He is patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. Hershey came back happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of, which gives me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate the updates and photos—it’s clear that Hershey enjoys his time with Alain. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup.

“Sandra was amazing and I couldn’t have been happier with her care of my dog. We were nervous because it was the first time we left her. Sandra quickly made us feel that Kira was in great hands. When we arrived she didn’t want to leave, it was though I was picking my daughter up from her friends and she didn’t want to leave. Absolutely recommend her!!!”
“First time boarding our Teddy with Karen R. Karen kept me informed with many photos and stories of his days with her. I saw the love she had for him and he came home a very happy and well cared for boy. Will definitely choose Karen the next time we need a pup sitter. 💙🩵”

“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!!”

“Olga was absolutely wonderful with Ruth and very accommodating to my unpredictable schedule at times. Ruth was newly adopted and had a couple issues, so I wanted to make her transition to her new life as easy as possible. Every time I picked her up, she was very happy and seemed to be coming out of her shell. I’m so grateful I found Olga on Rover and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“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.”
“Friendly and safe spot for your pup. Attentive and communicative hosts who send pics to keep you informed. Highly recommend; we're passing thru on a winter journey and would feel comfortable sending my fur pup there again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4:4)”
“Our dog has done weekly daycare with Pamela for about two years, that’s easily 100 times- and I would recommend her 100 times over. She’s also boarded our dog and checked in on our cat when traveling. Pamela is great at communicating during a stay and always takes the best pictures of our pup. She genuinely loves her job and every dog that she works with she treats as her own. I’ve never worried about my dog with her and any issues (dogs not immediately getting along) have always been quickly and thoroughly communicated. The pack of daycare dogs she made has been amazing at socializing our dog and wearing her out. Our dog is so excited to go to Pamela’s every single time and sleeps so well that night. Pamela is truly unique in how she runs her daycare and the services she provides. Any dog that gets to spend the day with her is well loved and cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“My dog was so happy over at Alain's house. I can tell the whole family truly loves dogs and treated him wonderfully. Thank you so much and I would recommend this pet sitter to anyone.”
“Diana was very accommodating and friendly. She listened to my needs and communicated throughout the day. She knew I was worried about to my fur babies so she always let me know how they were doing.”
“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: Hi! We, Dan and Arleen, are lifelong dog lovers and experienced pet caretakers. We are home 24/7 and will not leave your fur baby alone at any time. We provide a comforting, home-based option for dogs while their owners are away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are our top priorities. We have owned dogs our entire lives since childhood, until recently when we lost our last fur baby this past March. We also volunteer at our local Animal Shelter and have years of experience with our own fur babies (puppies through seniors) , dog sitting/boarding for friends and family. We are both retired (early) and are home 24/7. Your fur baby will get one on one attention, unless there are siblings. We do not take on more than one dog at a time. Fully fenced in backyard for them to run and play. Home-based care with 24/7 supervision • Limited guest capacity for a calm environment • Experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments • Secure fenced yard and cozy indoor accommodations • Meet and greet with the Owners prior to booking
About: Hi! I’m a dependable, stay-at-home mom and animal lover who will treat your dog like part of the family. Because I’m home throughout most of the day, your pup will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. Dogs are rarely left alone, and I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, and sleeping routines. I have a sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu and two animal-loving boys, ages 10 and 13, who have grown up around dogs and understand how to interact with them gently and respectfully. All interactions are supervised, and your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. We have a private, unfenced backyard, so dogs are always kept safely on a leash or lead and supervised while outside. I also provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a homeschool family, we’re home often and able to provide lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day in a calm, cozy environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. We have a private backyard for potty breaks and outdoor time, but because the yard is not fenced, all dogs are kept safely on a leash or lead at all times while outside. Pets are always supervised during outdoor time, and I take extra care to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. I’m also happy to follow any specific safety instructions, routines, or preferences you have for your pet. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pet feels right at home.
“Jill graciously hosted our dog for a long day when we had a last-minute opportunity to be away. She has such a calm demeanor and was quickly able to help our lively pup connect with the other 2 dogs in her care.”
“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”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters: My sincere love and affection for animals started at a young age and has guided my life ever since. With 7 years of professional experience as a US Army Military Working Dog handler, certified dog trainer/ student instructor, and kennel master. During this time in my career I also fostered puppies in the 341st MWD Puppy Program at Lackland, Air Force Base. Volunteers foster puppies from 6 weeks to 7 months old, focusing on socialization before they begin formal training at 12 months. Building socialization and obedience foundations through gentle, positive methods. Now in Cape Coral, I offer premium boarding with structured routines, relaxing waterfront walks, and reinforcement of good manners. I'm especially skilled with puppies (nurturing early confidence and training) and seniors (gentle, low-stress care). You get military-honed discipline combined with genuine warmth and lots of love—your pup comes home happy, relaxed, and even better behaved! Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I'm retired and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care. I'm usually home most of the day, with time built in for multiple structured walks (often along our beautiful waterfront paths), play sessions, training reinforcement, and plenty of quiet downtime. I treat boarding like a premium retreat: routines include regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, and lots of one-on-one affection to keep your pup relaxed and happy. I'm available for drop-offs/pick-ups that fit your needs, and I can adjust for longer stays or special requests. Since my background is in professional dog handling, I thrive on creating calm, predictable days—your dog gets the structure and love they deserve without ever feeling like an afterthought! Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Your pet's happiness and security come first in my calm, loving Cape Coral home. We have a fenced waterfront yard that's secure, spacious, and escape-proof (with no direct access to the water for extra peace of mind). It's ideal for safe supervised play, potty breaks, and relaxing outdoor time. Indoors, the space is clean, hazard-free, and cozy with plenty of comfy spots and fresh water always available. I maintain structured yet relaxed routines with regular checks, positive reinforcement of manners, and lots of one-on-one affection. Plus, we have my 4-year-old Boxer, Tyson—he's extremely sociable, sweet, loving, and gentle, always eager to make new friends! He thrives on playdates and gentle interactions, so compatible pups often enjoy having a fun, well-mannered buddy around (I do careful, slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and happy). I follow your care instructions precisely (feeding, meds, exercise), provide daily photo updates, and create a premium, waterfront retreat where dogs feel loved and secure.

