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.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I am passionate about providing loving, attentive care for your furry friends. I have experience training puppies with basic commands and can accommodate any dietary or medical needs. As a proud pet owner myself, I understand the importance of safety, patience, and attention to detail. Your pet will not only be cared for but will also have a playmate and a trusted friend. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels comfortable, happy, and secure during their stay. I also love sending as many pictures and videos as possible to help put you at ease. I work during the week and sometimes on weekends, but I can come home during the day to take your pet out if needed. I am only away for a few hours each day, ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Your furry friend will always be a priority and receive the love and supervision they need. Safety is my top priority. My own dog is my baby boy, and I treat all pets like family—with love, care, and attention. I always ensure your pet's safety and well-being, providing a secure and nurturing environment during their stay. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring hands.

“Ash is the very best! She came in and handled Maui as we asked. She played, groomed and sat with Maui. She was kind, honest, respectful. Experienced in handling Large dogs. I would recommend Ash to anyone! This was our first time leaving our Belgian Malinos with someone!”


About: I have volunteered for years at animal rescues. I am well experienced in pet care, especially good at giving medication. I'm caring, loving and attentive. I have a six year old daughter who will not be caring for your pets, but is very respectful, well behaved, gentle and loving towards animals. I am self employed from home so I will always be around. I have one six year old girl who is well behaved and very loving and respectful of pets. I care for them in my home, which is cat friendly and clean. No outdoors for cats. I am always home so they'll never feel lonely.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My dream was to be a veterinarian when I grew up. My life unfortunately did not go that path but my passion for animals has never changed. I have a 14 year old Chihuahua who is the center of my world. Anywhere I go he loves to go too. I think he might have more human friends than me! I love all dogs, all breeds. I can’t help but make friends with every dog I see. They are not just an animal they’re heartbeats covered in fur. I just moved to Punta Gorda two months ago, so I’m getting familiar with the area. I am currently not working. My schedule is pretty much open every day. I have a pretty big backyard that is partially fenced. It’s also really nice that I only have a couple neighbors so it’s not a well travel road. It’s nice and quiet. Plus my dog loves other dogs so it would be so fun for him to have a friend. I will always make sure that your pet is safe and must take precaution, especially in the heat to make sure they are not overheated but still getting lots of love.

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a baby. My family has always had a dog in the home. We have had a Boarder Collie, German Shepherds, Labs and mixed pups. I have always been very loving with my pets and have always trained them to not be loud except in dangerous situations. I love to just spend time, walk, and play catch with dogs. Right now we are super busy with sports and school but I stay at home so I’m available most of the time. I am available during the weekends and will be able to have a dog at our home or can come to your home. Whatever makes your dog happiest! I have a huge fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to run around and play. I do spray for bugs and ants so that isn’t an issue. I do have lizards that our puppies love to chase. I do have a pond in our backyard but we have a fence. The dogs like to watch the birds and bunnies. I do pick up doggy duties right after so don’t worry about your buddy trying to eat others. I know some dogs do that. YUCK! I do have older children that love all pets, however I will always be 100% responsible your pets.

“Tom is my hero! He came in last minute and took care of everything perfectly. His communication is great, he is so friendly to my cats, and he is just an awesome person. Thank you Tom!!”


“Savannah was wonderful with my little Maltese who is pretty timid. She was very easy to communicate with and sent me daily updates while I was away. She put me at ease knowing my dog was in good hands!”

About: I bring warmth, patience, and years of hands-on experience with dogs of all types. Having grown up with a dog and cared for many since moving to the U.S., I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and ensure each dog feels at ease, loved, and cared for—whether it’s their first stay or they’re a regular guest. From playful pups to older, more relaxed dogs, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel at home. I also stay in close contact with owners, sending updates and photos so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. I decided to become a full-time dog sitter. So I have plenty of time to take care of your animal's needs. If he needs exercise, snuggles, or extra attention I'm here for them🤗. I have a dog-friendly house when he/she is alone they can sleep on the couch or in his bed. If your fur baby needs to be walked I can go and take him out long walks or short. Nearby in my community we have a dog park as well. Whatever you need in a dog sitter I'm here for your needs.

“Max and Ruby, our two golden retrievers, loved 💕Ellen! She has such a calming way with animals and they warmed right up to her. We had a quick trip and thought it would be best to keep with the dogs in our home and in their routine. Ellen came over several times to feed, let them out and even played catch! She was very reliable and always on time. Max and Ruby were relaxed and happy when we returned home!”


“Alex really came through for me when another sitter dropped out last minute. He's flexible, communicative, and you can tell he really cares about the animals. My little dude wasn't as stressed as he normally is when I come home from a trip. Definitely recommend.”


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 had cats and dogs since I can remember! Outside of my own personal pets, I’ve dog and cat sit many times including feeding, walking, washing and more. I also fostered cats and kittens through the Watauga Humane Society’s foster program where administered medications. I am available everyday to take care of your furry friends! Whether it be a walk or drop-in visit I am here for their needs. I always ensure doors are closed behind me so no one can make an escape. I also always like to play interactively with animals, not just flinging around a feather stick, to make sure they get the proper engagement they need.

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.

Payge S.
“Payge has been such a wonderful caregiver for our two kitties. We originally found her to care for our 8 year old son. She is trustworthy, caring and dependable. She has become part of the family and we can call her anytime and she is readily available for us when we need her. When caring for our fur babies she sends picture updates daily and spends a good amount of time with them. She follows instructions on feeding and caring for them without question. We highly recommend her to everyone we know!!! She’s Awesome!!!”

Angela M.
“Angela has cared for my Cinnamon (large male indoor tabby) on several occasions. She has volunteered at various pet rescue shelters throughout the years and treats pets like part of her family. Angela is a responsible, loving and affectionate caregiver that anyone would be happy with the service she provides their pet.”


Brittany H.
“As my work continued to require my travels on a more and more frequent basis, I realized that I needed to find a responsible individual to care for my (extremely finicky) cat. This is not something I'd ever had to do in the past and I was apprehensive about the idea of entrusting my space and my pet to a stranger. As soon as I met Brittany, I could see that here was a person with a genuine love for - and connection with - all animals. Indeed, even my normally shy and skittish cat went right to her after only a few minutes. Brittany is a great communicator as well. She would check in regularly with me and always made sure to contact me if she had a question. I will say that I am very particular about who I allow into my home. However it was clear that she had a lot of experience working for people with high expectations, and she will continue to be my "go-to" for the foreseeable future.”

Rachel G.
“Rachel is the biggest animal lover I know, she has taken care of my dogs and lizard several times and keeps them happy.

Tony F.Star Sitter
“Tony currently has an elderly lab named Abby who has had some recent health issues. Tony has cared for her related to those issues in an impressive manner. He is always looking for ways to keep her as comfortable as possible via vet care, adjustments at home, buying booties after seeing she was dragging a leg and injured paws. He has helped me with my elderly dogs and cats with extreme care and interest in understanding their needs. He rescues frogs from his pool! Very caring, intuitive to the animals needs. He will make sure that he understands what the dog/cat animal needs are, follow instructions accurately. He is reliable, responsible.”
