Highly recommend her services!”

“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.”
“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!”
“So happy to have found Pamela as our first sitter on Rover. She set up a meet and greet to make sure our dog was compatible with others and to see her space- it's a cute setup complete with a shallow pool that is perfect for hot days. I got updates through the day and Tazzie came home exhausted- we will definitely be requesting future visits for daycare and boarding.”
“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.”
“Excellent care. Benny loved Mike and his dogs, and was crying when I picked him up because he did not want to leave! Mike was very pleasant to deal with. I recommend Mike, and would certainly use him again.”
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.
“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.

She treated savanna like her own. She even washed savanna’s bed and gave savanna a beautiful groom and bath! We cannot wait to use 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 is fantastic! She welcomed Kona with open arms and did an amazing job with giving us daily update and was very quick at responding back to us. I would definitely ask her to watch Kona again. Very happy with everything and Kona came home a very tired dog which was amazing.”
“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 was awesome and so kind to our furbaby during his visit. She kept us well informed of how he was doing and sent the sweetest pics for us. This was the first time we have traveled without our little one and am so grateful to Jessica for calming our nerves. We know we will trust her in the future with our precious little guy. Highly recommend her services!”
“Jill and her family were very kind. Asked meaningful and appropriate questions. It's not easy trusting someone else with your "fur babies", but I would book Jill again.”
“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.”
“This was a first stay away for our dog. Natasha and Gaspare allowed us to come over in advance of the stay to meet them and see the house and yard. During his stay, they kept us informed of how things were going. Our dog loved being with their two dogs. He also loved hanging out in their yard. We appreciate the good care they gave him!”
“Otto loved his time at Mike's place. Shadow was a great dog host and Otto was conflicted when I went to pick him up. He was super happy to see me, but very sad to leave his friends.”
“Elisa is Amazing !!! We Love her :) She took care of our Golden Retriever & Golden Doodle several times over these last several months, while my wife and I were traveling. Our pups adore her & would pull me into her house with excitement, every time they went for a visit! Our doodle can be a bit temperamental if she isn't getting enough attention - she never had an issue at Elisa's. We always knew that our babies were well cared for & we very much appreciate that ! I definitely recommend Elisa & would give more than 5 stars if it were possible... Thank you !”
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.
“Absolutely amazing Rover sitter. Went way above and beyond to accommodate our situation. Highly recommended if you need a trustworthy family to keep your loved ones!!!”
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!
“This was our first time using rover and Carrie made the experience absolutely amazing. Carrie was super accommodating and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her. She was even willing to go above and beyond to hold on to Levi during a terrible storm that was causing flooding in our area. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services in the future if needed!”
“Megan has been absolutely incredible with our 2 Shibas! We had a last minute family emergency over the holidays and she happily took them in and took care of them as her own. Even during the holidays, I’m so beyond thankful my dogs were able to be in a loving home on Christmas when we couldn’t bring them with us on our flight. So thankful for you❤️❤️”
