“Samantha was wonderful with Bailey! She sent great pictures everyday which made me very happy. Bailey spent time with her kids and seemed to be well adjusted and extremely well cared for. I would highly recommend and will definitely book here again.”
“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“Sandra saved me this week by taking care of Belle, and even picking her up and dropping her off. Belle got to play with other pups and seems very happy ? Thank you Sandra!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our two small dogs than what Randal and Karen provided. From start to finish, they treated our pups like family, giving them all the love and attention they’re used to at home. We truly appreciated the constant updates and adorable photos—they made it so much easier to be away, knowing our dogs were in such great hands. It was clear they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. We’ll absolutely be booking with Randal and Karen again!!”
“Our beagle puppy enjoyed his stay with Natasha and Gaspare. Natasha sent daily pictures letting us know know how our puppy was doing each day. Natasha walked Buddy daily and he also enjoyed outdoor play time in their fenced in back yard. When I picked up Buddy, Natasha sent home a gift bag of treats as well as a report card. We will be sure to use their services again!”
“Lori allowed me to book on the same day, the day before thanksgiving, after i had determined my original boarding option would not be a good fit for my dog! she accommodated all of his needs, which werent many, but still, she asked all the right questions for my pup making sure she was well prepared for him staying. A very nice person who i absolutely leave my dog with again. 10/5 stars if i could. I am extremely thankful for Lori and this day of giving Thanks!”
“Karen was just great! She sent photos and kept us updated. I could tell that Opal loved being there. I definitely recommend Karen, and we hope to book with her next time we go on vacation! Thank you so much!”
“I’m so grateful to have found her! She watched our dog while my daughter was undergoing a biopsy, and I can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave us during such a stressful time. She did an excellent job—our dog felt comfortable, well-cared for, and clearly enjoyed her company. It’s not always easy for our pup to warm up to someone new, but she took to her right away. We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a loving and reliable pet sitter.”
“Erika (and her daughter!) were absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Covey. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was so clear that they both genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. They treated him like family — playful, loving, and attentive to all his little quirks. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’d trust Erika and her daughter with Covey anytime and can’t recommend them enough! 💛🐶”
“Our dog & cat LOVED their stay of 5 days with Alain and his family! Really enjoyed getting updates and videos throughout their stay. They came home happy and relaxed, unlike our past experiences boarding at kennels in the past. Hoping to have them stay whenever we need to board them. Big thumbs up!!”
“I can’t thank Thomas & Lyndsay enough for taking such wonderful care of my pet Maluma. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving hands. They kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that Maluma was happy, relaxed, and having a great time.I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters. I’ll definitely reach out to them again next time I’m away.”
“Amazing! I think Smokey didn't want to come home with me, LOL. Vetra is such a blessing for our disabled cat who hasn't been boarded before. During the meet & greet, Smokey was comfortable with Vetra & her place right away. I knew that the medical background of Vetra would come in handy: the compassion, expertise in handling medication, caring personality, pleasant personality, excellent communication skills. She's an asset to Rover. Will definitely work with her again & recommend to friends.”
“Natasha was amazing! She gave us updates everyday and sent pictures as well. Lulu was so happy in all the pictures. When we picked Lulu up she was trying to take Natasha home with us; making sure she was following us to the car. I will definitely be rebooking with her and everyone should leave their fur babies with her. She is so loving and caring.”
“Meltem was great with our 2 dogs. Her communication/pictures she sent of our boys while we were out of town was very reassuring and made us feel comfortable. 10/10 would recommend her again!”
“Krista was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the start, she was incredibly sweet and kept us completely at ease with frequent photo updates and check-ins whenever it was time for meals or walks. Her home is spotless, and the fenced-in yard provided the perfect environment for play and exercise. It was clear they were a perfect match—Krista had nothing but great things to say about Kali, which made us feel so comfortable leaving her in her care. To top it off, she was incredibly accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute; she didn't hesitate to let our dog stay an extra night when we realized we wouldn't make the original pickup time. We will definitely be booking with Krista again!”
“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.”
“Cynthia and her family did an amazing job watching AK during our long weekend trip. Cynthia sent daily updates, videos, and photos during AK's stay in their home. Cynthia took the time to ask all important questions to ensure AK was well cared for and adjusted to her know in a comfortable manner. Cynthia was kind to adjust the stay and allow AK to stay another night due to delay in travel plans. When arriving home after picking up AK Cynthia included a sweet picture of AK during his stay in her home. We will definitely be using Cynthia and her family's services again.”
