About: i'm a pet mother of 2 dogs and 3 cats. i've rescued, adopted, and cared for animals for over a decade-since i was a little girl! i treat all of them as if they were my own. spending my day with my pets has always been my #1 hobby. ive owned snakes, birds, lizards, fish, cats, and dogs! im happy to spend time with any pet! ♡ besides Rover, i have 2 side gigs i can adjust with my schedule at any time! i spend hours with my pets day by day, and your fur baby would fit right in no matter what! 🤍 i have an unfenced yard and lanai. i stay outside with my cats and dogs for about an hour until it’s time to come inside! i can walk your fur baby around my neighborhood, for an awesome chance to see a lovely bunny or bird. my dogs are very friendly to any pet. my cats are friendly as well but i have one who is skittish- but still kind as can be.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. Sitting for neighbors cats and caring for all my furry friends at home. I grew up having dogs, cats, and even a bird. I feel I have a strong connections to our four legged friends and they always seem drawn to me. I am a yoga teacher with a set teaching schedule. This always for me to have a flexible morning and afternoon schedule to help with all pet sitting needs. Our home is a safe and peaceful environment for an our furry kid, Maxine. She roams around the home and has special spots for naps throughout the day. She even goes out on our screened in front of porch and pool lanai area ( with adult supervision). Everyday, Fresh water and food is always provided, along with a daily cleaning of her liter box. We play a lot with her many toys spread out throughout our home. My husband and I live peacefully lives, and this is the exact environment that we provide for our furry kid, Maxine. Along with lots of love and head scratchies.
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!
“Great communication and Brego was so comfortable from the first check in and enjoyed the special attention. Really helped me with a last minute service and looking forward to future bookings!”

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Charlotte
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
