“Jennifer was great. She arrived on time and was friendly and interacted very well with Bentley. She followed instructions and we would definitely have her sit with Bentley again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We cannot say enough amazing things about Hallie! She stepped in on short notice to care for our boys, Loki and Maverick, and completely exceeded our expectations. This was the first time we had ever left our six-month-old golden retriever with anyone, and we were honestly very nervous. But from the moment Hallie arrived, she put us at ease. She stayed in our home and was incredibly respectful, clean, and communicative. Hallie kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the weekend, which made such a difference and allowed us to actually enjoy our trip. It was clear the boys had a blast with her—they were happy, well-fed, and kept on their regular routine. Hallie truly went above and beyond, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We are already looking forward to having her back for our next trip. Thank you, Hallie, for treating our pups like your own!”
“Nina arrived a bit early, which was welcome, and came fully equipped! She was kind enough to allow a computer service person in to repair a laptop, who had unexpectedly announced their intention to appear, less than an hour before we were to leave. Our Boys loved her, and she kept us well informed, with pictures and texts. We were about half an hour longer than planned, which Nina accepted with good cheer. We paid her for the extra time, of course. A wonderful experience, and we’ll engage her, again, before we head back “north”. Thanks!”
“Barry was amazing and we will absolutely be booking him again. He came prepared, sent lots of pics and even watched dog tv all day just to amuse our girl. The house was clean, our dog was happy and we could tell she really loved him. He may be pricier but the satisfaction is worth it. 100/10 recommend!!”
“Madison was perfect! Our babies were so happy and well cared for. Madison was great with communication and pictures. It liked like fun was being had by all! I absolutely recommend Madison. She is top notch!”
“Taylor was great watching over our dog Calvin. She sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter, and we hope to use her again in the future.”
About: I am a retired Registered Nurse, my husband Keith and I love dogs and cats. I know what to do if an emergency arises! We treat our pet clients and their home as if it were our own. We cared for many pets in Indiana, and now have decided to join Rover here in Florida. Due to Rover policies I cannot add any new testimonials. However, references from current clients are available upon request. My husband and I are both retired, we can have one of us at your house 24/7 if needed. When we take on an assignment, the pet's welfare and happiness comes first. The house will be in good hands and plant watering, etc. would be done if needed. We simply follow the instructions exactly as the owner requests. If they are allowed on the bed and want to sleep with us, that's what happens. If a pet is not allowed on furniture we of course respect the owner's wishes.
“Eva was excellent - she was great with our high strung pups, kind and flexible for our last-minute requests. We loved working with her and will again if we find ourselves in Naples in need of a sitter.”
“Christine was amazing! On time, flexible, asked the right questions, and Mo loved her! Can’t wait to have Christine back to sit for Mo again! If I could offer more than 5 stars I would! ❤️”
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”
About: I’ve always love animals and have two dogs of my own and I grew up with a few cats. I have experience training and grooming dogs both small and large. I currently work part time as a home stager and have a very flexible schedule. I don’t mind working late nights or early mornings taking care of your animals. I have tons of experience cleaning up after pets and even administering medicines. I love to play and walk my animals and would love to do the same with yours!
About: I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have 5 dogs and 1 cat I care for. I also have experience working as a kennel tech for 2.5 years and still currently employed where I do things like Feed, medicate, walk, bathe, vaccinate, and other services clients may ask for. I take care of 5 dogs and 1 cat at home and at work I care for plenty more dogs and cats. I am constantly running around making sure they are fed, medicated, and fully updated with additional services clients request. With my job in an animal hospital I am experienced in seeing changes in dog’s body language and knowing how best to care for them for the current situation. I have experience caring for everything from small dogs to the biggest dogs.
“Shirley saved the day for us. Our scheduled pet sitter became ill and had to cancel. Shirley saved the day, she was able to accommodate my very last minute request. She did very well with our very energetic 14 month old pups. Would recommend.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs for friends, family, and my own pets — from small, spirited Dachshunds to energetic, playful Labradors. I’ve shared my home with several dogs over the years, including my current rescue, Xuxa. My experience includes daily walks, attentive care to feeding and potty schedules, basic grooming, and reinforcing training routines. I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care for each one. I’m currently taking time off from my career as a nurse and am new to the Fort Myers area as I get settled in. I have very open availability and a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your needs. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to help. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so your pet can get to know me and feel comfortable. This also helps me learn their routine, behaviors, and any do’s and don’ts. If you’re short on time, no problem — I can quickly adapt to their potty, meal, play, and nap schedule. I’ll provide regular updates and keep an honest, detailed activity log during my care.
About: I have cared for animals my entire life. I love them and think they deserve to get the best treatment and care possible. We’re lucky to have the opportunity to care for them. I work from home in Fort Myers. I make my own schedule, so I am very flexible with the hours I can care for your animal. I am able to board, but it depends on the days. I am able to crate a dog, and I have space for a cat as well. If I take care of your animal in your home, I will respect and clean up after myself and your animal. I would treat your home the way I want mine to be treated.
“Dixan was fantastic. She did a wonderful job taking care of my elder dog. It’s always difficult to be away from your fur baby when they require more care and attention so it was a great relief to have someone care for her so well.”
“Beth took extra special care of our nervous poodle when a tropical storm happened to hit while we were gone. She was concerned when our poodle had trouble sleeping and figured out a way to make her more comfortable. Beth was really flexible even though we had to change a couple things about our original plan.”

Juan S.
“I can’t think of anyone more suited to be a pet sitter than Juan S. He is one of the most caring, responsible, and thoughtful people I know. He has taken care of my pets in the past, and I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in his hands. Juan treats animals with genuine love and attention, and it’s clear how naturally pets are drawn to him. He’s not only kind and patient but also incredibly dependable—always sticking to schedules, providing thoughtful updates, and going above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. What truly sets Juan apart is his empathy and sincerity. He puts his heart into everything he does, and that’s exactly the kind of person you want caring for your pets. I wholeheartedly recommend him.”

Alyssa W.
“Alyssa was a rockstar with my high-octane pup, Peanut. This dog has two speeds—full throttle and asleep—and Alyssa kept up with her like a pro. She sent me hilarious updates and pictures of Peanut mid-zoomie, looking like she was having the time of her life. It’s not easy to tire Peanut out, but somehow Alyssa pulled it off. Came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog who’s already waiting at the door for her next hangout with Alyssa.”
Kelli B.
“Kelli was amazing! I boarded my dog with her for two days and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was super sweet and kept me updated with pictures without asking! My pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time, which is all you can ask for while you’re away. You can really tell Kelli loves what she does and treats your dog like one of her own!”
