“Charles took great care of my dog! My dog is a lot to handle but Charles was more than capable. He came by for a meet & greet to get familiar with him and I definitely felt comfortable enough to leave to a multiple day festival while he watched my dog. Charles was also very respectful of my apartment and my neighbors who like to hang out with my dog on his walks only had positive things to say. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

“Emily is great with our boys and they love having her stay! She’s very communicative and we are so appreciative of her! We will continue to be repeat clients of hers!”


“Emily was awesome she took care of my 3 pups for the weekend while I was attending a wedding out of town she took great care of them sending me updates and pictures I will definitely be using her service again in the future Thank you Emily”

About: Hi! My name is Eliana. I’m 19 years old and I love dogs!! I’ve had my chihuahua, Taki, for nearly 7 years now. When I was living with my mom, I took care of her dogs too, a pitbull and a mastiff, so I’m experienced with both big and little dogs. I’m available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays all day for the entire day so I will be able to see your pup whenever is needed :) Dogs have always naturally loved me. Since I’ve been around dogs for my whole life, I’m good at reading their body language as well. I’m young and enjoy a good walk/jog, so I’ll be able to get both my cardio and your dogs cardio in during walks! :)
“Thank god I found you because you made our honeymoon so much more relaxing just knowing our animals are being well cared for. She kept me updated and sent me photos daily. Also took noodles on walks and played with her the whole time (very energetic dog ) I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“Christelle house sat for us and everything went great. Her communication was awesome during the sit and we came back to the house just how we left it. Our 8 year old bulldog just loves her! We’re so grateful for Christelle’s excellent service and highly recommend her!”


“Shyann is a god-send and the way she is with our pets is wonderful! She communicates great and even my husband noted that "wow, she really follows all the instructions to a tee" We love her and recommend her without any reservation! She stays in our home and I trust her completely!!!”

“Ela was amazing with my dog! She sent plenty of updates and I knew my dog was well loved and cared for. As someone who travels for work I’ve had many sitters and she is one of the best! Will definitely book her again in the future”

I always treat the home with respect and keep it tidy and secure as I do for my own.

Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog and animal lover ever since I can remember. Growing up in a farm in Cuba, I have always had a great facility for communicating with animals, and making them not only do things other people could not, but more importantly changing their outlook in life to make them happy. Meet my pets Our home is 2500+ sf with ample dog gates and crates for flexible configurations, so we are able to accommodate furry guests who prefer privacy or selected company. Small dogs are kept separate from bigger dogs, and our dog park/backyard is very secure and fenced in, with 6 foot wood fence all around. Double fence in one area, and cemented rock underneath for those Houdini diggers. We have a well trained pack of dogs that help us rehabilitate and correct dogs with any type of behavioral and psychological imbalances. About my yard We have a beautiful spacious dog park in our back yard. It is all enclosed with 6 foot tall wood fence. We have installed cemented rock underneath the fence so the dogs cannot dig out. The yard is about a third of an acre in space, and has many large trees and shady areas which the dogs love to explore. My experience administering medication We are very comfortable and have much experience administering medication and caring for injured and/or sick animals. There are 2 of us full time. Dogs is what we do. The dogs under our care are our first and last thought of the day. I have a fully enclosed yard to keep the dogs safe. We are professional responsible adults and the dogs are always supervised and never ever left alone in the house. Dogs is what we do! We do it All day; Every Day, 365 days per year. Dogs are our life; we are rescuers, trainers, behaviorists, psychologists, and we are also pet CPR/First Aid certified. We have a fully fenced in yard where the dogs can play. In addition, we are always here to supervise the dog on dog interactions. The dogs are never ever left alone in the house.
“Absolutely loved Emma! I am so glad she was able to come to the house close to holidays to take care of all my babies! She went above and beyond. She also took a lot of pictures and kept me updated which helped the worries that always come with leaving your loved pets with someone new. Would definitely use Emma again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers
It was very difficult for me to consider using an app to find a dog sitter for my 2 pups. I resisted for as long as possible but inevitably, I needed help and turned to Rover. When I, Milo & FynLeigh met Emily-we knew right away that she was a perfect fit! She is a natural with dogs and she put my mind at ease during our first meeting! I would highly, highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and conscientious person to help with your dogs or cats!

We were so happy to have had Charles take care of our Finn. Finn is a ball of energy, and Charles was patient and attentive to his whims. Charles kept us in touch daily with pictures of their walks. We have already requested him for watch Finn on our next vacation.
Shannon was wonderful with my dog, Finley!! She sent several pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time and was in excellent hands. I will definitely book with her again in the near future. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend:)

Victoria is fabulous! Our english bulldog adored her time with her and my husband and I felt like we had to step up our game a bit after returning home! That’s how intentional she was with our sweet baby. I did not worry about her once and we have never left her longer than a couple days. It was a joy seeing all the photos and hearing about how the day went. Victoria follows through, she is kind and loving, and communicates so efficiently!!

Jess was a great sitter! She was on time, very responsive, and sent regular updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy and I felt totally comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and having an amazing time. Would absolutely book again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Myers on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,045 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Myers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Myers walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Myers maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Myers. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
