About: Excited to meet your fur babies! I'm super attentive, love keeping them happy, and promise to send you the cutest updates. Your babies are in the safest hands with me! 🫶 I also have 4 of my own, Violet and Clover. Both very spoiled kitties with big personalities! As well as Hazel and Basil, two little weenie pups! 🥰 ( Perks - Will take cute pictures of pets with my digital camera 😆 ) In your home, I will make sure to follow any specific rules or requests you have to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable. Your pet's well being is always my priority, and I provide them with lots of love, attention, and a safe environment. :) Its important for me to know your pet's routine, likes, dislikes, and any special care they may need. Their feeding schedule, favorite activities, and how they respond to new people and situations to make sure they feel safe. Also very important to know any health concerns, allergies, and behavioral quirks.

Charles did beyond a wonderful job caring for 3 animals. He was timely, did everything we discussed, and our dogs and cat were very happy with him. We got daily updates and photos, and our house looked amazing when we got back. We will definitely be booking him more in the future. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, Charles. Timber, Bear, and Thoomi can’t wait to see you again.

Nina stayed in our house five nights and watched our two year old frenchie. Our dog is super needy and needs a lot of attention and cuddles. He is on three different medications as well. Nina was beyond amazing! She sent more than enough pictures and updates and was always available when needed. She took him potty frequently, played with him, and many walks! She made us feel very reassured and we knew he was in awesome hands! I will definitely be booking her for future trips!

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. 🙂

I highly recommend Jordan. She sat my dog at my house which was less stressful for Kody. Jordan helped him stary calm during thunderstorms. She also took Kody for rides in her car and walks in new areas. Kody was comfortable with Jordan as his sitter.

Kaylee was amazing! It was our first time hiring a dog sitter and Kaylee exceeded our expectations. She follows our daily schedule perfectly, very attentive to all 3 of our animals, played with our dogs/kitten every day, always made sure they had fresh water & food, took our dogs on walks often, gave them treats and sent us updates every day! She was easy to get a hold of and communicates very well which was important to us! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our fur babies. She also sent the cutest photos of our animals every day! We will definitely be hiring her for any future trips we have & I recommend you do too! Thank you so much Kaylee, we are so grateful to have found a sitter like you! She will love and care for all your animals the way you do😊

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.

Nichole is friendly and communicated good from the time I inquired for her service in such a ahort notice. My babies seemed to be comfortable and adapted fairly well with her. I liked the updates and photos sent. I especially like the fact that she is a vet tech and has a background on how to take good care of my four-legged babies.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and can say I’m an avid animal lover! My parents always counted on me to help out with our family pets. I adopted my own pup in 2020 and he taught me so much more about caring for animals and how to be the best friend a dog could ask for :) I love to take long walks and snuggle with furry friends and I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I currently have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, and overnight stays during the weekends! I work in my office during the work week, so I am unavailable for weekday drop ins and walks during working hours, but am more than happy to help out with pets during the evenings on the work week. Also able to spend the night for caretaking if your pet is good with other dogs (would need to bring my dog with me for a sleepover) I regularly take my own dog on hour long walks most days of the week so am more than happy to take long walks for energetic pups! I love to play with dogs, tossing balls, playing tug of war, or just running around together. I know with my own dog that exercise is so important, so it will be top priority for me when taking care of your pet.

FAQs for House Sitting - Captiva

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 893 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Captiva. 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 Captiva 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 Captiva 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 Captiva 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
