“Charles did beyond a wonderful job caring for 3 animals. He was timely, did everything we discussed, and our dogs and cat were very happy with him. We got daily updates and photos, and our house looked amazing when we got back. We will definitely be booking him more in the future. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, Charles. Timber, Bear, and Thoomi can’t wait to see you again.”

About: I have been fostering animals for 4–5 years, caring for pets ranging from newborn kittens and puppies to senior animals. I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, subcutaneous fluids, ear cleanings, and more. Animals have been a part of my life since day one, and I have a precious fur baby of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and someone they can feel safe and loved with too. I can’t wait to spend some time with your fur babies! I work full time from Tuesdays to Saturdays however I do dictate my own schedule and I am able to work my schedule out a bit. I usually go into work between 8-10am and leave between 4-6pm. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I believe they are happiest in their own environment surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and comfort. I will come to you, so your pet never has to leave the place they love most. You can trust that your home and your fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and respect. My focus is entirely on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you are away.
“Kashmir is excellent. I can not recommend her enough! She stayed in our home with our pups for 5 nights and always sent pictures and videos to keep us updated. Would 100% use again!”
“Louise was amazing!!! She left our house VERY clean and my dog was well taken care of!!! I also love how she sent tons of pictures and kept updating me daily!!! I will continue to let her watch my dog!!!”
“Madi was fabulous and took such great care of our two dogs. The dogs warmed up to her so quickly and that put us at ease to enjoy our time away. She even went above and beyond and had the home as clean as it was when we left. She sent pics and updates and responded quickly. We hope to have her help again soon!”
“Debra was fabulous! Pepper and Denali were very well taken care of and I have already booked Debra for another trip we need to take. My babies had excellent care and Debra went above and beyond taking care of the house as well.”
“Jordan was amazing! She kept me posted with pictures and text to ensure I knew they were happy and enjoying themselves. We had a recent diagnosis for Miss Coco, and Jordan was so empathetic and put me at ease while I was out of town. Thanks again Jordan!!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and currently have two amazing cats of my own that I care about deeply. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable with different cat personalities — from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and giving cats a calm, stress-free environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I am a recently graduated college student with a flexible schedule. I am available for drop-in feedings/attention regularly throughout the week and the same goes for house-sitting and boarding. My cats, as well as my dogs, are viewed by my family and I as members of our family. We love all of our pets deeply and whenever your pet is with us, they will receive that same affection and attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Fort Myers
She was a absolute gem. Professional, caring and loving to our dog Buddy. She kept in constant contact with us while we were away and returned any text or phone contact we made with her regarding Buddy. We had never used this program before and were very skeptical if the individuals working and reviewed were as accurate as portrayed. Abbie was beyond our expectation and the care she gave our dog was exemplary and receives our highest recommendation for others. Her care for our home for the period was good and we returned with no issues.
Lydia was absolutely incredible, and I can’t recommend her enough! She stayed at our home while caring for our dog, Covey, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions, kept our home spotless, and treated both our dog and our house with so much respect. We came home to a happy pup and a house that looked just as good as when we left. Knowing everything was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our trip without worrying.
Jess was a great sitter! She was on time, very responsive, and sent regular updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy and I felt totally comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and having an amazing time. Would absolutely book again.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Fort Myers
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Fort Myers on Rover is $51.45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 985 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Fort Myers. 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 North Fort Myers 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 North Fort Myers 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 North Fort Myers 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.

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.
