“Thank god I found you because you made our honeymoon so much more relaxing just knowing our animals are being well cared for. She kept me updated and sent me photos daily. Also took noodles on walks and played with her the whole time (very energetic dog ) I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Emily is great with our boys and they love having her stay! She’s very communicative and we are so appreciative of her! We will continue to be repeat clients of hers!”
“Shyann is a god-send and the way she is with our pets is wonderful! She communicates great and even my husband noted that "wow, she really follows all the instructions to a tee" We love her and recommend her without any reservation! She stays in our home and I trust her completely!!!”
“Absolutely loved Emma! I am so glad she was able to come to the house close to holidays to take care of all my babies! She went above and beyond. She also took a lot of pictures and kept me updated which helped the worries that always come with leaving your loved pets with someone new. Would definitely use Emma again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! My experience includes daily feeding, play, exercise, medication administration, and lots of quality cuddle time. I also love teaching fun basic tricks like sitting, giving a high five or handshake, and spinning/twirling. I work full-time during weekdays, but I offer flexible early morning availability from 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM and evening availability from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. On weekends, I have full, open availability all day long for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I provide all pet care directly in your home where your pets feel most comfortable and secure. I treat every client's home with total respect, maintaining clean spaces, keeping doors and gates secured, following your exact routines, and giving your pets dedicated attention in their familiar environment.
“Charles took great care of my dog! My dog is a lot to handle but Charles was more than capable. He came by for a meet & greet to get familiar with him and I definitely felt comfortable enough to leave to a multiple day festival while he watched my dog. Charles was also very respectful of my apartment and my neighbors who like to hang out with my dog on his walks only had positive things to say. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“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. 🙂”
“Abbie was great! My high energy dog was so tired when we got home from our trip. That is definitely an accomplishment! The updates are plenty & always appreciated! Definitely our go to sitter.”
“David did a great job of caring for our dog while we were on vacation, he was attentive to Casper and frequently sent updates and pictures. I highly recommend him for his excellent services.”
“Highly recommend Ashley! She overnight sat for us for our three dogs for several nights. Ashley is very responsive and looked after our pups like they were her own. When we came home, the house was tidy just how we left it. I appreciated her being flexible with my last minute schedule changes as well!”
“Ela was amazing with my dog! She sent plenty of updates and I knew my dog was well loved and cared for. As someone who travels for work I’ve had many sitters and she is one of the best! Will definitely book her again in the future”
“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!!!”

Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog and animal lover ever since I can remember. Growing up in a farm in Cuba, I have always had a great facility for communicating with animals, and making them not only do things other people could not, but more importantly changing their outlook in life to make them happy. Meet my pets Our home is 2500+ sf with ample dog gates and crates for flexible configurations, so we are able to accommodate furry guests who prefer privacy or selected company. Small dogs are kept separate from bigger dogs, and our dog park/backyard is very secure and fenced in, with 6 foot wood fence all around. Double fence in one area, and cemented rock underneath for those Houdini diggers. We have a well trained pack of dogs that help us rehabilitate and correct dogs with any type of behavioral and psychological imbalances. About my yard We have a beautiful spacious dog park in our back yard. It is all enclosed with 6 foot tall wood fence. We have installed cemented rock underneath the fence so the dogs cannot dig out. The yard is about a third of an acre in space, and has many large trees and shady areas which the dogs love to explore. My experience administering medication We are very comfortable and have much experience administering medication and caring for injured and/or sick animals. There are 2 of us full time. Dogs is what we do. The dogs under our care are our first and last thought of the day. I have a fully enclosed yard to keep the dogs safe. We are professional responsible adults and the dogs are always supervised and never ever left alone in the house. Dogs is what we do! We do it All day; Every Day, 365 days per year. Dogs are our life; we are rescuers, trainers, behaviorists, psychologists, and we are also pet CPR/First Aid certified. We have a fully fenced in yard where the dogs can play. In addition, we are always here to supervise the dog on dog interactions. The dogs are never ever left alone in the house.
“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!”
“Sabrina saved the day for us when the rover we had scheduled cancelled after we were already on the road for our trip. She was already booked but found a solution for us and had her mom help care for our pups. They both did an amazing job and put us at ease! I work from home so my dogs are spoiled with attention and they assured us they would do the same for them! Will definitely book with her again in the future!”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 990 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Fort Myers. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
