“Amara was great! She took care of our baby with lots of love and played lots with him. She sent me videos and pictures which I loved as well. I could tell that Weasley had a lot fun with her.”
About: I been around and had a dog for most of my childhood. I would feed and walk my relatives dogs when they were away or busy. I do have a full time job, but I want stay busy and have a side hustle. Plus, caring for animals give me joy ☺️ I prefer to take care of your pet in the comfort of your home. A place for your pet that is familiar to them to feel comfortable.

About: Hi, I’m Angel! a veteran, full-time student, and father with a genuine love for all animals! I offer and drop-in visits/walks, so whether your pet needs a relaxing walk or just a midday check-in, I’ve got you covered. I’ve been around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats, and kittens to turtles and bearded dragons. I’ve owned three dogs over the years and regularly handle medication for my own bulldog, Boulder, so I’m comfortable with hands-on care. I’m only in class two days a week, so I keep a flexible schedule, this way I have plenty of time to give your loved one real attention rather than a rushed visit. In my own home, pets have the run of the place, couch included, I’m only in class two days a week, from 8 AM to 1 PM, so outside of those hours I’m pretty much wide open. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give pets real attention rather than a rushed visit! For house sitting or drop-in visits, I will accurately stick to any instructions given, following feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific instructions to keep things familiar and low-stress. Pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment throughout our time together. Safety always comes first: I keep a close eye on pets at all times and treat every pet like my own. I’m also always happy to schedule a meet and greet before booking, so you and your fur baby can feel comfortable with me.
“Monique was incredibly helpful. She allowed me to switch from drop-in visits to boarding last minute. And she even kept my dog for an extra day because my flight was delayed. Very responsive and will definitely be booking again.”
“Charles is amazing! My dog was having trouble adjusting to a new routine but quickly adapted to Charles and loves his walks and fetch time with him. He takes such good care of my dog when I’m not home and treats each pet like his own. He always updates me on how my dog is doing throughout the day. 10/10 recommend Charles for any and all pet needs!”
“Kate-Lynn is responsive and responsible, Lala loved being with her. She was willing to meet with Lala and I before our booking to make sure we were both comfortable. Definitely hope to be able to book again. Thank you Kate-Lynn!”
About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since childhood, and over time it naturally became a passion. I have experience with cats, large and small dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and currently I have a rabbit of my own. I am also an exotic pet lover. I have always researched and studied a lot about animal care and health, I like to go beyond the basics to make sure I can provide the best care for my pets. One of my biggest challenges (and achievements) was training my rabbit at home <3 I have always been very attentive with my pets’ health, I even had a personal veterinarian for all of them, including routine check-ups for my hamster haha. For me it is really easy to have a connection with animals and quickly build trust with them, which helps me understand their needs and behaviors. I truly hope to become a veterinarian in the future and continue dedicating my life to animal care. I believe that any living being that is dependent and innocent deserves the highest level of care, love, and protection possible. I currently work part-time, but due to the low season I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to adapt easily to each pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care throughout the day. I live in a gated community, in a apartment with a lot of space. The condominium offers a dedicated dog park with a fenced area where dogs can safely run and play, as well as walking trails for daily exercise. If needed, I can also share photos of the environment so you can feel fully confident and comfortable about where your pet will be staying <3
“Brooke was great! She was on time and actually spent time with Baku, sent lots of photos and was nice enough to bring in my Amazon packages. Will definitely use her again. :)”
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.
“Our dog care arrangements fell through 3 days before we were leaving for vacation. We knew that she wouldn't do well in a boarding situation. We met Brianna and she was a good fit. Our dog Alma really liked her during our meet and greet. We felt comfortable leaving her at home with Brianna doing drop in visits. We arrived home last night to a happy dog. Receiving the visit updates reassured us that Alma was in good hands. We definitely will use Brianna again”
About: I prioritize communication and trust. You’ll always get photo updates, quick replies, and the peace of mind that your pet is in caring, capable hands. I currently work another job with a flexible schedule where I will be able to make time for your pets, I am open to arrangements. I care for pets like they’re part of my own family! I stick to their routines, give them plenty of love, playtime, and attention, and create a stress-free environment—whether it’s in my home or yours. I always keep you in the loop with pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe.
About: I grew up in Indiana in a house that always had multiple dogs, so being around them has always been second nature to me. From big, laid-back Great Pyrenees to small, energetic Rat Terriers, I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from long walks and playtime to just keeping a dog company and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and treat them like they’re my own. In addition to raising my own dogs, I have extensive experience dog sitting for others and understand how important it is to stick to each dog’s routine. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions to make sure your dog feels comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also reliable with communication and happy to provide updates so you always know your dog is in good hands. work a remote job, which gives me the flexibility to consistently fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and attention without long gaps in care. I prioritize keeping each pet on their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure. On weekends, I am completely free and available for boarding or extended care. This allows me to give full attention to pets staying with me, maintaining their routines and making sure they feel safe, active, and well cared for throughout. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for both the pet and the owner’s space. I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavior guidelines. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining consistency in their daily routine. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, ensuring they are safe, well-exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep the home clean and respected, and I’m mindful of securing doors, gates, and anything else needed for the pet’s safety. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away, and I’m always responsive if anything comes up. My goal is to care for each pet as if they were my own while giving owners complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for multiple dogs at once. In 2021, I helped deliver and raise a litter of 4 puppies and kept one to continue caring for as she grows. I’ve managed a home with up to 7 dogs at the same time, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m experienced with puppies, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, and creating a calm, safe, loving environment for every dog I watch. I offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight boarding with a flexible schedule throughout the week. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. In my eyes, a pet’s needs and well-being always come first. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for during their stay. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. I provide a clean, safe, dog-friendly home with supervision throughout the day. Dogs get fresh water, walks, and consistent care. I follow the routines, feeding instructions, and safety precautions provided by each client to insure a safe environment.
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: Everyone has relied on me to take care of their dogs. especially my mom, who works long hours every day. i enjoy coming to spend quality time with dogs. they make me happy and i love to play with them and make sure they’re well. i mostly work days at my job, so i can come take care of your pup when i am done, around 5 o’clock is when i get home. i am off two days as well, so those days will be fully open. i have a nice big townhome with fenced in backyard. and wherever i go, to go take care of the doggies, i will make sure they are safe with me and always on a leash if outside and always by my side while taking care of them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers
Emily is absolutely amazing! She has been wonderful with my fiancé and me, as well as our two very energetic dogs. Our dogs are not the type to love just anyone, so the fact that they absolutely adore Emily says so much about her! She communicates so well with us and always keeps us updated, especially if she notices anything concerning or out of the ordinary. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such caring and responsible hands.Emily is genuinely an amazing person, and we couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable for their pets. We are so grateful to have found her! Highly recommend Emily!
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.

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.
