About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. Both dogs and cats. I am also very well versed in training dogs. Training my dog is one of the best parts of my day. I spend a good amount of time training my dog. Teaching my dog new things is one of the best parts of my day. I love working with my dog. I follow the instructions that are given to me. I am a rule follower and what steps are given to me are the ones I take.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! As a lifelong dog owner and experienced animal lover, I understand that pets are family and deserve the same love, attention, and care they receive at home. I enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds, whether it's going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. I'm comfortable caring for multiple animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Looking forward to meet you and your special pet! After spending 30 years in corporate America, I decided it was time for a new chapter! We relocated to Florida in June and now have a much more flexible schedule, allowing me to spend more time doing something I truly love—caring for animals. I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and pay close attention to their individual needs. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing together, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs and have had the opportunity to experience life with several different breeds, including a Chihuahua, Rottweiler, and Shih Tzu. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to a 3-year-old American Bully and a 9-year-old Dachshund. Growing up with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels has given me a genuine love for animals and valuable hands-on experience understanding their individual needs. My two current dogs couldn’t be more different! From their ages and sizes to their personalities and exercise requirements, caring for both has taught me the importance of adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I understand that some dogs thrive on exercise, playtime, and activities, while others prefer a slower pace, gentle attention, and plenty of relaxation. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing loving, individualized care. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a member of your family. That’s why I prioritize safety, communication, consistency, and making every dog feel comfortable. Although I have two dogs of my own, I maintain clear boundaries and designated spaces between my dogs and boarding guests. Dogs are never left together without direct supervision, and if I feel an interaction isn’t appropriate or comfortable for either dog, they will remain completely separated throughout the stay. I also accept only one family’s pets at a time, allowing me to provide a calm environment and personalized attention. Whether your dog is staying overnight, enjoying a walk, or receiving a drop-in visit, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind! I work as a Registered Behavior Technician during the week and am also a part-time college student, so I dedicate my weekends to caring for pets! I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for boarding, dog walking, and drop-in visits. During my available hours, I prioritize giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care while maintaining their usual routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I do my best to provide a comfortable, enjoyable experience for each one! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I live in a non-smoking home with a fenced yard and plenty of space for pets to relax and enjoy supervised playtime. I have two dogs of my own, a 3-year-old American Bully and a 9-year-old Dachshund, as well as four small birds. My resident pets have their own designated areas, separate from boarding guests. I establish clear boundaries, and dogs are never left together without direct supervision. If I feel that an interaction isn’t appropriate for either dog, they will remain completely separated throughout the stay. My birds are also kept safely separated from visiting pets. I only accept one family’s pets at a time to provide individualized attention and a calm environment. For drop-in visits and dog walking, I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, respect their home, and prioritize secure handling, safety, and their pet’s comfort. I also provide photo updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away!
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.

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!!
About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently a full time student at FGCU. However I only have closes on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am available any time when I don’t have class. I work part time at a babysitting company, however I make my own schedule and therefore am very flexible! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I was raised in a dog family, so have been taking care of them my whole life. I've taken care of pets for friends and family. I've even spent time working in a Dog Kennel/Daycare too. I have experience with all breeds, sizes, ages and quirks. I have a house with a good yard, located conveniently off of I-40, near Triad Park. I service Greensboro and Winston-Salem; the Triad is my home. I enjoy catch, walks and hiking. I'm a fan of huge dogs, and enjoy playing games with smaller dogs too. I love pits & bully breeds! Currently, I have a wide availability so you don't have to worry about your furry family members one bit. Be at ease while your pet is in my care. Caring for your pets comes first, each day. Walks first and last thing; not to mention throughout the day. I keep them well watered; and will monitor their vitals if appropriate. If the weather’s good, & they’re in good health, I’d love to take them to the park. They can help me play guitar, or just vibe with me however is most fitting for them.

About: I've grown up my whole life with many, many farm animals including dogs and cats. I always loved the pets the most and I can't wait to meet your's! My current occupation is as a Flight Instructor, so I have a very flexible schedule (since I make my own schedules). I am normally available anytime of the week since I have the flexibility to move things around my schedule. Have you ever met a pilot that's not oriented around safety? Well guess what, I can guarantee that your pet will be left in safe, loving arms.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 241 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
