“She was great. It was a short notice as our other option feel through and by the looks of it Kylo had a blast… thank you so much…. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Honestly this was the best experience we have ever had with a rover sitter. Alain and his wife are so kind, they live in a beautiful and very clean house with a nice fenced in yard. They sent multiple videos daily showing Tater Tot being loved on. I think Alain played more ball with Tater daily than Tater is used to. Would 100% use them again in a heart beat.”
“Both our dogs Molli and Febe stayed Claudia and her wonderful family for 3 days and they had love and affection by all the family Claudia especially sent texts with photos of their involvement with her younger children as Molli and Febe love little people too If you need a dog sitter Claudia is a wonderful caring dog sitter she will treat your pets as her own she was always willing to give Molli and Febe a belly rub Their Favorite Claudia gets 5***** 5AAAAA 5+++++ Highly recommend for all your precious pets”

“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.”

My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”

“As usual, Khaos had a fantastic time. She caught an upset stomach but Natasha and Gaspere were quick to communicate about it and did everything they could to help soothe it. I’m very grateful that my pup is always in good hands here.”
“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!!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Captiva
“Meltem is a fanstastic dog sitter and took great care of our teenage poodle. He is full of energy but she handled it very professionally. She is a very friendly person and her home is super clean and nice. I would recommend her anytime and we love to use her services in the future”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! From the moment we arrived, our pup ran straight into her home without hesitation or barking at all, which immediately showed us how comfortable and safe she felt there. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Elisa was incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. It’s obvious our puppy had an amazing time and was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Elisa again. I highly recommend trusting your pup with her, you won’t regret it!”
“Our dog received excellent care! We were happy to receive pictures and videos during her first stay, and the communication was very prompt, professional and courteous. We will definitely be bringing her to Alain again!”
“Our pup, Hallie, loved staying with Lauren, Chris, and their dog, Winston. They are very warm and welcoming, not to mention very flexible, responsive, and accommodating. Winston is a sweet, playful dog that Hallie had a great time becoming friends with. We hope they will watch Hallie for us many times in the future and feel very comfortable and confident that she is being well taken care of when we are away from home.”
“I found Michele &Drew to be wonderful mixture of understanding animals enough to initially being careful of how they introduced Maya into their “pack”, and relaxed enough to enjoy and have fun w the pups They were great and sending texts to keep in touch, taking Maya for walks and understanding my dogs quirky behavior I feel fortunate to have met them and hope to continue w many more visits”
“Krista was amazing! When I was dropping Oliver off at her house, he immediately went right to Krista and proceeded to go inside her home like he had known her forever! It made it so easy to leave Oliver, knowing how comfortable he felt. I would definitely recommend Krista and will reach out to her again while staying here in Cape Coral.”
About: I have over 40 years’ experience caring for pets. I've often watched friends and family dogs. As I am now fully retired and recently lost my most precious Dachshund, Nathan(hotdogs) after 16+ years, I’m hoping to help anyone who may need pet care watching their family dogs. I really enjoy watching, walking and playing with pets. See you soon! I'm fully retired and spend most of my time at home. I have plenty of free time and I’ve always enjoyed getting out for a dog walk in the early morning and late afternoon. I'm committed to loving care and safety for my clients' pets. I always enjoy long walks with the energetic fast pace Rovers. I'm always cautious to have them on a proper leash and collar or harness during their walks. I take care not to walk dogs when it's too hot and always keep them off of hot sidewalks and pavement. I also allow plenty of couch and TV time for all dogs especially the less active senior dogs. Tell me your dog's needs and habits and I will do my very best to make them feel right at home.

About: Hello! I'm Nicole, and I'm 29 years old and living in my sunny hometown of Cape Coral with my 3 small fluffy dogs. I recently completed my masters degree at NYU with a thesis focusing on dog socialization. I've had pets since the day I was born - cats, dogs, fish, chickens, horses - you name it. I started before double digits caring for the neighbors pets when their owners were away on trips and still do to this day. I love all creatures that the world has given us, whether a lost neighborhood stray or the turtle on the side of the road (Yes, I am that person to stop and help it to the other side). Now taking my in-person pet sitting service digitally, I have learned to love and take care of pets in all aspects — from keeping them healthy and being by their side when sick or recovering. Everything from giving lots of love, keeping them well fed, being taken care of, and lots of playtime, walks, and especially cuddles — which are my specialty. My senior mini aussie has had double ACL repair surgery, and he was the bestest boy to learn how to care for a pet medically. I hope your pet can be a part of the love fest, too! I'm currently taking care of my parents' estate so I'm home 24/7. All my time is yours! Morning walks, evening walks, medicine schedules, drop-in visits, or socialization - anything your baby needs I can provide. At home, we have a fenced yard with doggy doors with full access to the outdoors. I always supervise their outdoor time since we have a pool. I can crate your dog any time if needed, or let them sleep in bed with me at night if they love that, too.

“Honestly this was the best experience we have ever had with a rover sitter. Alain and his wife are so kind, they live in a beautiful and very clean house with a nice fenced in yard. They sent multiple videos daily showing Tater Tot being loved on. I think Alain played more ball with Tater daily than Tater is used to. Would 100% use them again in a heart beat.”

“Marcia was wonderful! She took good care of Brooklyn and made sure she had what she needed for Brooklyn. She sent lots of pictures so I could see she Brooke was safe, happy, and getting plenty of outdoor time. Thank you Marcia! 😊”
“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.”

“I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”

About: I’m reliable, communicative, and experienced with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. I provide personalized care by following each pet’s routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need extra attention, including those who require medication or support with anxiety. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. I currently work part time from home, with a very flexible schedule. I can have a pet with me all day long or be able to go to a client’s home when needed. I have a fenced yard where they can play around and go outside for potty time. They are welcome anywhere inside my home, wherever they feel safe and comfortable.
“Best sitter I’ve used in Rover! My Zeus and Nova had a great time. Summit was very informative about Zeus’ health. The pictures I received were reassuring they were having fun.”
“We had a wonderful first experience using Rover thanks to Jill. She was incredibly patient and understanding when we asked to meet beforehand, which made us feel confident right from the start. We knew Chauncey would be in great hands—and he absolutely was. Jill took excellent care of him and kept us updated daily with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be requesting Jill again in the future!”
“Kathy (and her granddaughters) were so wonderful to Joey. They gave him lots of love and cuddles during his stay. We got the pictures to prove it! We were extremely comfortable leaving Joey and would not hesitate to do it again.”
“Mike is the best dog sitter we have found! He sent updates with pictures daily without being asked! We have 2 GSP’s and one of them is full of anxiety and very needy. Mike quickly figured her out and won her over where she became attached to him within a day. We have never left her and had her be so receptive to her sitter in five years! It is very clear to me how happy my dogs are with him.”
“If you want your furry babies to be loved when you "have to" go on vacation... this is who you need to contact. Absolutely, the best. We had a quick meet and greet before our scheduled date and they were so accommodating. Both Callie and Maverick were so happy to be in their company. Already planning another vacation so our doggies can go to Laura and Evan's house.”
“Franna & Mark are wonderful! We were very pleased with the care they provided for our dog. Even though he is very anxious and shy, everything was done to make him comfortable, and we found him so happy when we picked him up. We would not hesitate to leave our dogs with them again. We highly recommend them.”
“Harley loved her stay. Lorie was great with everything. Communication was excellent. She sent a pictures and I'm very thankful that she was able to take me at the last minute. I will definitely book with Lorie again and would recommend her.”
