“Lyndsay was a godsend! She is exactly the animal-loving professional that we were seeking. She went above and beyond while taking care of our cat and dog, including grabbing mail, packages, and newspaper deliveries. She is warm, friendly, and nurturing to our animals. She was prompt and gave our pets the human touch they needed with us away. We received a daily update and photos and videos of our animals on every visit and I know they felt comfortable with her. Lyndsay is a strong communicator, asking clarification questions and thinking of every detail. I give Lyndsay my highest recommendation and she will be my first phone call the next time we need pet-sitting!”

About: I’ve loved cats and dogs my whole life, caring for pets since I was a child. For the past two years I’ve worked as a vet tech, combining that lifelong passion with hands-on medical care, and support for pets and their owners. My experience blends deep affection for animals with practical skills in their health and well‑being. I usually work at a vet clinic from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM with a lunch break at 12:00 PM. During my shift I check on the animals, feed and water them, and let them out. After work, I get home, the animals are free for the rest of the night. I prioritize maintaining the specific rhythm and comfort they’re used to at your home. I strictly follow your feeding schedules and medical routines, ensuring they have a dedicated, cozy space to retreat to whenever they need a nap. For dogs, this means plenty of structured walks and backyard playtime, while for cats, I provide vertical perches and dedicated one-on-one enrichment to satisfy their curiosity. Above all, I keep a close eye on their body language to ensure they feel secure and loved, and I’ll send you regular photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun and relaxation they’re having while you're away.
“Over the course of the eight days that Charles took care of my two dogs, and my bird, I received reports two times a day on how far they walked, see pictures and a detailed map of where they walked. Charles was highly responsive, even when I was halfway across the world on vacation. He gave words of encouragement about my trip and was glad to know that I came back safely. Upon my return, my dogs were super excited to see me, but they were very well taken care of. Would highly recommend Charles and the use of Rover as a way to make sure that your pets are cared for while you are away on vacation! I highly recommend Charles to take care of your babies will definitely do this again. Bailey, Fifi & Babu-thank you Mr. Charles!!!!!!❤️❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Punta Gorda
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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Punta Gorda 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