“We are so pleased with the care provided to our puppy! Very responsive, flexible, and caring towards our little girl. We will certainly have them care for Ally again.”
“Left both of my dogs with Olga for a week while out of town. I'm always nervous to leave my dogs being that they're like family but Olga genuinely made me feel comfortable with leaving them from the start. She supplied tons of pictures, was incredibly kind and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my pets with Olga again.”

“Laura did a great job with my two cats, stopping by twice/day. My friendly cat really took to her and she provided lots of love and pets for him. My other cat urinates outside the litter box if there is any excrement in there and also when she is stressed out bc of me leaving. But no urinating while I was gone for three days!! Everything is clean and just as I left it. Thanks Laura!!”
About: As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide dependable care and give pets the attention they deserve. I’ve cared for dogs & cats for many years and am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and following each pet’s routine. I enjoy getting to know every dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me a very flexible daytime schedule, allowing me to offer morning, midday, afternoon, and early evening visits. I’m often available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, drop-in visits, and recurring care. I can also accommodate many last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and consistent, and I always provide photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
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.
“Kat was absolutely amazing with our 3 kitties! She sent lots of photos and provided extremely detailed notes at every visit. I felt so comfortable knowing Kat would be coming over twice a day to take care of them. She gave medicine to one of our cats as well. We can't wait to have her catsit again!”
About: I am so loving! I have dog sat for puppies before. I have potty trained two at a time. I have a cat and have sat for 2 cats in the past. I’ll take real good care of your animals!

About: For six years, my life has been shaped by the energy, intelligence, and affection of my Bengal cat, a breed descended in part from the Asian leopard cat and known for its striking coat and active personality. Bengal cat What began as the simple responsibility of caring for a pet quickly became one of the most rewarding relationships I have ever experienced. When I first brought my Bengal home, I quickly learned that this was not an ordinary cat. Bengals are curious, athletic, and constantly looking for stimulation. From climbing furniture to investigating every corner of the house, my cat turned everyday life into an adventure. I realized early on that caring for a Bengal meant more than providing food and water—it meant creating an environment where intelligence and energy could thrive.
“We have used Jennifer a few times now for our kitties and she always does an excellent job. This past visit was during hurricane Ian which she was affected by. However, she still came and took great care of my cats while we were away. She even emptied our fridge since the power was lost and tidied some of the debris outside our home. She goes above and beyond not only for our pets, but for us as well! Thank you, Jennifer!”
“Rebecca was great! Super communicative, flexible and took great care of my cat who needed oral medication twice a day and sent great pictures of him. She was very considerate about everything and proactive. Would definitely trust her to watch our cat again!”
About: I have a hyper and amazing cat named Billie. I got her from the Naples humane society. I fell in love with her the moment I got her and gradually started falling in love with other animals as well :) I am working one part time job currently and would love another part-time in something I love. I am passionate about animals and providing them the best care. I adjust to their needs and ensure they are comfortable with me and new environment if needed. I would love to adapt to their schedule.
“My cat is very shy and warmed up to Emma within the first day. I’ve hired her twice for Rover services and each time went perfectly without any problems. She gives updates every visit along with pictures. I definitely recommend her and would give 6 stars if possible!”
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. During the week I have sports and school but weekends are reserved to make sure the care of your pet(s) is received properly and carefully 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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Iona
“Erika was the best! This was Coppers first doggy daycare and he loved it ! She paid attention to him, gave him walks, and he enjoyed playing with her dog as well. She communicated with me throughout the day, which made me feel at ease since we are not from this area. I highly recommend Erika and I will use her every time we are back here.”
“Tara is a very experienced doggy mommy. I’m learning a lot from her and she really pays attention to each dogs personality and cares for them in manner that makes them comfortable and happy . We will definitely use her again . Nice safe house with plenty of room for dogs to roam in the heart of the home where they are easily supervised .”
About: Hello, My name is Sanaa ( you can call me Sunny). I’m 40 years old and I’ve been passionate about dogs since I was a child.I’m very patient and kind. I go for training ( according to your recommendations), games, cuddles and a lot of activities inside and outside the house. I can watch your pet for a few hours or several days. I‘ve lived in the US for 6 years and joined Rover after my last dog passed away , I have owned dogs my entire life and was an active foster in my native country. My husband also loves dogs, but we cannot adopt one at the moment so playing with your fur baby is the next best thing!!

