“Terri did an amazing job with our dog Max. She sent pictures and updates frequently and we could tell Max was so well taken care of during our vacation. Her staying at our place was so much better then having our pup boarded. It was less stressful for the both of us. Would highly recommend!”

“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”
“We adored Phoebe! We had a last minute trip that we were fortunate enough to meet and book Phoebe! She adored our pets and text us regularly to give updates and send pics.Her communication exceeded our expectations! It’s so great knowing when you are away that someone is loving on your fur babies as much as you do. We already plan on booking Phoebe for our next trip!”

About: Animals have been my biggest passion for as long as I can remember! I’ve raised dogs my entire life and started pet sitting when I was just 12 years old. Because of this, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and know how to connect with all personalities, from the shyest companions to the highest-energy breeds. I love big dogs and have the patience and stamina they need. In fact, I recently fostered a 3-month-old English Lab puppy from a bad situation, raising him until he was 9 months old while handling all his potty training and basic obedience. I offer a structured, safe, and incredibly loving space where your best friend can thrive. Since pet sitting is my full time job, my calendar revolves entirely around your pet’s needs. I don't juggle outside work or office hours, which means I am available 24/7 to provide continuous, high quality care. Whether your pet needs a high energy play partner during the day or an attentive overnight guardian, I am always on hand. You can travel stress-free knowing your best friend has my full, undivided attention around the clock When your pet stays with me, you can leave the heavy lifting at home. My space is fully stocked with an abundance of premium pet supplies to help them thrive, including multiple fresh water fountains, a secure dog kennel, and a variety of leashes and harnesses. To ensure every guest feels safe, I have a dedicated, quiet room specifically for shy or anxious pets, alongside a separate, designated cat room. Your pet’s comfort is completely built into my home layout.If I am caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the highest level of respect. I strictly follow the customized care plan you provide to keep your pet’s routine perfectly intact. I treat your home as a sanctuary, ensuring it is left in immaculate condition always better than how I found it.
About: I grew up with pets my whole life I my siblings parents always had pets so I helped take care of them 6 years ago I got my own dog and have been taking care of him since. I also had to take care of my sisters cat about 2 years ago and she was the best. I love animals and I will take care of any pet as if they were my own. My schedule is always free so I can take care of pets anytime anyday I’m always available to love and care for a pet everyday. I care for pets by showing them love and affection and feeding them and walking or letting them out in my yard for some air I will play with them they will always have my attention all the time while I am taking care of them because I love animals so much.
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”


About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. Both dogs and cats. I am also very well versed in training dogs. Training my dog is one of the best parts of my day. I spend a good amount of time training my dog. Teaching my dog new things is one of the best parts of my day. I love working with my dog. I follow the instructions that are given to me. I am a rule follower and what steps are given to me are the ones I take.

About: I’m currently a pet mom of 2 awesome pups and also have multiple grand pups and cats! I grew up on a farm raising every kind of animal imaginable and have continued my love for all animals throughout my adult life. One of my current pups is deaf so I have experience with special needs and my daughter works at the local vet which offers me extra perks as well. I absolutely love all animals (probably more than humans😜) and will take care of your babies like they are my own! I am self-employed and work from home so my schedule is super flexible. I can stay at your home for overnights or simply come visit your babies every couple of hours for walks, feeding and playtime. Depending on your pet (dog only), I can also bring them to my home for playtime with my pups. I am super attentive (maybe too attentive!) and very cautious when dealing with any animal. I understand they are your babies and safety is number one! If we visit my home, my dogs are super friendly sandbar dogs and I have a fenced yard for everyone to play.
“Kaylee was amazing taking care of our Napoleon while we went out of town. She was super patient with our teething puppy and gave lots of love and fun to Napo. Definitely recommend Kaylee to any pet parents out there 😊”


