“Monica is incredible! We were worried about our dog’s resource aggregation around other dogs. Monica made sure all the dogs were safe and even managed to give our dog treats with the other dogs with no incidents. All the pictures she sent showed how happy our Bella was being around other dogs. We are amazed at how great Bella’s stay was with Monica!!!!! We highly recommend her for safe and happy visits or long stays. Bella was there for 11 nights. She was so happy that we were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. Thank you Monica for being such a perfect standin Mom to our girl!!!”
“Floyd and his wife did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our Rosy. They provided daily updates and pictures which were so appreciated. Their home is clean and has a great fenced in yard. Rosy seemed so happy there and may have been happy to stay there forever ? Highly recommend!”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
“Marcela is such a gift to the pet community and our family! My dog is not the easiest, he has lots of quirks, and Marcela truly understood his needs and eased my anxieties. The videos she shared with me daily looked like my pup was in a slice of heaven on earth. So grateful to know I have a safe place that I can trust to leave my dog; a place he enjoys as well! Thanks so much, Marcela!!”
“We had a great experience with Jennifer Watching our 2 senior dogs. I received lots of photos and a video of them. They seemed so content. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone needing to board their pets with her!!”
“Angela took care of Lucky on very short notice and I’m so grateful she was able to help. She sent pictures and updates, made sure he was fed, and got him out for walks. Communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear Lucky was in good hands. I’d absolutely book with Angela again!”
“Arrow had a wonderful stay at Kimber’s I received daily photos and videos of Arrow doing his favorite things! Kimber’s home is beautiful inside and out! I highly recommend! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Tara is a saint! I don’t know what I’d do without her! She’s watched my 2 doodles several times, but this time she literally came and picked them up spur of the moment when I was sick! Shes the best and a life saver”
“Jacqueline was great! She took my dog and cat on very short notice for a few days, and they had a wonderful time. She gave them lots of attention and checked in every day with pictures and updates.”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She knows dogs well and is super friendly and compassionate. I trusted her completely with my 3 fur babies while I flew home for the holidays. She even gave them all stockings with a toy, treat and blanket in them😊 So sweet! She kept me updated always with texts and pictures and I never was worried my whole trip. Her children are so sweet and loved on my fur kids and I was so glad everyone became good friends. I 100% recommend booking with Taylor if you are in need of fantastic sitter in Port Charlotte!”
“My fur baby is a diabetic and her sugar drop very low in the middle of the night and she heard her thrashing around and saved her by giving her honey and bringing her sugar back up. Took awhile for her to get back to normal, but she stayed by her side and then put her in her room for the rest of the stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!❤️”
“Robin made an instant connection with our pup Stella. We were sent photos of their time together and Stella was very happy. We highly recommend Robin to watch your fur baby, they’ll be in good hands.”
About: Dogs have always been part of our life and out here on the farm they are family members.

