“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!”
“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!”
“I never give anyone 5 stars, but Karen and her husband are amazing!! Cole had the best time. We received many videos of him playing. He was very well taken care of, and we will definitely be using their services again.”
“Thomas & Lyndsay’s place has become a second home for Flynn. They treat him like one of their own, and he’s always comfortable lounging on their couch. He enjoys spending time with their pets. Perfect for overnight stays or longer visits!”
“Second time using Alain and he still did an amazing job. Our girl was happy to go and really enjoyed playing Max and Alain’s son in their big backyard. Thank you again for your great service!”
“My pups were so happy with Ashlee! My super anxious even opened up more at home after spending some time here! Your little ones will be so happy staying at this home and I can’t wait to bring them back for more fun!”
“Teresa is a wonderful dog sitter! She is an excellent communicator and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our dog Louie while she was watching him. I would highly recommend Teresa!”
“Claudia is a pro. Delightful host, sweet family, and took the very best care of my pal Rocky. Rocky had a blast, and Claudia sent pictures and stayed in contact throughout the entire visit. She even resolved a Rover calendar error quickly and smoothly. A+”
“We have a very soft-tempered three (3) year old female German Shepard who has never seen a boarding facility. We have used Rover on 2 other occasions with her, so needless to say, we are "picky and fussy" about who we entrust to care for our dog. We found Natasha and Gaspare on Rover and began a discussion. After a meet and greet, we knew that Timber would be well-cared for. Natasha's communication skills are above-par. She is prompt and very responsive. While we were away, she returned all text messages and sent us updates on Timber's day, with photos included. Natasha and Gaspare have very calm demeanors. They do not get easily excited and that calmness is a great character trait in a Rover sitter! When we picked Timber up, we were supposed to pick her up the morning of December 26th; however, we flew in to Ft. Myers on Christmas Day. We really wanted to get our baby back and while realizing it was Christmas, I thought I would ask if it was at all possible to retrieve Timber early, on Christmas Day evening. She replied immediately that this was no problem at all, and when we picked up the dog, she had Timber's belongings all packed up and ready to go. We went into their home, the dog looked at us, wagged her tail, and then proceeded to run up the stairs to the second level with one of their children. I wasn't expecting that response! That reaction alone told me that the care she had received was outstanding...the dog had had a BLAST!!! As if picking up a dog on Christmas Day wasn't a burden enough, Natasha sent us home with a care package...some treats for Timber, a Christmas ornament with her name and paw print inscribed, and a report card. It seems as though Timber had become what we used to refer to as "the Teacher's Pet"! If Natasha is available to take Timber in the future, I will not even bother to contact anyone else. She has my business secured. A+++. Dave Berry”
“Emily and Aaron were such great dog sitters, even over Christmas holiday! They sent pictures of my pet every day..he looked so happy! I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again!!”
“Mrs Diana took very good care of Kali. She made sure to send videos and pictures of Kali during her stay. Diana was super quick with responding regarding any questions. HIGH RECOMMEND!!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“Yan was excellent! This was my first time away from my new pup, but she assured me through pictures, videos, and constant updates my boy was very well taken care of. She went above and beyond to give him the (much needed) attention he demanded and listened carefully to my recommendations and instructions. I highly recommend Yan and thank her for making this a very good first time away from my puppy!”
“Vetra was so good with my dog. She stayed over July 4 and there are a bunch of fireworks which my dog hates and Vetra did her best to comfort Lily. We’ll definitely be using Vetra again.”
“Can't say enough good things about B! She took such good care of my two boys and I know for a fact they had a blast. When we picked them up they were very happy to see us but as soon as we got them in the car they passed out-a good sign that they had a fun filled week. I received lots of photos of my boys and that was so appreciated! B was very responsive as well, responding to all my texts/ calls in a timely manor. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again for future sittings. Thank you B!!!!”
“Lori and her family are wonderful. She took great care of our little girl. She was constantly in touch, sending pictures and texts. If given the chance I'm sure our dog would prefer to stay with them, there were great. Lori is flexible and accommodating. We will definitely be using her again.”

