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.

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.
“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!”

“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!”

“Erica took such great care of our girls (4 dogs and 1 cat) while we were out of town! She followed our instructions to a T and arrived on time as scheduled. Her photos and notes were very much appreciated and made us feel at ease and like our girls were being well cared for. We will definitely be rebooking with Erica when we need someone to take care of our girls again!”

“Natasha and Gaspare were excellent! Offered to take my trash out to curb and bring in my mail when my flight plans changed. All the pet’s dishes were washed. Everything left in order. A definite rehire!”


“Barry is an absolute delight! He kept in constant contact the entire time and made sure to send pictures of our pups. We’re very pleased with his services and plan on using him whenever we need someone to watch our dogs.”

About: Animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember! I’ve raised dogs my entire life and started pet sitting when I was just 12 years old. Because of this, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to connect with all personalities, from the shyest companions to the highest-energy breeds. I love big dogs and have the patience and stamina they need. In fact, I recently fostered a 3-month-old English Lab puppy from a bad situation, raising him until he was 9 months old while handling all his potty training and basic obedience. I offer a structured, safe, and incredibly loving space where your best friend can thrive. Since pet sitting is my full time job, my calendar revolves entirely around your pet’s needs. I don't juggle outside work or office hours, which means I am available 24/7 to provide continuous, high quality care. Whether your pet needs a high energy play partner during the day or an attentive overnight guardian, I am always on hand. You can travel stress-free knowing your best friend has my full, undivided attention around the clock When your pet stays with me, you can leave the heavy lifting at home. My space is fully stocked with an abundance of premium pet supplies to help them thrive, including multiple fresh water fountains, a secure dog kennel, and a variety of leashes and harnesses. To ensure every guest feels safe, I have a dedicated, quiet room specifically for shy or anxious pets, alongside a separate, designated cat room. Your pet’s comfort is completely built into my home layout.If I am caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the highest level of respect. I strictly follow the customized care plan you provide to keep your pet’s routine perfectly intact. I treat your home as a sanctuary, ensuring it is left in immaculate condition always better than how I found it.

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.

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.

“Ashlee G was awesome! First, we walked the Biltmore Estate grounds with both borzoi, just for fun and so she could get to know the dogs a little bit. That turned out to be a highlight for me. Then Ashlee stayed with my dogs in my camper van while I toured Biltmore and the grounds more extensively. I felt so comfortable knowing the dogs were safe with Ashlee while I was on the tour. I can't say enough good things about this very responsible and delightful young woman. Wizard, Geisha and I, Thank you!”

“We have a very timid dog and Yani was able to coax her outside and her first visit with our dogs. Such a relief to have found a sitter that helps with an anxious dog. Pictures and updates during the visit”

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

- 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 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.
