About: I have a Standard Goldendoodle and an experienced pet sitter. I prefer hypoallergenic smaller breeds and take many walks a day. Also have a fence for your pup to roam free in backyard instead of being confined in a crate all day.Unable to board Senior dogs at the moment I can take pups on many walks and playtime in the yard . All pets closely monitored ,home is pet proof and they will remain indoor .Only outdoors for supervised play. I don’t host more than 4 dogs at a time. I have a fenced yard,I also closely monitor play time. If pets don’t get along,I’ll have them play in yard separately .Pets will remain indoor and only outdoor for supervised play.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life and I had big, medium and small dogs in the past and I also had one cat. I took care of pregnant dogs, injured, spayed and neutered dogs. I have college classes Monday-Thursday I have classes during these times : @10am-3pm. I do not travel more than 25 minutes away from Immokalee. I can travel to Ave Maria & Felda. Let me know if you have any questions. I can care for your pet in my home or the client’s home, whichever the client prefers. If the client wants their pet to be in a crate, that’s fine with me too. Either way, I will take the pet on regular walks.

About: Hi! You can use PROMO CODE LAURAC74159 to recieve $20 OFF your first booking. I’ve been taking care of dogs for the past 7 years. I love playing with them in the backyard. Please Note: You and your pup are more than welcome to come to our house to meet and we can chat, HOWEVER please note we do not let owners inside our home, for privacy reasons and to keep a calm environment between the pets that we are hosting. We hope you do understand, however we will be more than happy to send you pictures of our home and we can even video chat. I take care of everything they may need during the day‚ and overnight; from making sure they are fed and hydrated to having plenty of exercise and frequent potty breaks. We love and welcome little puppies! I have a fenced yard so they are save to run around, and they will be supervised 100% of the time while playing to make sure they return save and happy to you! If you have any questions please feel free to ask! My daily routine is open to take care of your pups since I work from home. There is always someone at home. Photo updates will be sent daily :) All dogs need to be current on their rabies vaccine for everyone’s safety. I have a fenced yard, and a big house for them to play around. Their mornings will be quite a d relaxing, and their afternoons will be full of fun. If special care is needed, don’t hesitate to ask.

About: Animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my own miniature dachshund puppy, Juna. I understand the importance of trust, patience, and personalized care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or a calm and caring companion, I’m here to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, I already structure my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. Being consistently available allows me to give pets the care, supervision, and companionship they need while keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I care for pets with the same love, attention, and consistency whether they are in my home or a client’s home. In my own home, I maintain a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where my puppy, Juna, follows a structured routine with regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and rest. I make sure she feels comfortable, stimulated, and well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep their pet’s routine as normal as possible. I focus on providing companionship, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of affection while making sure each pet feels secure and loved in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive, and personalized care so both pets and owners feel at ease.

“Cara is an exceptional pet sitter! She was willing to accept a last-minute booking request during the holiday season to watch my cat. She was professional, communicative, caring toward my cat, and attentive to his needs. She knew how to read his behavior and interact in a way that made him feel comfortable. Highly recommended for watching your cat!”

About: I love all pets and can care for them as you request. They will have free range of the fenced in yard and house. I will text daily photos/videos of your dog to ease any stress of leaving your companion at home. **I pet sit because I WANT to not because I HAVE to. I only allow one other dog at a time in the home. This allows me to give the your pet more attention than with dealing with several dogs at a time.** Smoke free home. I am retired and since moving to our 2.5 acre property I thought there is no better way to host pets. I am home most of the time. If I go out it is just for a quick errand. I have a fully fenced in yard with an electric gate. Always closed for 24 hour protection. I have a very friendly golden retriever for your pets company.

About: Trusted, dependable pet and home care. I provide personalized attention, reliable communication & loving care for dogs of all breeds, personalities and energy levels while treating every pet and home with respect. I love having pets be part of my everyday routine. I enjoy getting outside and exploring local parks, trails and pet-friendly spots and I love taking dogs along for safe walks, play, enrichment and a little change of scenery when they’re comfortable with it. Every pet has their own personality, routine and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Before a stay or visit, I like to meet with families, learn their pet’s routine, discuss feeding, medications, walks and any special instructions and make sure I understand what is normal for their pet. While they’re in my care, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible, giving them plenty of attention and companionship and making sure they feel comfortable in their own environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs and cats all of my life and have always been around them. I love dogs as if they were my own. I currently work at a hospital as a phlebotomist. My mornings are always free all week and I’m off two days per week. Currently not in school and will return to school next year! I offer drop in visits and dog walking services! I am more than comfortable playing around with doggies, giving them treats, feeding/ watering them , taking them out to handle their business when doing drop in visits. As well as for dog walking I have a doggie of my own and love taking walks with her and personally leash trained her as when she was younger she did not like leashes as much. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own!

About: I am a responsible and dedicated caregiver diligent about handling all facets of animal care to promote health and wellness. I have 6+ years of experience in caring for, grooming, and walking pets of all sizes and breeds. Responsible for ensuring the proper care of their pets. Trusted with providing animals the proper medication for their individual needs.I ensure that pets are safe and given adequate attention when their owners are away from home. I can be here for you for many occasions from date nights to full-time set hours, to daily care. I’m a work from home mom! I understand that some things are last minute so if it's late at night or you have an early flight I will be up for you and your fur babies. I offer extended stays as well. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 6 +years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many pets, but I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I work from home, but I am a mom of 3. So school days I’m up early to ensure your pups get a good morning workout and meal. Whether it’s a run around the neighborhood or zoomies in the gated back yard. Then I’m home all day or my brother is here helping with my littlest one. I have my very own fur baby, but he’s a bit old now so he’ll play when he wants to. My brother is also my roommate so he’s here to help out with your pups as well.

About: As a mom and lifelong dog lover, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I’ve seen it all! I’m a proud owner of two teacup dogs, Tofu and Tails, who are my little shadows. I'll give your fur babies a lot of attention. Yes, they're allowed on furniture. I won't crate them (unless requested) With a background in martial arts, I bring a sense of discipline, patience, and structure to my pet care. Whether it’s a walk, special care, or meeting unique owner requests, I’m committed to ensuring every pet is safe, happy, and loved. I take their care very seriously. Your furry friend will be in great hands! I understand that sometimes pets can be uncooperative in an unfamiliar environment. Unfortunately, our dogs are unable to verbalize how they feel but I'm 100% confident I'll be able to understand how your dog is behaving in my care. As your pet-sitter I promise to respect and follow your instructions, and will stick to the routine your dog is used to. I believe every pet deserves a warm and loving home away from home. I’m flexible and ready to step in at short notice. I understand life happens, so I have waived off last minute cancellation fees. If we get too dirty from having fun, I will shower/groom your dog at no additional charge. Pet care fits into my daily routine as it aligns perfectly with my active and structured lifestyle. Caring for dogs isn’t just a part of my day; it’s a part of my life. Whether it’s a walk or a quiet evening snuggles, I make sure each fur baby gets the attention/love deserved, fitting them smoothly into my routine. I own 2 friendly teacups so your dog(s) will always have company in my home. I will send multiple pics/videos when you are missing your babies! My family is very loving and always want the best for the dogs.

Mallory is very reliable, on time, keeps everything very neat and clean. Always kept me in the know with pictures, etc. My cats are a bit shy with new people in the house so there wasn't much interaction, which is fine with my girls. They would rather be left alone, and Mallory understood this. I would hire her again and recommend her sevices.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ave Maria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ave Maria is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $21 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,019 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ave Maria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Ave Maria. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
