About: I love to go on long walks and love being outside as often as I can! I have a dog as well and love cuddling with her and playing with all of her favorite toys. I have walked and watched dogs for about 15 years now. I’m good with all types of personalities from calm and sweet to very hyper. I’m so excited to meet your dog and help out as much as I can! I just moved to Fort Myers from NY and currently in between jobs right now, so I am very flexible with my schedule and availability I have a 10 lb bichon frise/shih tzu mix who loves to cuddle. I also have 2 cats and they all love each other. I make sure to keep my dog active as well as take time for cuddles. My dog deals with kidney stones so her diet requires lots of water so I make sure to take her outside often.
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.
“Nina is a sweetheart! She was super communicative and very accommodating. She sent plenty of pictures adn updates throughout her visit. I cant recommend her enough! I will definitely be hiring her again”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any kind since i was around 13. I love them unconditionally, they bring happiness to everyone. I have my own dogs, bigger breeds, and occasionally dogsit for my sister when she’s out of town! this is my full time! so i have plenty of time to make it everywhere i need to be! i make this my top priority day in and day out! my dogs are free roam in the house, trained and well behaved. my cat is also free roam and is well behaved, and likes almost everyone! if your animals are crate trained, that’s fine! your house your rules! i always stick to what the owners prefer, like, etc. for their animal. i never go the route of sticking to my own rules, it’s not my animal, the owner knows best!
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since age 2. From Boxers and Yellow Labs to Dachshunds and Great Danes. At age 11 I began caring for the other pups around the neiborhood and have loved it ever since. I just graduated college so I will have plenty of time to give your pups the care that they deserve! Without a doubt your pups will be at ease while you are traveling. When I care for others pets I am sure to become well adjusted to their environment and what they are used to so they feel at ease. With plenty of snuggles, playtime or walks outside.
About: I was raised in a dog family, so have been taking care of them my whole life. I've taken care of pets for friends and family. I've even spent time working in a Dog Kennel/Daycare too. I have experience with all breeds, sizes, ages and quirks. I have a house with a good yard, located conveniently off of I-40, near Triad Park. I service Greensboro and Winston-Salem; the Triad is my home. I enjoy catch, walks and hiking. I'm a fan of huge dogs, and enjoy playing games with smaller dogs too. I love pits & bully breeds! Currently, I have a wide availability so you don't have to worry about your furry family members one bit. Be at ease while your pet is in my care. Caring for your pets comes first, each day. Walks first and last thing; not to mention throughout the day. I keep them well watered; and will monitor their vitals if appropriate. If the weather’s good, & they’re in good health, I’d love to take them to the park. They can help me play guitar, or just vibe with me however is most fitting for them.
About: Have had animals most of my life. Love to spend time with them and give them love they need. Enjoy the love they give also. I work Monday through Friday day time. Home on nights and weekends. Have a back yard to share with them. Giving time and attention also. I have a fenced yard, caring for the pet is how the owners want them to be taken care of. Treat them like your own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,485 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Captiva. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 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.
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.
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.
