Dog Walking in Punta Gorda Isles

About: I have provided care to all types of dogs for over 25 years. I also have quite a bit of care to elderly dogs especially those that need medications or assistance. I love walking dogs. I retired 4 yours ago. 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.

About: Hi friends! I’m Hailey—an animal lover with 10 years of experience caring for pets big and small. I’m also a veterinary assistant student, which means I bring both extra knowledge and a lot of heart to the care I give. Whether it’s walks, playtime, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved just like they would at home. You’ll always get updates and photos, so you know your furry, fuzzy and scaly family is doing great while you’re away. I currently have a leopard gecko & three amazing cats. I grew up with (at least) 5 dogs & 2 cats. While also having frogs, lizards, & guinea pigs. But that’s not all! I have experience with raccoons, squirrels, rabbits and even ducks! I have 3 years of volunteer experience at a vet clinic and currently work at a clinic. I help clip nails, brush teeth, administer medicine, prepare surgery rooms, walking & boarding, and many other things. Your pet is in great & loving hands! 👉 As a bonus: First-time Rover pet parents get $20 off their first booking when they use my code (HAILEYR61860)! I’d love to meet your pets and be their new favorite friend. 🐾 I am currently in Vet Assistant school Monday - Thursday from 8:30am -12:30 pm & I also currently work at a veterinary hospital in the afternoons, up to 5 days a week I absolutely still have time to hang out with your fur baby throughout the day, but unless asked to I will not be taking off work!! I will not be watching animals in my home to ensure the safety of your animal(s) and my own. Being in their home with things they are familiar with is a bonus to keeping them relaxed while you are away anyways! When first meeting your fur baby, I plan to take a slow approach until they are comfortable. Every animal has their own routine and I would hate to stray from that. I will be following their cues (and your notes) to keep them in their routine and as comfortable as possible!!

About: I’m newly retired and find I have time to offer to take care of your dog with care and dependability. Plenty of time for loving your fur baby so you can leave them with ease of mind. Newly retired with lots of time available including most holidays. I am home all day so potty breaks are not an issue or unusual feeding schedules. I have a clean, fairly quiet home and love to go for walks. I do have a weight restriction in my neighborhood. Dogs must be under 40 pounds. I also prefer one dog at a time.

About: My wife and I have found the greatest pleasure in raising and giving basic training to many of my own dogs as well as our friends dogs. I am currently retired and have one medium size dog in house (Salty). We have hosted friends dogs and have plenty of time to devote to walks and basic training. I will walk your dog as needed and will feed on schedule always keep fresh water in bowl. My dogs have always had a full bowl of food and fresh water with ice cubes. Food will be Limited to daily suggested cups of food per day per dogs size, NO table food, but I will feed at any owners suggestion.

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.

“We love Savannah!!! When you're a crazy dog mom like I am, finding someone you can trust to take good care of your baby, especially an 80 lb pittie baby, is more than difficult. We're so lucky we found Savannah! Someone that loves dogs as much as she does is most certainly a diamond in the "ruff". As an owner, it's important that my pup is getting walks when I have to work late or have a family emergency. No matter how late notice, Savannah is there, as long as her schedule allows of course. I couldn't be happier with my experience; she goes above and beyond when she doesn't have to. Whether it's taking Leo for a little longer of a walk, to taking him for a visit to quarterdeck, to following my training regimen of giving a treat whenever Leo walks passed a dog to improve socialization, she can be trusted to give Leo an enjoyable time. I'm sure there are many other great walkers on Rover, but Leo and I feel more than fortunate to have the BEST walker. Thank you for all you do, Savannah! Love, Leo and his Human ?”

About: 🐾 Our family has been proud dog owners for over 15 years. I have taken our dogs through professional training and have plenty of hands-on experience with pups of all sizes and personalities. Between our own dogs and our extended family’s, we’re comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and love treating every pet like part of the family. I am home most days and have a flexible schedule for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or evening snuggles, I am happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, cared for, and enjoy staying with us.

Its important to me that very dog feels comfortable and secure, whether they’re here for a short visit or a longer stay. Our environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly — plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. Every dog is treated like our own, with gentle care, structure, and lots of love so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

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.

“Christina did a fantastic job walking my Sheltie Abbie I will definitely use her in the future!”

“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 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.

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.

“Natalie is so good with my big German Shepherd. He can be a handful and she takes care of him easily and sweetly! Only their second walk and he was so excited to see her arrive.”

About: I’ve had my own pet for many years while at home with my parents and while married I cared for my own pet over 10 years! I am a mom, a grandmother and a lover of animals and an uncharted caretaker who will love and care for your pets as if they are my own. I will walk with them, play with them and administer whatever is needed as far as meds and their other daily needs. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pets. My schedule is flexible to schedule you at your convenience. I am available day or night and for overnight stays for long periods of time. I will make sure your pets feel loved and cared for in your home and will leave your home clean with your animals well cared for.

About: I grew up with two large dogs and immediately learned the amount or responsibility and care they required. Over the years I’ve adopted many different breeds and sizes of dogs such as boxers, poodle mixes, and sheep dogs. I’ve loved each of them with all my heart. I’ve also adopted and cared for several cats over the years such as my orange tabby cat Saffron and now my black and white tuxedo cat Malcolm. I am not currently working, as I am a new graduate PA taking a break before work. So am available to the animals and could use some extra company. My apartment complex has large dog park with plenty of room for your fur friend to run and play with my supervision. I will take them out once every 2 hours or as often as they need. I can also crate your dog if needed. I love to lounge around and read all day, so I am a huge cat lover as well. I do have a middle-aged tuxedo cat, Malcolm, with me; he gets along well with other animals.

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.

“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!”
