“Alley is by far the best Rover walker I have had. She is attentive, detailed and truly cares for my dog Oliver. She is very dependable and I trust her with the care of my pup. I highly recommend her services!”


About: I’ve always been around animals. I grew up on a rescue farm so I’m very familiar with animals needing medical attention and lots of love! I have 2 big dogs and 4 cats whom I love very much. I’m great with puppy’s who are going through potty training, and cleaning up their messes. I’m also good with senior dogs and cats who need medication, messages, and calm environments. I’m almost positive I could take care of a wild animal if need be! I have plenty of time to take care of any animal you need! I can do drop by’s or I can spend the night to give you peace of mind, and your animal extra love! My dogs are kennel trained, but my boyfriend is ussually home with them while I’m not, they are always going on trips with us and love their walks. I know it’s stressful to leave your animals with someone you don’t know well, but I can assure you they would be in great care with me! I can go on lots of walks with them, play with them, and give them any medical attention they may need!


“Jen is awesome! We hired her to walk our puppy a couple times a week for several weeks and she exceeded our expectations. Jen was very good with the puppy and the pup was always happy and excited to see her. Jen was prompt about the time we had established. I will definitely use Jen again when I need a responsible, caring dog walker.”


“Pamela is amazing. Used her a few times now and love her. She is always punctual, open communication. She always looking out for your fur family and always goes beyond and above.”


About: I have been helping my grandparents take care of their pitbull since 2020. I also frequently walk my neighbors dogs when they ask me to 🫶🏻. I am a full time college student and have a full time job. I am looking for a side hussle doing what I love. I am available in the mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and sunday as well as night and afternoons. I have a fenced in yard with a decent amount of land for my pitbull to run around in. I am also constantly checking his food and water bowls. We have plenty of toys to stimulate him when I am not home, but he does go on multiple walks a day

“Messia and David... where awesome.”


About: Hello, I am still pretty young and have all the energy your pet may need! I absolutely love dogs of all kind and looking forward to helping your fur baby's! I love being active and outside so I'm not bothered by taking them for some exercise. Have the strength to hold heavier dogs as long as they're not giant! I have grown up with dogs my whole life so I am very familiar with the ways of animals and how love and affection is the most important thing they need!

About: Being raised in a household of multiple dogs, and a cat, animals became my passion. In 1995 I graduated from a Veterinary technician program in Minnesota, in addition to my training and medical capabilities I also am very observant of animals behavior and overall health. I also spent many years in the dog show world traveling all over the country showing, caring for, and handling many dogs of a variety of breeds. After years of working in a vet clinic setting and showing dogs every weekend I decided to step away from that life and concentrate on my family. My career became one of a stay at home mom. I eventually did work part time for some animal rescue organizations as well as managing a low cost spay and neuter bus. My husband is retired paramedic fire fighter with years of experience caring for and training dogs as well. Our children are now grown and we have recently moved from Jupiter, Florida to Cape Coral to be closer to family, and enjoy retirement. I have really missed working with animals and because free time is something I have these days I I decided to reactivated my rover account. It’s time to do something I enjoy again now that Inhave the time and that something is spending time with animals. I believe dogs are family and when caring for other peoples pets they will be treated like my own. Medications, fluids, nails dremeled, baths, and ear cleaning are all things that I can do in addition to your scheduled service. When boarding in my home will be only one dog at a time. If someone has multiple dogs I am willing to make exceptions. My yard is fenced and all trips outside will be supervised. For the most part I am home all day. Dogs are let out frequently and given all kinds of attention. I can try and stick to whatever schedule they are used to. Our yard is fenced we have two sides and each side is fenced separately. I have a bullmastiff and a French bulldog that are great with other dogs but I don’t take any chances with my dogs or others so they will not be together. Heat is also something I don’t let them be exposed to for long. In these summer months trips outside will be short and frequent and supervised

Matlacha dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan went above and beyond today with our Boo and Olive. She came over in the morning and spent abundant time with them and then again in the afternoon. It was just what we needed--not having to worry about them while we were dealing with an all-day appointment. We could tell from the photos that they were relaxed and enjoyed Megan's company. (She may have lavished more attention on them than we do!) When we arrived home, they showed none of the signs of stress or anxiety they usually display when left alone for just a couple of hours. Communication was excellent and, fortunately, Megan was flexible and adjusted the times because of a change of plan. Finally, it's important to note that Megan did come over ahead for a short 'meet and greet' session. She took notes, listened carefully and asked pertinent questions. I knew then that she would be well-prepared and kind to our beloved pets.
