“Aaniya was an incredible dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our three dogs and kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. She is such a kind and thoughtful person—even going out of her way to buy more treats when we ran out. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive to care for your pets, I highly recommend Aaniya!”
“Kass took great care of my old pup! She was quick to respond, communicative, and kept me posted with photos and updates. I definitely recommend Kass and will hire her again! :)”
“Elsa was very accommodating and was available at the last min. She was the best. She took care of our pups and ready spoiled them with attention and treats. She stayed at the house and took care of things while we were gone.”
“Angelica was so great with the pups! She was extremely communicative and followed the dogs queues and preferences to a T. We got plenty of photos and updates on meals, walks and bedtime. Can’t wait to have her back!”
“We were hesitant at first for ANYONE to watch our girls since this was our first time using Rover. When we did a meet and greet, we wanted the girls to trust the person they would be seeing for a few days. We had our doggy cam and we saw how happy they would be with Elena at times playing and getting hugs. The pictures proved they enjoyed her presence and were being taken care of. We were happy with the effort and care she gave for our girls as a doggy lover and would book Elena again for future trips again.”
“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.”
“Jillyn is an incredible dog sitter!! She took great care of not only my pup but also my home. I didn't worry about a thing while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend Jillyn and she will be the first person I'd reach out to for my future dog sitting needs!”
“Jordan was amazing! She kept me posted with pictures and text to ensure I knew they were happy and enjoying themselves. We had a recent diagnosis for Miss Coco, and Jordan was so empathetic and put me at ease while I was out of town. Thanks again Jordan!!”
“Nina was very good with our dogs! We have 3 large dogs (57-90 lbs) and they can be a handful but she met each of their needs and was able to get them outside and played with them. Nina was great about sending pictures and videos of our dogs which made us feel better about being gone. This was our first time away from the dogs since we moved and all went well.”
About: I adore all pets, but especially dogs and puppies! I’ve helped care for my own dog who I consider mine for 16 years now. I have babysat for many families who also had dogs. I am always one call away for our neighbors too if they need their dog let out or fed! I have a part time job as well as I am finishing my last semester of college. I am very flexible and have lots of free time. I am only in class for an hour twice a week. I have lots of time that I enjoy spending going on walks and keeping your pets company! I love taking my own dog for a walk or playing catch with him in the yard. I always check to make sure he has PLENTY of water, especially during these hot summer days! I make sure he is fed as well. No accidents left unclean in my home either!
About: I am a college student who loves animals of all kinds. I have been taking care of pets since I was a little girl and I am not afraid of a challenge! I understand the importance of your animals that make your house a home. I am a student with one class a day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. My classes don’t last more than two hours so I am super flexible and able to see your pet as often as needed! I care for every pet like they are my own. I feed, walk, check in on, water and more depending on your pet’s needs. I have an open line of communication and will make your pet my top priority.
“Charlie responded really quickly and then we set up a meet and greet. Our pup Frankie instantly warmed up to Charlie... she's pretty aloof with most people. We hope to use Charlie a lot!”
“Kaylyn is very reliable and responsive, she cared For my kitty, my needy large dog that needed long walks, and even released a newly hatched butterfly from my butterfly enclosure! I will be using her again! My house was clean and well cared for in my absence.”
About: I am grateful to share that every day of my life has been spent with a dog by my side. My dogs have greatly impacted my life with their unconditional love, charisma and inherent peace. I am one of those people who can hardly resist petting a pooch passing by😊 I have over 20 year’s experience around dogs and have crate trained and even litter box trained my pups years back when apartment living! Dogs of all kind bring my family and I great joy! I am truly honored to have earned the trust of countless dog owners ensuring the same joy and love are given to their precious dogs in my care. I have recently resigned from my full time career and am looking forward to spending more time outside and with DOGS!! I am available between the hours of 8am-8pm. My availability on the weekends is flexible as well. I have a fenced in yard, two loving dogs, four animal-loving children (ages 8-15) (plus my husband of 25 years) ensuring that your fur baby feels comfortable. I can crate if needed and also keep separate from my kids and dogs if more accommodating to your pet.
“Amber was fantastic! We knew she was the perfect fit for our sweet boy during the initial meeting, as she immediately was speaking with him and showing all the love. We very much liked that she stayed in our home while we were away, as he is accustomed to having someone working from home about 50% of the month. It gave us a lot of relief knowing that he had genuine caring company while we were away, especially during the start of the storm season. She also sent us pictures of our handsome boy so we were able to still see his squishy face while we were in Australia. We will definitely be booking with Amber again in the future!!”
About: Hi! I’m Adrian, and caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. As a proud dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’ll tailor their care to what makes them happiest. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I live an active lifestyle, so daily walks, outdoor time, and exercise are always part of the experience. At the same time, I know when a dog simply needs a quiet, stress-free place to rest. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your best friend is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, safe, and in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will enjoy regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of affection. I only accept a limited number of bookings so I can give each dog the individual care and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my highest priorities. I live in a clean, calm, smoke-free home where pets are treated like family. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. I believe trust, consistency, and lots of love are what make dogs feel happy and secure while their families are away.

Christopher did a great job taking care of my two babies! One of my dogs was having a medical issue while I was gone and Christopher promptly notified me of his condition. He was willing to take him to the vet, if necessary. Fortunately, it wasn’t necessary and everything turned out ok. Then, my delayed flight caused a missed flight and Christopher was flexible and willing to stay longer to accommodate the situation. He was great with providing me with detailed updates on how they were doing each day I was gone. My dogs were well taken care of and happy when I got home. My house was left clean and he even put my garbage on the curb on trash pickup day. I would not hesitate to have Christopher take care of my fur babies in the future!
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.
Maddie is so, so wonderful. She is so kind and caring and was so good with our rescue dog, Sarah. Sarah is fearful of new people and Maddie’s calm and kind energy really helped Sarah trust her. It’s very clear that Maddie loves dogs and has a ton of experience. She sent lots of pics and video while we were on vacation and we knew Sarah was in great hands. Thank you so much for everything, Maddie! We are so grateful. -Linda and Mark
Marlee is the best! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my little guy! She took exceptional care of him and really went above and beyond. Benji required medication and she was incredibly patient with him- making sure he took them without any stress. What really stood out to me was the extra care and thoughtfulness she showed. She even took him out for a walk in his stroller. It really gave me peace of mind that she was taking such good care of him.
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 for House Sitting in Estero on Rover is $63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,029 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 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 Estero. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
