“Olga was a wonderful dog sitter. She sent us several pictures and let know how she was doing. Very please with all the communication. This was our first time with an overnight dog sitter and was very pleased.”
“Our German Shepherd, Luna, stayed with Jessica from 07/20/2025 - 08/01/2025 while we were traveling in Europe. We are beyond ecstatic with how well she treated Luna & how she made her a part of her family. Luna was happy and calm when my boyfriend and I picked her up - worlds different from previous times we had to use a boarding facility. We received picture updates that put us at ease, and she was very patient and loving to our baby. We plan on using Jessica as Luna's permanent dog sitter. Thank you so much for your kindness & love!”
“We are so comfortable leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel! They absolutely treat our dogs like they are family and are so kind in updating us everyday on how they are doing. They have our full trust when it comes to our kids.”
“Krista was the perfect person to care for Amy. She made Amy feel right at home. We were sent pictures and updates daily. I never worried a minute while she was in Krista's care. We will definitely use Krista again without hesitation.”
“I felt comfortable leaving our English bulldog with Sandra and her family. Our boy needs a lot of love and attention. Thank you for taking care of our Diesel 😊”
“Absolutely satisfied with them! My sweet kitty only had a day with them, but they were so communicative. Sent me pictures and documented on paper how he was during his stay. I was very nervous because I have never used a service like this before. Completely calmed me with their attention service. I would definitely recommend and use them again!”
“Kathy had great communication from the beginning. We set up a meet & greet ahead of time. Alula had the opportunity to interact with Kathy’s pets. After dropping Alula off we got regular photos & updates. I would leave Alula with Kathy again.”
“Blue came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly cared for. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your fur baby, but Melissa made it easy. We’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
About: I love all animals! Big, small, furry and inbetween! I’ve been a faithful pet owner for most of my life to two dogs and my best friend, kitty. (Who thinks she’s a small tiger) I love to keep the animals active so long walks are my favorite part of the job or just playing frisbee in the backyard! Lots of head rubs and belly scratches included in my services. You and you’re pet will feel secure knowing that I’ve got the patience and willingness to get the job done! I’m willing to do over nights and travel to you and your pet. My client base isn’t very large yet but I’m looking to expand! I can’t wait to meet my next furry friend out there!
“Excellent! Rose is an experience dog sitter. She 2 puppies of her own. One of them is 19 years old. Rose provided frequent updates and pictures. Our Maltese Mixed breed was a happy camper. Rose tought our pup how to jump through hoops, etc. She has a large and secure backyard. We will definitely use Rose (& George) again. Thanks Rose 🙏🏽”
“Vetra was amazing with my girls and I highly recommend her! I have already rebooked for a second stay. Vetra kept my girls on their routine and sent me pictures and messages to let me know they were doing well. I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that they were being well loved and cared for while I was gone.”
“Excellent care!! Gleidys took wonderful care of my doodle. She kept me updated on his day, sent pictures and made us feel comfortable he was doing great while we were away. Definitely recommend!”
“She’s awesome! Takes the dogs out and also has a backyard made for dogs so you know dogs are always over. Reports to you about your dog. Dogs love her. I absolutely recommend having her dog sit for you”
“Amazing experience from start to finish. You can tell right away that they are clearly experienced dog handlers who genuinely understand and care about the dogs in their care. We felt completely comfortable leaving our pup with them. They even gave her a bath before dropping her off — such an unexpected and appreciated touch. Truly full service. She came home happy, clean, and well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again!”
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!

“Brynn was absolutely wonderful with our pup. He has allergies and she was extremely accommodating on keeping us updated and making sure she did everything she could to keep him safe. We got daily updates and pics and she even let him cuddle right up on the couch, I really felt so at ease the whole time. HIGHLY recommend!”

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Matlacha
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Elaine! Leaving my two precious doggies, Bella and Ophelia, in someone else’s care is never easy, but Elaine made the entire experience absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she treated them with so much love, kindness, and attention, as if they were her own. She sent me pictures and videos every single day, which meant the world to me. Being able to see my girls happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave me such peace of mind while I was away. What makes Elaine truly special is that she doesn’t just take care of dogs—she genuinely cares about them. It’s such a wonderful feeling to find someone you can trust completely with your fur babies. I am beyond grateful for the love and care she gave Bella and Ophelia. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would trust her with my girls again in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as much as you do, Elaine is the one! I recommend her a thousand times over! ❤️🐾
Jessica is always great! My dog has a lot of anxiety but she is always accommodating, makes sure to ask if any changes since the last time at drop off, and communicates well! I can tell that he is comfortable there. I originally picked her after seeing her history & experience with dogs noted on her profile and am glad that I did!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Matlacha can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Matlacha home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Matlacha.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Matlacha sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