“This was our second time having Kat watch our 3 kitties and she was amazing, just like the first time! She has gotten to know each cat and their personalities and quirks, and she shows so much care and concern for them, texting right away if anything seems off about their behavior or eating habits. I love knowing they're in such great hands while we're away, and it's so nice knowing we'll come home to a clean house and happy cats! Kat also administers medication to one of our cats and supplements to another, and I feel great knowing I can trust her with this. I highly recommend Kat!”
“Beth is amazing, our communication was great, she perfectly follow all my requests. Very professional! She made me feel safe and secure!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED HER… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a huge thanks from me, kyra and Minnie Pearl?”

“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.”

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: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for 10–15 years to care for their pets in both short- and long-term situations.

I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, understanding behavior, and ensuring a safe, low-stress environment. As a military veteran, I approach pet care professionally—with clear expectations, strong communication, and a focus on safety for all animals in my home. I maintain a flexible schedule and am home frequently throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and care. I structure my day around the dogs in my home and can accommodate established feeding, walking, and rest routines as long as they are clearly outlined in advance. My goal is to keep your dog on a schedule they are already comfortable with, while maintaining a calm, structured environment. I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to ensure each dog receives proper attention and consistency. My home is a safe, structured environment with two well-trained, fully vaccinated dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) who are very social and accustomed to interacting with other dogs. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and will make every effort to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. For safety, I only accept dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs. Dogs are supervised, and crating can be accommodated if your dog is crate-trained. I prioritize clear communication so you always know how your dog is 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: Hello! I'm Nicole, and I'm 29 years old and living in my sunny hometown of Cape Coral with my 3 small fluffy dogs. I recently completed my masters degree at NYU with a thesis focusing on dog socialization. I've had pets since the day I was born - cats, dogs, fish, chickens, horses - you name it. I started before double digits caring for the neighbors pets when their owners were away on trips and still do to this day. I love all creatures that the world has given us, whether a lost neighborhood stray or the turtle on the side of the road (Yes, I am that person to stop and help it to the other side). Now taking my in-person pet sitting service digitally, I have learned to love and take care of pets in all aspects — from keeping them healthy and being by their side when sick or recovering. Everything from giving lots of love, keeping them well fed, being taken care of, and lots of playtime, walks, and especially cuddles — which are my specialty. My senior mini aussie has had double ACL repair surgery, and he was the bestest boy to learn how to care for a pet medically. I hope your pet can be a part of the love fest, too! I'm currently taking care of my parents' estate so I'm home 24/7. All my time is yours! Morning walks, evening walks, medicine schedules, drop-in visits, or socialization - anything your baby needs I can provide. At home, we have a fenced yard with doggy doors with full access to the outdoors. I always supervise their outdoor time since we have a pool. I can crate your dog any time if needed, or let them sleep in bed with me at night if they love that, too.

For clients, I also tailor care to their specific instructions and routines, ensuring a consistent environment for the pets while their owners are away.
About: I provide attentive, reliable care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from high-energy 90-pound Belgian Malinois to sweet 10-pound senior Shih-Tzus. Working with dogs is a major part of my daily life, and I am confident handling everything from active pups who need structured exercise to senior dogs who require patience and gentle support. I currently work at a professional dog training facility, where I walk, handle, and care for dogs every day. This experience has given me strong skills in reading canine body language, managing different energy levels, and maintaining safe, structured routines. I am comfortable following training plans and reinforcing positive behaviors to ensure consistency while your dog is in my care. I am also a proud rescue dog owner. My Husky mix has been my sidekick for the past two years, and caring for her has strengthened my understanding of consistency, positive reinforcement, and building trust. No task is too big or too small when it comes to your pet’s well-being. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication administration, or simply companionship, I approach every visit with responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I will treat your dog as if they were my own and ensure you feel confident and at ease while they are in my care. I work part-time, which allows me a very flexible schedule. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and can also accommodate consistent or last-minute bookings. I will follow any directions you provide exactly as provided. I know some dogs can be known to escape when owners are gone and your pet will be kept under watchful eye the whole time. There will be plenty of love given to your furry loved one.

