“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!”
“Angela took care of Lucky on very short notice and I’m so grateful she was able to help. She sent pictures and updates, made sure he was fed, and got him out for walks. Communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear Lucky was in good hands. I’d absolutely book with Angela again!”
“So glad we met Taylor! Leaving our little girl Soleil with her felt like leaving her with a sweet friend. I knew she was in good hands surrounded by love. It was great to receive regular updates while we were away to keep our minds at ease. Thank you for your help Taylor!”
“Jennifer was amazing…she communicated constantly with me and sent pictures and videos of my snowball…Snowball loved Jennifer and we will definitely rebook for future needs, thank you so much ☺️”
“Floyd & Connie are perfect Rover hosts to our dog Hank. We always feel confident Hank is well cared for and loved while he is there. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best care!”
“Monica is a professional and knows animals (dogs) well. Her home is set up impeccable; she considers how to make your babies as comfortable as possible. Indulging there needs to truly make them feel at home. She even put this Dog Mom's nerves at ease by sending updates and photos throughout their stay. I'm definitely booking with Monica again hands down.”
“Teri was one of the best sitters I have ever had. Amber absolutely loved her and her husband. Amber was treated like she was her own. Amber walked into Teri’s house like it was her own home. Teri took excellent care of Amber. Will definitely use her again.”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
About: Your Pet’s Home Away From Home 🐶🐱❤️ Hi! I’m Emily, and I’d love to care for your pets while you’re away! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since I was 5. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and all kinds of furry friends over the years. I’ve also volunteered and fostered with animal shelters for several years, so I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers to curl up on the couch and get some extra love, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. 🐾 I have 2 fur babies of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’m happy to follow your normal routine, including meals, walks, medications, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I have a fenced-in yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. I’m also very flexible and can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. 📸 I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder what your fur baby is up to! I’d love to meet you and your pets and hopefully become your go-to sitter! ❤️🐾 I currently work a very flexible job, which allows me time to come home and take care of my fur babies. I look forward to meeting yours! I have a fenced in yard, live in a great neighborhood for walking with sidewalks, and have my own fur babies to keep yours company!
“Kimber is the BEST!! We use her five or six times a year between doggie daycare and boarding. Zoey loves to go to her house and it's such a relief knowing that she's getting great care when she's with Kimber. We always receive videos during her stays.”
“We loved having Marcela keep our fur baby! She was very responsive and kept us updated frequently with cute pics and videos of him the whole time. We felt comfortable and safe having him in her care and are so thankful for how accommodating she was with our schedule. We will definitely be booking with her again for all our future visits home! We can tell our fur baby misses her and the new friends he made while in her care!”
“Peggy went over and above to make sure our dog was comfortable, entertained, exercised and loved. She sent us frequent updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our fur baby was so well cared for. We will definitely book again with Peggy in the future. I highly recommend!!!”
About: I have created an easy to care for pet home with an all-tile floor, double door entries at all three take-in locations, and have doggy doors that let dogs come and go to the Back Yard to get exercise or take a potty break. I have been caring for four rescue dogs for over six years a dog in my home since 2012. I am currently retired and enjoy caring for my pets and those that visit. aside from caring for the dogs I am pretty much caring for the yard and the home. I have a fenced yard and three senior dogs and one 5-year-old dog, all rescues. Usually, breakfast in the morning roughly 7:00 followed by a walk then dinner at 4:00.
About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.

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!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
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.
