“Really appreciated Kayla taking care of our Greg. It was certainly comforting to have videos and photos taken of our doggo, it made it a whole look easier to leave him in Kayla’s care. Would certainly recommend her. She was able to recreate his routine without any trouble!”
“Caitlyn was awesome with our 11 year old dog Nala. She was extremely reliable, attentive, and caring. I could not have asked for someone more trustworthy and conscientious to look after our dog, and our home. Highly recommended!”
“Melissa was great, she showed up right on time the day we left and helped keep our 2 large dogs calm as we left. We got photo updates nearly every day and it felt like our house and pups were in good hands while we were away. When we returned the house was in great shape, the dogs were happy and our plants were thriving! This was a fantastic experience, we would definitely book Melissa 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!”
“Kelsey is the BEST! She is always positive and caring in her messages. I especially love how she sent fun photos and videos! Gimli and Teddy can't wait to see her again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Emmy at my sons wedding! What was definitely an unusual request, she handled with such grace, professionalism, and genuine care. She made sure Emmy was comfortable, took her out when she needed to go potty, and stayed attentive to her throughout the entire ceremony. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Emmy was in such capable hands, allowing us to fully enjoy the wedding without worrying about her. She went above and beyond, and it was obvious that Emmy was in great hands. We are incredibly grateful for how loving, responsible, and accommodating she was. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful to care for their dog—especially when the occasion is a little outside the ordinary! Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl, Emmy. You were truly a lifesaver! ❤️🐾”
“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.”
“Austin was awesome! He took great care of our two Welsh Terrorists (terriers) at our residence while we were in Mexico for a week. He really loves dogs and is very mild mannered. One of the terriers is named Austin so perhaps there was some symbiotic thing going on but Peaches was just as enamored with him.”
“Zania was absolutely fantastic with our pit bull & cats. Our pittie is calm & lovey inside, but when he gets outside, he’s a crazy man. Zania handled him with great ease and is very knowledgeable with dogs and training. We had 1 night away and we were updated about walks, feedings, pictures, and given a bedtime pup-date ( update at the end of the day) We could not have asked for more. We are thrilled to welcome her to our house for more pet sitting.”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”
“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 🩷🩷”
“Mikayla did a great job caring for our pups overnight. She even kept up with their medicine regime and reminded me when pills were out. I appreciated that she left our place clean and was respectful. Would definitely reach out again.”
“We loved having Sarah care for Clyde. We came home from an extended trip to a happy and well cared for pup! 🐶 💕 We look forward to having her back to help in the future.”
“Adam was great with our two dogs! He was very communicative and sent pics of the pups throughout the weekend. We highly recommend him and will definitely ask him if we need a sitter again!”
“Patience was great with both of our pups. She recently stayed with our dogs for a trip out of town and I did not have any worries about their care with her. She is very responsive and answered us in a timely fashion. One of our dogs takes a little time to adjust to changes she was great with him as well our other dog who barely noticed we were gone. Cannot recommend her enough. Look forward to booking her more for our future trips.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fruitville is $50

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.
Hannah was wonderful! She was communicative the whole time and I felt that my cats were in the best hands. She tried several things when one of the cats wasn’t eating well and got her back on track. Hannah also ended up staying an extra day when our flight got cancelled and her willingness and flexibility to do that made a very stressful situation much easier to deal with.
Samantha helped us on short notice when my husband and I's travel schedules overlapped. In the week leading up to our travel, both of our senior pets had major medical incidents, which meant that both were on a variety of medications and needed a lot of oversight while we were away. It also meant that my husband and I were both feeling pretty anxious about leaving them. Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our home and our animals, and dealing with a torrent of chats during her stay. She even managed to nab our scaredy cat (who is infamous for his ability to hide from strangers), and get 2 syringes of medicine into him while she was here. When we got home the house was tidy and even the guest bedroom linens were cleaned! We're so glad Samantha was able to help keep our furbabies healthy while we were 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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fruitville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fruitville on Rover is $51.9 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,180 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fruitville. 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 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 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 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
