“Sara was great! I just relocated to the area and I was a little worried about introducing a new sitter to my cat. She gave Daffodil all the cuddles and soft food she requires to be happy. She’s reliable and attentive. Thank you so much Sara! Henry can’t wait to meet you and Daffodil can’t wait to give you kisses again soon!”

About: Majored in vet tech, I’ve had animals since I was 7 years old. My oldest dog I have is 13 years old and the youngest is two years old. I have a huge heart and passion for animals. I believe animals are angels on earth and deserve to be cared for and loved on. I enjoy taking them on long walks, or just sitting with them and giving them comfort. I am available weekends from 6am-10pm. Weekdays I am available after 5:30 am-10:00am & 9:30pm-10:00pm. This year I will be available for almost every holiday as long as I am notified a head of time, I will accommodate to the best of my ability. I have a huge backyard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company. I have experience in crate training and I will safely crate your fur babies.

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.

About: I’ve loved cats and dogs my whole life, caring for pets since I was a child. For the past two years I’ve worked as a vet tech, combining that lifelong passion with hands-on medical care, and support for pets and their owners. My experience blends deep affection for animals with practical skills in their health and well‑being. I usually work at a vet clinic from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM with a lunch break at 12:00 PM. During my shift I check on the animals, feed and water them, and let them out. After work, I get home, the animals are free for the rest of the night. I prioritize maintaining the specific rhythm and comfort they’re used to at your home. I strictly follow your feeding schedules and medical routines, ensuring they have a dedicated, cozy space to retreat to whenever they need a nap. For dogs, this means plenty of structured walks and backyard playtime, while for cats, I provide vertical perches and dedicated one-on-one enrichment to satisfy their curiosity. Above all, I keep a close eye on their body language to ensure they feel secure and loved, and I’ll send you regular photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun and relaxation they’re having while you're away.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience in professional dog daycare and boarding, including managing an entire daycare facility and overseeing the daily care, safety, and well-being of the dogs in our care. My experience includes supervising group play, coordinating daily routines, monitoring dog behavior, providing individualized attention, and ensuring every pup receives the highest standard of care. In addition to my daycare and boarding management experience, I have veterinary technician assistant experience, including medication administration and attentive monitoring of pets’ health and behavior. I understand the importance of following care instructions closely, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, from playful, social pups to shy dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding routines, providing extra TLC to picky eaters, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know that pets are family, and trusting someone with their care is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and will treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pup needs an adventure buddy, a cozy cuddle companion, or attentive care while you're away, I’m here to make sure their tails keep wagging! 🐶❤️ I have recently lost my job managing a daycare facility due to me going back to school. I will be starting school in November. Monday Tuesday 3 PM to 8 PM Wednesday and Thursday 9 AM to 2 PM , that leaves me plenty of time outside of those hours to be able to accommodate pet parent needs. I prefer to come to your home for the services as I do have a dog at home who is not the happiest with other furry friends. I will happily come in and check on your pup as often as you would like and or take your pup out for as many walks as you would like in whatever neighborhood you would prefer.

I am available to drop in during the day if you need someone to let your dog out while you’re at work, or I can care for your babies in my home while you’re gone! I am home 24/7 and have 2 friendly dogs to keep your pup plenty company. I have an entire room dedicated to dog crates and toys. I have multiple water fountains throughout the house, and ample walking space around my neighborhood.

About: My veterinary training and hands on experience caring for animals in different settings help set me apart as a pet sitter. I graduated from Southern Technical College as a Certified Veterinary Assistant in 2022 and have worked as a veterinary technician in both an urgent care facility and a general practice. Before my schooling, I also gained experience as a kennel technician, where I learned the importance of proper handling, cleaning protocols, and daily animal care. Because of this background, I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and Senior pets who may need extra medical support. I can administer medications, monitor for health concerns, and respond calmly in emergency situations. Pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for by someone with veterinary training and real clinical experience. I’m currently on Rover full-time. I’m used to structuring my days around animals’ needs, so providing consistent, attentive care comes second nature to me. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I provide attentive and professional care. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment while keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Matlacha

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 722 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Matlacha. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
