“Olga did a great job taking care of our dog! She looked so content based on the pictures. We'll definitely use her again. Her fenced backyard was a great setting for our little girl.”
“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!”
“They sent so many videos and photos, which helped a lot considering how much I missed my sweet puppy, Virginia. Their dog, Max, quickly became Virginia’s best bud, and their entire family was so welcoming. Virginia was immediately comfortable and so loved the entire time. The home was clean and the backyard was spacious and fenced in. She had tons of play time and more than enough attention. This is where I’d board my dog if I had to again.”
“My dog means everything to me, and leaving her is very difficult. I went to see Krista and she seemed to be right person to watch Maggie. I was wrong, she was an outstanding person. Maggie is a dog that needs people and returns that affection with her love. Thanks Krista for taking such great care of her. I will not hesitate to use you in the future. Yours truly Don, Kelley, and of coarse Maggie May.”

“Viviana was a great sitter for Comet who is a senior dog and needs medication. She sent us many pictures and we could tell he was relaxed and being well taken care of. We will definitely use Viviana in the future and recommend her to take care of your dog.”
“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 received regular updates on the activities of my little doggy, and I can't say enough great things about Celea and her care. We will definitely be using her 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.”
“Jessica is the absolute best!! Never a worry when my pup is being looked after by her. He almost seems sad when I bring him home 😂… but you’ll feel as if she treats your dog like one of her own.”

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND David and will definitely be using him again!”

I have pet handling experience and can identify if a pet is comfortable or not. I can provide any and all safety measures when needed.
“Absolutely satisfied with them! My sweet kitty only had a day with them, but they were so communicative. Sent me pictures and documented on paper how he was during his stay. I was very nervous because I have never used a service like this before. Completely calmed me with their attention service. I would definitely recommend and use them again!”
“Elisa took great care of our kitties. During our absence, Hurricane Milton decided to visit. She took our cats and boarded them. She goes above expectation every time. We are so happy and grateful to have Elisa and Rover in our lives.”
“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.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for at least 5 years. I own 3 large dogs with my fiancé. I have at least seven years with cats and guinea pigs. I love all animals. 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.
About: With 5 years of animal care experience, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each pets unique needs. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize safety and comfort, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can relax knowing their furry family member is in good hands! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. As a proud owner of three dogs, my days naturally revolve around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Because I’m experienced with managing the needs of multiple dogs, I’m comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I make time everyday to ensure pets get the attention, excessive, and companionship they need. I provide personalized care based on each pets routine, needs, and personality. In my home, my dogs have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feedings, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. Consistent routines help keep my dogs happy and healthy and can help your pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away!

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. If a indoor kitty wants to try and run out, you better know I will throw my entire body to ensure that does not happen. I will match their sneakiness!

“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!”
“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.”
“Radar loves Mike, and I am so happy I found someone here locally with whom I feel safe leaving my fuzzy buddy. He is a great guy and loves doggies. I am blessed that we found him!”
“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: 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: 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 work every couple days at night so I am free most days unless noted under availability of otherwise situation that will succumb my day. I have experience getting more difficult dogs onto leashes and try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I have also worked with abused animals before and know how big trust can be for them so I can be as patient as your pup needs.
About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life and now as an adult I have 2 dogs and a cat. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule so I am available to come take care of your cat throughout the day and walk your dogs. I am from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I can take breaks when needed to be able to come take care of your pets. I am very comfortable with animals. I have no problem coming into your home to take care of them. Big or small is no problem.

“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!”
“They sent so many videos and photos, which helped a lot considering how much I missed my sweet puppy, Virginia. Their dog, Max, quickly became Virginia’s best bud, and their entire family was so welcoming. Virginia was immediately comfortable and so loved the entire time. The home was clean and the backyard was spacious and fenced in. She had tons of play time and more than enough attention. This is where I’d board my dog if I had to again.”
“My dog means everything to me, and leaving her is very difficult. I went to see Krista and she seemed to be right person to watch Maggie. I was wrong, she was an outstanding person. Maggie is a dog that needs people and returns that affection with her love. Thanks Krista for taking such great care of her. I will not hesitate to use you in the future. Yours truly Don, Kelley, and of coarse Maggie May.”
“Sandra Has always taken of my pups and me. Always available for short notice. She is so friendly and professional - my dogs absolutely love going to her place and I always have piece of mind that they so well taken care of! I recommend her 100% and she is a wonderful person as well.”
“Thank you Claudia for your kindness and patience with my dog Duke, you are a very good petsitter. Thanks for everything. I will definitely request your help in the future.”
“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.”
“We are so glad that we found Mike. Mike took care of Yoda as his own puppy and Yoda had a blast there. Thanks so much Mike. I am sure Yoda would have another blast during August stay.”
“Otis absolutely loved his stay. Daily communication was very Appreciated, especially for this first time being gone for a few days. Happy he was treated just like he was their own dog.”
“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.”
“Jessica is the absolute best!! Never a worry when my pup is being looked after by her. He almost seems sad when I bring him home 😂… but you’ll feel as if she treats your dog like one of her own.”
“This was Bridgets first visit with Michelle Andrew. She was obviously very comfortable there and happy when I got there. I think I believe I have found a good fit for Bridget!”
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!
“Elizabeth and her husband took great care of our pups! They sent us updates and pictures daily which were very much appreciated and helped us to relax knowing our babies were well taken care of. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“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.”
“Maria watched my puppy, it was the first time I left him and first time he ever stayed with anyone else. She did amazing! Kept me up to date even though my responses were limited due to cell service. She made him feel at home and I knew he was well watched over. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“This was our first boarding experience using Rover. We are very pleased with the ease of the reservation system. From coordinating a “meet and greet” with Jill to drop off and pick up we are very pleased. Jill sent a photo of Mocha while we were away. All seemed to go very well and we will definitely request Jill to keep Mocha for us when we have dog sitting needs!”
