“Anna is the kindest person I ever met. She truly loves animals. We’ve never left our dog in eight years with anybody and my husband was so comfortable leaving our dog Skye with Anna for the weekend. She sent us lovely pictures of her just relaxing and she looks so content being with Anna. I highly highly recommend her if you’re leaving your little fur baby she spent the whole four days at my house with her and she was wonderful.”
“Jill is the best!! She stayed at our house to watch over our large golden retriever, and took such great care of him and the house while we were away. We will definitely rebook with Jill!!”

Additionally, I have sat for several breeds of dogs, inclusive of senior dogs; one who lived to be 17 years old. I have also cared for a a few cats as well, both mid-age and senior cats. With regards to the cats, the care provided was minimal maintenance, along with simply being present with the cats. Additionally I have spent time with dogs whom seem to be anxious and needed a patient individual. I enjoy going for walks and will also enjoy walking with your little furry family member as well.

“This is the first time I have used Victor. He did an amazing job! I received all kinds of updates and pictures! My pups were definitely cared for and loved. I would definitely use Victor again!”
“Amber was amazing with my 11 year old Shi Tzu mix fur baby! She is prompt, kind and very good with animals - my little discerning guy immediately loved her!!! Lots of picture during the day and in constant communication - will definitely use Amber again!!!!!! 🐾❤️”
“Danielle was a true lifesaver for us as she was able to watch our dog Zella at the last minute when another sitter (booked thru Rover) did not show up after we had already left town. More amazing was that she was able to watch her for the entire 3 weeks especially thru the holidays and we are forever grateful to her for the care she gave Zella. She sent us daily updates and photos throughout and gave us tremendous peace of mind the entire time. We highly recommend Danielle to others and will definitely use her in the future without hesitation. She is truly awesome!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, everything from large breeds to pugs, and now French Bulldogs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, with a strong focus on medical and special-needs care. For over a year, I helped care for my Frenchie, Lupe, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. This involved close monitoring, medication management, and adjusting daily routines as her needs changed. I’ve also rescued and rehabilitated Huggies, a Frenchie who was unable to use her back legs, supporting her mobility, comfort, and confidence throughout her recovery. I’m patient, attentive, and very intentional about following care instructions—especially for dogs who need extra support. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog like family. Pet care is a priority in my routine. I’m available for multiple drop-in visits throughout the day, and after 6pm on weekdays I can stay for longer periods to make sure your pets have company, get walked, and feel settled. I’m also available for extended care on weekends. I’m especially attentive to maintaining consistent routines for pets who need extra support, including those with medical needs, and I provide thoughtful updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Because I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, I prefer to provide care in my client’s home. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I’m very mindful of safety and comfort in each home, following care instructions closely, keeping pets secure, monitoring for any changes in behavior, and making sure their space is clean and calm. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“Kelsey took great care of all my three dogs. She walked them every morning for an hour to give them exercise they used to with me. She brushed my standard poodle every day and she followed all the instructions I gave her. When I returned home all my pups looked happy. Thank you Kelsey! I surely would use her services again.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life! From dogs, cats and reptiles. I often help friends and family watch their pets, including walking, feeding, bathing, etc!

My pets have a fenced yard, along with cooked meals and daily walks. For my reptiles, I always make sure they’re fed, bathed and always have water and the correct heating lamps.
“Mollie was fantastic with our Jack Russell Rocco. We reached out and she quickly replied, set up a time to talk before and she was super friendly and accommodating. It was clear she knew the area well and loved dogs! She has some of her own and she is clearly a dog person- she was on time day of and Rocco immediately took to her. She sent pics and a video while we were out. We felt really comfortable with her and knowing Rocco with someone he liked. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend Mollie!”

“We were hesitant at first for ANYONE to watch our girls since this was our first time using Rover. When we did a meet and greet, we wanted the girls to trust the person they would be seeing for a few days. We had our doggy cam and we saw how happy they would be with Elena at times playing and getting hugs. The pictures proved they enjoyed her presence and were being taken care of. We were happy with the effort and care she gave for our girls as a doggy lover and would book Elena again for future trips again.”
“David house sat our 120 lb. German Shepherd for a week. During that week, we got daily updates with pictures of Max playing in the back yard. The house was clean and Max was in great upon arriving home. I have already inquired about future dog / house sitting this summer. I would not hesitate calling David and asking him to house sit Max.”
About: I have owned 5 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 40 years and provide service in Naples, FL, Marco Island and Bonita Springs. I am available most days in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pelican Bay
Debbie was wonderful. They seemed to get along great. I felt a bit uneasy at first because this was the first time I had left Oliver with a sitter in our house. I am so glad I did. Oliver was relaxed and happy when I got home - and Debbie left me a nice neat clean house! perfect!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to love on both our pups while we were away. He was very communicative and it was clear the dogs were loved on and well cared for. He took them on lots of walks and made sure they didn’t over do it in the hot weather. One of our dogs also needed meds and he had zero issues with it. He also went the extra mile and cleaned our home and after himself. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we will 1000% be booking with him in the future!
I can’t say enough great things about Kaitlin! From the very beginning, her communication was amazing…she kept me updated regularly and sent the sweetest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs absolutely adored her, which says everything. It’s clear she genuinely cares and takes the time to make pets feel comfortable and loved. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my dogs, and I will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!
Angie stayed in our home for 4 nights with out kitty, Feste. On our return, he noted the following: “Angie was very well intended. She immediately smothered me with hugs and pets. I did my best to be patient with her and even purred to make her feel welcomed. But then she wanted to play. Figuring she was lonely, I chased and jumped until I had to pretend I was exhausted. Then there were more pets. Lots of food and treats. Did I mention the pictures? She was relentless. I finally tired her out. So that’s what happened except when she left I missed her. Now that I’ve trained her, I’d love to have her back—any time.’ Feste. We, of course, agree.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Pelican Bay 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 Pelican Bay 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 Pelican Bay 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