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for 10–15 years to care for their pets in both short- and long-term situations. In my home, I maintain a structured, calm environment with consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and supervision. I currently have two well-trained, fully vaccinated dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) who are very social and used to interacting with other dogs. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, understanding behavior, and ensuring a safe, low-stress environment. As a military veteran, I approach pet care professionally—with clear expectations, strong communication, and a focus on safety for all animals in my home. I maintain a flexible schedule and am home frequently throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and care. I structure my day around the dogs in my home and can accommodate established feeding, walking, and rest routines as long as they are clearly outlined in advance. My goal is to keep your dog on a schedule they are already comfortable with, while maintaining a calm, structured environment. I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to ensure each dog receives proper attention and consistency. My home is a safe, structured environment with two well-trained, fully vaccinated dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) who are very social and accustomed to interacting with other dogs. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and will make every effort to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. For safety, I only accept dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs. Dogs are supervised, and crating can be accommodated if your dog is crate-trained. I prioritize clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing.
About: I've been pet sitting for about 10 years, I have experience with large and small breeds, young and old. I just enjoy helping pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I work part time and have flexible hours in the afternoons and evenings. I am also very flexible with staying at client's homes for pet sitting especially on weekends because I don't work those days. Every pet has their specific routine and needs, I am very detail oriented and will make sure that their routine will carry on just like you would do for them.

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.

“Gulcin was very accommodating as our request was last minute. Met here out front where Harley was able to greet her. She kept us updated with pics and messages on how he was doing and took him for a walk while with her. It was only for a few hours but could tell she has a love for dogs! If we need daycare again while here in Ft. Myers while on vacation will definitely use her again!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, not just pets, but family. I grew up around dogs, volunteered with the Humane Society throughout college, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs needing extra medical care. One of my huskies developed diabetes and eventually went blind, so I became very comfortable administering medications and injections, following strict routines, and giving patient, loving care. I lost my sweet Shih Tzu after 17 amazing years together, and now I have two spoiled pups of my own, Gracie and Lily. I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they are my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekends, with weekday availability on many days as well. I’m happy to work with pet parents whenever possible and always do my best to accommodate schedules, routines, and special care needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and personalities so each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I live in a very dog-friendly area in Fort Myers with plenty of space for walks, playtime, and exercise. I always prioritize safety, supervision, communication, and making sure your pet feels at home.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and providing quality and secure pet sitting services for your beloved pet. I’m trilingual fluent speaking (English, Spanish, French) I have a part time job so I have days off to take care of your pets, even before (mornings) or after (evenings) work. I’m able to organize my time for your loved one :-) I prefer ask about your pet’s routine and times for eating, walk, playing, etc, I’m able to figure it out what he or she needs to give all my attention.
“I cannot recommend Laci enough! She took care of my dog for 11 1/2 days while I was out of state, walking her every morning and afternoon. She went above and beyond, even bringing my dog new toys and sharing daily updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. Communication was seamless and so easy, whether over the phone or through messages. I hope to use her again! Thanks Laci!”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. I currently have one dog and two cats that I absolutely adore, and I truly love spending time with animals of all kinds. Friends, family, and clients often tell me their pets seem to gravitate toward me and quickly become comfortable in my care. Building trust with animals comes naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, you can count on them being cared for with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. I am currently working at a salon studio, as an Esthetician. I would love to do this on the days I’m not working. Even before or after the time I’m going in or getting off. I have a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out, and I love spending time outdoors. I regularly take my own dog on long walks and enjoy visiting pet-friendly parks, trails, and outdoor spots whenever possible. Living near the beach means I spend a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful weather, and I love giving dogs plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. Whether your pup prefers a leisurely stroll, an active walk, or simply lots of playtime and affection, I’ll make sure they’re cared for as if they were my own.
About: I've been pet sitting for about 10 years, I have experience with large and small breeds, young and old. I just enjoy helping pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I work part time and have flexible hours in the afternoons and evenings. I am also very flexible with staying at client's homes for pet sitting especially on weekends because I don't work those days. Every pet has their specific routine and needs, I am very detail oriented and will make sure that their routine will carry on just like you would do for them.

“Our beagle puppy enjoyed his stay with Natasha and Gaspare. Natasha sent daily pictures letting us know know how our puppy was doing each day. Natasha walked Buddy daily and he also enjoyed outdoor play time in their fenced in back yard. When I picked up Buddy, Natasha sent home a gift bag of treats as well as a report card. We will be sure to use their services again!”
