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.
“Tracy was wonderful to work with. She has a great setup with fenced backyard. She makes sure any other dogs are kenneled in before you open her front door to make sure there is no escaping. Piper felt comfortable and I’ll definitely use her again if needed!”
“Cesarina was a great host! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Chip. Chip seemed to have a great time and enjoyed his stay. I would highly recommend Cesarina to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Samantha was wonderful with Bailey! She sent great pictures everyday which made me very happy. Bailey spent time with her kids and seemed to be well adjusted and extremely well cared for. I would highly recommend and will definitely book here again.”
“Lilyann watched our dog, Wilde, while we were out of town! She took such great care of her and provided us so many updates which really helped ease our minds while we were away! Wilde had so much fun and got to socialize with other dogs which was amazing! Thank you again Lilyann!”
“Ross was amazing with our dog!! Sent us so many updates and I felt completely at peace being away from her for the weekend. Definitely my favorite sitter and I can tell Dolly had a blast!”
“Thank you Destini for taking such great care of the pups! Your frequent pictures and updates let us know they were comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely book again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring person to watch their furry friends :-)”
“Celea was wonderful with the dogs. I love how she has the house set up with dog beds and all kinds of places for my two chihuahuas to curl up. I also love the very secure environment. Thank you Celea!”
“I had an excellent experience with Chris. He’s a genuinely kind person, very knowledgeable, and understands dogs. Communication was great from start to finish, and he was super flexible with my schedule. Max was well taken care of, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for reliable, quality care.”
“Randy and Karen took care of my 2 babies! We’ve been looking for reliable people to look after our babies as we have no family in Ft. Myers. They shared pictures with us and our babies looked so happy and comfortable! We feel comfortable with Randy and Karen and will be booking them again!”
“John was great! We met with him ahead of time so my dog could become familiar with the house, he asked good questions about my dog, and he stayed in touch with me during his stay. I would definitely use John again.”
“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“My 2 dogs love to stay with Omayra! They get to socialize with her cats and get lots of attention from her kids. They are so much happier staying with her as compared to boarding at the vet.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Fort Myers is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers
Thomas & Lyndsay are truly the best! Our dog is always very excited to spend time with them, and they treat our dog as one of their own. They are flexible if pick up times need to be adjusted and are always very communicative. I always trust our dog is in good hands when we need to be away.
Organ was great with communication! Every time I messaged him he messaged back with in minutes. He took great care of my dog for the weekend. He updated me with photos and was gentle with my dog. He even took her out to walk around the neighborhood as soon as she got there so she can get familiar with it. Will definitely be booking again!
Marty was so good with our little guy! I would highly recommend her to others looking for a sitter. My 13-year old dog had never stayed overnight with anyone but family before and he is usually skittish in new places, so I was nervous to leave him. I’m so glad we found Marty for our weekend away. She calmed my nerves immediately during our visit with her knowledge and care for older pets. She made sure Tobey felt right at home and sent us pictures so we’d know he was happy and snuggled up on the couch. I would definitely board Tobey with Marty again.
Julianna and Matt were amazing dog sitters! We left our pup with them for the weekend and had an outstanding experience. She was very attentive and constantly sent picture/video updates throughout the weekend. Her dog Koda is the sweetest and was a great playmate for our pup. I’d recommend Julianna to anyone looking for a reliable, trusting dog sitter!
She and her family took wonderful care of my small dog for three days. Their home was a great environment for small/medium size dog/cat (but not ideal for large dog) and I could tell my dog was genuinely loved and well cared for. The sitter was very responsive, answered questions quickly, and sent photos and updates throughout the stay. I really appreciated the genuine care, kindness, and communication. I would definitely recommend her.
Kendall was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos. My 2 fur babies came back home to us happy and probably a little worn out from the extra exercise she gave them chasing the ball in her complex's dog park. She's a wonderful dog sitter and a wonderful person. You'll not go wrong trusting her with your fur babies.
Genevieve was extremely friendly and responsive anytime we were in communication. Throughout the stay she provided me updates on my sweet pup and even asked clarifying questions. Additionally, she was accommodating to allow me to extent my booking by a day. You can tell she cares a lot about animals!
Tarah was amazing! My boy can be pretty anxious when I’m away and can require a little extra understanding. She never made me feel bad about him being a dog. She was kind and patient and understanding. She sent me updates every day and I totally felt at ease leaving him there. I can’t wait to use her in the future.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Fort Myers on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 775 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fort Myers. About 92% of Fort Myers sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