“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!”
“Thomas & Lyndsay’s place has become a second home for Flynn. They treat him like one of their own, and he’s always comfortable lounging on their couch. He enjoys spending time with their pets. Perfect for overnight stays or longer visits!”
“Second time using Alain and he still did an amazing job. Our girl was happy to go and really enjoyed playing Max and Alain’s son in their big backyard. Thank you again for your great service!”
“Claudia is a pro. Delightful host, sweet family, and took the very best care of my pal Rocky. Rocky had a blast, and Claudia sent pictures and stayed in contact throughout the entire visit. She even resolved a Rover calendar error quickly and smoothly. A+”
“We have a very soft-tempered three (3) year old female German Shepard who has never seen a boarding facility. We have used Rover on 2 other occasions with her, so needless to say, we are "picky and fussy" about who we entrust to care for our dog. We found Natasha and Gaspare on Rover and began a discussion. After a meet and greet, we knew that Timber would be well-cared for. Natasha's communication skills are above-par. She is prompt and very responsive. While we were away, she returned all text messages and sent us updates on Timber's day, with photos included. Natasha and Gaspare have very calm demeanors. They do not get easily excited and that calmness is a great character trait in a Rover sitter! When we picked Timber up, we were supposed to pick her up the morning of December 26th; however, we flew in to Ft. Myers on Christmas Day. We really wanted to get our baby back and while realizing it was Christmas, I thought I would ask if it was at all possible to retrieve Timber early, on Christmas Day evening. She replied immediately that this was no problem at all, and when we picked up the dog, she had Timber's belongings all packed up and ready to go. We went into their home, the dog looked at us, wagged her tail, and then proceeded to run up the stairs to the second level with one of their children. I wasn't expecting that response! That reaction alone told me that the care she had received was outstanding...the dog had had a BLAST!!! As if picking up a dog on Christmas Day wasn't a burden enough, Natasha sent us home with a care package...some treats for Timber, a Christmas ornament with her name and paw print inscribed, and a report card. It seems as though Timber had become what we used to refer to as "the Teacher's Pet"! If Natasha is available to take Timber in the future, I will not even bother to contact anyone else. She has my business secured. A+++. Dave Berry”
“Mrs Diana took very good care of Kali. She made sure to send videos and pictures of Kali during her stay. Diana was super quick with responding regarding any questions. HIGH RECOMMEND!!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“Lori and her family are wonderful. She took great care of our little girl. She was constantly in touch, sending pictures and texts. If given the chance I'm sure our dog would prefer to stay with them, there were great. Lori is flexible and accommodating. We will definitely be using her again.”
“This was Rocky's longest stay with Krista - 7 days. WE received pictures 2x a day. Our Rocky was happy - went on walks, got lots of snuggles and was well cared for! We are so happy that we found Krista. We will definitely continue to use her in the future. Worth mentioning ...we had our Granddaughters wedding in Ohio. Kristra was not feeling well and still took care of Rocky. Rather than cancel she still took care of Rocky for us She's the BEST!!”
“Tia was great, and very accessible. We left Bailey with her for two nights and received plenty of photos. Bailey was relaxed and happy when we picked her up, we will definatley be using Tia again in the future!”
“Natasha was amazing! She gave us updates everyday and sent pictures as well. Lulu was so happy in all the pictures. When we picked Lulu up she was trying to take Natasha home with us; making sure she was following us to the car. I will definitely be rebooking with her and everyone should leave their fur babies with her. She is so loving and caring.”
“My dogs had the best time on their vacation with Fabiana! She sent soo many pictures and communicated throughout their time away. I'm sure they will miss all the fun they had!”
“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!!!”
“Destony watched our boy Ace twice now! She is so skilled and highly knowledgeable! She was able to watch Ace the second time within a minutes notice while I had to go deliver my baby early due to severe preeclampsia. She not only took care of him on short notice, but also took extra time to bathe him and clip his nails, exercise him and everything. He came back a happy handsome boy! She sent photos and communicated everyday! Really couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our Ace!”
“We were so nervous to leave our dog for the first time but Destini was absolutely wonderful! We felt better knowing she was going to be with him most of the time and sent us lots of picture updates that we loved getting!!! We will definitely use her again”
“Tracy was absolutely great with Bailey. I can’t say enough good things about her care while we were out of town. She stayed in touch with texts, photos and videos that made us comfortable Bailey was well cared for.”
