About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any kind since i was around 13. I love them unconditionally, they bring happiness to everyone. I have my own dogs, bigger breeds, and occasionally dogsit for my sister when she’s out of town! this is my full time! so i have plenty of time to make it everywhere i need to be! i make this my top priority day in and day out! my dogs are free roam in the house, trained and well behaved. my cat is also free roam and is well behaved, and likes almost everyone! if your animals are crate trained, that’s fine! your house your rules! i always stick to what the owners prefer, like, etc. for their animal. i never go the route of sticking to my own rules, it’s not my animal, the owner knows best!

About: Hello pet parents. We are a family of four. We have a 2 year old as well as a 6 year old. They are animal lovers just like me. I myself love animals and had my baby for 12 years before he past with lymphoma. I grew up with cats and dogs and truly enjoyed the campion of both. I am very experienced with elderly dogs and medications as my pup had arthritis and in the end making him as comfortable as we could. We would love to take care of your babies and spoil them as you would. Hope to see you soon. I work full time in Punta Gorda but with the help of my husband your baby will be cared for day and night with tons of love. I have cared for pets for years. I have also taken vet tech courses online and worked for Suncoast Humane Society. I am a household manager by trade so I am very neat and organized and so are my kids.

She did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring throughout the entire time. She kept a close eye on my pup, made sure all of his needs were met, and treated him with so much kindness and affection. She was also very punctual, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!

About: I've grown up my whole life with many, many farm animals including dogs and cats. I always loved the pets the most and I can't wait to meet your's!

I am normally available anytime of the week since I have the flexibility to move things around my schedule. Have you ever met a pilot that's not oriented around safety? Well guess what, I can guarantee that your pet will be left in safe, loving arms.

About: I will take your dog or dogs on long walks and let them explore their environment. I am available after 3 and depending on where you are, I can do mornings as well. I will not leave any mess behind for your neighbors to see. I will make sure your dog gets good exercise on each and every walk. I do not mind dogs that love to explore everything around them and want to see and smell everything they come across. I can walk multiple dogs at a time if you have more than one dog. i will try and make your dogs walk a good experience and a walk that stimulates them and hopefully, along the way, they are able to relieve themselves while we are outside!

About: We had a yorkiepoo for 15 1/2 years. I don't want one of my own right now, can't go thru that loss again, it was awful. I also have two daughters, family and friends in Ohio, we travel a lot and don’t want to be tied down with a dog of our own. I get my “fix” by watching others dogs. Due to a family member allergies, I can not board a dog at my home that sheds. We moved here from Ohio in 2021. I am not working and would love to take care, play or walk your fur baby or babies. We live in a sub division with sidewalks and walking trails for your dog. Small yard but no fence. Your dog will get lots of love.

About: I have experience taking care of care of the smallest, and most ferocious chihuahuas to the largest of lovable breeds like the purebred German shepherd. I know they all have their own unique personalities and such and that’s why it’s important for me to let them warm up to me at their own pace. I have just started to look for more work as a “professional” pet sitter, along with house sitting. I am still in the process of expanding my little side business! Honestly I try to spend as much time with them as possible, or for cats let them come to me. For me it’s about being patient with their wants such as walking or play time, and always making sure they are healthy and well fed.

The sweetest sitter ever!!! We just moved to the area and were looking for a reliable petsitter for our two kitties - I am soooo happy to have stumbled upon Morgan’s profile! Not only is she super kind and friendly as a person, but she is true to her word and v reliable. We came home to our house in better condition than we left it, and I suspect our cats miss her company already 😂 she definitely knows what she’s doing and I cannot recommend her enough, I’m so thrilled to have a consistent sitter around for when we travel. Thank you times a million Morgan!!!

About: I have had rescues dogs and cats all my life. I have administered medicine, cared for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand the importance of establishing trust with them. I work from home so I am always around during the day and can accommodate as many potty and zoomie breaks as needed! I have a very flexible schedule so I can work around your schedule needs. Just let me know your care preference - walking, play time or just loving on your fur baby! I currently have a rescue that needs special care... he is diabetic and is not fond of hot afternoons so his schedule is tailored to both the weather and his needs!

About: Hey there, I'm Nichole – your pet's new best friend! I’ve spent years building relationships with pets of all shapes and sizes, from playful puppies to wise old seniors. With experience in caring for senior dogs, I understand the patience and gentle touch they require, ensuring they're comfortable and content every step of the way. I also have a soft spot for exotic pets! Whether you have a chirpy bird, a scaly reptile, or a curious critter, you can trust me to provide specialized care tailored to their unique needs. When your furry friend is in my care, they're not just another client – they're family. I take the time to really get to know them, from their favorite toys to their special quirks. Whether it's a high-energy romp in the park, a cozy cuddle session at home, or specialized care for your furry friend, I tailor each experience to suit their individual needs and preferences. I believe in open communication, so you can always expect regular updates and photos while you're away. After all, I know how important peace of mind is when you're trusting someone with your furry loved one. So if you're looking for more than just a pet sitter – if you want someone who will treat your family member with the same love and care as you do – then look no further. I'm here to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve, because with me, they're in good paws... or claws... or fins. Currently I am working part time so I will have a lot of availability to watch your pets. From early mornings to late afternoons, you can trust me to be there for your pet! I have a very large backyard and often visit the dog park near me! I love taking pets to the lake if they like to play in water. I have a very cozy space with lots of spots to nap. Your furry friend will never get bored!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,181 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Placida. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Placida stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Placida choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Placida with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Placida. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
