What really gave me peace of mind was that he always sent photos and videos, keeping me updated every step of the way. My dog was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and professional to care for their pet.”

“Our dogs came home happy and worn out! Sandra did a great job sending pictures. She followed special instructions and kept our boys safe. Our first time booking was a success and we will book again. Thank you!”
“Absolute expert care taken with our very clingy doggie. Karen sent us several updates daily of him playing, walking, and she slept with him under the covers with her at night. Not in a kennel or in the garage. He stayed beside her and her great hubby 24/7. We love them and will always be our first choice if we just cant take him with.”
“Krista was the perfect person to care for Amy. She made Amy feel right at home. We were sent pictures and updates daily. I never worried a minute while she was in Krista's care. We will definitely use Krista again without hesitation.”
“Randy and Karen took care of my 2 babies! We’ve been looking for reliable people to look after our babies as we have no family in Ft. Myers. They shared pictures with us and our babies looked so happy and comfortable! We feel comfortable with Randy and Karen and will be booking them again!”
“Coco felt right at home with Jessica and her crew. This was the 1st time leaving her with anyone. Coco was well taken care of and spoiled. We are grateful for Jessica for watching her for us over Thanksgiving.”
“Carla and her family were amazing with Sky! Sky was so happy in the pictures Carla sent to us. Thank you so much for taking great care of her. See you again in a couple of weeks. ❤️❤️”
“She did very good with our pitbull mix. He can be fearful and is anxious when he’s not with his people and it was great to get photo updates of him during his stay. Also flexible on return time when our event we had to travel for was running late.”
“Mike is the best dog sitter we have found! He sent updates with pictures daily without being asked! We have 2 GSP’s and one of them is full of anxiety and very needy. Mike quickly figured her out and won her over where she became attached to him within a day. We have never left her and had her be so receptive to her sitter in five years! It is very clear to me how happy my dogs are with him.”
“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!”
“Emily and Aaron are fantastic people! They really did treat my baby as if he was their own. The pictures I got everyday was just the cutest and you could see how truly happy he was. Their son is so adorable and so gentle with the dogs, he enjoyed playing with Sparky I would definitely recommend this family for dog boarding, I know we will absolutely use them again. Thanks again for loving my little fur baby!!!!”
“Franna & Mark are wonderful! We were very pleased with the care they provided for our dog. Even though he is very anxious and shy, everything was done to make him comfortable, and we found him so happy when we picked him up. We would not hesitate to leave our dogs with them again. We highly recommend them.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have family that has all different kinds of pets! Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, you name it! I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them. I just graduated high school at Mariner High School with Bright Futures and will be attending FAU in August! I’m currently working as a Food Runner at Slipaway in Cape Coral. I’m very responsible about making sure my dog is fed, entertained, and healthy which I would do for any animal. I always love to play with my friend’s animals when I visit because I see how much they love the connection too!
“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..”
“Melissa and David were awesome! I needed them twice in two months and only had a very short notice to give them each time and they were able to handle it! Highly recommend them! 😁”

“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 would highly recommend Taylor. She arrived when she said she would and shared pictures of Minka to ease our minds while we were away. I’ll definitely be using Taylor’s services again!”
About: Any day I meet a new set of paws is a good day. I’m happy to help you and your fur babies however I can, I have 3 Italian grey hounds at home and 9 cats. I promised I wouldn’t bring anymore animals home so I decided to join rover to make some money and give the extra love I have to other animals whose parents might need a helping hand. I’ve had experience taking care of animals my whole life at home but as well as pet sitting and drop in visits with my big sister ever since I was 11. If I’m ever not comfortable or sure of something I will let you know immediately or if you think I’m not a good fit that’s ok, because your pet comes first
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.
“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!”
About: I am a veterinary technician with years of experience inside and outside of an animal hospital. I am here to make pet sitting fun and exciting for you and your fur babies. I am home usually all day and while I do work at an animal hospital, my husband is home to insure the best care while I am away. 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.
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. My Overnight Stays An overnight stay is 24 hours. If you are gone over the 24 hour period for the one stay, then there is an additional charge for a day care stay. I have loads of time to play with your pups! I'm home most of the time except for some errands. They will love it here with my two! I let my pet run free and they are allowed to sleep with me. I can also crate your pet if that is how you have trained him/her.
“Yani took care of my 5 cats for over a week while I was out of town for Christmas. This is the second time Yani has cared for my fur babies, and I cannot recommend her more! She is responsible, kind, and attentive and truly cares. I had so much comfort receiving the report cards with pictures of my kitties and knowing she was there to check in on them allowed me to enjoy my vacation! Yani is amazing!”

