“Elisa was great and took excellent care of Maggie and Pepper! We were very nervous leaving them for the first time. Maggie is very anxious around new people, but soon she got used to Elisa and was having a good time while we were gone. Will definitely book again!”
“I am so happy I found Erica on Rover. She was such a good pet sitter for my 3 French bulldogs. I came home to 3 happy doggies! Erica also left great notes and pictures for me to review after each visit. Her response to any question or comment I had was fast and easy. Her sunny disposition makes her a pleasure to work with and I felt so happy knowing she was taking care of the frenchies. Thank you Erica for the treat you left the dogs. You’re so sweet. I will be reaching out to Erica for my next pet sitting request 10/10!!!!”
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.
“Melissa and David were awesome! I needed them twice in two months and only had a very short notice to give them each time and they were able to handle it! Highly recommend them! 😁”
“This is our first time using Rover & Taylor! 10/10 on the first try. Definitely a keeper. I was extremely nervous and Taylor put me at ease. It normally takes a long time for our zoo to like people. She came for introductions before we left. Our babies took to her almost instantly. (Almost for Beth, she lets you know when. She is the baby). They were good with her before she left for the first time meeting. Y’all need a run down of our Zoo. Bella 7y (Momma’s girl - you need her trust) German Shepherd, Sarge 13y(Needy Grumpy Old Man puppy) English Bulldog, AnnaBeth 5y (Moose of the house & Protector from Ibis flocks - all other birds are ok in her book!) St. Bernard, Rocky 19y laid back cat & BeauxRay (rescue)Yellow Naped Amazon - only loves mom…gave pretty eyes and did the cat walk show off and didn’t hiss. Taylor did amazing while we were gone. She sent pictures and kept us in the loop with everything. The best is when Beth accepted Taylor into the pack!! With that being said; We have officially named Taylor our Unicorn Queen!”
“Natasha and Gaspare took great care of our kitties and sent us pictures and updates every day. I would absolutely recommend them to others and I would definitely want to book them again in the future.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable leaving my cats at home and that my cats were comfortable. Ashely provided me updates and even left a ring doorbell message to ensure I was kept up to date. I will definitely be using Ashely for all future pet sitting needs!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, and I currently volunteer at a local cat shelter where I help care for cats of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply giving them companionship, I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, walk, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive service. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll follow your pet’s schedule closely and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and household routines exactly as requested. I take the time to build trust with each animal and let them adjust at their own pace. Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I provide a clean, calm, and low-stress environment while treating every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.
About: I’ve had dogs & have cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve never met a sweet happy tail that I didn’t want to pet or kiss! Their loyalty, love & faithfulness are boundless. The safety, security and companionship an animal provides is all consuming. People come & go but a dog’s love is forever. My experience with dogs is extensive as I’m regularly accustomed to playing, walking, bathing, brushing, cleaning up after & managing sometimes erratic behavior from my own two Maltese boys. Bathing, blow drying, brushing both fur & teeth & cleaning up accidents are my reality every week. I also possess the skill set to care for senior dogs with strict medication schedules, which I did regularly while in college. Apart from this; I have pet sit a litter of baby puppies over the years, beginning at 6 weeks of age. I’m currently available to work any weekdays & weekends. Monday - Friday & do not have any time restrictions. I would be available weekends as well. I’m available for dog walks & pet sit-ins. I have a fenced in yard at home for both of my dogs, but I am also very used to walking pets on a harness & leash to avoid any safety issues. I try to have a spare collar, harness, & leash in the back of my car in case anything unforeseen may arise.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any kind since i was around 13. I love them unconditionally, they bring happiness to everyone. I have my own dogs, bigger breeds, and occasionally dogsit for my sister when she’s out of town! this is my full time! so i have plenty of time to make it everywhere i need to be! i make this my top priority day in and day out! my dogs are free roam in the house, trained and well behaved. my cat is also free roam and is well behaved, and likes almost everyone! if your animals are crate trained, that’s fine! your house your rules! i always stick to what the owners prefer, like, etc. for their animal. i never go the route of sticking to my own rules, it’s not my animal, the owner knows best!
“Alexandria literally saved my life, had to urgently leave and she was so nice to accept a last minute request! She took a great care of my kitty, did everything i asked her to do and i felt my cat is in a great hands while i’m gone! I would definitely recommend her and request her myself for the future times!”
“It this my first time using Rover and David made it so easy! He communicated very well and even worked with me on changing the date since my plans got moved. He gave me great details on how my pup was doing while he was there and even shared 2 pics with me. He understands these are our babies and you can tell he loves animals. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND David and will definitely be using him again!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have family that has all different kinds of pets! Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, you name it! I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them. I just graduated high school at Mariner High School with Bright Futures and will be attending FAU in August! I’m currently working as a Food Runner at Slipaway in Cape Coral. I’m very responsible about making sure my dog is fed, entertained, and healthy which I would do for any animal. I always love to play with my friend’s animals when I visit because I see how much they love the connection too!
About: CLEAN, NON SMOKING, HOME – Private Fenced Yard ~ Dog sitting is part of my business called Gail’s Personal Assistant Services. Please INCLUDE A CONTACT NUMBER IN YOUR INITIAL MESSAGE. I prefer communicating by phone or text. I have two small dogs, a Havashu and a Westie. My back yard is fenced and safe. I sit for many clients who come to the island and stay at inns that do not allow dogs. I have great references. It’s nice to know that while you are here playing, your fur-baby is also having a grand time. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I should say I am an animal lover. I've had cats in my past also. My mother had dogs in our home, so I was raised with them. About my yard It is a fenced in yard, not too large, but big enough for them to play and run around. My experience administering medication Yes. As I have two pups of my own, I have experience in doing this job. I have administered medication to my client's pups when they needed it. My Overnight Stays An overnight stay is 24 hours. If you are gone over the 24 hour period for the one stay, then there is an additional charge for a day care stay. I have loads of time to play with your pups! I'm home most of the time except for some errands. They will love it here with my two! I let my pet run free and they are allowed to sleep with me. I can also crate your pet if that is how you have trained him/her.
“Yani was incredible to get to know and communicate with. From the Meet&Greet to stopping for visit to take care of 3 dogs. She was commutative and flexible when I need to adjust the schedule visit time day off because we were coordinating with another sitter. We were sent picture at the end of every visit along with a potty break/ water report. Would highly recommend and request again”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 713 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Matlacha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Matlacha. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
