“We boarded both of our dogs with Olga and she is amazing. She sent us daily pictures to show us how well Isabelle and Reggie were doing. When we picked them up they came home ready to sleep because they were so tuckered out from the fun that they had. We will definitely board our pups with Olga again and have already recommended her to other people.”
“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!”
“Samantha and her family were just terrific with my dog Ripple. I could tell he was well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who is looking for an excellent doggie sitter.”
“We had never boarded our dogs before, and I had some anxiety about the process. From the beginning, Alain alleviated my concerns as he communicated early and often about the process. We set up a meeting in person before we left and brought our little dog along. Upon meeting Alain and his lovely family, I knew our pups were in good hands, so we could enjoy our trip without concerns. Alaim had printed out our instructions and was clearly prepared for their arrival. During our trip, he posted photos and videos every day we were gone so we could see how our dogs were doing, and they clearly were healthy and happy. Any question or concern I had, I received an immediate response. I highly recommend Alain, and if we travel again would not hesitate to book him again.”
“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.”
“Our dog absolutely loved his stay at Lily’s house. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future. She made us feel so comfortable. He’s only six months old and she took impeccable care of him. We also appreciated all of the updates.”
“I highly recommend Claudia. She watched my 10 month old high energy lab for 4 days. Constantly sent me pictures and updates. I felt so at ease with him in her care.”
“Randy & Karen did a FANTASTIC job with our Franki (Pug) for the 11 days! Kept us updated with pictures. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again on our next adventure.”
“I met with Mike to introduce my furbaby to him and his home. First he has two fur babies of his own they are so sweet. Ace immediately fit into the pack and loved Mike. He has a fenced in yard even has a doggie pool ?. I was impressed he trains K9 dogs for the government (this come in handy because Ace is a baby still and is still training. We were all set for the dates I booked. I had an emergency contacted Mike for a one night stay and he graciously accepted. Ace met two other schnauzers and they went hiking. He sent pictures and videos of Ace to assure me he was doing well. I feel so blessed to have found Mike (his wife is awesome to ?) Although I hate to write this review for selfish reason ???? (I want him all to myself) everyone should know he’s caring, loving and loves what he does… Thanks Mike ?”
“My dogs really enjoyed their visit with Natasha and Gaspare. It was so nice to receive pictures every night. If I am in this area again I will definitely use them again.”
“Patrícia was absolutely phenomenal with Moose. I seriously couldn’t ask for a better person to watch him. She went above and beyond with care and her expertise as a vet tech made this not just a stay, but a memorable experience. I would use her always moving forward.”
“I don't trust just anyone with our pup, especially him being a pomsky who is timid of others at first, but Oakley seemed to like them right away! Michelle sent photos and updates as he got more comfortable and you can tell he wasn't stressed out while we were gone. Looking like his normal healthy self. Thank you again!!”

“It this my first time using Rover and David made it so easy! He communicated very well and even worked with me on changing the date since my plans got moved. He gave me great details on how my pup was doing while he was there and even shared 2 pics with me. He understands these are our babies and you can tell he loves animals. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND David and will definitely be using him again!”

“Excellent. The cats were well cared for, and Elisa sent pictures of their antics for time she was with them . Truly above and beyond.. She is kind, caring and reliable and responsible.”
“Natasha & Gaspare were so nice when they came over for the meet n greet. They asked all the fight questions. They kept me up to date on how my two fur babies were doing by sending pictures during each visit. First time I’ve been able to go away worry free. Thank you both for you kindness. I do plan to use them again..”
“Robert took excellent care of my puppy Piglet. He was on time, provided plenty of photos and updates, respected my house, and followed all my instructions. Highly recommend Robert for your pet sitting needs and will definitely book with him in the future. Thanks Robert!!”
“Devon was great! We have 3 younger, rambunctious kitties who needed some love and attention while we were away for an extended period. Devon played with them and made sure all of their needs were taken care of. Her communication throughout was excellent. I didn’t have to worry at all. We would recommend her to anyone.”