“Awesome stay for my Loki. Made new friends! And Ava was so awesome to take him with literally no notice on Christmas Eve. We will be seeing her again right Loki? He says rrrwa which means, actually i dont know what that means but hes smiling.”
About: I’ve been handling and caring for pets, since I was 9 years old. I can’t imagine my life without a pet. I love to interact and teach animals new things. Animals are amazing. I have four children, all whom will be in the home, so your pet must like children and lots of love. I also have two small dogs, mya and khloe who love to play and meet new friends! I have a fenced in back yard, lots of room to run and play. No dog will be left out unattended. I’m available full time. I am currently a stay at home mom. I work from home and run a small business. Your pet will never be alone. I have a fenced in backyard. Plenty of room to run, play and potty. I have extra crates for night time if preferred. I only crate dogs if I need to leave the house, just for safety and security while I’m gone or at feeding times, if I’m housing multiple dogs.
“When we met Floyd and Connie for the meet and greet with our Maxi, we could tell Maxi would be in good hands and we were right. Maxi had a great time at doggy day care with them; we could tell from the pics Floyd sent throughout the day. We will definitely be repeat clients.”
“We were visiting the area for my son's golf tournament. When we arrived at our "pet-friendly" vacation rental home, we were told that the owner does not allow pets to be left alone in the home AT ALL. We were so flustered and worried we wouldn't be able to leave the house to watch our son. Luckily, Shelley made this terrible inconvenience manageable by allowing us to drop off our dog at her home for a few hours each day while we watched our son's tournament. Shelley was super responsive, even very late in the evening, and cared for our dog as if it were her own. I would absolutely recommend Shelley to anyone and will happily re-book when we are in the area. Thank you so much, Shelley!”
“Onyx had a great time staying with Marcela. Great property for him to have the opportunity to run and then a comfy couch to chill. Marcela gave Onyx many cuddles. Onyx can’t wait to come back!”
“Jennifer was great. Very sweet and gentle girl. First time for our 15 year old dog with a sitter. She kept the pictures and videos coming all day, putting our minds at ease. The location was nice and her home is immaculately clean. We were able to spend a very enjoyable whole day away from our rental.”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hattie. She sent pictures of her periodically during playtime and walks. I would highly recommend her for doggy daycare!”
“Teri is wonderful. She is one of the best sitters I have found on Rover. She was quick to respond, very friendly, and sweet and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. She has a good heart, I can tell. Her husband, Ken enjoyed having Bella there, too. He talked to her and gave her treats. He used to have a Bella. They said, Bella is welcome back anytime. Even said that she would be Bella's Grandma #2! They treated her like she was their own. We will be going back, we are actually going back today for day camp and we will be boarding with her. We love our Bella and will not leave her with just anyone. With them, we do not have to worry about her at all. We are originally from Tennessee and still have family there. So, I like to have several people that I can rely on to watch Bella, just in case we have a family emergency. We rescued that loan when she was 5 months old and she has been socializing since she is a four-year-old Goldendoodle, and she has a lot of energy so, she does well with going to day camp twice a week, sometimes three times. Teri will definitely be my go to! It's rate them a 10 🌟, if I could. Thank y'all so much!!”
About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. I do not just watch them, I connect with them! I genuinely care for them and treat them like they matter, because they do. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust me to show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely while staying attentive to how your pet is feeling. In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. **I do not have pets of my own, but my roommates have pets in the other part of the home. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred, using multi-barrier safety measures.
“Layla has a wonderful experience with Kimber. Layla has some special needs and Kimber was attentive a loving. Layla was so happy when I picked her up. Tha k you Kimber!!”
“Angela and her daughter were wonderful with my dog Lily. Lily is very shy when she first meets someone and they were so gentle with her, and took the time to get to know her. By the time I got back to pick Lily up, Lily was best friends with Angela and her daughter. Angela sent me photos and kept me posted on how Lily was doing. It was a wonderful experience! Thank you for taking care of Lily!”
“Ana was amazing! We met her a couple days before and she and her dog Lex immediately connected with our pup, and then this morning when we went to drop our pup off, she happily trotted in the house to meet Lex instead of freaking out like she normally does when we leave her! She had a great day, we got a bunch of pictures, and she was clearly very happy when we picked her up. Very glad to have found Ana!”

“Bryanna took wonderful care of Gilda, my 10 month old English Cocker Spaniel, for two days this week. Bryanna communicated extremely well. She provides secure indoor and outdoor space, and lots of play activities. After the first day, Gilda was extremely eager to return to Bryanna’s care for the second day. And, after the second day, Gilda was exhausted from 2 straight days of play and activities. I will book again with Bryanna, and recommend that you book with her too. Have fun in Punta Gorda, while knowing your precious fur baby is being well cared for by Bryanna.”

About: My husband & I had a wonderful time with our beloved dogs over the past 16 years. Unfortunately our two seniors recently passed. Both of us grew up with dogs and can’t imagine a life without them, which means we have lots of love and time to give to your furrbabies. We just adopted a very sweet puppy. Peppa does not bark and gets along very well with other dogs. She is very gentle, and sometimes shy, but also very nosy and can’t wait to play with her new friends. We will make sure to do anything we can to make your Puppies as comfortable and happy as our Peppa during their stay with us. We only take one client at the time and up to 3 dogs max from the same household. 🐾 I am home 24/7, which means your furrbaby would never be alone and I can always make sure your pet is happy, loved and safe.

We have used Rover frequently our selves in the past for our doggies, so we know how important it is to know, that your puppy is happy and safe while you are away. We will update with pictures and videos so you can relax and do not have to worry.

