Beth was an excellent caretaker for our pup! Our dog is anxious and often very shy with new folks, but she took to Beth right away. Will definitely book with Beth again in the future! Thanks for taking such great care of our little girl!

She did great with my very energetic dog and was cautious about him overheating because it was especially hot today. Took the best pictures!

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 been surrounded by dogs since age 2. From Boxers and Yellow Labs to Dachshunds and Great Danes. At age 11 I began caring for the other pups around the neiborhood and have loved it ever since. I just graduated college so I will have plenty of time to give your pups the care that they deserve! Without a doubt your pups will be at ease while you are traveling. When I care for others pets I am sure to become well adjusted to their environment and what they are used to so they feel at ease. With plenty of snuggles, playtime or walks outside.

I will clean up any messes the pets may have left in your absence :)

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!

About: I have taken care of/walked dogs since I was 7. I’ve grown up with dogs and have never lived without one in my home. Many neighbors and friends trust me with their pets to either walk or care for them from either a day at a time or weeks. I am a morning person for morning walks before I go to trade school and right after school I am eager to play and care for your pet! I am honest about my availabilities and will work with you to make sure all four legged babies are taken care of! I am more than happy to play with any pet to ensure he/she is happy and healthy while I care for them. If you have special requests, I can make it a priority to fulfill them.

About: Hi there! I’m 27 years old and have spent the last 12 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have two dogs of my own, so I fully understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with: Daily walks and exercise routines In‑home sitting and overnight stays Drop‑ins for feeding, playtime, and check‑ins Puppies, seniors, and pets with special instructions Administering basic medications and following detailed care plans Whether your pet needs a long walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just a quick check‑in, my goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable experience every time. I work full‑time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pet care. I’m available every morning before 8am, mid‑day during my lunch break, and in the evenings and nights. I’m also available 7 days a week, so whether you need early walks, drop‑ins, or evening/overnight care, I can reliably fit your pet into my routine. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all of their normal schedules, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime habits, so everything feels consistent for them. I treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, washing bowls, tidying up after pets, and following any house rules you set. I give each pet plenty of attention based on their personality—whether that means playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship—and I’m comfortable handling special instructions like medications, senior care, puppy routines, or specific behavioral needs. I also send regular updates, photos, and quick check‑ins so you always know how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, I maintain their nighttime routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for the entire time.

About: Your Pets are Part of My Family! With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, from frolicking puppies to dignified seniors, I've devoted my life to ensuring the health, happiness, and safety of pets. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently relied on my expertise to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving companionship for their furry loved ones. My unique skill set includes puppy training, senior care, and a special knack for easing anxious pets. With me, your pet isn't just another job - they're part of my family! Pet care is more than just a routine for me, it's a lifestyle. My day begins with a morning walk, setting a peaceful tone for both me and the pets in my care. Throughout the day, scheduled feedings, play times, and additional walks or outings are neatly integrated into my other daily activities, ensuring that no pet feels neglected or under-stimulated. I balance my personal commitments in a way that always allows ample time for the pets under my supervision. Weekly routines involve deeper engagements like grooming sessions, visits to the park, or more extensive exercises for pets that require it. Weekends often feature special activities, like hiking or beach visits, bringing a sense of adventure and extra enjoyment for the pets. In essence, pet care has become an inseparable aspect of my life's rhythm, creating a harmonious blend of responsibility, commitment, and above all, the immense joy of bonding with animals Whether in my home or my client's, I uphold the highest standards of care and attention for every pet under my supervision. For pets visiting my home, I ensure their comfort and safety first. I maintain a clean, pet-proof space, with various designated areas for eating, playing, and resting. Playtime and walks are plentiful, and I respect the dietary routines and restrictions provided by pet owners. I make sure each pet receives one-on-one attention, keeping a keen eye on their mood and health. In a client's home, I respect the pet's routine and the owner's space. I follow instructions for feeding, walking, and medications precisely, ensuring pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Extra services like bringing in mail or watering plants can also be arranged. I prioritize cleanliness and leave the home exactly as I found it. For both cases, I stay in frequent communication with the pet owners, providing updates and cute photos to keep them connected with their furry friends. The well-being and happiness of pets and their owners are my top priority

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I am a dog mom to an adorable Aussie! I’ve raised and trained two puppies (my own dog and a golden retriever puppy). I absolutely love puppies and providing them with a routine. You can rest assured your pup will be in a good home! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or dogs with special needs so please keep this in mind! I make pets priority. I will take your dog for a long walk in the neighborhood. We can play in the backyard as well. If you prefer, I can take them to the beach as well! Just say the word! I live on Sanibel Island. I am happy to walk your dog in the neighborhood, play in the yard or pool, or even go for a beach walk! Your dog will get plenty of exercise and potty breaks!

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!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have a dog named Cash and a cat named Teddy. I also previously cared for an English Mastiff, so I’m comfortable with both large and small animals. Being a huge animal lover, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering lots of attention and affection, and keeping pets calm and happy in their routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always keep owners updated for peace of mind. 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. My routine includes morning walks around 8 AM, feeding, and usually time outside for exercise, whether that’s a walk or a trip to the dog park. I’m very hands-on with animals and make sure they get both structure and plenty of affection. I also have my own pup, so I’m experienced with daily care, routines, and keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable in a home environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I keep doors and gates secured, watch pets closely during play, and follow their routines exactly as you describe to help them feel safe. I’m experienced with puppies, cats, and multi-pet homes, so I’m always careful with feeding times, introductions, and energy levels. I give constant supervision, lots of reassurance, and make sure every pet has their own comfortable space to relax. You can expect clear communication and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

About: Hi! My name is Paige, and I’m 24 years old. I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in forensic studies with the goal of becoming a crime scene investigator. 🕵️ I currently work two jobs and now a third to look for a little extra income to save for my new home. My love for animals began when I was a child and has only grown over the years. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and even lizards! Because of that, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience providing overnight dog-sitting services for families through other pet-care apps. This has allowed me to work with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines while giving pet parents peace of mind when they’re away from home. I also have two furry companions of my own—a Mini Dapple Dachshund named Bennett and a sweet cat named Ruby. 🥰 They mean the world to me, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I would love the opportunity to provide them with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own! 🐾❤️ I work part time and I’m in college. I can find time between classes and work to take care of your pet. I can also stay additional nights or days as well. I can assure you that your pet will be loved and taken care of! I can provide dog toys if given permission and I will always make sure your pet is happy.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sanibel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Sanibel on Rover is $24.98 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,664 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sanibel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 your Sanibel. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sanibel.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