I currently work a part time job, but I am free after 1:30 pm on Mon and Weds. I am available on weekends: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I care for pets in the clients home. I am not comfortable taking animals to my home since I have other pets in the house.
About: I’ve had dogs & have cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve never met a sweet happy tail that I didn’t want to pet or kiss! Their loyalty, love & faithfulness are boundless. The safety, security and companionship an animal provides is all consuming. People come & go but a dog’s love is forever. My experience with dogs is extensive as I’m regularly accustomed to playing, walking, bathing, brushing, cleaning up after & managing sometimes erratic behavior from my own two Maltese boys. Bathing, blow drying, brushing both fur & teeth & cleaning up accidents are my reality every week. I also possess the skill set to care for senior dogs with strict medication schedules, which I did regularly while in college. Apart from this; I have pet sit a litter of baby puppies over the years, beginning at 6 weeks of age. I’m currently available to work any weekdays & weekends. Monday - Friday & do not have any time restrictions. I would be available weekends as well. I’m available for dog walks & pet sit-ins. I have a fenced in yard at home for both of my dogs, but I am also very used to walking pets on a harness & leash to avoid any safety issues. I try to have a spare collar, harness, & leash in the back of my car in case anything unforeseen may arise.
“This was the first time Taylor checked in on my cats but she left a really good first impression. She showed up slightly early for the scheduled visits and gave a great recap of how each visit went. She exceeded expectations.”

“Melissa and Dave did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. They came every day for 2 weeks to feed and clean the litter box. We received photos daily showing she was healthy and happy and eating her food. When we got home, the food area and litter box were clean and tidy. I would definitely use them again for our future needs and highly recommend them to anyone who needs their furry friends taken care of.”
“Alexandria literally saved my life, had to urgently leave and she was so nice to accept a last minute request! She took a great care of my kitty, did everything i asked her to do and i felt my cat is in a great hands while i’m gone! I would definitely recommend her and request her myself for the future times!”

“Gabriella did an excellent job! She played with Daisy, kept the litter box clean and filled the self feeder when needed. Daisy doesn't always get along with everyone, but seemed to like Gabriella.”
About: I love cats! Whether they want nothing ot everything to do with me, I am right there. I have a cat of my own, and have always had cats growing up. I have had a range of indoor to outdoor cats, so I highly respect and understand the difference between the two.

“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!”
“Pamela does an excellent job caring for our dogs. She tires them out and socializes them well, which means after a long day of dog sitting, our dogs are tired and ready to lie around when they get home.”
“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!”
“Mike was very helpful and honest with sharing the day care experience with my young dog and had very good suggestions. I really appreciated the excellent communication and extra time he gave us.”
“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.”
“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”
“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: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover and homeschool mom who genuinely enjoys caring for pets and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Because I homeschool my two boys, I’m home often and able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have a sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu, so caring for dogs is already a big part of our daily life. My boys (ages 10 and 13) absolutely love animals and have even been hired by neighbors to help care for their pets. They’ve grown up around dogs and understand how to be gentle, calm, respectful, and caring with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like part of the family. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just relaxing in a calm environment, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while in my care. I also love sending photo updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet like one of my own! 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.
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.

About: CLEAN, NON SMOKING, HOME – Private Fenced Yard ~ Dog sitting is part of my business called Gail’s Personal Assistant Services. Please INCLUDE A CONTACT NUMBER IN YOUR INITIAL MESSAGE. I prefer communicating by phone or text. I have two small dogs, a Havashu and a Westie. My back yard is fenced and safe. I sit for many clients who come to the island and stay at inns that do not allow dogs. I have great references. It’s nice to know that while you are here playing, your fur-baby is also having a grand time. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I should say I am an animal lover. I've had cats in my past also. My mother had dogs in our home, so I was raised with them. About my yard It is a fenced in yard, not too large, but big enough for them to play and run around. My experience administering medication Yes. As I have two pups of my own, I have experience in doing this job. I have administered medication to my client's pups when they needed it.

About: Ever since I was a child, I have always had a dog, and/or cat. I have cared for friends, neighbors and family member’s dogs. This has included administering medications, either by mouth or shots, bathing, feeding, walking/running and cleaning up any messes they may have left behind. I have also spent the night at homes or brought their dogs to my house to watch. In my experience, I have found that watching a dog in their own home is less stressful than bringing them to an unknown home. I currently work full time 3 days a week and my schedule varies. I have some flexibility and on those days I would like to walk your dog. I prefer to walk your dog from your home. If your dog requires more care, then I would be happy to work out special care when needed.

