About: I’ve cared for pets since childhood, welcoming my grandchildren’s pets into my home for stays and play. I’m empathetic to animals’ needs, engaging puppies with energetic play and providing gentle mobility support and enrichment for senior companions. I’ll sit with them during storms, offering comfort and reassurance, and I adapt my care to nurture every furry friend. I begin each day with feeding and an energizing walk, followed by a midday check-in with playtime and potty breaks. Afternoons allow personal tasks while I stop by every few hours for meals, water, and bathroom trips. Evenings include another walk, grooming, and relaxation time. Weekends feature extended outings and enrichment. I remain flexible for storms or emergencies, adapting my plan to each pet’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a thoroughly pet-proofed space. I remove hazards, supervise play, and use gates or crates to give shy or new guests their own quiet area. Doors, windows, and fences are checked before every visit, and fresh water and clean bedding are always available. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow each owner’s routines and house rules exactly. I secure doors and gates, tidy up potential dangers, and monitor food and water levels. I arrive promptly and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, not just pets, but family. I grew up around dogs, volunteered with the Humane Society throughout college, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs needing extra medical care. One of my huskies developed diabetes and eventually went blind, so I became very comfortable administering medications and injections, following strict routines, and giving patient, loving care. I lost my sweet Shih Tzu after 17 amazing years together, and now I have two spoiled pups of my own, Gracie and Lily. I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they are my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekends, with weekday availability on many days as well. I’m happy to work with pet parents whenever possible and always do my best to accommodate schedules, routines, and special care needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and personalities so each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I live in a very dog-friendly area in Fort Myers with plenty of space for walks, playtime, and exercise. I always prioritize safety, supervision, communication, and making sure your pet feels at home.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have a dog named Cash and a cat named Teddy. I also previously cared for an English Mastiff, so I’m comfortable with both large and small animals. Being a huge animal lover, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering lots of attention and affection, and keeping pets calm and happy in their routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always keep owners updated for peace of mind. 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. My routine includes morning walks around 8 AM, feeding, and usually time outside for exercise, whether that’s a walk or a trip to the dog park. I’m very hands-on with animals and make sure they get both structure and plenty of affection. I also have my own pup, so I’m experienced with daily care, routines, and keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable in a home environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I keep doors and gates secured, watch pets closely during play, and follow their routines exactly as you describe to help them feel safe. I’m experienced with puppies, cats, and multi-pet homes, so I’m always careful with feeding times, introductions, and energy levels. I give constant supervision, lots of reassurance, and make sure every pet has their own comfortable space to relax. You can expect clear communication and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Captiva

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,434 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Captiva. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Captiva. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Captiva.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Captiva. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
