I can swing by just for that or tack it on to a walk at a small increase. Send me a message and we can tailor your service. I have room for crates and a fenced yard if needed. I'm someone else's home I'm happy to adapt to the owners needs and what is available for them.
“Haley was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, trustworthy, and kind to my dog. She always took him for the full amount of walk time and was great about letting me know if he went to the bathroom. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I've taken care of bunnies, parrots, chickens, dogs, cats, and turtles. I will always make sure that your pet is well cared for and loved. I’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of free time to watch your pets, play with them, walk them, and feed them. They will be well cared for. I have a small part of my yard fenced but there’s plenty of space for your pets to run around. I have a 4 chickens that roam around but I will lock them up if needed and I have a small senior dog.

I’m currently a driver that makes my own schedule so I am available to fit in your schedule for caring for your pet. I’m very energetic to keep up with your pet! I am very centrally located in the Charlotte county. Easy to reach and be available for when your pet needs attention. Always have a positive attitude even with the more difficult breeds.
About: I've grown up my whole life with many, many farm animals including dogs and cats. I always loved the pets the most and I can't wait to meet your's!

About: I have 3 dachshunds at home. Two are seniors and one is a puppy. I also cared for my senior cat up until she was 17. 🤍 My animals are my babies. At home, I am described as a helicopter parent...(always hovering) making sure they are happy & safe. I have pet experience with medical conditions such as IVDD, diabetes, cushings, asthma, etc. I am familiar with all of the poisonous plants, foods, toxins in your home and dangerous wildlife in our area. I take the safety of your baby seriously, just as if they were my own. I am new to creating a Rover profile, but not new to pet sitting. I've been watching friends, family & neighbor's fur kids since I was in high school. work from home as a social media manager, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I rarely am ever out of town (away from my kids)- so more than likely I can look after your kids! 🐾🐶🐱 I like to treat animals as if they were my own. How would I want a sitter to be with my baby? Kind, patient, fun, and always safe. I don't mind texting check-in photos or a short summary of my visit. I am easy to communicate with and will be happy to keep a routine and do my best to follow instructions for your kids.
About: I’ve owned large and small dogs all my life. I’ve also taken care of my friend’s dogs the last few years while they traveled. My dog could use some other doggie friends too. I work from home so I’m able to have dogs stay with me. I walk the dogs twice a day plus time outside in the yard. I have a fenced yard, plenty of toys and my dog to keep your pets company. There’s plenty of space in my office for them to lay near me while work as well.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Punta Gorda is $20

Everything went absolutely wonderful with Alexandria! She took the time to come over ahead of the scheduled walks to meet Snickers, which meant so much to me. Snickers liked her right away, and I could tell she felt comfortable and at ease. Alexandria was always on time, incredibly patient, and let Snickers set the pace for each walk. She was very attentive and intuitive—she knew exactly when Snickers was getting too warm and ready to head back inside, which gave me so much peace of mind. I also loved receiving pictures every day—it truly made my day and reassured me that Snickers was happy and well cared for. Alexandria is kind, reliable, thoughtful, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pet. I will absolutely be using her again! 🐾💛
our dog warmed up to Mike right away, and remained happy whenever he was with him. Mike looked out for the well-being of our dog, by adjusting the time of day for Walking him (to be a little cooler), and also assured that timely water breaks were available. Great knowledge of dogs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Punta Gorda on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Punta Gorda. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Punta Gorda.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Punta Gorda. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