“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 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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Wow am I happy and grateful that I found Mike for daycare for my tiny dachshund puppy! He was too young to be left alone for my long work shifts, and I tried a few sitters before finding Mike, and I was so disappointed in the care my Harley received at the other places. One house never let the dogs outside and had the floor covered in pee pads! At Mike’s Harley gets lots of exercise in the yard with Shadow and Mike helps me keep my house training routine, which was so very important to me when finding a special place for my special boy! I now get to enjoy my workdays without any worry about him at all. Harley is always so happy to go to his ‘Uncle Mike’s” house. The communication, flexibility, and professionalism Mike has shown us is unmatched. We truly appreciate his role in my pups life!”
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: 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.
“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, 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.”
About: My parents noticed very early on that I was going to be a huge animal lover. Well, they were right. Growing up, we had all different types of pets, but I gravitated more towards dogs and cats. I’ve owned large, medium, and small breed dogs. I currently have a 15 yr oId chihuahua and a 4 yr old tuxedo. Majority of my family, friends, and coworkers have fur babies, so when they need to go out of town or something came up, I would be their first choice. They know I provide safe and nurturing care for their dogs, cats, and even their plants. I’m friendly and trustworthy, putting pets and their owners at ease. I am reliable, trustworthy, empathetic, great at communication, and take exceptional care of their pets. Duties I provide are feedings, refresh water, cleaning, walking, bathing, medicating and monitoring the well-being of their dog or cat. I recently moved to Florida from California in August. I’ve been watching my clients dogs and cats, either house sitting or drop ins, since then. I wanted to have a job that brings myself, the owners and their dogs the feeling of trust they deserve. My weekdays and weekends, day and night, I’m available. I will feed your pet according to their schedule. I will take them for a walk everyday for at least a half an hour. I will clean up any mess the pet makes. If they like to play, I will play around with your pet. I will treat them like my own, and give the lots of cuddles and pets.

My main job gives me lots of time to play and walk my furry friends!!! I have a fenced backyard and a very calm Neighborhood in case your pet needs a walk around the block or a long walk. I love sleeping with them but if you prefer bringing their own bed I totally respect!!!

You will not have to worry when they are in my care what so ever, I am very responsible and will be sure that they have the best time. I am available every day and weekends for walks or drop ins.

About: Since I have been born I have been around pets of all kinds. I have had dogs, lizards, cats, and even horses. From fostering puppies/kittens, taking in strays, and raising/training my own puppies, I understand the love, appreciation, and care everyone has for their desired pet. I will ensure that under my care your pet is taken extremely good care of, I would be in immediate contact if anything strange or wrong occurs, and I would act if your pet were my own!

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.
About: Since the day I was born we’ve had four legged friends running around, so I consider myself somewhat of a dog whisperer! My love for our puppy pals extends to pets of all sizes. I have experience with fur babies from 2 pounds to 150 pounds, and I've been watching pups for about 9 years now! We all know every dog is different with different needs and I’m here to cater to all of them! If you have an adventurous energetic excited baby, a tired sleepy couch potato, or maybe right in the middle, I’m the girl for you.

“Megan went above and beyond today with our Boo and Olive. She came over in the morning and spent abundant time with them and then again in the afternoon. It was just what we needed--not having to worry about them while we were dealing with an all-day appointment. We could tell from the photos that they were relaxed and enjoyed Megan's company. (She may have lavished more attention on them than we do!) When we arrived home, they showed none of the signs of stress or anxiety they usually display when left alone for just a couple of hours. Communication was excellent and, fortunately, Megan was flexible and adjusted the times because of a change of plan. Finally, it's important to note that Megan did come over ahead for a short 'meet and greet' session. She took notes, listened carefully and asked pertinent questions. I knew then that she would be well-prepared and kind to our beloved pets.”

“Mike is the best dog sitter we have found! He sent updates with pictures daily without being asked! We have 2 GSP’s and one of them is full of anxiety and very needy. Mike quickly figured her out and won her over where she became attached to him within a day. We have never left her and had her be so receptive to her sitter in five years! It is very clear to me how happy my dogs are with him.”

We highly recommend them.”
