“Truly 5 stars! Gertie is our bulldog and can be a challenging breed, but Nina was amazing and so special to our little loved one. Gertie misses her for sure! Highly recommend, professional, safe and warm.... never worried about our pup or our home.”
About: Excited to meet your fur babies! I'm super attentive, love keeping them happy, and promise to send you the cutest updates. Your babies are in the safest hands with me! 🫶 I also have 4 of my own, Violet and Clover. Both very spoiled kitties with big personalities! As well as Hazel and Basil, two little weenie pups! 🥰 ( Perks - Will take cute pictures of pets with my digital camera 😆 ) In your home, I will make sure to follow any specific rules or requests you have to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable. Your pet's well being is always my priority, and I provide them with lots of love, attention, and a safe environment. :) Its important for me to know your pet's routine, likes, dislikes, and any special care they may need. Their feeding schedule, favorite activities, and how they respond to new people and situations to make sure they feel safe. Also very important to know any health concerns, allergies, and behavioral quirks.
“Elizabeth watched my Zoey over Christmas and did such a great job communicating and sending pictures every day. We did a meet and greet before our trip and was so happy that her sweet dog indie was a perfect play partner for Zoey and felt super comfortable having them play in the yard. She took Zoey for walks and play dates with her dog and Zoey was a happy pup! I recommend Elizabeth!”
“We were hesitant at first for ANYONE to watch our girls since this was our first time using Rover. When we did a meet and greet, we wanted the girls to trust the person they would be seeing for a few days. We had our doggy cam and we saw how happy they would be with Elena at times playing and getting hugs. The pictures proved they enjoyed her presence and were being taken care of. We were happy with the effort and care she gave for our girls as a doggy lover and would book Elena again for future trips again.”
“Madison was perfect! Our babies were so happy and well cared for. Madison was great with communication and pictures. It liked like fun was being had by all! I absolutely recommend Madison. She is top notch!”
“Jillyn is an incredible dog sitter!! She took great care of not only my pup but also my home. I didn't worry about a thing while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend Jillyn and she will be the first person I'd reach out to for my future dog sitting needs!”
“Taylor stayed with our babies for 4 nights, sent photos and left the house just as clean as when she arrived! She was very responsive and all four of the babies were relaxed and happy when we returned. We'll definitely be asking her back!”
“Edward has an amazing gift with his ability to relate to dogs. Our shy dog warmed up to him right away and I swear both dogs are disappointed when we come home and Edward leaves. We never worry about a thing when Edward is dog sitting for us.”
“We’re so glad that we found Tatyana when we did! Not only did she agree to take on the job last minute when another dog sitter backed out, but she took phenomenal care of our senior female dog and provided so many nice updates and photos throughout every day. 100% recommend and hope to use her again in the future!”
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, reptiles, hamsters, fish, and birds. My experience with animals started at a young age and has continued throughout my life. As I got older, I began helping neighbors, friends, and family care for their beloved pets while they were away. I understand that pets are family, and being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for them. I believe caring for someone’s pet takes patience, compassion, responsibility, and most importantly lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well loved while their family is away. I currently have a flexible schedule and willing to work with you. Here to help take care of your baby/s while your away. Great care is extremely important to me. I have a fenced in yard incase your baby needed to stay with me. I also have to pups and cats. If you need me to stay at your house, I have no problem and will make sure to follow your pet's routine to make him or her feel comfortable.
“Mia really enjoyed having Mary stay with her while I was away. I came home to a happy dog which is my most important criteria for an excellent “puppy sitter”. I have booked Mary again.”
About: I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, providing personalized care, plenty of affection, exercise, and special attention to puppies, seniors, and pets with unique needs and wants I’m a stay at home mom so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and companionship while keeping their needs my priority. I provide loving, attentive care while following each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and special instructions to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.
“Barry did a GREAT job of taking care of our two Doxies ! They were as happy as they could be when we got home. (They told us they really like Mr Barry and he can come over anytime)”
“Jordan was amazing! She kept me posted with pictures and text to ensure I knew they were happy and enjoying themselves. We had a recent diagnosis for Miss Coco, and Jordan was so empathetic and put me at ease while I was out of town. Thanks again Jordan!!”
About: I’ve dog sat, cat sat, volunteered at shelters and work at a pet resort. I’ve have years of experience and all the care and love to show and give them. I work everyday 6-2 or 6-3 at pet paradise. Im hoping to start thing as a business thing and take it on full time as soon as I can get enough clients the better and the more available I’ll become. I will not be having your pets at my home unfortunately, that’s not allowed. As I put on my profile I am able to stop by for visits and walks and playtimes.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Myers Beach
Belinda and her husband were absolutely awesome. I was worried about leaving Elle with someone other than family. Elle loved them instantly. Belinda sent pics and notes on Elle’s stay while I was away. She had a huge stuffed dog that Elle loved. Belinda said Elle even took her toys, one by one, to lay with the stuffed dog. I will definitely recommend Belinda and use her again! Thanks Belinda for a wonderful experience with a sitter for Elle!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Myers Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Myers Beach on Rover is $41.59 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,056 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Myers Beach. 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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
