“Tyler was the first person I used on this app to come walk my dog while I was at work. She took so many pictures while on the walk and gave me a very detailed report on how it went! I’m very happy that she’s the first (and hopefully the only ?) person I chose for this job!”
About: I have taken care of animals since i was 10 years old. I grew in a home with multiple pets and i continue that tradition today. I am a mom to 2 dogs . I am an RN so I typically work three 9 hour shifts at an oncology office in Estero. My schedule is very flexible in terms of day or night care for your pets. I am an animal lover. I will work with any of your pets routines as requested. I will also provide extra hugs and cuddles to make them feel extra special.
“Michelle is sweet, dependable and great with our dog! She really spends the full 30 taking him for a walk and then eventually plays with him for a little bit afterwards before leaving! I know Butch is well taken care of and well loved when Michelle watches him!”
“Heather is so helpful. As someone with anxiety about leaving my dog with someone she was so comforting and supportive! Bethel loves her ! Would book again if I lived in the area!”
About: I have two large-breed dogs, one is a three year old Cane Corso mix and our other girl is almost ten (a Lab mix)! Both are rescues from the south, so I have a lot of experience working with anxious dogs, puppies, and some senior care. I grew up with large black labs, so I've had dogs in my life, for my entire life! I run my own business and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can also take your dog for a longer hike, snifaris, and more! I do not host other dogs in my own home, but I would be sure to have a consultation with the client ahead of any pet sitting to go over routines, expectations, feeding schedule, etc. It's not fair to expect a dog to adjust to your schedule when you are the newbie in their life!

I would like to do what I can to put your mind at ease that your beloved pet is in good hands. I am also very clean and respectful of your property and try to leave your home looking just as good as it was before I got there, if not better.
“Constance was a very reliable dog walker for my dad's dog Lily! She helped out so much while he was recovering from a hospital stay, and we really appreciate all her help.”
About: I’ve loved cats and dogs my whole life, caring for pets since I was a child. For the past two years I’ve worked as a vet tech, combining that lifelong passion with hands-on medical care, and support for pets and their owners. My experience blends deep affection for animals with practical skills in their health and well‑being. I usually work at a vet clinic from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM with a lunch break at 12:00 PM. During my shift I check on the animals, feed and water them, and let them out. After work, I get home, the animals are free for the rest of the night. I prioritize maintaining the specific rhythm and comfort they’re used to at your home. I strictly follow your feeding schedules and medical routines, ensuring they have a dedicated, cozy space to retreat to whenever they need a nap. For dogs, this means plenty of structured walks and backyard playtime, while for cats, I provide vertical perches and dedicated one-on-one enrichment to satisfy their curiosity. Above all, I keep a close eye on their body language to ensure they feel secure and loved, and I’ll send you regular photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun and relaxation they’re having while you're away.
About: Majored in vet tech, I’ve had animals since I was 7 years old. My oldest dog I have is 13 years old and the youngest is two years old. I have a huge heart and passion for animals. I believe animals are angels on earth and deserve to be cared for and loved on. I enjoy taking them on long walks, or just sitting with them and giving them comfort. I am available weekends from 6am-10pm. Weekdays I am available after 5:30 am-10:00am & 9:30pm-10:00pm. This year I will be available for almost every holiday as long as I am notified a head of time, I will accommodate to the best of my ability. I have a huge backyard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company. I have experience in crate training and I will safely crate your fur babies.
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: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!
About: I have 5 years of experience as a pet sitter on rover. Looking to book my calendar. I occasionally work during the week but only 3-4 hours teaching Pilates. I love caring for animals 🤍🤗 I love taking bookings as much as I can. I have had months where I do it everyday. It makes me happy when I stay busy I only do in home stays as of now because I live in an apartment which does not allow animals. Small fully trained animals are an exception
About: I attended veterinary assisting school, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also had the unique opportunity to work with wild animals, which helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior and the patience needed to care for all kinds of pets. I genuinely love animals of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle senior pets, and I’m experienced in giving medications, managing special diets, and providing comforting care. Every pet I care for is treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and respect. I currently work a full time job with pets, but have a pretty set routine and am able to frequently help out other people with their pets! I’m can remain calm in a sticky situation, I’ve helped with dogs up to 200lbs and am not shy when it comes to stepping in to help.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sanibel is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Sanibel. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Sanibel after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanibel. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
