“Olga was absolutely wonderful with Ruth and very accommodating to my unpredictable schedule at times. Ruth was newly adopted and had a couple issues, so I wanted to make her transition to her new life as easy as possible. Every time I picked her up, she was very happy and seemed to be coming out of her shell. I’m so grateful I found Olga on Rover and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Our pup, Hallie, loved staying with Lauren, Chris, and their dog, Winston. They are very warm and welcoming, not to mention very flexible, responsive, and accommodating. Winston is a sweet, playful dog that Hallie had a great time becoming friends with. We hope they will watch Hallie for us many times in the future and feel very comfortable and confident that she is being well taken care of when we are away from home.”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! From the moment we arrived, our pup ran straight into her home without hesitation or barking at all, which immediately showed us how comfortable and safe she felt there. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Elisa was incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. It’s obvious our puppy had an amazing time and was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Elisa again. I highly recommend trusting your pup with her, you won’t regret it!”
“Dug and Maggie had an amazing time today at daycare with Pamela. They look forward to see her every time and jump out the car toward her house as soon as I open the door. They love her ❤️”
“Mike is awesome. Loved that he took the time to understand our dog during the meet and greet. His home is in a quiet and peaceful location. Our dog is technically still a puppy, so with Mike also being a professional trainer (and fellow American Lab owner) that's a bonus! We appreciate his honest feedback on tips and corrections we can do as owners to continue to train Chaco to be a good canine citizen. Not only is he a bad a$$ former federal police K-9 trainer, but a really nice guy. We are wintering in Florida and wanted to feel comfortable with who we entrusted the care of Chaco. We unequivocally recommend Mike.”
“Our dog received excellent care! We were happy to receive pictures and videos during her first stay, and the communication was very prompt, professional and courteous. We will definitely be bringing her to Alain again!”
“Krista was amazing! When I was dropping Oliver off at her house, he immediately went right to Krista and proceeded to go inside her home like he had known her forever! It made it so easy to leave Oliver, knowing how comfortable he felt. I would definitely recommend Krista and will reach out to her again while staying here in Cape Coral.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, stay-at-home mom and animal lover who will treat your dog like part of the family. Because I’m home throughout most of the day, your pup will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. Dogs are rarely left alone, and I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleeping routines. I have a sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu and two animal-loving boys, ages 10 and 13, who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them gently and respectfully. All interactions are supervised, and your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I also provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a homeschool family, we’re home often and able to provide lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day in a calm, cozy environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. We have a private backyard for potty breaks and outdoor time, but because the yard is not fenced, all dogs are kept safely on a leash or lead at all times while outside. Pets are always supervised during outdoor time, and I take extra care to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. I’m also happy to follow any specific safety instructions, routines, or preferences you have for your pet. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pet feels right at home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for friends and family from a young age and have always had a genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I truly believe they’re part of the family. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m currently fully available and looking to make pet care a full-time commitment. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to provide plenty of time, attention, and care to dogs staying in my home. I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate different routines and schedules to make sure each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a nice, spacious fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of outdoor time. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with no children or other animals, so your dog can get lots of attention and feel comfortable in a calm environment where they’re treated as my own🤍
“Maui had a great time playing all day. I had to be away and felt very comfortable leaving her for the day with Claudia. I received pictures of her playing as well as her doing naughty puppy things ?. Highly recommended.”
“Meltem is a fanstastic dog sitter and took great care of our teenage poodle. He is full of energy but she handled it very professionally. She is a very friendly person and her home is super clean and nice. I would recommend her anytime and we love to use her services in the future”
“Diana was very accommodating and friendly. She listened to my needs and communicated throughout the day. She knew I was worried about to my fur babies so she always let me know how they were doing.”
“Jill graciously hosted our dog for a long day when we had a last-minute opportunity to be away. She has such a calm demeanor and was quickly able to help our lively pup connect with the other 2 dogs in her care.”
About: I have over 40 years’ experience caring for pets. I've often watched friends and family dogs. As I am now fully retired and recently lost my most precious Dachshund, Nathan(hotdogs) after 16+ years, I’m hoping to help anyone who may need pet care watching their family dogs. I really enjoy watching, walking and playing with pets. See you soon! I'm fully retired and spend most of my time at home. I have plenty of free time and I’ve always enjoyed getting out for a dog walk in the early morning and late afternoon. I'm committed to loving care and safety for my clients' pets. I always enjoy long walks with the energetic fast pace Rovers. I'm always cautious to have them on a proper leash and collar or harness during their walks. I take care not to walk dogs when it's too hot and always keep them off of hot sidewalks and pavement. I also allow plenty of couch and TV time for all dogs especially the less active senior dogs. Tell me your dog's needs and habits and I will do my very best to make them feel right at home.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I’ve raised puppies and taken care of senior pets. Unfortunately I do not have any pets right now, I lost our senior dog a little over a year ago and my heart is still recovering.. My goal with my own animals and with my guests is to provide a safe, balanced, and fulfilling place for them to come and have some fun! They will be exercised, basic training (sit, stay, loose leash walking) will be worked on and lots of love! I understand that your animals mental health is just as important as their physical so I strive to make it a well rounded experience for your special pet! I am currently self employed and have a lot of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. I homeschool my 2 daughters (8 & 9 years old), who are very knowledgeable in animals and the handling and care of pets. I am an animal person through and through and I love when I have new friends around to play with and learn from!! The flexibility in my schedule gives me the ability to be able to do “field trips” with the doggies several times a week which is great for our puppy friends that need as much exposure to new things as possible ( 100 things in 100 days!)!! I understand how unnerving it can be leaving your dog or cat with a stranger while you’re away, I used to feel the same way which is what made me want to help others have a safe spot for their animals, free of doubt and worry. Each animal gets one on one attention and there is someone with them at all times. I want your pet to feel like they are at their second home when they are with me and want you to feel confident that they are well taken care of and loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 546 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Matlacha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Matlacha commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 546 sitters in Matlacha, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
