodle. I do a lot of obedience training with the border collies. I also spend a lot of time with them outside so they get enough exercise and play. For the older poodle, I and my other family members, make her specific meals that keep her sensitive teeth and tummy in mind. She also needs to pee on the hour, so I always make sure I'm attentive to her schedule. I love my dogs and I love knowing their different quirks and personalities. I'm very good with other people's pets, especially dogs and cats.
“Betsy (Elizabeth), is amazing! She spent lots of time with my boy, sent pictures and updates. I think Pepper is missing her! We will definitely reach out again. Xoxo Pepper”
“Amanda was fantastic! My husband and I recently had to do a lot of traveling for work and Amanda took such good care of our little doggies. Our 4 month old puppy got sick just before we left. Amanda got her to the vet while we were gone and took such good care of her. A few days later Amanda watched our pups again this time our older dog was recovering from surgery. Amanda made sure she got her meds and was safe. She went above and beyond for our puppies and we can’t recommend her more.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals at home and raised my own after college. I grew up caring for neighbors pets and use to watch clients dogs during my summer vacation in college. I also volunteered at shelters over the years. I am currently staying with family to help out after a minor surgery. I have a flexible schedule at this time. In the future I may have other jobs come up. I prefer to stay where the animal is most comfortable, their own home. I also offer visits verse overnight stays for clients comfort. My priority is to make sure your precious pet has the proper care while you are away some you can be focused on your trip knowing everything is good at home.
About: My combined experience from growing up with pets as well as pet sitting for others, makes me comfortable and reliable when it comes to caring for them and satisfying their needs. I have strong sense of responsibility and the ability to follow instructions, while providing loving care for your pets. I do have a part time job, so my schedule/availability will change from week to week as I don't get my schedule for the job until the week of. If I stay overnight at a house, I make sure to be on high alert to listen and interpret what I think the animal needs. I also make sure to be respectful of the household's boundaries and rules as well as taking responsibility of the safety (locking doors and etc.) of the house.
“Mandolyn was great with our pup! She engaged him mentally and physically and was a trooper keeping him occupied during several days of rain. She listened, followed instructions and takes her job seriously. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I love all animals and make sure to give personalized loving care tailored to their unique needs and routines. I’m reliable communicative and make sure to go the extra mile, whether that means sending daily photo updates, extra playtime, or making sure you’re home stays just as you left it. I will trust with every pet. I meet and a create safe comfortable environment while you’re away. I plan my day and week to accommodate each pets needs whether it’s an early morning walk, midday play, or late night snuggles. I can easily adjust to your pets, unique routine! I make sure to follow your pets routine closely with meals, walks playtime, medication’s, and bedtime all in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. My home is also pet, friendly, clean and secure. I offer a calm, cozy space with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.
“Best dog/cat sitter that Ive ever had and it’s not even close! Knowing she is taking care of my pets when I leave gives me so much peace knowing she is taking care of them”
“Sarah and Jeff are exceptional dog sitters! I tend to get a little anxious about being apart from my dog Blue, but I felt super at ease because Sarah was so caring and so communicative. They went above and beyond to take Blue on adventures, give her love and attention, and were very gracious about her quirks too! Very grateful and would recommend 100%!”
“Ivory was a wonderful dog/house sitter for us! She gave us lots of updates and pictures throughout the week and she left our house in great condition. We would love to have her back in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets in my life for over 35 years and can’t imagine a home without them. From dogs and cats to hamsters, chickens, goats, turtles, lizards, and birds - I’ve cared for them all. Growing up, I volunteered with the Humane Society and other animal organizations, which gave me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a calm and nurturing approach that helps even shy pets feel comfortable. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medications, so you can feel confident that your pet will get attentive and gentle care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just being a steady presence while you’re away, I provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets. Animals are truly my passion - I sometimes joke that I prefer them to people, and it’s not far from the truth. I’m dependable, thoughtful, and flexible, which means I adapt easily to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I offer house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and daycare. I also occasionally host small to medium, non-aggressive dogs in my own home. My availability is open and flexible, so I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, evenings, and even last-minute requests. Because I focus on higher-quality, personalized care over high volume, your pet will get the attention they deserve every single time. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I do not accept aggressive breeds and prefer small to medium dogs so I can ensure calm, safe interactions. If caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and maintain a clean, secure environment. I also make sure to stick closely to your pet’s routines to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. When pets stay with me, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I tailor care to each pet - from energetic walks to slow, senior-friendly strolls. Above all, I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in trustworthy, caring hands.
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlr39001 I have about 4 years of experience with medically fragile dogs as my dog is a diabetic and takes insulin and requires a prescription diet with frequent potty breaks as well as one other dog who is on daily medications. My other senior pup has discospondylosis so daily medications are something I am very very familiar with as well as being more careful and slower with pups. I currently do part time work from home so I am almost always available to pet sit or board or in home pet sit or even walk your animals. I am a HUGE advocate for animal safety regardless of breed. I love all animals and would never put my dogs or any other animal in harms way.
About: With hiking trails right off my property and dozens more within a 15 minute drive, I’m able to offer daily physical activity for your pups. I live on 3 acres so there’s plenty of room to play ball or get the zoomies. Also, my sweet dog Atticus will be the perfect playmate for your pup(s)! He is a 7 year old Shepard with good energy, and grew up with two senior dogs so he knows when to give space. Enjoy your vacation or work trip while giving your doggo a fun filled summer getaway of their own! I work nights so I have a lot of free time during the day and weekends. My animal loving husband takes over the care for our boarders while I’m at work. For all of my night shifters out there, I am able to make odd/late hours work as well. I'm happy to take your pup on a walk, play with toys in the yard or just lounge around the house. I'm very flexible so whatever your pup needs, I can accommodate.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fruitland
Highly recommend Thyra for all of your pet sitting needs!! Type A dog mom leaving her first-born furry baby for the first time wasn’t easy - but after our first meet and greet with this lovely lady my worries were put at ease! She stayed in our home for 4 nights and was very thoughtful and courteous. Our pup even got sick while she was there and she provided us with prompt updates on how she was doing and cleaned up all accidental mess that came along. We were so grateful for her careful attention especially during this time! We returned home to a happy, healthy pup and a clean home just as we’d left it! Thank you so much for being such a gem, Thyra - we’ll definitely contact you again anytime we need help in the future!
Morisa did a stellar job caring for my doodle, Mandy, in my home! Morisa followed my instructions to a tee and spoiled my baby with attention. Mandy was completely comfortable with Morisa and, for the first time ever, wasn’t traumatized by my absence. Morisa’s mature presence and gentle / loving demeanor were just what we needed. Morisa was very respectful of my home and left everything in great shape. I’m so pleased and will definitely use her again!
This is the second time I have used Morisa for pet sitting/house sitting - this was for a longer period - almost a week. When we arrived home, the house was suspiciously clean/kitchen untouched…. One would doubt Morisa even stayed except there are pictures of pets to prove it & texts letting me know what each cat is doing! ❤️ Morisa took the time to know each cat’s preferences, sent pics, always communicating & available. She’s great and I will definitely be hoping to use her future is she’s not booked. Thank you, Morisa!!!!! 😻😻😻😻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fruitland is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $82 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fruitland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fruitland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fruitland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fruitland. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
