“He did not succumb to the eye hypnosis trick my overeating dog uses to convince people she hasn’t been fed in weeks. He was not driven away by the chaos that ensues when a human enters the house. All this and he still came back. Thanks! Great job! Pups love him! Hire him! Woof!”
“Autummn has been our sitter for a few months now and I truly can’t recommend her enough, my cat, who is definitely a bit picky, absolutely adores her. I always get so many pics and wonderful updates and it puts me at such ease. Thank you, Autummn 💕”
“Ashley took care of our cats for a last minute weekend trip and even took the time to drop by before we left to get lined up. We will definitely book her again!”
About: I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My approach is calm, patient, and safety‑focused, ensuring every dog feels comfortable and understood while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart • Experienced with all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication reminders, and a slower pace. • Strong communication — I keep owners updated with detailed messages, photos, and honest observations so you always know how your pet is doing. • Behavior‑aware care — I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, and routines to help pets feel secure and supported. • Clean, organized, and respectful — I treat your home and your pets with the same care I’d want for my own. Special Skills • Puppy routines (crate training basics, potty schedules, positive reinforcement) • Senior dog support (mobility assistance, patience with slower movement, comfort‑focused care) • Administering oral medications • Experience with shy, anxious, reactive, or rescue dogs who need extra reassurance • Maintaining feeding, walking, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed During the school year, I work full‑time at a school from 8:00 AM to 3:45 PM, which means I’m fully available for pet care after 3:45 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. I’m also completely free all summer long, giving me plenty of time for daytime visits, longer stays, and more flexible scheduling. Weekday Routine (During the School Year) • Early evening drop‑ins or walks after 3:45 PM • Dinner‑time visits, playtime, and routine check‑ins • Evening house sitting or overnight stays • Consistent communication throughout the evening with updates and photos Weekend Routine • Fully open availability for:• Morning, afternoon, and evening visits • Longer stays or house sitting • Extended walks, enrichment, or extra playtime Summer Schedule • Wide‑open daytime availability for all services • Perfect for pets who need midday walks, regular check‑ins, or full‑day companionship • Flexible scheduling for multi‑day house sitting or vacation coverage When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe. I follow all instructions exactly as provided and treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. What I Do in Your Home • Stick to your pet’s routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime are followed exactly as instructed. • Provide calm, attentive companionship — whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or quiet company, I match their energy and needs. • Keep your home tidy and respected — I clean up after pets, maintain litter boxes or outdoor potty areas, and leave your home just as I found it. • Monitor behavior and well‑being — I pay close attention to body language, appetite, energy levels, and any changes that might need your attention. • Send consistent updates — you’ll receive clear communication, photos, and honest notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Additional Care You Can Expect • Administering oral medications if needed • Supporting shy, anxious, or rescue pets with patience and gentle handling • Maintaining multi‑pet household dynamics safely • Extra enrichment like play sessions, brushing, or outdoor time (as allowed)
“My puppy and 2 kitties loved the couple of days they had with Maggie visiting, my cat, who is afraid of even being seen by others, was snuggled up next to her in pictures. And I really appreciated seeing pictures, especially because I was in a last-minute need of someone for a new pup and didn't get a chance to meet her ahead of time. Maggie was very helpful and gracious in all our interactions, including offering to call for an introduction because of my short notice for needing her. I will definitely hire her again when needed.”
“Kiana is amazing. She’s attentive, loving and communicative. She left great updates on my dog each visit and was efficient in how to care for my dog while we were away. I’d definitely trust her to assist again and refer her to others.”
“Nadaly is SO good with my dog! She arrived early, spent time with him, walked him, and played with him!! She made sure that he had everything that he needed and that he was comfortable before she left. The booking was very last minute so I’m grateful that Nadaly was able and willing to help. I recommend her! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy, Nadaly!”
About: Pet lover. CPR and First Aide certified. Able to administer medications. Trusted outdoor adventure partner. Loves to take long walks. Supervised and safe adventures are my specialty! Retired nurse with an open schedule. I'm available 7 days a week if you need drop in care, dog walks, scheduled feeding or well checks. I have a dog friendly house. Our Bella is an older Berna doodle that's very friendly. We do not have a fenced in yard but I love taking walks.
“Nicholas and Caitlin were so great! They communicated well and sent pictures, showed up promptly for the check ins and seemed to really enjoy spending time with our boys most importantly you could tell the dogs really loved them. We have big boisterous dogs and they are not for the faint of heart-Caitlin and Nicholas didn’t bat an eye and even won over our shy guy. We will absolutely be booking again in the future.”
“Amarina did a great job looking after our cats while we were away. Excellent communication, discreet with the hidden key, and arrived at the expected time each day. We will definitely rebook!”
About: I have experience caring for neighbors dogs and love to be around them. I take pride in always being willing to expand my knowledge about breeds, different care methods, and always improving. I’m currently working part time as well as attending college so my schedule can be a little hectic, however I pride myself on managing my time effectively. I prefer as many care details as you’re willing to give, and I will probably take notes as well. I like to take walks to stay healthy so your pet will have plenty of time outside. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality and quirks is half the fun for me!
“Judy was amazing! She took such great care of our Australian Shepherd during her check-ins. The whole process was smooth, convenient, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’d recommend her again and again!”

From the moment we met her, Alyssa has been friendly, genuine, and trustworthy. She clearly loves dogs and spends quality time with Georgie. She is responsive to communication and careful about safety. She even sends pictures of the fun they’re having, so when I go out, I don’t have to wonder whether Georgie is having a good day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fruitport on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,407 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fruitport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fruitport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Fruitport. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
