“Angela is wonderful. My kittens hid, but she checked everything that I requested to ensure litter was cleaned, water and food filled, and treats provided. She did an amazing job making me feel at ease on our vacation and ensuring the kittens were doing good. We will definitely book with Angela again!”
“Liz was GREAT! The special attention she gave my pet was awesome. She was professional and on time always. I will be contacting her in the future for care. I really cant say enough about how good she was! THANKS LIZ!”
“Both my dogs loved Kaylee. I had her drop in for an hour each time while I was away for a full day. Kaylee was ontime each time and stayed more than the required time. Dinner was fed and the pups had fun playing. I even received lots of photos! I will definitely call upon Kaylee again. I received feedback from people working on my house while I was gone that Kaylee was good and I was lucky to find her! I agree!”

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 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.
“We hired Channing to watch our two kitties for a week while we were away. She stopped by for every visit right on schedule and sent adorable photos with a report every time. She eased our worry and took great care of our animals. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Channing for your next Rover watch! 😊”
“First time using rover and of course I was so nervous but omg Brittany was amazing! She cared for our fur babies so well. She kept me updated and sent me pictures. She was so flexible easy to work with. You’re in great hands with Brittany.”
“Jennifer was available last minute for drop in visits with my two dogs and I am so glad to have found her. She took photos of my “boys” and let me know everything was fine. Communication was great.”
“Lyndsay was a godsend! She is exactly the animal-loving professional that we were seeking. She went above and beyond while taking care of our cat and dog, including grabbing mail, packages, and newspaper deliveries. She is warm, friendly, and nurturing to our animals. She was prompt and gave our pets the human touch they needed with us away. We received a daily update and photos and videos of our animals on every visit and I know they felt comfortable with her. Lyndsay is a strong communicator, asking clarification questions and thinking of every detail. I give Lyndsay my highest recommendation and she will be my first phone call the next time we need pet-sitting!”
“I felt relieved to have Lizzy providing care and companionship with my dogs. My dogs have quirks but didn’t phase her. Accepted, worked with it, and the dogs were well cared for. Dogs and I would choose her again.”
“Eni did a great job stopping in to take care of my Cavalier king Charles spaniel Winnie. I worked the polls for 4 days which were 14 and 15 hours a day with not being allowed to leave the polling station. She came twice a day to let her out, feed and show her some love. I was pleased with the text reports of the visits and was not worried. I would highly recomend Eni to anyone who needs her service.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Punta Gorda on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of August 2026, there are 1,377 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Punta Gorda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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
- 95% 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 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.
