About: I’ve dog sat, cat sat, volunteered at shelters and work at a pet resort. I’ve have years of experience and all the care and love to show and give them. I work everyday 6-2 or 6-3 at pet paradise. Im hoping to start thing as a business thing and take it on full time as soon as I can get enough clients the better and the more available I’ll become. I will not be having your pets at my home unfortunately, that’s not allowed. As I put on my profile I am able to stop by for visits and walks and playtimes.

About: Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of professional experience caring for pets. I started dog walking and pet sitting in high school, and after graduating, I became a certified dog & cat groomer, spending the next 10 years working hands-on with animals of all breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats, too! I've cared for reptiles including turtles, frogs, and lizards, so I'm comfortable with pets that have special routines and unique needs. One of the thing I love most about pet care is getting to know each animal's individual personality. I've worked with puppies who are still learning the ropes, senior pets who need extra patience, and pets who need a little additional care and attention. During my grooming career, I've also worked with pets dealing with health conditions such as diabetes, IVDD, ear infections, seizures and other medical needs. I'm comfortable with following medication instructions and caring for pets who require a little extra TLC. Whether you pet needs a midday walk, some company while you're away, medication, feeding, playtime, or simply a little extra love, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'm happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe and being well cared for while your away! Pets I'm comfortable caring for *Dogs- puppies, adults & seniors *Cats *Turtles *Frogs *Lizards & other reptiles *Birds *Pets requiring medication * Senior pets & pets with special needs * Multiple pet households I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, and with my kids in school, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I'm home most days and available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I'm also available most weekends and can work with your schedule when possible. I have a clean, safe, pet-loving home with a large fenced-in yard. Every pet had different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for many years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you’re away. I’ve also cared for my daughter’s pets and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s normal routine. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I work during the day Monday through Friday and am available for pet care in the late afternoons and evenings. I have more flexibility on weekends and holidays and am happy to work with your pet’s normal routine. 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. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

So the next time you need to travel give your dog a vacation of his/her own, combined with boot camp training, minus the high cost of both. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog and animal lover ever since I can remember. Growing up in a farm in Cuba, I have always had a great facility for communicating with animals, and making them not only do things other people could not, but more importantly changing their outlook in life to make them happy. Meet my pets Our home is 2500+ sf with ample dog gates and crates for flexible configurations, so we are able to accommodate furry guests who prefer privacy or selected company. Small dogs are kept separate from bigger dogs, and our dog park/backyard is very secure and fenced in, with 6 foot wood fence all around. Double fence in one area, and cemented rock underneath for those Houdini diggers. We have a well trained pack of dogs that help us rehabilitate and correct dogs with any type of behavioral and psychological imbalances. About my yard We have a beautiful spacious dog park in our back yard. It is all enclosed with 6 foot tall wood fence. We have installed cemented rock underneath the fence so the dogs cannot dig out. The yard is about a third of an acre in space, and has many large trees and shady areas which the dogs love to explore. My experience administering medication We are very comfortable and have much experience administering medication and caring for injured and/or sick animals. There are 2 of us full time. Dogs is what we do. The dogs under our care are our first and last thought of the day. I have a fully enclosed yard to keep the dogs safe. We are professional responsible adults and the dogs are always supervised and never ever left alone in the house. Dogs is what we do! We do it All day; Every Day, 365 days per year. Dogs are our life; we are rescuers, trainers, behaviorists, psychologists, and we are also pet CPR/First Aid certified. We have a fully fenced in yard where the dogs can play. In addition, we are always here to supervise the dog on dog interactions. The dogs are never ever left alone in the house.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! Since I was a kid I grew up loving animals and having my own. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had experience dog walking and house sitting for a wide variety of breeds, including Huskies, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, and many more! From energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to laid back dogs who just want some love and companionship, I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. Animals truly have a special place in my heart, and I treat every dog I care for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. ❤️🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am open to whatever needs your pet has. I am currently taking a break from my career as a therapist, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to caring for animals! I am available throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, some playtime, or extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I treat every pet like my own, carefully follow their routines and care instructions, and provide a safe, loving environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind!

About: I’ve loved cats and dogs my whole life, caring for pets since I was a child. For the past two years I’ve worked as a vet tech, combining that lifelong passion with hands-on medical care, and support for pets and their owners. My experience blends deep affection for animals with practical skills in their health and well‑being. I usually work at a vet clinic from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM with a lunch break at 12:00 PM. During my shift I check on the animals, feed and water them, and let them out. After work, I get home, the animals are free for the rest of the night. I prioritize maintaining the specific rhythm and comfort they’re used to at your home. I strictly follow your feeding schedules and medical routines, ensuring they have a dedicated, cozy space to retreat to whenever they need a nap. For dogs, this means plenty of structured walks and backyard playtime, while for cats, I provide vertical perches and dedicated one-on-one enrichment to satisfy their curiosity. Above all, I keep a close eye on their body language to ensure they feel secure and loved, and I’ll send you regular photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun and relaxation they’re having while you're away.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Cape Coral

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Cape Coral is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 1,614 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cape Coral. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cape Coral. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.

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.