“Lori allowed me to book on the same day, the day before thanksgiving, after i had determined my original boarding option would not be a good fit for my dog! she accommodated all of his needs, which werent many, but still, she asked all the right questions for my pup making sure she was well prepared for him staying. A very nice person who i absolutely leave my dog with again. 10/5 stars if i could. I am extremely thankful for Lori and this day of giving Thanks!”
“Erika (and her daughter!) were absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Covey. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was so clear that they both genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. They treated him like family — playful, loving, and attentive to all his little quirks. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’d trust Erika and her daughter with Covey anytime and can’t recommend them enough! 💛🐶”
“Our dog & cat LOVED their stay of 5 days with Alain and his family! Really enjoyed getting updates and videos throughout their stay. They came home happy and relaxed, unlike our past experiences boarding at kennels in the past. Hoping to have them stay whenever we need to board them. Big thumbs up!!”
“I can’t thank Thomas & Lyndsay enough for taking such wonderful care of my pet Maluma. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving hands. They kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that Maluma was happy, relaxed, and having a great time.I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters. I’ll definitely reach out to them again next time I’m away.”
“Natasha was amazing! She gave us updates everyday and sent pictures as well. Lulu was so happy in all the pictures. When we picked Lulu up she was trying to take Natasha home with us; making sure she was following us to the car. I will definitely be rebooking with her and everyone should leave their fur babies with her. She is so loving and caring.”
“Krista was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the start, she was incredibly sweet and kept us completely at ease with frequent photo updates and check-ins whenever it was time for meals or walks. Her home is spotless, and the fenced-in yard provided the perfect environment for play and exercise. It was clear they were a perfect match—Krista had nothing but great things to say about Kali, which made us feel so comfortable leaving her in her care. To top it off, she was incredibly accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute; she didn't hesitate to let our dog stay an extra night when we realized we wouldn't make the original pickup time. We will definitely be booking with Krista again!”
“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.”
“LuLu had a blast with Claudia and her family!! Claudia sent me photos throughout the whole stay to let me know how LuLu was doing. Claudia is so sweet and communicative throughout the whole stay! I really felt at ease with LuLu there!!!! LuLu will def. Be staying with Claudia again!! ❤️”
“Mrs Diana took very good care of Kali. She made sure to send videos and pictures of Kali during her stay. Diana was super quick with responding regarding any questions. HIGH RECOMMEND!!!!”
“Sarah was amazing! She handled a very picky Grear Pyrenees and 2 cavaliers incredibly well! My dogs were so happy, and loved her huge backyard to play in. She also sent lots of updates and photos which was comforting. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Destini kept me informed every day about my precious baby. She was very responsive and flexible about drop off and pick up times. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my senior dog! <3”
“Tia was amazing. She took great care of our fur babies. We are travel nurses and we take our dogs everywhere. Unfortunately, they were unable to come with us this time. Tia was able to manage and give lots of love to our Pomeranian that has very bad separation anxiety. Tia sent us updates, pictures and videos everyday. We are so happy with her. If we are ever back in Omaha I will totally and with all the trust in the world leave my fur babies with her again. We 100% recommend her and I’ll be sure to recommend her to all our travel nurse friends.”
About: I stand out because I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s routine. I follow instructions exactly, send clear updates every visit, and make sure you always know how your pet is doing. I’m very active, so dogs get real walks and engagement — not just a quick loop. I have a calm, gentle energy that helps shy or anxious pets feel safe, and I’m patient with all personalities. I don’t overbook, I don’t cancel last‑minute, and I treat every home and pet with the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care is part of my daily afternoon routine. I work Monday–Friday and schedule my visits during the same time window each day, which keeps things consistent for the pets I care for. I’m active and outdoors every afternoon anyway, so walks, drop‑ins, and playtime fit naturally into my day. I don’t overbook myself, so your pet always gets my full attention, and I follow their routine exactly — meals, meds, walks, and quiet time. My schedule is steady, reliable, and built around giving pets calm, consistent care. I provide calm, consistent, safety‑focused care. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home clean, respect your space, and give clear updates so your pet feels secure.
“Destony was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, she was kind, professional, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. Throughout their stay, she kept us at ease and made sure they were well cared for, comfortable, and happy. What stood out most was how attentive and loving she was with them. Hearing that they were sweet, well-behaved, and that she wouldn’t mind watching them again truly speaks to the positive environment she created for them. She also went the extra mile by keeping us informed and reminding us about their evening feeding. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would not hesitate to book with Destony again in the future. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals, Destony is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!”
