“Jennifer was a great caregiver. He sent us updates all the time and made sure everything was ready to go and she left. I would highly recommend her. She gave our Romeo lots of love.”
“Dogs may be man's best friend, but Eddy is a dog's best friend. Eddy came for a three day stay with Frida. He is 100% reliable and genuinely likes and cares about pets. He was very attentive to Frida and really understood her. She instantly trusted Eddy and felt safe and comfortable with him. He kept me well informed on their activities and sent great photos. We highly recommend Eddy.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, reptiles, hamsters, fish, and birds. My experience with animals started at a young age and has continued throughout my life. As I got older, I began helping neighbors, friends, and family care for their beloved pets while they were away. I understand that pets are family, and being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for them. I believe caring for someone’s pet takes patience, compassion, responsibility, and most importantly lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well loved while their family is away. I currently have a flexible schedule and willing to work with you. Here to help take care of your baby/s while your away. Great care is extremely important to me. I have a fenced in yard incase your baby needed to stay with me. I also have to pups and cats. If you need me to stay at your house, I have no problem and will make sure to follow your pet's routine to make him or her feel comfortable.
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful! The love ,care, and attention given to my pups while on a 10 day trip was exceptional. Nicole is friendly, professional, and caring. She kept me up to date everyday and sent lots of cute pics. Leaving my pups is stressful but I had no worries knowing Nicole was taking care of my girls!!”
“I honestly can't say enough good things about Kaia. She's watched our three big pit/American Staffy mixes so many times now—whether it's for a long workday, an overnight stay, or several days while we're out of town—and we've never had to worry for a second. Our dogs are a lot! They have endless energy, are always looking for attention, love to roughhouse with each other, and are obsessed with swimming in the pool (which means someone has to dry off three soaking wet dogs every time they come inside!). Kaia takes it all in stride and gives them so much love and attention. She also makes sure they get their daily medications without any issues. One of my favorite things is that she always sends us pictures and videos while we're away. It makes such a difference knowing they're happy, having fun, and being so well cared for. It's obvious how much Kaia genuinely loves animals, and our dogs absolutely love her right back! We trust her completely, and there's no one else we'd rather have taking care of our pups. We're so lucky to have found her, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.”
“Emily was amazing! She took care of our Bailey for two weeks. She’s attentive, caring and easy to work with. She followed all our instructions, kept up communications and daily pictures. She was responsible and respectful at our house but also gave our fur-baby attention, snuggles and diligently kept up with his special care, and daily walks. I strongly recommend her services and would be happy to hire her back.”

“This was my first time leaving my year old Malti poo with anyone and I sure hit the jackpot with Lauren! Wow. She went above and beyond any expectation.. She was on time stayed at my home the entire time. She kept me updated all day with photos and videos.. She is sweet as can be. I’ve never imagined not worrying constantly while away from my baby but I felt more than comfortable from the moment meeting Lauren more so Frankie was more than comfortable with her… I was worried he would want to go home with her: ) Shd spoiled my baby .. I hope she will become our regular sitter whenever we need to go out of town..I would highly recommend Lauren..”

“Barry was amazing and we will absolutely be booking him again. He came prepared, sent lots of pics and even watched dog tv all day just to amuse our girl. The house was clean, our dog was happy and we could tell she really loved him. He may be pricier but the satisfaction is worth it. 100/10 recommend!!”

I can’t say enough good things about Elena! She helped us out in an emergency where my dog was left by another sitter home alone for hours and overnight, traumatized. We were out of town, states away and I reached out to Elena as she has sat for us before. She was so fast to respond and come to the rescue for my baby and watch him the remainder of our trip! Even after my dog being traumatized the day before she was able to provide such level care and communication putting me an ease being so far away. She is so sweet with my feisty guy and I know I can trust her any time to watch my guy. THANK YOU ELENA FOR SAVING THE DAY AND CARING FOR MY FARLEY BOY! ❤️❤️
Nicole was absolutely wonderful! The love ,care, and attention given to my pups while on a 10 day trip was exceptional. Nicole is friendly, professional, and caring. She kept me up to date everyday and sent lots of cute pics. Leaving my pups is stressful but I had no worries knowing Nicole was taking care of my girls!!
Beata was fantastic with our pups, Tatum and Attie. She arrived well prepared and was so sweet with them right from the start. She took wonderful care of them while we were away, from feeding them and letting them out to playing with them and sending us regular picture updates. This was our first time using Rover, and she made it a really great experience.
We, and our two dogs (Barney and Bodie) were so lucky to have found Mackenna on Rover. It has been a busy summer for us, and Barney and Bodie, had never been away from their homes or their dad (me) for any long period of times. This summer has brought an engagement trip, family wedding trip, and unfortunately a family funeral trip. Mackenna stepped in and took exceptional care of Barney and Bodie. Barney is very senior (18 or 19yrs) and is now deaf and mostly blind. He understands his home, but nighttime is tougher for him, as he needs frequent potty breaks, and he is not as aware during the nights. Mackenna stayed at our home, she had no problem dealing with Barney's schedule or his special feeding routine, and plant supplements to be administered. She also took Bodie (8 yr old collie) on numerous walks, and provided what he needed so he was also comfortable while his dad(me) being away, and then, the trip was extended due to a family death. Mackenna saved the situation, saying she could stay longer, immediately given us peace of mind. She is so caring, trustworthy, and she loves animals. We are grateful for your kindness!!
Lillian was great! She came by for a successful meet and greet before the sit and was reliable throughout her time at my home. Lillian sent photos and updates so I knew Penny was well cared for. I'd recommend Lillian to others looking for a responsible and kind pet sitter.
Cassandra was specular, she communicated at every step. We left safe with her care and compassion towards our high needs fur babies. She cleaned up and the house was just like we left it. She texted about her departure and followed thru with attention to detail when leaving.
Catherine was amazing! It was my first time leaving my 3 year old dog for over a day and it was an out of state trip. She made Willow feel so loved and happy while I was away and reassured me with updates and pictures daily. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Estero is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $91 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 1,030 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Estero. 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 Estero 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 Estero 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 Estero 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Estero. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
