“Kara was wonderful with communication and taking care of our fur baby, Linus. Loved getting a video of them playing ball together! Would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter, and will reach out to use her again for future trips when we are out of town.”
“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”
“Savannah is a sweet gal and our dog seemed to love her instantly. She was very punctual and kept in touch. She sent pictures which is very comforting to me when I'm away. We would use her services again.”
“Barry was amazing and we will absolutely be booking him again. He came prepared, sent lots of pics and even watched dog tv all day just to amuse our girl. The house was clean, our dog was happy and we could tell she really loved him. He may be pricier but the satisfaction is worth it. 100/10 recommend!!”
“Charles took great care of my dog! My dog is a lot to handle but Charles was more than capable. He came by for a meet & greet to get familiar with him and I definitely felt comfortable enough to leave to a multiple day festival while he watched my dog. Charles was also very respectful of my apartment and my neighbors who like to hang out with my dog on his walks only had positive things to say. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”
“Madison was perfect! Our babies were so happy and well cared for. Madison was great with communication and pictures. It liked like fun was being had by all! I absolutely recommend Madison. She is top notch!”
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”
“Louise was amazing!!! She left our house VERY clean and my dog was well taken care of!!! I also love how she sent tons of pictures and kept updating me daily!!! I will continue to let her watch my dog!!!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have been caring for them for over 15 years, including dogs, cats, and horses. I recently lost my beloved dog, Diesel, who was a huge part of my life. While I’m not quite ready to open my heart to another pet of my own yet, I have so much love and care to give to yours. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’ve always given my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in your home so they can remain in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I can keep them company while I work and maintain their normal routine with walks, meals, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love and attention. I believe most pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, surrounded by their familiar smells, routines, and favorite spots. Since I work from home, I’m able to stay with them and give them plenty of companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’ll follow your routines and instructions closely and treat your pets and your home with the same love, care, and respect I would my own.
“I had the best experience possible with Miriam. She walked my dog took her to the beach, sent many pictures and videos. And some adorable Instagram posts! She houser for my dog for almost two weeks during the holidays. My house was in perfect condition when I returned and I could tell how happy my big chocolate Labrador baby was while she was cared for by Mariam. I will definitely call on her again to walk or care for my dog and my home!! Thank you so very much Miriam.”

I work during the day Monday through Friday and am available for pet care in the late afternoons and evenings.

I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, medications, and any special needs. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your home with respect.

“Nina is a godsend. We were in fort myers for our long overdue honeymoon and booked Nina to watch our two fur babies. Nina went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving the kids in her care. She made sure she knew everything she could about the kids before we left and sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. She put any and all fear to rest. Shes a wonderful person who loves her job and it shows. We will rebook with Nina any chance we get when we come back.”

About: Animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember! I’ve raised dogs my entire life and started pet sitting when I was just 12 years old. Because of this, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to connect with all personalities, from the shyest companions to the highest-energy breeds. I love big dogs and have the patience and stamina they need. In fact, I recently fostered a 3-month-old English Lab puppy from a bad situation, raising him until he was 9 months old while handling all his potty training and basic obedience. I offer a structured, safe, and incredibly loving space where your best friend can thrive. Since pet sitting is my full time job, my calendar revolves entirely around your pet’s needs. I don't juggle outside work or office hours, which means I am available 24/7 to provide continuous, high quality care. Whether your pet needs a high energy play partner during the day or an attentive overnight guardian, I am always on hand. You can travel stress-free knowing your best friend has my full, undivided attention around the clock When your pet stays with me, you can leave the heavy lifting at home. My space is fully stocked with an abundance of premium pet supplies to help them thrive, including multiple fresh water fountains, a secure dog kennel, and a variety of leashes and harnesses. To ensure every guest feels safe, I have a dedicated, quiet room specifically for shy or anxious pets, alongside a separate, designated cat room. Your pet’s comfort is completely built into my home layout.If I am caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the highest level of respect. I strictly follow the customized care plan you provide to keep your pet’s routine perfectly intact. I treat your home as a sanctuary, ensuring it is left in immaculate condition always better than how I found it.
About: Hey! So, what really sets me apart as a sitter is that I’m super attentive and caring, whether it’s training puppies or giving extra love to senior pets. I’m great at understanding their unique needs and making sure they feel comfy and happy. Plus, I’m always ready to handle any special care they might need! Pet care is something I make a priority in my daily and weekly routine. I set aside specific times for feeding, exercise, play, and any training or special care needed. Consistency is key, so I keep a schedule that fits the pet's individual needs, whether it's a lively puppy needing lots of energy outlets or a senior pet requiring gentle attention and medication. This way, I ensure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for every day. What’s your pet’s routine like? When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I stick to their usual feeding and exercise routines, provide plenty of playtime, and give lots of attention to keep them happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to maintain consistency for the pet. I also make sure to respect the home’s rules and keep everything tidy. Whether it’s at my place or theirs, my goal is to make the pet feel loved and secure.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bokeelia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bokeelia on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 922 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bokeelia. 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 Bokeelia 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 Bokeelia 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 Bokeelia 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.

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.
