About: I grew up taking care of animals since i was 6 years old. I had a Chihuahua for the duration of my childhood, then i adopted a kitten. Over the years i have also fostered numerous kittens including ones that had to be bottle fed. I am currently a full time student and have a pretty consistent schedule. I am mostly available weekends and morning and evening on the weekdays. I always approach them gently and calmly, allowing them to become familiar with me and comfortable. I look out for cues when pet is uncomfortable and needs space.
About: I have worked with dogs for 3 years! I am canine first aid cpr certified I have experienced with giving meds to pups taking temperatures and anything else ur pup/kitty might need! I love to make sure that they are comfortable and not stressed while you are away I love to take pictures and send updates on ur babies! Animals have always been my top priority I love to take care and clean up after them because I love to make sure they have a clean nice space to be! I am currently working full time but the latest my shifts are until 7:45pm I am able to care for them before work and on my break as well as after work! I am able to care for the animal in any way needed wether it is extra loves or even meds. I also know how to keep and animal safe and comfortable.

“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.”
“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: We are lifelong animal lovers and experienced pet owner with both dogs and cats in our home. I grew up with dogs my entire life, so caring for pets feels completely natural to me. I currently have my own sweet pets, and we’re a very animal-friendly, loving household. We offer flexible weekend stays and provide a safe and welcoming environment where your pet will feel right at home. I’m comfortable administering medications, keeping up with routines, and giving each furry guest plenty of attention. While staying with us, your dog can enjoy lots of walks and fetch in our beautiful gated neighborhood with sidewalks — perfect for exercise and sniffing adventures. Before pickup, I’m also happy to provide a bath or little “spa” refresh so your pup heads home clean and happy. Your pet will be loved, spoiled, and cared for like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because weekends are when our family is fully home and available. My husband and I work long hours during the week, but we spend almost every weekend at home with our baby girl and our dog. That’s why we choose to offer weekend-only stays — it allows us to be fully present and committed to caring for your pet. On weekends, we’re able to provide full-time attention, plenty of love, and a calm, relaxed environment. We can offer multiple daily walks, flexible feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Your pet becomes part of our family while they’re here, and we make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every moment of their stay. I care for pets in my home by creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they are treated like part of our family. During each stay, I follow the pet’s normal routines as closely as possible — including their feeding schedule, medications, walk times, and any special preferences they may have. At our home, your pet will enjoy multiple daily walks, outdoor time, and plenty of play such as fetch or tug, depending on what they enjoy. We live in a beautiful gated neighborhood with sidewalks, perfect for safe and pleasant walking routes. Inside, pets have access to cozy resting spots, fresh water at all times, and constant supervision since we offer weekend-only boarding, ensuring we’re fully present. We keep the environment clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, with lots of gentle affection and interaction. Before pickup, I’m also happy to provide a bath or quick spa refresh so your pet heads home clean and happy. My goal is always to make each pet feel secure, loved, and completely at home while they’re with us.

About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!
About: I’ve fostered dogs and cats since I was young, as well as raising bottle-fed kittens. I have two cats of my own, and worked at a pet store for 3 years! I’m a teacher on summer break, so until August, I am available weekdays and weekends at anytime! There are a few certain days I will be out of town, but I will give notice! I have a fenced in patio where a dog can relax, as well as a kiddie pool for some fresh water play! I can take dogs for pup cup runs, take lots of cute pics for you, and go on walks!
About: Full time PA student just trying to get some animal therapy/love ❤️ I’ve never gone a day of my life without having an animal and would love to care for yours! I am currently a full time dedicated student and am not able to work at the moment so during lunch or anytime before/after classes I am available for your animals needs Safety of your animals is my number one priority. I have a high standard of taking care of my animals and I would do the same for yours. Anything you need or want me to do, just let me know and I am happy to oblige!
“Amara was so attentive and helpful watching our cat for the weekend. She made it work with such short notice. Highly recommend Amara if you’re looking for someone to love on your pet when you can’t :)”
About: I've been taking care of Med & Lg breed dogs across all ages my whole life, including Great Danes, Pit mixes, a Husky, and multiple Golden Retrievers. I absolutely love getting to know each dog's personality! I am more than happy to accommodate any special training requests you've been working on to keep those skills sharp as well. I can help teach and reinforce basic commands like sit, down, heal, and place if you've got a young pup. You can count on photo updates, and maybe even a couple punny captions! I work remotely with a relatively flexible schedule, which gives me greater availability to love on your pup whenever you are traveling or just away at work! When you choose me, your fur baby is my fur baby! I do whatever is needed to make sure your pup feels safe, secure, and happy while you're away. We follow any and all house rules for visits in your home. In my home, I have 2 Golden Retrievers who are always welcoming of new playmates to burn some energy, or an older doggo that just wants to snuggle up and relax in the a/c between walks - whichever speed fits your dog's style.
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.
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.
“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.”
“Amanda was AMAZING with our cat! She was our savior last minute! She provided us with great photos, report card and communicated efficiently! She takes care of pets like they are her own! We felt at ease and never once had a doubt or drop of anxiety that lot of pet parents feel! Thank you Amanda!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers
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.
Melissa is an Absolute Gem! Communicated on each visit with photos and kept us up to date on their playtime activities and even followed their feeding schedule perfectly. We will absolutely be recommending and having Melissa take care of our dogs again in the future.
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.
Brittany is SUPERB! I am extremely protective of who I leave my dog with because I know she can be a handful at times, but I completely trust Brittany with my dog. She is attentive, communicative, and truly cares for our dog as if she were her own dog. She is also a vet tech which has come in handy while our dog is going through some undiagnosed issues. I highly recommend hiring Brittany for any of your pet sitting needs!!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Myers stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 .

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 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.
To find sitters in Fort Myers with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