I have a fenced in yard with a decent amount of land for my pitbull to run around in. I am also constantly checking his food and water bowls. We have plenty of toys to stimulate him when I am not home, but he does go on multiple walks a day
About: Hi there! I’m a kindergarten teacher with 8 years of experience working with children, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I bring that same care and consistency to every pet I look after. I’m also a proud dog owner of two golden retrievers, so I understand firsthand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I know the routines, energy levels, and little quirks that come with dogs, and I treat every pet like part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, or drop in visits, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine as a teacher with a structured schedule. I’m used to being organized and reliable, which helps me manage walks, drop-ins, and pet care consistently. I also have two golden retrievers, so caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life. I understand routines, exercise, and attention dogs need to feel happy and safe. I’m available before and after work on weekdays and have more flexibility on weekends. Since I am on summer break, I am very available! In my home, pets are treated like family with a calm, safe space, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your instructions and keep your pet’s routine consistent. I provide walks, feeding, and updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I can remember! They bring me so much happiness. I know the importance of walks, feeding, and playtime. I am self employed which gives me the freedom to also work around your schedule! I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have experience putting pups back into their crates. If a pup doesn’t go into a crate, I make sure there is nothing on the floor / counter that they could get into to hurt themselves. Make sure the doors are closed, etc. I am respectful of your space and will follow your specific directions for your pet! Like people, all pups are different!!

“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!”
“Samantha and her family were just terrific with my dog Ripple. I could tell he was well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who is looking for an excellent doggie sitter.”
“We had never boarded our dogs before, and I had some anxiety about the process. From the beginning, Alain alleviated my concerns as he communicated early and often about the process. We set up a meeting in person before we left and brought our little dog along. Upon meeting Alain and his lovely family, I knew our pups were in good hands, so we could enjoy our trip without concerns. Alaim had printed out our instructions and was clearly prepared for their arrival. During our trip, he posted photos and videos every day we were gone so we could see how our dogs were doing, and they clearly were healthy and happy. Any question or concern I had, I received an immediate response. I highly recommend Alain, and if we travel again would not hesitate to book him again.”
“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.”
“Our dog absolutely loved his stay at Lily’s house. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future. She made us feel so comfortable. He’s only six months old and she took impeccable care of him. We also appreciated all of the updates.”
“I highly recommend Claudia. She watched my 10 month old high energy lab for 4 days. Constantly sent me pictures and updates. I felt so at ease with him in her care.”
“I met with Mike to introduce my furbaby to him and his home. First he has two fur babies of his own they are so sweet. Ace immediately fit into the pack and loved Mike. He has a fenced in yard even has a doggie pool ?. I was impressed he trains K9 dogs for the government (this come in handy because Ace is a baby still and is still training. We were all set for the dates I booked. I had an emergency contacted Mike for a one night stay and he graciously accepted. Ace met two other schnauzers and they went hiking. He sent pictures and videos of Ace to assure me he was doing well. I feel so blessed to have found Mike (his wife is awesome to ?) Although I hate to write this review for selfish reason ???? (I want him all to myself) everyone should know he’s caring, loving and loves what he does… Thanks Mike ?”
“My dogs really enjoyed their visit with Natasha and Gaspare. It was so nice to receive pictures every night. If I am in this area again I will definitely use them again.”
“Patrícia was absolutely phenomenal with Moose. I seriously couldn’t ask for a better person to watch him. She went above and beyond with care and her expertise as a vet tech made this not just a stay, but a memorable experience. I would use her always moving forward.”
“I don't trust just anyone with our pup, especially him being a pomsky who is timid of others at first, but Oakley seemed to like them right away! Michelle sent photos and updates as he got more comfortable and you can tell he wasn't stressed out while we were gone. Looking like his normal healthy self. Thank you again!!”
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 can't thank Maria enough for her kindness and flexibility in accommodating our last-minute request for Pluto's care. From the moment we connected, she was beyond wonderful—thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated throughout the entire reservation with pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. Pluto was clearly happy and well cared for! On top of that, Maria has the most gentle giant of a dog, who made Pluto feel right at home. The experience was seamless, and we truly appreciate her warmth and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Kathy had great communication from the beginning. We set up a meet & greet ahead of time. Alula had the opportunity to interact with Kathy’s pets. After dropping Alula off we got regular photos & updates. I would leave Alula with Kathy again.”
“Last minute heading out of town for a wedding and I am very uneasy with who I leave any of my animals with. Jessica took all that weight off my shoulders and took two of our dogs for the weekend. Her communication was always spot on and she took pictures to let us know how our baby’s were doing. I can’t say enough good things about my experience. I will use Jessica again no doubt in my mind! She was fantastic. Very clean and presentable home with a fenced yard and, best part, she’s got a pool! If you want to vacation and not worry about your pups, consider Jessica, she will make it fun and easy. Thanks so much again!!”
“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!”
