“Samantha and her family were just terrific with my dog Ripple. I could tell he was well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who is looking for an excellent doggie sitter.”
“Randy and Karen took care of my 2 babies! We’ve been looking for reliable people to look after our babies as we have no family in Ft. Myers. They shared pictures with us and our babies looked so happy and comfortable! We feel comfortable with Randy and Karen and will be booking them again!”
“I never give anyone 5 stars, but Karen and her husband are amazing!! Cole had the best time. We received many videos of him playing. He was very well taken care of, and we will definitely be using their services again.”
“Carla is awesome with Sky and keeps us updated on how things are going!! Sky was in great hands to help her through her anxiety of fireworks and thunderstorms while my husband and I were out of town giving us peace of mind. Thank you Carla, we appreciate you!”
“Our go-to couple! Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and safe space for your pup! They send pictures (which always make us smile) and have our dog’s tail wagging when we arrive to their house. He loves it there.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“Alain did a great job with a last minute boarding request on Thanksgiving week. He sent several videos daily of our sweet girl. We really appreciated everything. She came home very happy like she enjoyed her stay. Thank you!”
“Vetra was so good with my dog. She stayed over July 4 and there are a bunch of fireworks which my dog hates and Vetra did her best to comfort Lily. We’ll definitely be using Vetra again.”
“Marcia was insanely wonderful to my boy the three days she cared for him. I have to admit, while he is still young, he came home better behaved after spending time with her. She was very tentative to him and me throughout our trip away and I think they loved each other equally! If I ever need a sitter again, I will definitely be using Marcia!”
“We have a very soft-tempered three (3) year old female German Shepard who has never seen a boarding facility. We have used Rover on 2 other occasions with her, so needless to say, we are "picky and fussy" about who we entrust to care for our dog. We found Natasha and Gaspare on Rover and began a discussion. After a meet and greet, we knew that Timber would be well-cared for. Natasha's communication skills are above-par. She is prompt and very responsive. While we were away, she returned all text messages and sent us updates on Timber's day, with photos included. Natasha and Gaspare have very calm demeanors. They do not get easily excited and that calmness is a great character trait in a Rover sitter! When we picked Timber up, we were supposed to pick her up the morning of December 26th; however, we flew in to Ft. Myers on Christmas Day. We really wanted to get our baby back and while realizing it was Christmas, I thought I would ask if it was at all possible to retrieve Timber early, on Christmas Day evening. She replied immediately that this was no problem at all, and when we picked up the dog, she had Timber's belongings all packed up and ready to go. We went into their home, the dog looked at us, wagged her tail, and then proceeded to run up the stairs to the second level with one of their children. I wasn't expecting that response! That reaction alone told me that the care she had received was outstanding...the dog had had a BLAST!!! As if picking up a dog on Christmas Day wasn't a burden enough, Natasha sent us home with a care package...some treats for Timber, a Christmas ornament with her name and paw print inscribed, and a report card. It seems as though Timber had become what we used to refer to as "the Teacher's Pet"! If Natasha is available to take Timber in the future, I will not even bother to contact anyone else. She has my business secured. A+++. Dave Berry”
“Diana provided very good care of our Aussiedoodle for 13 days. Videos of walks were sent to us while we were out of town, along with Diana's updates. As we were driving to pick up our doggie, we could see him in the driveway (on a leash of course) wagging his tail. He was so happy playing with Diana's teenage son. We are very pleased with Diana's service, and we will definitely use her boarding service when needed in the future.”
“Teresa was wonderful! Our dog was sad to leave her. Teresa was great at communicating with us and sending pictures of our dog on a walk, playing with the other dogs and just chilling. We will definitely use Teresa again. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in the care of Teresa. She was well cared for.”
“Olga is a great provider. Our dog had never been boarded (and he is 2 years old) and she put all my concerns to rest. He did great. I will definitely be using Olga again!”
“Gulcin is great with our puppy cora. We’ve booked her twice and both times Cora came home happy after her stay. Gulcin is very flexible with time and trustworthy. Highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”
“Reggie had a great time staying with Krista! Krista was happy to do a meet & greet before, so I felt comfortable. She kept me updated with daily pictures and was happy to keep him for a few extra hours as my flight was delayed. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Claudia is amazing! She always sends pictures and updates. This is the second time Thor has stayed with her and her family, and we couldn’t be more happy and comforted to leave him with them. Thor is very picky when it comes to eating and she was very accommodating with this, we highly recommend! 😊”
“I would definitely recommend Jerald. We let me older Westin with him for 9 days. I received updates through out the week and my dog was content upon pick up. Will definitely use Jerald again.”
“Emily and Aaron are fantastic people! They really did treat my baby as if he was their own. The pictures I got everyday was just the cutest and you could see how truly happy he was. Their son is so adorable and so gentle with the dogs, he enjoyed playing with Sparky I would definitely recommend this family for dog boarding, I know we will absolutely use them again. Thanks again for loving my little fur baby!!!!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
100% of sitters in Sanibel can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sanibel home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sanibel.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sanibel sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
