Rob watched our two pets on a long weekend and was great. We love a lot of communication - and he kept us posted and sent us many pictures. Very professional and our pets loved him. We would definitely recommend!

About: I am a dog mom to two senior dogs, Chloe and Tuni. Tuni is a Doxie with IVDD and Chloe is a grumpy old lady. Both are my world and the light of my life! I am a special education teacher, who works during the day, but I am available on evenings, weekends, holidays, and during school breaks. I am excited for a change of pace and look forward to working with your fur babies! I have a house with a fully enclosed yard and a finished basement. I am available for house-sitting or drop-in visits, depending on your needs.

Dolly had a fun, relaxing time in Khalia’s care. We’re so grateful Khalia was available to play and keep Dolly company while we visited family.

Juliana was beyond great. She took care of my dog as if it were one of her own. My flight got canceled, and she happily took care of the dog for two more days. I don't know what I would have done without her help. I highly recommend her to others.

David watched our pup Daphne for nearly two weeks and was the best sitter we've ever had. He was incredibly communicative, sent lots of pictures, and spoiled Daphne. He went above an beyond to make sure she was comfortable while we were gone and to make sure we had peace of mind as well. David is the only person we will book for Daphne. She already misses him!

Outstanding experience. Maria was very kind to help me and my husband watch our babies on our wedding day, she actually took the time to come meet them the day before. The girls were very well taken care of, and happy as they can be. If I ever come back to Fort Myers for any events will definitely reach back out to her.

About: I’ve had many pets since the age of 6 years old and I’ve always had an absolute love for any and all animals out there. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule for every one needed. I’m available on weekdays (Mon-Thurs) from 12pm and weekends (Fri-Sun) after 5:30pm. I have many experiences with caring for other owners’ fur babies in their home and I’m as respectful as I can be in their houses. I can send many pictures if the client needs them in order to be comfortable.

About: I was born and raised with Dobermans by my side, but my expertise does not just span large dogs--but also small dogs, puppies, seniors, cats, and other furry friends. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter, taking care of my friend’s and family’s cats and dogs. I’ve ensured they’re well-fed, entertained, and they have taken care of business 💩. I’ve stayed at homes and made drop-in visits, so I can provide flexible care. I understand that your pets are like family members, so I’ll treat them with the same patience and respect they deserve! I am currently working part time at an office and applying for other jobs. I have a lot of extra time on my hands and I am looking to fill it by spending time with animals and getting my steps in! I am open for last minute bookings!!! I prioritize your pet’s comfort by following your specific care routine. My process begins by gaining your pet's trust through a calm, patient approach, ensuring they feel safe before we dive into anything. I like to keep the line of communication open with the pet parent to ensure transparency throughout the whole process. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and affection to minimize any anxiety they may face without their typical routine away from parents.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child. I’ve cared for and loved my dog Maya for 5 years and my cat Sombra for 7 years. I also have turtles, and in the past I’ve had parrots and chickens. For me, this is not just a job — it’s a passion that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine because I’ve always lived with animals. I make sure they have fresh food and water every day, give them time for walks or play, and check on their well-being. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to cleaning their spaces, grooming if needed, and making sure they feel loved and safe. Unfortunately, my pets are currently in Honduras, but in the future we’ll be reunited. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their routine and make them feel comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, daily exercise or playtime, regular check-ins, and lots of affection. I also keep their space clean and safe, and give them extra attention to reduce stress while their owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel as loved and cared for as they do when their family is home.

About: With over a decade of hands on animal care experience, I provide dependable walks and attentive home visits rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine care. My experience in animal shelters, professional grooming, and veterinary medicine has allowed me to work with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping me understand their individual needs, adapt to different personalities, and remain calm in new or challenging situations. . Clear communication is one of my top priorities. After every walk or drop in, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I pay attention to the little things, from changes in energy and appetite to shifts in mood or behavior, because those details often matter most. . Whether you need recurring walks, midday check ins, or dependable care while you’re away, I show up on time, respect your home, and help maintain the routines your pet knows and trusts. As the owner of a very smart senior poodle, I understand the trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to build that trust through consistency, attentiveness, and open communication, while providing the kind of care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need recurring walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute care, I prioritize clear communication and dependable service. My goal is to keep your pet on as consistent a schedule as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household guidelines you provide. Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate the little details that help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special bedtime routine, or even a specific way they like their meals prepared, I’m happy to help.

About: As a dog owner you should pick someone to care for your dog who has experience and loves dogs. Well, that care giver is me. Dogs are super energetic and absolutely loyal and that's what I love most about them. Trying to tire out a dog is fun because they're always ready for a game of fetch. If you choose me to care for your dogs you'll be receiving absolute professional service and a great experience for your dog. I have experience in walking, providing medication, and feeding dogs. Hopefully you pick me to care for your loving, four-legged friends. I work from home full-time so I am available for early morning, afternoon, and evening drop offs most week days and weekends as well. We can arrange a drop off on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 6pm. I have a cat already but they don’t require much attention. I have a big fenced back yard for your fur babies to run around. If you bring the crate I can easily crate them. I have a great neighborhood for dog walking.

Guadalupe took care of my cats at home. She did such a good job that one of my cat gained weight when I came back! My senior cats have special needs such as medications, insulin injections. She took care of them all. Thank you so much!

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was born from dogs, to fish, and even a turtle. Given, I have experience in both raising puppies and senior care. My family has lost our 16 year old labrador retriever last year, Mac, due to old age and would like to continue to show our love for pets through helping other families! We recently got Mickey, who is an energetic and fun Shih Poo looking to make friends! I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of any of your pets needs. I currently have open availability! I have a spacious home and large unfenced yard for your dog to play and relax. Your pet will also be very safe under consistent supervision and attention to their needs.

Kieanji was great dogsitting for my little rescue dog, Fufu! I had a work trip and we were able to plan far in advance for her to meet Fufu and a separate meet up for her to see my place. She asked many good questions about Fufu's routine to make sure Fufu and I were comfortable. The day of travel she arrived right on time. She communicated consistently and sent pictures daily. I really appreciated her easy going nature too, helps a lot with an anxious dog :). This was my first time using Rover or a dog sitter and I'd choose Kieanji again and again!