About: Hello animal enthusiasts! My name is Katie and I have worked with animals in a multitude of settings. Jane Goodall (Primatologist) was always an idol of mine. As I grew up in a household loving my dogs, cats, and birds I envisioned working in Africa with chimpanzees. While my vision didn't manifest exactly the way I had fathomed, I still ended up working with baboons in Africa (2017). Along the way, I was an outdoor educator for several years working with all sorts of reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and invertebrates. I have been attracted to all types of animals since the day I was born. As a science teacher (8 years), I kept corals and saved many animals in the outdoor environment near our school (from squirrels to birds and much more). My husband and I have just moved from Chicago, IL to Florida. We have a love for adventure and curiosity for the great outdoors. We are happily married with our Cockatiel (Sunny) and Umbrella Cockatoo (Jack). I can't wait to meet you and love your pets for eternity! Along with my elementary education degree, I studied zoology. So, with that being stated, I'm here in Florida ready to meet new people, love your pets, teach, adventure, and learn all about Florida ecology! Let's connect! I'm currently reinventing my life/schedule after just recently moving from Chicago, IL this year and leaving my middle school science teaching position. I plan on working for a nature center and substitute teaching while I continue improving my writing career. As of right now, I have an open schedule until the end of August. I will be changing my availability in September. Currently, we do not have a fenced in yard for your pet but I can surely take him/her out with their leash in our vast open space! If your dog loves the hose, we have access to this as well. Who doesn't love a nice spray during the hot summer? Your pet will have 24 hour access to this yard, cozy home, and the couch or bed! We live about 5 minutes from the Audubon Pennington Park where we love to take nature walks. I'm sure your dog wouldn't mind a nature walk too! We truly do enjoy hosting neighborhood pets as one of our very own family members. Your pet will receive unconditional love, constant cuddles, outdoor time, and food/water the way you prefer it! At night time, they can choose from our warm bed or their very own cozy dog bed. Your pet is top priority and we want to provide the best experience for them so that they are happy to come back and play! With that being said, I would love to work with you to provide whatever it is you and your pet need. Thanks and can't wait to touch base!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all different breeds for over 20 years starting with family, friends and neighborhood dogs when I was around 10. I’ve personally owned Pitbulls, Great Danes,Rottweilers, Schnauzers and Malteses. I currently have 2 cats so I am even comfortable with them! But at the end of the day I’m comfortable with all animals. Feeding, walking, bathing and just everyday care is not a problem for me! I currently work full-time but I am off work at 3 pm everyday so my whole afternoon is available. My off days are Sunday and Tuesday which I am completely available for. I know it’s hot here in southwest Florida and your pets care and safety in this hot sun is the most important for me! I know how hard it can be on their paws and how quickly some breeds can overheat.

About: I have been working with pets since 2023! I have done everything from walking dogs at the Humane Society to pet sitting to working at my current job which is a Pet boarding facility! I love animals and am so excited to get to know your pets! I work part time at a dog boarding facility so I’m available most weekends and most weekdays to walk dogs and do drop ins! I have experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I love all breeds as well as all cats! Pets are my passion and I’d love to meet your pets!
About: What sets me apart is the deep-rooted experience and love I have for animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, from walking neighborhood pups to helping with family pets. I’ve also fostered dogs, which taught me how to care for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs—from playful puppies to more reserved or nervous dogs. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or extra patience and comfort, I provide care that’s attentive, loving, and tailored to them. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I'm currently working a full time internship, 9-5 pm during the weekdays. I'm available after 5pm for evening care/walks, and have more availability on the weekends! In my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I stick closely to their normal routines—mealtimes, walk schedules, playtime, and any special care instructions—so they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it's keeping things tidy, giving lots of affection, or making sure they get plenty of exercise, I’m all about giving personalized care that matches each pet’s needs. Communication is important to me too, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos!
About: Creating new memories with new fur babies and creating a bond that will become strong. Currently looking into to becoming a vet assistant. Reach out with any questions and I will be happy to answer. I’m a fur momma to 3 I am currently available any day of the week from 8:30-midnight. Weekends included. Would love to help you in any way I can. I can easily accommodate you at your residence, as I have many years of love and experience for your pet’s needs. Would love to help
About: Hi! We’re a sibling team who loves caring for pets and treating them like family. This account is now shared between us, but my sister Kathy will be the primary caregiver and will be handling most of the communication, bookings, and day-to-day services. We both have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From long walks and playtime to feeding routines and giving lots of attention, we understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. We’re comfortable following specific instructions to make sure your pet stays happy, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away. My sister, who you’ll be mainly interacting with, is reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. She has hands-on experience with pet sitting, walking, and making sure pets feel comfortable in new situations. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine, she’s got it covered. We know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, so we’re committed to clear communication, updates, and giving you peace of mind. I am a full time nursing student at the moment. I have quite a busy schedule but I am always free to give my time for dogs and cats because they bring me so much joy. I am mostly free on weekends but I do offer a full Thursday as well. For Monday’s, I have Zoom meetings every week from 4:30pm-6:45pm so if that’s something I can work on while being with your pets, it works out! I can offer to take your pets for walks, or simply play with them in the yard, or just lay around and cuddle with them if they are the more relaxed kinds. I am not offering boarding at the moment, so any services I am offering, it will be held at your place set by your rules!
About: Since the day I was born we’ve had four legged friends running around, so I consider myself somewhat of a dog whisperer! My love for our puppy pals extends to pets of all sizes. I have experience with fur babies from 2 pounds to 150 pounds, and I've been watching pups for about 9 years now! We all know every dog is different with different needs and I’m here to cater to all of them! If you have an adventurous energetic excited baby, a tired sleepy couch potato, or maybe right in the middle, I’m the girl for you. I’m a proud mama of a German Shepard, Basenji pup, and 2 kitties, so rest assured your babes will be treated like my very own!! ❤️ I am a part-time student at FGCU with lots of time for scheduled walks, impromptu sitting, or even a just a quick visit to go potty. When it comes to care, your instructions are what counts! I am an excellent leash handler and schedule follower, whether its a walk or a stay in home I am dedicated to creating a safe and comfortable environment for you and your fur babies!
About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.
About: I've taken care of pets most of my life. I am starting to gain expert/professional experience. I absolutely appreciate and love time spent with animals of all sorts I have plenty of time and an open schedule. As I am new to Rover, I am excited to start this journey. I look forward to serving your family! I have a fenced in yard. I can crate your pet. I will spoil your furr baby; as long as you're happy with doing so.
About: I have taken care of a dog and cat my whole life and currently I only have 1 cat who is my baby, Falafel. She is 6 months old. I have my degree in marketing and work from home so I can tend to your babies and I am flexible. I work from home so I have a lot of spare time throughout the day. I have my own car and live by a park that I take your babies to. I am pretty flexible when it comes to hours as I do not have any human children or a partner. I would love to spoil your pups! I have tons of grass and areas to go walking in my area and I know exactly what to do to keep your dogs happy and entertained! I have treats here as well.

