“She came and walked my dogs twice today while away and brought my packages that were on my porch inside. This was my second time using Elisa and my babies were happy when I got home! Will use her every time I'm able!”
About: I have loved and taken care dogs, cats, birds,turtles,and fish all of my life. I love all animals big and small. I have alot of love, care, and energy to give to your fur babies! Im currently working part time and I have most weekends and weekdays free. Im a trust worthy and loving caregiver.I have cared for animals of all sizes and ages. I can also adminster medications if needed for your fur baby. Recently my handsome boy Charlie passed away , which leaves with neddeding to get my fix of animal love.

“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: Since the day I was born we’ve had four legged friends running around, so I consider myself somewhat of a dog whisperer! My love for our puppy pals extends to pets of all sizes. I have experience with fur babies from 2 pounds to 150 pounds, and I've been watching pups for about 9 years now! We all know every dog is different with different needs and I’m here to cater to all of them! If you have an adventurous energetic excited baby, a tired sleepy couch potato, or maybe right in the middle, I’m the girl for you. I’m a proud mama of a German Shepard, Basenji pup, and 2 kitties, so rest assured your babes will be treated like my very own!! ❤️ I am a part-time student at FGCU with lots of time for scheduled walks, impromptu sitting, or even a just a quick visit to go potty. When it comes to care, your instructions are what counts! I am an excellent leash handler and schedule follower, whether its a walk or a stay in home I am dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment for you and your fur babies!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any kind since i was around 13. I love them unconditionally, they bring happiness to everyone. I have my own dogs, bigger breeds, and occasionally dogsit for my sister when she’s out of town! this is my full time! so i have plenty of time to make it everywhere i need to be! i make this my top priority day in and day out! my dogs are free roam in the house, trained and well behaved. my cat is also free roam and is well behaved, and likes almost everyone! if your animals are crate trained, that’s fine! your house your rules! i always stick to what the owners prefer, like, etc. for their animal. i never go the route of sticking to my own rules, it’s not my animal, the owner knows best!
About: Dogs are my passion, and puppies definitely have a special place in my heart! Over the years I’ve cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses, cows, goats, and more, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I have years of experience training both dogs and horses, so while your pup is with me, I’ll naturally reinforce good manners, structure, and confidence in a positive way. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adolescent, or a laid-back senior, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I’ve spent many years raising and training German Shepherds, Great Danes, Dobermans, Aussies, and other large, powerful breeds, but I absolutely love small and medium-sized dogs too. My own dogs are well-mannered and social, and I take introductions seriously to ensure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and part of the pack. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel loved, secure, and have so much fun that they adopt me as their new Aunt Ash! 😉 I work my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to put your pets first! I’m able to adjust my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and your pet’s individual routine. I do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine exactly as they know it. I follow your feeding, walking, medication, potty, and household instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while you’re away.
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
About: I love dogs! I have loved them for my whole life and they’ve always been a big part of my life. I enjoy spending time with them and learning their different personalities. I treat every dog like they are my own. I have experience with puppies as young as 7 weeks old, seniors, and small and large breeds. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and can follow feeding schedules, administer basic meds if needed, and provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and love! Whether you’re booking me for drop in visits or a quick walk, your fur baby is in good company. I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be to have a new sitter take care of your pet, so that’s why I’m committed to making their time with me stress-free and fun! I’ll be sure to provide you with photo updates during our time together. As for myself, I have three dogs in my household: a 1-year-old male mini dachshund, Franklin, a 3-year-old female mini golden doodle, Pretzel, and a 4-year-old female mini golden doodle, Margo. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care throughout the week including early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends. Whether your fur baby needs a midday walk or a quick check in during the day, I’m happy to work with you and your babysitter. :) I am not currently taking new boarding clients! I am comfortable with providing personalized care — if you have any special instructions, please share them with me so I can give your fur baby the care they’re used to receiving.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,496 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Matlacha.

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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Matlacha. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
