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! :)
“This is the second time Christelle drops in to take care of Ash; we are so happy with her services. She makes sure to leave some time for pets and play and to send us pictures:) I really helps ease our minds to know our fur baby is in great hands while we aren’t home.”
About: I have owned dogs most my life and even owned a variety of other animals like fish, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I also currently have 2 dogs of my own and have also done dog training with dogs I've owned in the past. Im friendly with a great work ethic and even have some training and knowledge with a variety of household pets. I am able to care for others fur babies while my 3 children are in school from the hours of 8-2. I can also be pretty flexible. I have some dog training knowledge, as well as a decent amount of knowledge on a variety of animals, and im also bilingual speaking English and Spanish.

Amara has a connection with animals?? and my puppy LOVES her! I highly recommend Amara for anyone seeking pet care. THANK YOU AMARA!!!❤️???”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for many years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you’re away. I’ve also cared for my daughter’s pets and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s normal routine. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I work during the day Monday through Friday and am available for pet care in the late afternoons and evenings. I have more flexibility on weekends and holidays and am happy to work with your pet’s normal routine. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, medications, and any special needs. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your home with respect. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Emily is absolutely wonderful. Super caring and great with pets. She’s great at sending pictures of my pups when she does visits, and always picks up the phone. I wouldn’t want to have anyone else watching my pups!!”
About: As an animal lover since childhood, I’ve had the joy of caring for both dogs and cats throughout my life, including my own two cats and a dog. My pet care experience includes feeding, walking, grooming, and basic training. I’m a patient and active caregiver who believes that every animal deserves love, kindness, and quality care. My passion for animals ensures that I'll provide the best possible care for your pets while you're away.//Si puedo hablar español! In addition to my full-time job from 9AM-5:30PM, I make sure to spend quality time with my own pets every day. For pet care services, I’m available on weekdays from 6AM-9PM, as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays. This allows me to provide dedicated care to your furry companions, while still ensuring that my own pets are well taken care of. Just send me a message and I can let you know! When caring for pets in the client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walking, and grooming schedules. I always treat the home with respect and keep it tidy and secure as I do for my own. I believe that communication is key, so I provide the owners with regular updates and photos of their beloved pets while they’re away. This gives them peace of mind and reassurance that their pets are in good hands.
“Timothy was excellent. He was very punctual with the scheduled time. He provided plenty of pictures which showed my dog in an extremely happy state even tho this was their first time meeting. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve had a lifetime of experience caring for pets of all kinds with a wide range of personalities and health and personal needs. Every pet is different, and I’m willing and excited to learn your pets needs and habits to best cater to them. Your pet isn’t property- they’re a part of your family just as much as the humans, and deserve the same respect. I’m coming into their space, so I want to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. If that means keeping my distance, doing the work and moving on, that’s fine with me. If that means snuggles and an impromptu dance party, we can do that! I’m all for it. Im a military spouse waiting for my husband to return from training. Until he comes home, I have all the time in the world to pour into my community, and would love to use that time to serve your family. I am comfortable doing whatever your pet requires. Cleaning, feeding, walking, crating, medication, etc. I will not use any harmful tools on your pet - prong collars, choke chains, etc are NOT acceptable and I will NOT leave your pet outdoors unattended for long periods! In my home, my pets are cared for on a very regulated schedule and I keep very detailed records of their veterinary needs. One of my cats is an amputee, and my dog is a senior, so I’m very versed in giving medication and simple physical therapy. My method is based in affection, communication, and respect. When my pets communicate with me, I listen and respond, and will do the same for yours, without fail.
About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!
“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!”
“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 !”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers
Christelle was fantastic! She asked great questions during our meet and greet, which immediately put me at ease. Her communication, fun photos and updates during each visit was really appreciated. Our cat Kip was completely happy and relaxed when we got home, and Christelle even graciously put up with our cat's lanai lizard-catching capers. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Emily is WONDERFUL! She took excellent care of my 2 cats. Checking self feeder, handing out treats, refilling water fountain and keeping litter boxes clean. Emily took time each visit to play and provide loving attention. She even made friends quickly with my timid cat. Pictures were sent to me every day. My flights were delayed and Emily offered to extend her care without my asking. I highly recommend her and have already scheduled another booking with her.
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 $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,741 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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
