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!”

About: I’ve taken great care of animals my whole life from as small as hamsters to as big as horses! I love dog sitting for friends and family! I’m a full time server/bartender, however on the days I have off I love to stay busy so with my free time I would love to hang out with some furry friends:) I have a safe neighborhood to walk your furry friends as well as I love going to the dog parks and I have a ton of friends with dogs who would love to meet new friends.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, reptiles, hamsters, fish, and birds. My experience with animals started at a young age and has continued throughout my life. As I got older, I began helping neighbors, friends, and family care for their beloved pets while they were away. I understand that pets are family, and being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for them. I believe caring for someone’s pet takes patience, compassion, responsibility, and most importantly lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well loved while their family is away. I currently have a flexible schedule and willing to work with you. Here to help take care of your baby/s while your away. Great care is extremely important to me. I have a fenced in yard incase your baby needed to stay with me. I also have to pups and cats. If you need me to stay at your house, I have no problem and will make sure to follow your pet's routine to make him or her feel comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs since I was 15, I have a dog of my own who I take care of and family friend / dogs in my neighbourhood :) I’m currently a student so I have a lot of time available in the afternoon! Each day differs but I usually have time available each day. I treat them like my own child, I have a soft spot for dogs and I always make sure they are in good hands !
“Gulcin is great! She took such great care of our cat, Eddie. She takes direction very well and is excellent about handling everything you ask her to do. She’s got a great attitude and so easy to work with. Always shows up with a smile. Thank you, Gulcin!”
“Logan is great! We just moved to the area and needed some last minute assistance. Logan quickly responded, completed a meet and greet and set us at ease that Diego would be well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
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’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'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.
“Courtney did a great job for us!! One of our cats is really shy, one is very complacent and one is very outgoing! The cats were well taken care of and the house was swept clean from all the litter that seems to travel through the entire house!! She sent pictures everyday and was extremely prompt every day. I would definitely recommend Courtney and would definitely hire her again! 5 Stars!!”

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.

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 .

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.

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.
