About: I’ve had dogs & have cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve never met a sweet happy tail that I didn’t want to pet or kiss! Their loyalty, love & faithfulness are boundless. The safety, security and companionship an animal provides is all consuming. People come & go but a dog’s love is forever. My experience with dogs is extensive as I’m regularly accustomed to playing, walking, bathing, brushing, cleaning up after & managing sometimes erratic behavior from my own two Maltese boys. Bathing, blow drying, brushing both fur & teeth & cleaning up accidents are my reality every week. I also possess the skill set to care for senior dogs with strict medication schedules, which I did regularly while in college. Apart from this; I have pet sit a litter of baby puppies over the years, beginning at 6 weeks of age. I’m currently available to work any weekdays & weekends. Monday - Friday & do not have any time restrictions. I would be available weekends as well. I’m available for dog walks & pet sit-ins. I have a fenced in yard at home for both of my dogs, but I am also very used to walking pets on a harness & leash to avoid any safety issues. I try to have a spare collar, harness, & leash in the back of my car in case anything unforeseen may arise.

About: Hello! New here to Rover but have had lots of experience with taking care of pets like yours! I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your kids, as I’ve been volunteering at shelters and humane societies most of my highschool years. I have also been dogsitting for friends and family for a long time. These experiences have not only increased my understanding of canine and feline behavior, but has also developed my caregiving skills. I even have a fur family myself: three big dogs, two small shitzus & one cat. Rest assured, you’re fur babies will be taken care of as if their my own! Being young has its perks, as I’m able to run, walk, play and even train with them! (or cuddles). Car rides and walks in the park are my favorite! I am committed to maintaining your dogs daily routine and also have fun, take pictures, and update you throughout the whole jouney! ☺️ I’m currently working full time at a healthcare facility Monday - Friday. Completely open for the weekends! For dog walking, I can be there before 8am, go on my hour break to check and see if they are okay, and also head to see them before i go home. For house sitting, only Friday nights and weekends! I have a fenced yard with five dogs that love to roam around with lots of toys and balls they love to chase! A Doggy pool if it gets a little warm!

Once again we had Derek take care of our dogs. He did numerous drop in visits for several days. He was great with the dogs the communication was excellent. Feeding the dogs went great. He even took out my garbage to the curb on pickup day. We highly recommend Derek to take care of anyone’s pets.
Jena was fantastic with our girls, and so understanding of their needs! She is fantastic at communication back and forth as well as working with us and our schedule around her own. She gave us so much peace of mind knowing how good of hands our girls were in. Can't wait to book with Jena again! - Kourtney
Jennifer did an amazing job. I am so grateful to her for taking such good care of my dogs while I had to travel. She was on time, and spent time walking with the dogs and playing with them, not just the "basics". I highly recommend her and hope she'll be available the next time I need help with pet care for my dogs. : )
Juan has been a lifesaver for me!! I have a lot of four-legged kids - several of which have medical needs and need to be monitored and/or have medication administered multiple times a day. I could tell right away by meeting him that he was confident in his skills and could handle taking care of my kids when I travel. Highly recommend!!
Hannah is such a sweet young lady and so respectful and my little old man loves her. He's truly a handful with his continence issues and he did well for her, but she was very kind an accepting of him and all that comes with caring for an old dog. We are so appreciative of that kindness! We will be using Hannah again and again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cape Coral stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Cape Coral 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Cape Coral with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
