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.
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.
“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: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. All sizes and breeds. I’ve taken dog training classes for my own personal pets. I’ve been caring for friends and neighbors dogs my whole adult life. 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.
“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!”

“Thanks so much for walking her. She was found as a stray and I think she thinks someone’s coming to take her away from us. She is a sweet pup. I will definitely be calling you to walk her again. Thanks again.”

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.
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.
About: I've owned dogs and other smaller pets most of my life! I've tended to and love both big dogs and little dogs. Old or young, big or small, I've got ya covered. I have availability during weekdays and minimal weekend hours. Drop-in visits and walks are my specialty! Need waste clean up in the yard? 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.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and currently have three: a 2yo Pitbull mix, a 2yo Morkie, and a 14yo Bichon. I’m experienced with all ages, from energetic pups to seniors needing gentle care. I’ll treat your pets like my own! I’m also comfortable with medication management as my own dogs take their own medication. I have a very flexible schedule and I can make time for your pets at a moments notice. I am in the Punta Gorda area so anywhere nearby is very convenient. I can also commute if you’re farther away! Every dog is different and has different needs. I take all precautions and provide care that best suits your furry friend! Since I have 3 dogs at home I want to make sure everyone gets along. A mix of play time together and separation for rest and relief. A dog’s home is with their person not a place. At your home I will be dedicated to helping your pup feel at home even when you’re not there.

This was our first experience with Rover and every reservation about seeking care for our pets from someone other than a trusted family/ friend was put at ease by Lauren. She was absolutely wonderful! We needed someone last minute for the Fourth of July week to care for our two dogs and she responded to our request so quickly, excited and willing to care for our boys. She instantly clicked with our dogs and she handled absolutely every obstacle while we were away. Lauren updated us with all the happenings of her drop ins and we loved the videos / pictures of our dogs enjoying theirselves! She absolutely made up for all the love they were missing out on while we were gone. Lauren definitely exceeded our expectations and I am so thankful! If you want someone trustworthy and able to handle all the dog silliness while you have a little get away we highly recommend her!