About: Hey! So, what really sets me apart as a sitter is that I’m super attentive and caring, whether it’s training puppies or giving extra love to senior pets. I’m great at understanding their unique needs and making sure they feel comfy and happy. Plus, I’m always ready to handle any special care they might need! Pet care is something I make a priority in my daily and weekly routine. I set aside specific times for feeding, exercise, play, and any training or special care needed. Consistency is key, so I keep a schedule that fits the pet's individual needs, whether it's a lively puppy needing lots of energy outlets or a senior pet requiring gentle attention and medication. This way, I ensure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for every day. What’s your pet’s routine like? When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I stick to their usual feeding and exercise routines, provide plenty of playtime, and give lots of attention to keep them happy. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to maintain consistency for the pet. I also make sure to respect the home’s rules and keep everything tidy. Whether it’s at my place or theirs, my goal is to make the pet feel loved and secure.
“I highly recommend Jordan. She sat my dog at my house which was less stressful for Kody. Jordan helped him stary calm during thunderstorms. She also took Kody for rides in her car and walks in new areas. Kody was comfortable with Jordan as his sitter.”

“Nichole is friendly and communicated good from the time I inquired for her service in such a ahort notice. My babies seemed to be comfortable and adapted fairly well with her. I liked the updates and photos sent. I especially like the fact that she is a vet tech and has a background on how to take good care of my four-legged babies.”


About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a kid, but dogs were always my forte. I’ve also been volunteering at my local SPCA shelter for added experience and love working with all the dogs. I also have experience working at a kennel and caring for the dogs. I am currently working overnight shifts so I will have ample time to spend time with your dogs during the day! I am available everyday and am very flexible and can accommodate most, if not all, requests:) I currently live in a complex that has plenty of outdoor space and fields for your dog to get an abundance of walks, playtime, and exercise
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and can say I’m an avid animal lover! My parents always counted on me to help out with our family pets. I adopted my own pup in 2020 and he taught me so much more about caring for animals and how to be the best friend a dog could ask for :) I love to take long walks and snuggle with furry friends and I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I currently have a very open schedule for walks, drop ins, and overnight stays during the weekends! I work in my office during the work week, so I am unavailable for weekday drop ins and walks during working hours, but am more than happy to help out with pets during the evenings on the work week. Also able to spend the night for caretaking if your pet is good with other dogs (would need to bring my dog with me for a sleepover) I regularly take my own dog on hour long walks most days of the week so am more than happy to take long walks for energetic pups! I love to play with dogs, tossing balls, playing tug of war, or just running around together. I know with my own dog that exercise is so important, so it will be top priority for me when taking care of your pet.

About: I’ve grown up around pets and have plenty of hands on experience caring for them. My family has 3 dogs and a couple of cats, and I’ve also dog sat and cat sat for other families. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible, as most of my classes are online and I only work a part time job. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I make sure to follow their routines, pay close attention to their needs, and provide a calm and loving environment. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel happy and comfortable while they are in my care.
About: I've taken care of pets most of my life. I am starting to gain expert/professional experience. I absolutely appreciate and love time spent with animals of all sorts I have plenty of time and an open schedule. As I am new to Rover, I am excited to start this journey. I look forward to serving your family! I have a fenced in yard. I can crate your pet. I will spoil your furr baby; as long as you're happy with doing so.

“We just finished an overseas trip and were gone for two and a half weeks. Our Mini Golden Doodle “Lily” is 3 years old and we are very attached to her and we were concerned about leaving her anywhere for that long. After considering all types of care we decided our best option was to have someone move into our home with Lily while we were away. Debbie came and stayed days and nights for the duration, taking excellent care of Lily for us. Debbie is a mature professional who is able to work from home, so she is ideal for extended absences or any other dog care that requires flexibility.We highly recommend her!”

Yani was a great care taker for my 11 year old golden retriever and cat. She was gentle, kind, and loving to my dog who needed extra care. She went above and beyond to help and comfort him while we were out of town. I would not hesitate to recommend her and have her care for my pets again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Matlacha Isles-Matlacha Shores on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 932 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Matlacha Isles-Matlacha Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Matlacha Isles-Matlacha Shores walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Matlacha Isles-Matlacha Shores maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Matlacha Isles-Matlacha Shores choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