“Monica is incredible! We were worried about our dog’s resource aggregation around other dogs. Monica made sure all the dogs were safe and even managed to give our dog treats with the other dogs with no incidents. All the pictures she sent showed how happy our Bella was being around other dogs. We are amazed at how great Bella’s stay was with Monica!!!!! We highly recommend her for safe and happy visits or long stays. Bella was there for 11 nights. She was so happy that we were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. Thank you Monica for being such a perfect standin Mom to our girl!!!”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
“Marcela is such a gift to the pet community and our family! My dog is not the easiest, he has lots of quirks, and Marcela truly understood his needs and eased my anxieties. The videos she shared with me daily looked like my pup was in a slice of heaven on earth. So grateful to know I have a safe place that I can trust to leave my dog; a place he enjoys as well! Thanks so much, Marcela!!”
“We had a great experience with Jennifer Watching our 2 senior dogs. I received lots of photos and a video of them. They seemed so content. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone needing to board their pets with her!!”

“Tara is a saint! I don’t know what I’d do without her! She’s watched my 2 doodles several times, but this time she literally came and picked them up spur of the moment when I was sick! Shes the best and a life saver”
“Jacqueline was great! She took my dog and cat on very short notice for a few days, and they had a wonderful time. She gave them lots of attention and checked in every day with pictures and updates.”
“Finn really seemed to have a great time at Morgan’s! She sent plenty of pictures and updates. He was able to get out and stretch his LONG legs! We will definitely be using Morgan again!”
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’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of free time to watch your pets, play with them, walk them, and feed them. They will be well cared for. 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.
“Shawna and her family were so great with Fusilli! We will definitely be bringing our dog back again! They have tons of space for your family pet to run around and have a great time!”
“April 23 - 23, 2026 Once again, Wayne's dog sitting was on point!! I received daily updates via pictures of how my boy, Bear, was doing. Like I said before, I would highly recommend Wayne as a perfect dog sitter. Wayne has officially become my go-to dog sitter. Thanks again.”
“My pup’s tail wagged with excitement when she recognized she was at Lana’s! Knowing that she was getting lots of snuggles and in a safe and comfortable home while we were away made leaving her for seven days a whole lots easier. She loves having the company of other dogs too! Ty”
About: Dogs have always been part of our life and out here on the farm they are family members. We are currently on our own training journey with our newest bloodhound as she is becoming SAR certified. Always movement and activities going on out at the farm. I typically feed the dogs early morning around 7am and again around 7pm. Dogs have over an acre to run with a mini pool and large air conditioned shed outfitted with a couch and dog beds. Less like boarding and more like doggie vacation. Will follow owners requests for care. Photo updates will be provided daily. Large fenced dog specific area. Dog home has camera for 24 hour monitoring. Can crate inside overnight if requested. Dogs are fed separately.
“Excellent! Brittany and her family were great! I was really happy and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Communication was easy and flexible. I loved receiving daily updates and photos. Would recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
