“Kaylee did such a fantastic job looking after my cat, Henry. He’s usually wary of new people, but from the photos she sent it looked like they quickly became friends. I would absolutely rebook Kaylee again. 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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any kind since i was around 13. I love them unconditionally, they bring happiness to everyone. I have my own dogs, bigger breeds, and occasionally dogsit for my sister when she’s out of town! this is my full time! so i have plenty of time to make it everywhere i need to be! i make this my top priority day in and day out! my dogs are free roam in the house, trained and well behaved. my cat is also free roam and is well behaved, and likes almost everyone! if your animals are crate trained, that’s fine! your house your rules! i always stick to what the owners prefer, like, etc. for their animal. i never go the route of sticking to my own rules, it’s not my animal, the owner knows best!
“Dee made going on vacation a little easier knowing my pups were well cared for. I have a motion web cam and reviewing the feed made me laugh. Dee spent time playing with each dog after they were fed. They seemed to have a good time. Hank seemed a little disappointed she didn't come by the first day we were back. Great sitter.”
About: I love animals as I have had about ten cats over the years and about four dogs. I have had pets since I was basically born. At one point I was looking into or was recommended by people to become a vet! I am at the moment typically free other than doing school work for college. I would be able to tend to animal needs pretty much anytime! I am often noted as attentive and disciplined, especially when it comes to others. For in home care I let pets do their thing (unless potting on things or breaking).
About: Have an animal with extra care needs? I got you covered! I have cared for several pets who have needed a little extra TLC and time! I am patient, understanding, and kind. Whatever your pet needs, I will be there! I am employed at a pet store so animals are literally my life. I have two cats of my own and I have 4 lizards! I have had family dogs and have been around many other pets. I often help take care of coworkers animal's while they are out of town or need a sitter! I ensure that the pet parents requests are heard, and taken seriously. I treat all animals as if they were my own. I provide above and beyond care to fit their physical and emotional needs. I treat pet parents with respect as well as their fur babies.
About: My life-long passion for animals led me to the wonderful world of pet sitting. As a dedicated cat lover, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family. I offer personalized drop-in visits and house sitting, ensuring your cat feels cozy, safe, and happy in their own space while you're away. I provide daily photo updates and am experienced with special diets and medications. I work from home so I have flexibility to incorporate plenty of play time breaks as well as cuddles throughout the day. I enjoy keeping pets fully engaged and active as much as possible! I am focused on maintaining a safe, comfortable environment for your pet either at your home or mine. I make sure the floors are kept free of any objects which could be a hazard and that pets are in a safely confined area.
About: I have been dog sitting all of my adult life, a variety of ages. Most of my experience is with senior dogs, my family dog included (16 year old cocker spaniel). I have taken dog body language courses at my local shelter to help me be more aware of how dog communicate with people and other dogs. This knowledge allows me to keep your dog safe and comfortable. High need dogs are always welcome and if your note to your dog watcher is a booklet I'm your girl! The more I know about your dog the better care I can provide so information is always welcome! My job is to provide care, keep your dog on their schedule and maintain the training you worked hard to provide your dog with. Looking forward to helping care for your furry family! I am a RN so my schedule is flexible, as long as i have a few days notice I can work with your schedule and we can figure out a plan for your pet! When providing care to your pet I will be present and active with them. I usually provide update pictures so you know they are doing okay and to provide peace of mind. Any specific care instructions provided i will be happy to follow, you need me to sit with them while they eat no problem! I have to sing them a so g before I put their food down, Im happy to! No ask is too much!
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to other furry, feathered, and even scaly friends, I’ve spent my whole life making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Being around animals brings me joy, and I take pride in treating each one as if they were my own. My passion for animals isn’t just a hobby it’s something I want to continue doing for years to come, giving every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I don’t have a job so I think this will be a great starter job to start with since I love animals and been around them my whole life I have a dog she is two years old and she loves to run and play outside and inside and she loves people. She sleeps in her bed and in mine. She loves her alone time but also wants attention and she always gets it.
About: I have loved caring for animals since I was a child. Walking and feeding our German Shepherd was my favorite part of the day. We also had a Chow and one feline. Training Rocky the rottweiler to remain calm while bunnies passed through the yard is my biggest accomplishment, thus far. I love working with animals and their energy. On Thursday morning I teach guided Meditation but make my own schedule other than that. I'm up early to watch the sun rise and greet all the neighbors and pups. Animals prefer and are most comfortable being in their own environment with the scent of loved ones surrounding them. I respect their boundaries and connect with their energy softly and respectfully.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my commitment to providing personalized and attentive care tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. I prioritize building a strong bond with your furry friends, ensuring they feel safe and loved in your absence. My experience in animal behavior allows me to recognize and respond to their emotions and preferences. I’m not currently working anywhere else so I will have plenty of time with your pets! Dedicating my full attention to keeping them safe is my only concern. I offer regular updates through photos and messages , so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I will ask for their full routine so I can insure they transition as comfortable as possible with someone new. I have a strong passion and love for all fur babies.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been dog sitting for over 10 years now. I’ve taken care of dogs as small as a toy poodle and as big as a mastiff, any and all furry friends are welcome! My goal one day is to own/foster many many dogs but until the time comes I’m happy taking care of yours :) Currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! Bringing them to work with me is also an option My home is a safe space for all pets! I have enough space indoors and outdoors for them to explore as well as loving a fur friend to cuddle up with at the end of the day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 636 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Punta Gorda Isles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
