About: Hi, I’m Ashlynn - I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, including senior pets and those who require oral medications. Every pet deserves individualized care, so I take the time to learn their routine, favorite activities, and unique needs, I’m happy to provide the care that’s best for them. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of routines and visit times. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet comfort is my top priority, always. As a Cat Mama, caring for animals is second nature to me. First thing in the morning, I am providing unconditional pets and scritches before ensuring food is given and litter boxes are tidied up. For dogs, potty-time immediately and food prepared simultaneously. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting exclusively in your home, where your pet can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs, carefully follow your care instructions, and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. You can count on reliable communication, regular photo updates, and compassionate care while you’re away.
“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!”
“Charles is amazing! My dog was having trouble adjusting to a new routine but quickly adapted to Charles and loves his walks and fetch time with him. 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!”
“Destony was wonderful . She sends pictures . She lets you know when she is coming. I would definatley rebook her for my cat again . I am super picky and was referred by my sister . Kudos to Destony !”
“Brooke was very dependable and reliable! She took excellent care of Beckett and he responded really well to her. She provided daily updates, which were very much appreciated, and went above and beyond my expectations. I would love to hire her again for my next vacation!”
“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.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. They have definitely been my absolute bestfriend ever since I can remember. Back in 2024 I worked for about a year at a dog boarding and daycare center, it just wasn’t the environment I preferred. I learned a lot as you could imagine. I have experience with giving medications (plus treats!), cleaning up messes comes with the territory, no stress! I also have experience with dogs more reactive than others, we still love them ! We can work together and talk about anything that’ll makes them and you most comfortable 🤗 I also have a family that I have house at for about 5 years now, she lives on a farm and owns quite a few German shepherds plus other furry friends. I love them all like family! I have also had others ask for me to come in periodically through the day to take care of necessities and make sure they get to stretch their legs on a nice walk if that’s what they prefer ¨̮ I love giving belly rubs as much as they like receiving them ! I want to meet your fur baby next, let’s see what joy I can bring to them while their favorites are away. I am pretty flexible with availability. I’m currently not working. I can do early mornings, I can do mid-days, and I can also do late nights. I currently am living in an apartment complex, but I can always come to your home to take care of your fur babies. For me personally, I have always seen that It helps with my dog if someone comes to her instead of bringing her someplace else. We love going on walks and I will make sure that your dogs are fed and taken care of.
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.
“Alesia is the best! She kept me updated regularly and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cats. When my door lock wouldn’t work, she provided the food to my outside cats so they wouldn’t go hungry until I got back. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!!!”
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 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.
“Jess is WONDERFUL!! She has been stopping by to let our dogs out at lunchtime and she is very reliable and a great communicator. We never have to worry about our pups because she takes such great care of them and they love her so much. She is a delight! Highly recommended!!”

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.
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.