“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!”
“Alain has been absolutely wonderful with Hershey! From the very first moment, I could tell he truly cared and took the time to understand Hershey’s needs and personality. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. Hershey came back happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of, which gives me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate the updates and photos—it’s clear that Hershey enjoys his time with Alain. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup. Thank you, Alain!”
“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.”
“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!! ❤️”
“Thank goodness we found Diana. We are from out of town and needed an overnight stay for our dog. Diana and her sons took great care of Pork Chop. I don’t think he even missed us.”
“Sandra was amazing and I couldn’t have been happier with her care of my dog. We were nervous because it was the first time we left her. Sandra quickly made us feel that Kira was in great hands. When we arrived she didn’t want to leave, it was though I was picking my daughter up from her friends and she didn’t want to leave. Absolutely recommend her!!!”
“Krista provided excellent care for Bailey. He enjoyed his stay immensely and was a bit sad to leave since he had so much fun. Krista provided daily updates and was very accommodating when my flight got delayed. Highly recommend her services. Thank you, Krista!”
“Jessica did a great job with our dog. She was very friendly and knows how to work with large breeds, also sent us updates and pics. My dog was super happy when we picked him up :)”
“Franna and Mark took great care of our mini Aussie while we were away for an extended family holiday. They let her make herself completely at home, and sent us pictures of her happily snuggled up in the sofa. We would definitely book with them again and recommend them.”
“Absolutely loved the Rover experience. Thanks to Jill Koda had a great place to stay. Although we booked last minute Jill was very helpful and understanding. She sent updates and photos of our fur baby. He got to run around outside and play a bunch. He was so happy there! Thank you so much to Rover and Jill!!! We definitely will use Jill again!”
“Mike was simply awesome! Great communication and daily pictures. Clean, safe environment. More importantly, it’s clear that he is passionate about dogs and their training. We were more than pleased that he used his dog training experience to provide us actionable feedback on our puppy. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.”
“They are awesome! The home is welcoming and safe and they were very caring with my little Doxie’s first time being boarded. I now consider them the only people I will leave my dog with…I highly and confidently recommend them! 5 stars for sure”
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.
“Maria was great, and very attentive to my lab Buoy. she watched him for 5 days. She sent me updates frequently with pictures/videos and even let him play in her pool. He had a blast! We will definitely be using her in the future”
About: I just lost my two pittie babies at 15.5 and 16.5 years and am looking to help other pet parents ❤️ I have rescued a new baby named Bug who is almost 2 years old and she LOVES all dogs! Our yard is 1/2 acre and fenced in so plenty of room to run! I love making sure dogs are spoiled when their parents are away and always look after my friends dogs if they go on vacation! I'm law enforcement certified so you're dogs and house are safe with me! I can run with the dogs, play inside with them, walk with them, bring them to the vet or groomers, help train them simple commands, and give them tons of love while your gone! Whatever your dog needs, I can handle it and do what is best for you and them! I love being around all dogs (and cats, and rabbits, and any animal!) and am happy to help where I can! I work about 3 nights a week and my husband works days so there is always someone at the house to watch the pups and make sure they're comfortable. I have a fenced in yard and a lake for swimming if they like the water! They will always be supervised and cared for as of they were my own!
“We did a last minute booking with David for our 7 year old pitbull. It was the first time she would be staying with a stranger. David met with us prior to our trip so that our dog can meet him and it wouldn’t be so much of a shock for her. As soon as she met him she felt very comfortable around him and he was very sweet with her. He sent us pictures throughout our trip and you could tell that our girl was very happy during her stay with him. We are very happy to have found David.”
