About: I’ve dog sit for two decades mostly for friends and family and some referrals here and there. I’m especially skilled at heel training for puppies and rescues and sweet, tender care for aging or high needs pups. Doggos get my full attention! We play, we walk, we cuddle! Never alone for more than three hours at a time. I am a camp host at Beverly Beach with minimal obligations and lots of time to shower your pup with attention. Your dog will gwt star treatment! We will walk to the beach, chase sticks, jump in waves if that’s their thing, walk among the big trees. I am a camp host at Beverly Beach.
About: I am CPR first aid certified, I care so much for my animals safety and I carry this forth when being given the opportunity to care for your fur babes as well! I understand following specific instructions is necessary for your pets care. About me, I am currently a cleaner at a state building and a licensed massage professional. I have experience working with animals of all sizes throughout my life and if there's one thing to take away(as I am a dog mom as well..) it's.. that we want to have a special person to trust and care for our loved one, while we're at work or on a vacation or just an evening out. I know exactly how you feel and it's SO important you have time to yourself and to come back fully recharged. My evenings are open for drop-in visits, or walks. Currently not boarding, but I will watch your pup for 3-4 hours if you'd like to get out and enjoy the beautiful ocean breeze. For the love of our pets, your self care is sooo important. I've also worked in doggy daycares and mentored with a dog trainer who also used rover to board dogs. It's a really amazing connection that can grow out of needing a trusted and safe individual to watch the dogs. It would be my honor to be there for you and your pets in the same way. Thank you! I look forward to meeting you! I currently have full availability to tend to your pets need and also enjoy outside time. I only work 3x a wk for one hour at the Oregon state police office. I allow the animals to take their time getting use to the new smells and surroundings, Safety and feeling relaxed is the upmost priority. To be given adequate outside time (not only to potty, but to sniff and walk around on leash or in the gated yard.) I require a leash and collar or harness. Food and treats, plus something of yours they can smell or lay on. I absolutely want both you and your pet to enjoy their time here at the Oregon Coast and if I can help be a part of making your time here special I will do everything I can to accomplish that.
“Christopher was great again with our corgi boys! We realized as we were leaving that their food would likely run out while we were away, and Christopher offered to run to the pet store which we so appreciated! Thanks for going above and beyond!”
“Abram cared for our pups and house like they were his own. He clarified care to ensure he did things like our labs were used to and was very respectful. I felt so reassured with him at my house while I was out of town! I highly recommend Abram’s services and will be utilizing his care again in the future 🙌🐾”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 10, varying from my own and other peoples cutie animals, walking, feeding, playing obviously! And just making sure they're all comfy and happy. I'm currently part time so anytime in the afternoon or evenings, I'm pretty flexible at the moment! Not looking to do any overnight sitting though I'm not using my own house to watch pets but whatever the owners have will work. Just paying attention to what they're doing and making sure to clean up and keep everyone happy!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fruitvale
Once again, Jan went above and beyond in caring for our three dogs. She took such wonderful care of them and was especially attentive to our senior dog, including making sure her medication was given properly and on schedule. Jan always pays close attention to detail and follows our instructions thoroughly, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear that Jan genuinely cares about our dogs, and they are always happy and well cared for when we return. We look forward to having her care for them again and would highly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She truly does an outstanding job! 🐶💕
I found myself in a situation without care for my fur babies while I was out of town. I was stressed and upset and probably didn't make a lot of sense. I reached out to Joselyn because I couldn't find anyone that I know who could help. She was amazing! She was so kind and willing to help. She stepped in at the last minute without knowing us. She was great and I will absolutely schedule with her in the future. Thank you Joselyn!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fruitvale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 257 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fruitvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Fruitvale 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 Fruitvale 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 Fruitvale 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.
