“Angela is terrific and very flexible. I had to adjust my scheduled visits on short notice due to a change in my travel plans. Angela was extremely accommodating and worked with me to get the coverage I needed. She is a warm and caring woman and I have complete confidence that she will care for my pets as if they were her own. Thank you.”

About: I have had more than 15 years experience taking care of dogs, cats, and bunnies. I enjoy taking care of animals because they are just like babies, they need extra love and attention because they’re not always able to communicate their needs. So one of my greatest passions is making sure that every animal I interact with in any way feels loved, safe and happy! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for same day visits or walks whenever needed. I can also come for multiple visits, give them any oral medications and anything else that may be helpful to you and your fur baby. I will be happy to care for your fur babies where they are most comfortable in their own home/environment. I’m very communicative so you will always know how your pets are doing and you will always be able to reach me at any time.

Pets in my care are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I’m able to accommodate regular routines, feedings, and any special needs, and I’m available for daytime care, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce new pets slowly and thoughtfully to ensure everyone is comfortable. I closely supervise interactions, follow each pet’s routine, and can crate your dog if needed. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

Kaylee was absolutely amazing! My cat took to her so well... and she made sure to give her all the attention she wanted each day :) She followed instructions perfectly and I felt happy that my cat was so well looked after and happy while I was away. I will definitely be booking Kaylee again!
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Punta Gorda stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Punta Gorda. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
