About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. They have definitely been my absolute bestfriend ever since I can remember. Back in 2024 I worked for about a year at a dog boarding and daycare center, it just wasn’t the environment I preferred. I learned a lot as you could imagine. I have experience with giving medications (plus treats!), cleaning up messes comes with the territory, no stress! I also have experience with dogs more reactive than others, we still love them ! We can work together and talk about anything that’ll makes them and you most comfortable 🤗 I also have a family that I have house at for about 5 years now, she lives on a farm and owns quite a few German shepherds plus other furry friends. I love them all like family! I have also had others ask for me to come in periodically through the day to take care of necessities and make sure they get to stretch their legs on a nice walk if that’s what they prefer ¨̮ I love giving belly rubs as much as they like receiving them ! I want to meet your fur baby next, let’s see what joy I can bring to them while their favorites are away. I am pretty flexible with availability. I’m currently not working. I can do early mornings, I can do mid-days, and I can also do late nights. I currently am living in an apartment complex, but I can always come to your home to take care of your fur babies. For me personally, I have always seen that It helps with my dog if someone comes to her instead of bringing her someplace else. We love going on walks and I will make sure that your dogs are fed and taken care of.
About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ve cared for various dog breeds since I was 18 for neighbors, family friends, and home healthcare patients. My experience includes walking, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine this summer because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for a variety of walking and drop-in times throughout the day and enjoy staying active and spending time with your pup. I do my best to stick to the routines each pet is most comfortable with to help them feel safe and more relaxed for while their owner is away. I prioritize and creating a calm and positive environment to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and current pet parent to a 9-year-old black Labrador retriever and a 2-year-old cat, both incredibly friendly and well-socialized with other animals. Since I work remotely and am home most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. Having a senior dog myself means I understand the extra care, patience, and routine that older pets often need, while my cat keeps me well-practiced with feline personalities too. Your pet will have their own private room in my townhouse, so they’ll have a comfortable, quiet space to settle into if they need a break from the action. Because I’m home so much, I’m able to offer multiple walks throughout the day, so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks on a consistent schedule. I’m attentive to feeding routines, medication needs, and any specific quirks your pet has — just let me know what works best for them. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m available every single day, including weekdays and weekends, for both walks and boarding. Since I’m home consistently, your pet will get regular attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. I have a spacious two-story townhouse with plenty of room for pets to roam and stay active indoors. Your pet will have their own private room for a quiet, comfortable retreat. I’m close to two dog parks for extra exercise and socialization, and I’m happy to walk dogs every 3 hours if needed to keep them comfortable and on schedule.
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.

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.
“Gülçin was great with my 2 cats. My shy one even approached her, and she’s very scared of new people. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to drop in on their fur babies😊”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for animals like chickens, cows, donkeys, and dogs, so I'm well-versed in handling pets of all kinds.

I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I work a standard 8-5 schedule Monday through Friday, but I’m available from 5 PM to 9 PM on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m available all day. Let me know the time and date that works best for you—I look forward to helping you and your furry friend(s)! Romeo and Juliet have the freedom to roam and sleep wherever they like. We keep a water bowl downstairs for Romeo and another upstairs for Juliet, though she happily uses both.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers
Emily was an absolute blessing for my dog! Though my dog suffers from separation anxiety, Emily made her feel so comfortable, she even ate every meal! Emily took her on long walks, which is her favorite, and kept me super informed with lots of photos! Great communication, overall the best experience we’ve had since using Rover! We will be using Emily in the future!!
I can’t recommend Amanda enough. I was so anxious about leaving my puppy for the first time and Amanda made everything go smoothly. She answered all my questions, sent lots of pictures and detailed notes. I will be booking with Amanda every time I need someone to watch my puppy.
Marisa did amazing with my 10 week old puppy! She came with prior experience and was very knowledgeable about working with high energy puppies. She practiced training commands with him and went above and beyond just playing and letting him out. She was patient and caring. She sent updates while she was there along with pictures and videos to show me how it was going (which I loved because I was nervous as I'm a first time dog owner). I'm so happy I booked with her. I definitely recommend.
Gaby was wonderful! She is so kind and amazing with dogs. This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitting services for my 4 month puppy and she did so great, my puppy loves her. She saved me when I didn’t have any support at the time. I made a mistake with scheduling and she was also very understanding! 10/10 will continue to book her in the future :)
Destony, did an excellent job spending time with the dog, walking and feeding along with communicating. The dog was staying at an assisted living facility, while the owner was away. She kept me informed of other people taking care of the dog. Very helpful to know the dog was so loved.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Fort Myers 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
