About: I have provided care to family dogs for over 25 years. I have quite a bit of care to elderly dogs especially those that need medications or assistance. I love walking dogs. I recently retired. I am very flexible on scheduling . Generally I am available on holidays and off hours. I will try fit your needs. I have a house on a quiet, safe cul-de-sac street. I do not have a fence around my yard but I do have a nice yard with a large screened lanai and pool. I will always accompany your dogs on leach when they go outside my home. If your dog is comfortable, I will take the dogs to the Hounds of Henry dog park which is within walking distance of my home in Punta Gorda. If you do not have a fenced yard I will always accompany your dogs when they go outside your home. I will care for your dogs as if they are mine.
“Ashley has been walking my pup weekly, and it’s definitely making a difference when I get home. Tillie clearly enjoys her time with her. Ashley has been super flexible with my changing schedule.”
About: Over the past 4 years, I’ve helped take care of a family member’s dog (golden retriever) which included house sitting, daily walks, playing fetch, vet visits and grooming appointments. I recently retired and have lots of free time and a very flexible schedule. I’m looking for a flexible, part-time opportunity where I can enjoys walks with a buddy and cuddles from a fur-baby. I would care for pets in your home as I have 3 cats in my home. My focus would be on your special pets and ensuring I follow your requests for caring for them.
“Poseidon got spoiled on his walk today!! Thanks for taking the whole time to get his energy out! So happy I found someone to help take care of my boy!!”
“My dog Leo loves Janet! She sent photons an update so I could enjoy an evening out. Will use her again in the future”
“Brittany did a great job communicating, making sure I knew how the dogs were doing, and taking good care of the girls. Thank you so much!!!”
“Very responsible, showed up to interview and walks on time. Sweet with NY baby. Accommodated to my schedule and needs. Will definitely use her again.”
“We love Savannah!!! When you're a crazy dog mom like I am, finding someone you can trust to take good care of your baby, especially an 80 lb pittie baby, is more than difficult. We're so lucky we found Savannah! Someone that loves dogs as much as she does is most certainly a diamond in the "ruff". As an owner, it's important that my pup is getting walks when I have to work late or have a family emergency. No matter how late notice, Savannah is there, as long as her schedule allows of course. I couldn't be happier with my experience; she goes above and beyond when she doesn't have to. Whether it's taking Leo for a little longer of a walk, to taking him for a visit to quarterdeck, to following my training regimen of giving a treat whenever Leo walks passed a dog to improve socialization, she can be trusted to give Leo an enjoyable time. I'm sure there are many other great walkers on Rover, but Leo and I feel more than fortunate to have the BEST walker. Thank you for all you do, Savannah! Love, Leo and his Human ?”

About: I first started volunteering at the animal shelter as a dog walker whilst I also got my first dog that I raised and trained myself and he has taught me everything. I worked at a doggy daycare, the animal shelter, and now at an animal hospital and love what I do. I’ve pet sat for my neighbors and volunteer friends and always give advice or match their needs for their pets. I’m very compassionate about dogs (and a side of cats) and I couldn’t imagine not being around them!

About: I have had Dogs most of my life. My wife and I have 3 now. Smalls, Indy, and Sadie. They get along with all other Dogs and are a big hit at the Dog park. I have never met a Dog I didn't love. Before I retired from the car business, customers would bring thier Dogs in just to see me (I had cookies)! I am very adept at all aspects of caring for Dogs. I am great will puppies all the way up to seniors. I have cared for my own seniors that I have had in the past, and have fostered Dogs also. I am semi retired (I operate an Airbnb), my wife is self employed and works from home so one of us will always be there. Your precious Doggos will be my focus while you are away. If caring for your Dogs at your home, I will treat your home like gold. I can even help with airport drop off and pick up (additional fee based upon driving distance). If our Airbnb isn't rented, I can care for your Dogs at that home, it has a HUGE yard! The yard at our residence is pretty good size too! Errand running or other services you might need are also possible. Again, we own 2 very nice homes in Port Charlotte, one is an Airbnb that, of not rented offers a boarding experience without our Dogs if yours don't get along with other Dogs? Are yours swimmers? Our Airbnb has a pool along with the gigantic fenced yard. Our 3 Doggos LOVE all other Dogs (and people), one of which is a Livestock Guardian breed. Smalls is his name, and he is instinctively protective. Smalls, Indy, and Sadie would love to take care of your precious fur kids!
