About: We love all animals and have many years experience caring for dogs, cats, aquariums, parrots, lizards, guinea pigs and more! We have enjoyed volunteering in a variety of pet settings. We have volunteered at the Animal Refuge Center in North Fort Myers since 2015 and one of our own dogs, Woody, is a registered Pet Therapy Dog with LEE HEALTH and visits patients at Cape Coral Hospital. Woody and I also volunteer with Hope Healthcare in Cape Coral. We would appreciate the opportunity to meet you and discuss your needs. Your pet's health and happiness will be our first priority. We also provide pet taxi services, yard cleanup, plant care and home watch services. Let us know what you need, we're happy to customize our services! Give us a try! We are retired and almost always available and have a lot of time to spend with your pets! At least one of us will always be available to assist you on short notice or in emergency situations. Your pets safety is our first priority. Dogs are always on leash when taken outside and we take great care to watch the doors when we enter and leave. We are there to care for your pets 100% with no distractions.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.
“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.”
“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 ❤️”
“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”
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.
“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.”
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.
About: I’ve raised and trained tons of family members from Pomeranians to English Mastiffs. What sets us apart is when you pull up to drop them off, your friend will be running up to the door out of excitement. You set your rules, and we follow them while we have your family member as a guest. I’ve gotten to a place where I can let my business run itself and my golden needs a friend. It’s too hot outside to bring him out a lot, so I’m bringing his friends to him. We have a fenced yard, separate lanai with a pool. Now, we don’t let our guest pets in the pool unless specifically authorized by you! Luke we said…your rules, our 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 Isles-Matlacha Shores 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
