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.

“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.”

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

“We had a medical emergency with our daughter who is attending university 3 hours away in the middle of the night. We reached out to Taylor and she was able to care for our three dogs with literally no notice the next morning and the next several days !! To make matters worse our youngest dog got sick and had diarrhea in her crate which Taylor graciously cleaned. Taylor even noticed that the same dog had blood in her urine!! Turned out she had a UTI so Taylor totally saved our baby girl. And if that’s not enough to say how AWESOME Taylor is, she was willing to work our three dogs into her schedule because we had to go back to hospital for my human daughter, but thankfully she was discharged. I cannot say enough great things about Taylor!!”

“I’ve been a repeat customer of Alexzandria, and I can’t recommend her enough! She takes such great care of my two dogs and is incredibly dependable. She makes sure they’re both fed and actually stays with them while they eat, which is especially important because one of my dogs will happily eat the other’s food if no one is there to supervise! 😂 She also takes them on long walks and handles both of my big dogs with confidence and ease. Most importantly, they absolutely love her and are always so happy to see her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. We’ll definitely continue booking with her!”

About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep love and understanding of pets from an early age. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals like rabbits and hamsters. I’ve helped friends and family with daily walks, feeding, administering basic medications, and providing companionship while they were away. I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. Whether it’s sticking to their daily routine or giving them a little extra playtime and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Caring for pets is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I schedule my mornings and evenings around pet care activities like walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Throughout the day, I stay flexible to accommodate pets’ needs, whether it’s giving a midday potty break, refreshing water bowls, or offering some cuddles and attention. When I care for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I set up a cozy, pet-friendly space with comfy beds, toys, and plenty of fresh water. I stick closely to each pet’s normal schedule — including feeding times, walks, medications, and playtime — to help them feel secure.

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: 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,506 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Matlacha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Matlacha. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Matlacha after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
