About: I have been around dogs since i was born. I had my very own family dog for 17 years. I have watched family and friends dogs in the past. I work as a housekeeper at Home 2 suites by Hilton. Since it is becoming slow season. I work 8am to 2pm, get home by 3pm. I have more than enough time to give everything your pets need to a timely manner. I also have the same days off every week, Monday and Tuesday. So anything specific, that takes time, that needs to be done, I can do on those days. I am a very clean and organized person. I will make sure everything is clean and ready for when you get back and make sure your pets get everything they need.

About: I am a dog lover. If you could own 10 dogs, I would! I have always owned and cared for dogs and would love to walk your dog. My 13 year-old chocolate lab/ pit mix went over the rainbow bridge last year and I loved taking him on daily walks. . I also have three cats. I am a very active person, so walking your dog would benefit me and your dog. When I first meet a dog, I am immediately in love with them. As long as their owner says it’s ok, i always stop to pet them and talk to them. I don't show any fear in approaching them and I think that helps them trust me. I have open availability.

About: I have 20 years of pet care experience. I began a pet care service in 2000 by providing care for new puppies on up to senior cats and dogs that required medication such as admininstering Insulin shots twice daily, oral medications and special dietary food supplements and meals. I have always been an animal lover since my childhood days and continue to have the same fondness for animals as an adult. I look forward to meeting new four legged friends both canine and feline. I am currently back in the Portland area visiting family and friends for the next 6 months. I’d like to be available for pet care during my stay in Maine. I’m open to discussing dog walking, drop in visits and overnight stays per my schedule. I’ll be helping with a family business part time and would like to include pet care as an additional way to stay busy, active and connected to animals😊 I prefer to care for pets in the client’s home. I offer dog walking, drop in visits for cats and dogs and overnight stays. I feel most pets do best in their own environments😊

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.

About: I’ve loved, lived with and cared for dogs nearly my whole life! I’ve seldom met a dog I didn’t like and I think they’d say the same for me! 😉 I currently have three loving pals named Freyja, Handsome and Brio. I know there’s more to caring for a pet than simply feeding and walking. I will pack in as much TLC as possible, even if it’s just for 30 minutes. I’m pleased to fulfill the wishes of their parents to the letter! So if your little one (or big one) is looking for a step-in companion, I’m happy to oblige! ☺️🐶💕 I’m currently working part time from home and spend most of my day with my three fur babies, so I have lots of open availability! One of my dogs is a rescue with special needs. He does wonderfully with my husband, me and our two other dogs, but he needs to meet someone several times before being comfortable with them. Because of this, we would not just bring another animal into our home, but I am happy to come to your home to provide care, playtime and walks.

Janet was so loving with our dog while we were away. He was very nervous to be left alone. Janet did everything she could to comfort him, including leaving a shirt so he would get used to her scent. She is such a humble, big hearted person! We will definitely be using her again.

About: I spend my free time volunteering at a local dog rescue. I am a born & raised Midwesterner who is a true "Dog Mom." I am a retired teacher who has lived in SW Florida for five years now. I have embraced the Florida lifestyle even taking my dog out in a "doggy stroller!" I have been trusted to watch and care for friends' dogs and cats for days at a time or even weeks while they've gone on vacation. I love their pets like my own. I am picky about who watches my own dog, so I would like any pet owner to know that their little furball is in good hands while they're away. I am currently available during the day and in the early evening. I am also available on weekends. I'm willing to discuss any specific time needs with pet owners as well. I am a self-described "early bird" which allows me to walk dogs when the weather is cooler. My dogs have always had full run of the house except when I'm away and then they are put into a crate (mostly for their own protection so they're not eating or chewing on items they shouldn't!) or trying to jump on or off furniture. My dogs have always been treated extremely well. When I wake up early in the morning, my dog goes out first thing, gets a treat, then gets fed breakfast. We usually do a small walk. I take into account the age and wellness of the dog. I had an elderly dog who used to walk two miles every day, but then he slowed down a lot, so I adjusted his walk distances. I also adjust to the Florida heat! No walks during the hottest hours! I like to get out early and walk. Speaking of walking or playing - my favorite motto is: A tired dog is a happy dog!

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a child, big and little dogs. I’ve recently lost my 2 dogs at the ages of 14 and 12 about a year apart. I love to travel so, not ready for another furry friend of my own but, miss being around them so much!! I have raised dogs from puppies all the way to end of life, through some illnesses. I would love to come shower your pets with love, walks and treats:) I currently do not work. I am new to the area and love animals and walking so have decided to mesh the two. I am available any day of the week and won’t be rushing to get back to another job. I will shower your pets with attention and love. I am willing to follow whatever directions you set, crated or not crated, on or off the furniture, etc. I can walk your dog for .5 mile or for 5 miles, whatever you’d like.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Friends and family have put their trust in me to tend to their pets needs when they are away and unavailable. I am semi retired with a lot of availability to meet your schedule. Your pet’s happiness is my priority and will always be there for them. I prefer to go to your home to take care of your pets that way they are not more disrupted by going into a new environment as well as missing their owners.

About: I've taken care and owned multiple types of dogs and cats. I have watched pets during the day and over night. I love meeting new dogs and cats. I work part time so that means I am available during different parts of the day and night. I am willing to do over nights. When I am watching pets in different clients home, I will make sure nothing in the house is damaged. I will not touch anything I don't have to. I will walk or let out pets. I will feed and water them. I will also take care of any extra needs that the pets have.

Savannah did an absolutely amazing job when doing drop-in visits with my pups. She made me feel so comfortable about leaving my dogs in her care, which was such a relief. She genuinely cares about the animals and did everything possible to put me at ease while having to be away. Couldn't have been more grateful to have found her! Thank You Savannah!!!!

Suzanne was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Managing our unique dog dynamics is not always easy, but she handled everything with care, patience, and confidence. She followed all of our routines, administered medications correctly, and kept everyone happy and comfortable while we were away. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would gladly trust Suzanne with our pups again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Rebekah is my go to puppy sitter! She is the best, always flexible and available for last minute requests. Jax gets so excited to see her everytime and she always feels out how Jax is feeling day to day. Sometimes he gets anxious and won’t walk past 2 houses and she recognizes that! After their walks she always comes backs and PLAYS, as a puppy he loves play time! She also always picks up after Jax and checks on his water. I 100% recommend Rebekah to anyone, she’s the best!

Jennifer was amazing! Jennifer always sent a bunch of photos and videos of our dog, was there for her entire 30 minute visit (if not longer), and wasn’t afraid to ask questions about our dog to make sure she was the most cared for!!! Our dog also got a last minute ear infection before our vacation & Jennifer gave our dog her ear drops while we were away. We will definitely be booking Jennifer again!

Sofie did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs. Theo our one year-old Chihuahua and Sophie our 12-year-old Pomeranian. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries that she was giving them love and attention. She communicated daily and kept us up-to-date on her visits. We would highly recommend sofie and plan on asking her to watch our dogs again in June.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Port Charlotte

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Port Charlotte on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,254 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Port Charlotte. 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 Port Charlotte 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 Port Charlotte 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 Port Charlotte 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 Port Charlotte. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
