“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Floyd and Connie were wonderful dog sitters for Callie, our senior Yorker-Poo. They helped her adjust, sent lots of photos, and gave her medications. They have a great set-up for small dogs with a fenced yard in the house. Callie was there for a week- and she came back home settled and content. Thanks Floyd and Connie! Would definitely use their services again!”
“Angela was super sweet and I loved the photos of my cat while we were gone! My cat hasn’t ever stayed with a stranger for that long without us and he was a little mischievous with some hiding spots but Angela handled it very well by giving him his time to come around to her. Highly recommend!! :)”
“This was Buddy's first visit with Monica. Went extremely well. Monica's communications were excellent with daily pictures provided. We plan to request Monica for future visits.”
“Marcella and Ty are an outstanding couple, very loving and skilled with the dogs, I was happy to find out they spent time doing some training with my very large and full of energy pups..their property is gorgeous with lots of room to run and play! Looking forward to doing some daycare as well as boarding. Highly recommend!!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Tara and Justin! They took such amazing care of my two girls while I was away. Tara is incredibly compassionate and experienced—she made sure my dogs felt comfortable and right at home from the start, giving them the time they needed to adjust to a new environment. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my girls were happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. Tara and Justin truly care about the pets they watch and go above and beyond to treat them like their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable pet care!”
“Ava was so wonderful and kept us updated on our precious girl with constant communication and pictures. We were able to leave Ruby with ease knowing she was in such great care. Will definitely use her again!”
“Kathy J. is an excellent dog sitter. Her home is clean, and built for puppies to have fun. The atmosphere that our babies receive from Kathy and her husband is full of much loving care and fun. Our puppies enjoyed playing with their two puppies during their stay. Kathy sent pictures and updates everyday so we could know how our boys were doing which was awesome. Won't hesitate calling on Kathy J. again if care is needed. ”
“What an amazing experience! Jennifer was incredibly kind and kept me updated on my baby throughout the entire time. She sent numerous pictures, which reassured me that my baby was doing great. This was the first time I left her for an extended period, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Robin is an absolute angel! She watched our dog Buddy for 10 days, and was amazing with him. Buddy is a rescue and a very nervous little guy, so Robin had us bring him over for short little stays with her prior to our vacation, so that Buddy could get adjusted to us leaving him for a period of time. She truly cares about the pets she watches, and I felt like she cared for Buddy as if he were her own. Robin kept us updated on how he was doing, and included photos. We missed Buddy terribly while we were away, but we knew he was in safe, capable, and loving hands. I would recommend Robin to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and would not hesitate to book with her again. Five stars is not enough! :)”
“Lucy loves spending time at Kimber’s! Always other well behaved dogs there to play, lots of personal attention, a happy and comfortable place. Kimber always sends video updates, she has great communication, we have great confidence having her watch Lucy. Highly recommended.”
“Very friendly and their living arrangements are great. Very flexible and my dog Charly loves it there. They have sent me numerous videos of Charly since I left her. They are wondrful”
“Celea was absolutely amazing from the time of the meet and great to the time she cared for my dogs. They were so nervous for me to leave them but they warmed right up and I was able to see that from the pictures and videos she sent me on a daily basis. She has a huge heart for dogs and it shows!! Wonderful!! Will be using her again.”
“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.”
“Jennifer is always our go to! My yoki loves her so much. As always she was so attentive with everything esp my dog’s pooping habits. she’s always so accommodating”
“Claudia is an amazing sitter! I followed her dog sitter Instagram account where I saw updates of Rex throughout the day. Rex was treated like a family member in Claudia’s home and I’m extremely grateful for her services.”
“Peggy was amazing! She helped me out very last minute and on a holiday weekend. She gave us cute updates and Ari got SO much attention; she loved Peggy and made herself right at home! I would highly recommend Peggy to anyone who’s needs to board their pets in a safe and loving environment. Ari can’t wait to go back!”
“We had a really great experience with her this weekend! She took wonderful care of our dogs, and they seemed very happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got back. It was clear they were in good hands. Communication was smooth overall. We’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again.”

Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!
Aliyana was absolutely amazing with my boy Kenai super attentive towards him and he had friends there too with her animals. She also sends pictures and videos throughout the day so your always in the loop of things. She took him out to play and on multiple walks and treats. I know this says five stars but she deserves more 100/100 Ladies and Gentlemen your pets deserve someone amazing and she is all that and some. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy. This is now our go to pet sitter
Taylor was absolutely amazing! She knows dogs well and is super friendly and compassionate. I trusted her completely with my 3 fur babies while I flew home for the holidays. She even gave them all stockings with a toy, treat and blanket in them😊 So sweet! She kept me updated always with texts and pictures and I never was worried my whole trip. Her children are so sweet and loved on my fur kids and I was so glad everyone became good friends. I 100% recommend booking with Taylor if you are in need of fantastic sitter in Port Charlotte!

97% of Port Charlotte sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Port Charlotte landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Port Charlotte home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Port Charlotte.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Port Charlotte sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
