“We booked Brooke last minute as our previous services fell through while we were away. Brooke was very thorough and understanding, and got to our dogs within the hour of booking! She took our dog to the vet and communicated his care until we were able to get home. She gave us a sense of relief. Definitely would recommend Brooke!”
“Tyler was fabulous with my dogs. Three retrievers, two golden and a very anxious mixed lab. The lab took to him immediately. Tyler updated regularly with pics and texts. Last minute one of the holders developed a terrible hot spot requiring special care. Tyler was accepting of the challenge and nursed the poor guy back to health. I would recommend Tyler highly! He left our home as if he was never there and our dogs happy! I will use Tyler again in the future!!!”
“Lexie was such an amazing sitter! She took care of my pup for a week while I was out of the country. She was very communicative and took great care of my Remi. She sent me daily updates (often times 2x) and made sure that my high-energy guy was active (and tired) and well cared for. She also helped me out at the last minute, picking up a package for me. I felt so at ease having Lexie as our dog sitter and will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Hannah is great to work with. She takes very good care of my dog Spuds, and my home, while I am away. I've booked with her twice already, with a third stay booked for next week. Highly recommended sitter!”
“Kate was great with all of our pets! She communicated well with us and had lots of photo updates. She even brought in our package that got delivered. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Tyler stayed with our two high-needs Boston terriers for a week. Not only did he take incredible care of the pups, he left our place completely immaculate, even taking care of laundry and sweeping up. He is so above and beyond, and we felt very comfortable during our trip thanks to his frequent updates and thorough care. Thanks so, so much for being so great to our wild pups!”
“Sooz is literally THE BEST! She is so sweet to my babies and has taken wonderful care of my home. She is reliable, dependable and always provides updates/pics 🩷🩷”
“Maya was great! She communicated well while we were away (sending messages about Duncan's day and walks) and our dog LOVED her. The house looked great when we got back. Thank you Maya!”
“We had an amazing experience with our sitter today. Oreo is a rescue dog who struggles with separation anxiety so leaving her is stressful for us. However she was happy and relaxed. The absolute best part was that Oreo felt safe enough to sleep right next to her which is a huge milestone for our girl. It is a massive relief to find someone so patient and comforting. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful and trustworthy sitter.”
About: When caring for someone’s pet, I want them to feel just as loved, safe, and cared for as they would if their parents were home. I’ve been raised around all kinds of pets throughout my life: fuzzy, feathered, and scaly! I also have two cats of my own, Lilith and Demeter, who are beyond spoiled and treated as my daughters. I truly believe every pet deserves that same level of love, attention, and care. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine, as I currently have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I treat them like they’re a part of my family. I’ll follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and love. I’m huge on communication and am more than happy to provide plenty of updates throughout the day/service.
“We are so grateful for Reagan's help last minute. She took care of our dog and kept him company while we traveled. I really appreciated the pictures and prompt communication!! Booking her again!!!”
“Kelsie stayed with my dogs over the weekend while we were away, and I came home to two happy pups and a clean house. She sent me regular updates and pictures. I am so happy to have found Kelsie and will definitely have her stay with my dogs again!”
“As always, Kianna has been great watching our dogs! Professional and takes great care of the animals! Highly recommend you will not be disappointed! Can’t wait till next time for her to take care of our fur babies!”
“Billie just watched my dog for two days and again I am blown away with her service. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy active and attended to. Absolutely the best so happy to work with her.”
“We were really anxious about our first dog/house sitting gig, but Mack did a great job with our 3 needy and spoiled pups. We were gone for 5 nights. She sent many photos, and my pups loved her. We have 2 dogs that require medications, and she followed the instructions to the letter. Our house looked great when we got home, and my pups were excited to see us - but not overly so - which lets me know that they really enjoyed their time with her. I highly recommend her, and we will definitely use her again.”
“Aubreigh was so great with our dog! She was communicative and kind! Last minute we had a schedule change and she was very flexible. She administered meds for us and left the house just as we did! We will definitely have her back 😊”
“Heather and Spencer did a great job! We received constant updates! They both are so friendly and took such great care of our pups. We would hire them again for sure!”
“Adam is great! We had a family emergency out of state and he was able to last minute come watch our animals. He always sends pictures and his commentary of our animals always makes us chuckle!”

Cindy was amazing with our pug and cockapoo. She stayed in our home overnight and took great care of them and made sure to follow any directions for their care. The house was cleaner than I left it too! We got pics while we were away and just saw how much loving they got. She was great to communicate with and super dependable. Very grateful for her!
Kelsey was amazing!! From our meet & greet with her and Willow. She is so kind, paid attention to details and made us feel comfortable having her take care of her while we were celebrating our son getting married!! I would definitely book with her again and would recommend her for you in the future 💕
Chris is absolutely the best! I never have to worry when he is taking care of my dog and my home. He is reliable, trustworthy, caring, and truly goes above and beyond. My dog loves him, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Omg! I cannot ask for a better pet sitter. Maria is a sweetheart and made us feel very secure watching Lucy while we were away. She is very communicative! We really loved that she kept updating us with pictures. I highly recommend booking her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Zania is a treasure. For anyone looking for a responsible, respectful and caring dogwalker for the Lancaster County area, Zania is wonderful. I have a young active terrier and a very Senior, deaf and partialy blind terrier. She was very careful with both. Followed my care instructions and asked appropriate questions to determine how to best meet their needs. She fed them, gave potty breaks and gave my Senior dog her medications with no issues. The dogs loved her.
Erika took such great care of our 2 pups while we were out of town. She is very dependable and followed the care instructions we left. She was even able to help out with a last minute request of feeding crickets to our sons's gecko. And best yet, when we returned home, our house looked just as it did when we left. Always nice to know our pets and our home are well cared for while we are out of town. Thanks Erika!
Ally was sensational. I’ve never had my pets take to someone so quickly. Ally went the extra mile to make sure our fur babies were taken care of while we were away. When my old pup wasn’t eating due to us being away, she brought pumpkin puree to encourage her to eat. 😁 We also just got 2 new kittens and she made sure to protect any areas they wanted to attack and keep everything in one piece 😂. We highly recommend Ally and look forward to her caring for our babies next time we’re away.
Symantha was great with our dog and home. She was a great companion for our dog as well as keeping us up to date with pictures etc. Very much appreciate that! Even with a power outage! The house was exactly as we left it. She even helped out with an important package that came while we were away. Our dog took to her right away - we definitely will ask her to come back!!
Briana was awesome watching our dog. Super responsive and accommodating regarding everything we asked of her. Played with Eugene for hours and then cuddled up with him as soon as he was tired out. I would recommend her to anyone with pets! Will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fruitville is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $69 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 Fruitville 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 Fruitville 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 Fruitville 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
