“Our dog is a rescue, and while she’s come a long way in overcoming some of her adverse early life experiences, she’s still a very anxious dog. Christelle persevered through until Willow finally warmed up. Thank you Christelle! For coming through at the last minute and for sticking with Willow. ❤️”

“Emily was absolutely fantastic! One of our babies has separation anxiety and occasionally ends up leaving messes but Emily handled it all with so much grace, patience, and professionalism. She kept me updated, cleaned everything up beautifully, and made sure our babies were happy and comfortable. It is such a relief to have a sitter who is reliable and handles unexpected situations so well. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”

“Tia was excellent. I received pictures and updates while I was away and knew my pet was in good hands. I didn’t have to worry at all. Would recommend if anyone is looking for help.”
“Tim is awesome! Helped me out on last minute notice, took amazing care of my senior malamute, sent pics every visit. Sebastian was one happy pup! Thanks again Tim!”
“Over the course of the eight days that Charles took care of my two dogs, and my bird, I received reports two times a day on how far they walked, see pictures and a detailed map of where they walked. Charles was highly responsive, even when I was halfway across the world on vacation. He gave words of encouragement about my trip and was glad to know that I came back safely. Upon my return, my dogs were super excited to see me, but they were very well taken care of. Would highly recommend Charles and the use of Rover as a way to make sure that your pets are cared for while you are away on vacation! I highly recommend Charles to take care of your babies will definitely do this again. Bailey, Fifi & Babu-thank you Mr. Charles!!!!!!❤️❤️”
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’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ve cared for various dog breeds since I was 18 for neighbors, family friends, and home healthcare patients. My experience includes walking, feeding, playtime, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine this summer because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for a variety of walking and drop-in times throughout the day and enjoy staying active and spending time with your pup. I do my best to stick to the routines each pet is most comfortable with to help them feel safe and more relaxed for while their owner is away. I prioritize and creating a calm and positive environment to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and owners
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 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
About: I have been fostering animals for 4–5 years, caring for pets ranging from newborn kittens and puppies to senior animals. I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, subcutaneous fluids, ear cleanings, and more. Animals have been a part of my life since day one, and I have a precious fur baby of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and someone they can feel safe and loved with too. I can’t wait to spend some time with your fur babies! I work full time from Tuesdays to Saturdays however I do dictate my own schedule and I am able to work my schedule out a bit. I usually go into work between 8-10am and leave between 4-6pm. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I believe they are happiest in their own environment surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and comfort. I will come to you, so your pet never has to leave the place they love most. You can trust that your home and your fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and respect. My focus is entirely on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you are away.

Pet 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.
Brooke really helped us with our kitty when we were in a time crunch. She did everything we asked her to do along with making our kitty feel comfortable. He’s a shy boy too, but really seemed to enjoy when she came to check on him! Definitely will be booking again.
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.
We were in a bind. Ran off to vacation and forgot to feed our poor boy Armin. I reached out and Isabella responded quickly. She couldn’t get there when we requested but we worked it out. She arrived earlier than expected and did everything quickly and professionally. She communicated and made sure to send pics. She’s very nice and I definitely will use her again.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fort Myers on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,704 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Myers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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
- 98% 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.
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.
