About: I love.... LOVE dogs. I have 2 fur babies myself, Peanut (Pomeranian) and Bear (maltipom). I have been dog sitting for years and go above and beyond to provide the animals I take care of the love, attention, and exercise they need! I am available nights and weekends and welcome other small dogs into my home for over night stays. I am able to take small dogs to the dog park off Henry. As for dog walking, I am open to taking any size dog or dogs. I will provide as many snuggles as necessary to make the dogs feel comfortable. I am extremely trustworthy and will treat your babies like I would treat my own! They deserve all sorts of special treatment while their parents are away.
“Kaylee must keep good notes of our specific requests. We are repeat customers and she seems to always remember specific instructions from prior visits and apply them moving forward. For example, “if other workers are in the home when you’re here, keep the dog collar on” or “always give the lunch medication after your walk.” Thanks, Kaylee for earning our trust by consistently doing a great job!”

About: I am 58 years old and have had pets since I was 5 - I grew up on a farm raising dairy cows, horses, dogs and cats. Most recently, I have dedicated my animal loving skills to the 4H Youth Dog Project, running the Florida State Fair Youth Dog Show for 20 years and training our youth and dogs through day camps, week long camps, and local weekly training. Over the years our house has kept many family friend's pets for weekends or weeks as needed. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter training obedience and manners class for newly adopted pets and owners. Now that our kids are grown, I have decided to work part time as a pet sitter so that you can enjoy your vacation or trip without any worry as to the loving care your family pet(s) will receive. I am self employed working part time from home, so my schedule is flexible, whether sitting for your pet in my home, your home, or just daily care. I have a fenced in side yard at my home for off leash potty time, and a nice neighborhood to walk in for exercise as needed.

“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! 🐾💛”
About: Hi! I began dog sitting in college as a way to make extra money on the side, but now it’s really become a lifestyle. I really do e joy being around our furry friends and giving the the utmost respect and treatment. I understand that having a pet is another member of the family, and they must be treated that way.. I can’t wait to meet my next friend! As a student pilot my days consist of training and studies, can provide care at all hours of the day. Can work weekends, and around job times. Very flexible. Like I mentioned above, I love animals. Animals should be treated respectfully, carefully, and with love. They are really special creatures so I plan to treat them that way.

There’s plenty of space in my office for them to lay near me while work as well.
“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!”

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:
- 91% 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.
