“Thank you so much for taking care of our puppers while we were away on our family vacation. Wonderful updates and care while we were away. Next time we are away we hope you are able to watch them again!”

“Over the course of the eight days that Charles took care of my two dogs, and my bird, I received reports two times a day on how far they walked, see pictures and a detailed map of where they walked. Charles was highly responsive, even when I was halfway across the world on vacation. He gave words of encouragement about my trip and was glad to know that I came back safely. Upon my return, my dogs were super excited to see me, but they were very well taken care of. Would highly recommend Charles and the use of Rover as a way to make sure that your pets are cared for while you are away on vacation! I highly recommend Charles to take care of your babies will definitely do this again. Bailey, Fifi & Babu-thank you Mr. Charles!!!!!!❤️❤️”
“Tim was absolutely phenomenal! He came over to make sure he was a good match with our dog first and she loved him as soon as she met him! He was so attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures of our girl. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of so well while we were gone! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Ashlynn - I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, including senior pets and those who require oral medications. Every pet deserves individualized care, so I take the time to learn their routine, favorite activities, and unique needs, I’m happy to provide the care that’s best for them. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of routines and visit times. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet comfort is my top priority, always. As a Cat Mama, caring for animals is second nature to me. First thing in the morning, I am providing unconditional pets and scritches before ensuring food is given and litter boxes are tidied up. For dogs, potty-time immediately and food prepared simultaneously. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting exclusively in your home, where your pet can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs, carefully follow your care instructions, and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. You can count on reliable communication, regular photo updates, and compassionate care while you’re away.
“Brooke has been a huge help during our travels! We have automated feeders and a Litter-Robot, and Brooke not only shared pictures of our pets but also pictures showing that all of our automated devices are working properly! It a huge relief when we have to leave our cat (who doesn’t travel well), even though we take our pups.”
About: I have been a dog lover and owner most of my life. I currently have a longhair dachshund named Ollie who does get along with other dogs. I’ve grown up around horses so I am comfortable with even the biggest of dogs. Im always up for an adventure through the woods or taking a walk along the water somewhere. Would love to meet and care for the four legged member of your family and provide the same love and attention to them as my own dog. I am available for: dog walking, dog sitting (your home or mine), dog visits and much more. I take great pride in how I interact with animals, I feel they listen better than most people I know haha. I do work full time, 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday and live on the 3rd floor of a gated apartment complex in Fort Myers. I do work full time during the weekdays but I am available in the evenings and on weekends. I also live with my boyfriend and he is home usually before me during the week. I treat all animals with love and patience. Every dog is different and I take my time getting to know their personality and quirks so they feel safe around me.
“Alesia is the best! She kept me updated regularly and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cats. When my door lock wouldn’t work, she provided the food to my outside cats so they wouldn’t go hungry until I got back. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!!!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I currently have three fur babies. Two dogs and one cat. I have experience in giving medication and all cleaning/grooming type tasks for both dogs and cats. I am very detail oriented and your pets overall wellbeing and happiness are very important to me. I will give them the love and respect that they deserve! I currently work at nighttime so I am able to provide dog walking or drop in visits for both dogs and cats during the day! I will spoil your babies with so much love and attention so they don't feel lonely while you are out and about. I am great at following any specific instructions provided as well.
About: I have been fostering animals for 4–5 years, caring for pets ranging from newborn kittens and puppies to senior animals. I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, subcutaneous fluids, ear cleanings, and more. Animals have been a part of my life since day one, and I have a precious fur baby of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and someone they can feel safe and loved with too. I can’t wait to spend some time with your fur babies! I work full time from Tuesdays to Saturdays however I do dictate my own schedule and I am able to work my schedule out a bit. I usually go into work between 8-10am and leave between 4-6pm. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I believe they are happiest in their own environment surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and comfort. I will come to you, so your pet never has to leave the place they love most. You can trust that your home and your fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and respect. My focus is entirely on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you are away.
About: With 10 years of pet care experience, I have a natural love for animals, and they seem to love me too! As an online college student, I have the flexibility to provide dedicated care and attention to your furry friends. I’m on winter break and working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m available before 4 PM on weekdays, free all day on weekends, and work evenings as a server from 4-9 PM. If needed to stay overnight I can do that! Your pets comfort and safety is my top priority. I am very flexible and I can accommodate to all over your pets needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers
Brooke really helped us with our kitty when we were in a time crunch. She did everything we asked her to do along with making our kitty feel comfortable. He’s a shy boy too, but really seemed to enjoy when she came to check on him! Definitely will be booking again.
We were in a bind. Ran off to vacation and forgot to feed our poor boy Armin. I reached out and Isabella responded quickly. She couldn’t get there when we requested but we worked it out. She arrived earlier than expected and did everything quickly and professionally. She communicated and made sure to send pics. She’s very nice and I definitely will use her again.
Heather did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away. She made both cats feel comfortable and safe. She did a great job of giving the cats time and space to warm up to her - one is very skittish and the other can sometimes be standoffish. Heather also easily got my grouchy cat to take his meds, which is always a win. I appreciated the updates about their status while I was away and I felt confident the kitties were well cared for by Heather.
Bianca came through at the last minute for me and took care of my cat for a few drop in hour long visits! My cat is very social and just needs some human interaction which is what I requested of Bianca. She sent photos from each visit and my cat seemed content when I came home. Thanks again!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Myers. On Rover:

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.
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.
