“Terri is an outstanding person, in a job that she’s passionate about! She came over to meet my animals and they we’re immediately in love with her. We were able to leave our dogs and cat with her and they were able to stay at home, and we had peace of mind while we were away. She even kept my plants watered! Her husband, Mike was also at our house some of the time. They are a wonderful couple! I feel like my house even looked better than how I left it. I can’t give a higher recommendation, she’s simply the best!”

About: I've always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them.

I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I'm flexible with schedules and enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's a quick check-in, a daily walk, or overnight care. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority in my week. When caring for pets in my client's home, I do my best to keep them on their usual routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, lots of attention, and any other care instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.

“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. 🙂”

“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.”


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: 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.
“Kaylee was amazing! It was our first time hiring a dog sitter and Kaylee exceeded our expectations. She follows our daily schedule perfectly, very attentive to all 3 of our animals, played with our dogs/kitten every day, always made sure they had fresh water & food, took our dogs on walks often, gave them treats and sent us updates every day! She was easy to get a hold of and communicates very well which was important to us! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our fur babies. She also sent the cutest photos of our animals every day! We will definitely be hiring her for any future trips we have & I recommend you do too! Thank you so much Kaylee, we are so grateful to have found a sitter like you! She will love and care for all your animals the way you do😊”
“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: Caring for dogs and cats has been a hobby of mine for about four years now. I have volunteered at several different humane societies. I have a special place in my heart for dogs and cats! I truly enjoy showing the care and love for animals that they deserve. I am home full time, so I am available at all hours to care for dogs and cats. I am also available on most weekends. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a safe and quiet community where I can provide frequent walks. I am comfortable coming to your home, or housing your pets at my home.

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.

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.
About: I have experience as a surgical veterinary technician as well as experience caring for cats and dogs for 25 years I am proficient in administering medication to canines and felines as well as first aid for both. I am also proficient in caring for small exotic animals such as guinea pigs! I have full availability and can pick up appointments same day! I enjoy connecting with pets and spoiling them! I am a yoga teacher and have a flexible schedule I have two small indoor cats that can be put in a separate room while I care for your pets. I am able to care for multiple animals

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
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.
“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.”

“Velvet was wonderful! Our Bear is an old guy with special needs and medications and Velvet did a great job handling all that he needed. She kept us in the loop on all meals, walks and medications and even sent us photos along the way so we could see how happy he was (maybe too happy without us! LOL). We arrived home to a happy pup and our home safe and sound. We will definitely use Velvet again in the future :)”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.

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.
