“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!”
“Monica gave me daily updates with pictures of my pup. I trusted that her yard was secure and her pups got along well with mine. She is very professional. I look forward to having her sit for us again.”
“Marcela was wonderful taking care of our 2 dogs for 10 days! We hate to leave them that long, but she provided great care and sent pictures/videos every day of them enjoy enjoying their stay there, which includes exercise in her large yard and rides on her golf cart. Thank you, Marcela.”
“Floyd and Connie are so friendly to us and our doggies. Fergie loves when she stays over there and misses them when she leaves! Floyd and Connie do a great job sending pictures and updating us.”
“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!”
“Dana was wonderful from the very start! Very quick and thorough with communication and I immediately knew that she would treat our boy like he was one of her own. Dana was eager to learn all about my dog and she has great knowledge and instincts about how to care for pets. She also sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which was awesome! When we came to pick him up, I could tell that he had already bonded with Dana and really thrived in the environment. We are so happy we found Dana and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“So glad we met Taylor! Leaving our little girl Soleil with her felt like leaving her with a sweet friend. I knew she was in good hands surrounded by love. It was great to receive regular updates while we were away to keep our minds at ease. Thank you for your help Taylor!”
“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!❤️”
“Jennifer was great! She sent me photos and videos almost daily and took great care of my babies! She was very flexible with the drop off and pick up times as my schedule was a bit unpredictable when I was gone. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jersey loved staying with Robin!! She took amazing care of him while we had a few days away! Let him sleep with her, took him for walks and spent some time gardening in her backyard! Robin has an inviting, warm, clean, beautiful home that any pup would love to visit! Great street views on a comfy ottoman are the added bonus for Jersey! She doesn’t take multiple clients at a time which was comforting for us—although Jersey loves playing with other pups, we don’t know that other pups love playing with him. Thank you for the assurance our baby would be safe and well taken care of while in your care!”
“Jennifer was a great choice for a staycation for my dog. She was super responsive and I could see how much she loves what she does. My mind was put at ease by using Jennifer and I will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go away! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Highly recommended Morgan! She sent daily pictures and updates while we were on vacation. Our dog got lots of exercise and time outside and plenty of attention. She was quick to respond to messages and flexible when our flight was delayed and we needed to adjust our pick up plans. Will definitely be using her again for future boarding”
“Our two frenchies enjoyed their stay with Jacqueline. Jacqueline has great communication and sent us several updates and pictures of our fur babies throughout our trip. She provided excellent care and love to the fur babies. So thankful to have a pet sitter that provided the same amount of attention they would receive at home.”
“After reading the reviews, I booked Jessica. Brought my girl for one week. She ran right to them. I could tell she was going to be happy there. I met her family which were kind and caring. I know my pup was happy. She was in great hands. I will definitely bring her back. Thanks Jessica!”
“Shep was well taken care of while with Kimber. Her son was also a big factor is Shep’s care. We received pictures & updates about his day with his new buddy dark! He was very happy when we came to pick him up, energetic & in great spirits. We will be happy to use Kimber in the future.”

“Our German Shepherd loved his 10-day stay-- he was entertained by watching the neighboring farm animals and playing with their dog Moose. Kelsey took special care during a big thunderstorm, knowing he was particularly anxious. Very accommodating and flexible!”
“Though it was the first time our pups stayed with Tara&Justin and we went on a pretty lengthy trip, Tara made the experience so comfortable! With almost daily pictures and updates our minds were put at ease. They cared for our pups like their own and I know both dogs cant wait for the next time they’ll be staying with Tara&her family again. Couldn't have asked for a better experience after being reunited with our two very happy and cared for pups!”

We received daily pictures and updates during our time away and she was extremely helpful with our older, 17-year-old, cat, as well as with our two 9-month-old kittens.

“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.
“Taylor was amazing with our puppy Gus! Her adult lab was calm and great with him as well. Taylor sent regular updates & pictures throughout the day. We’ll be going back regularly for doggy daycare!”
“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.”
“Nala seemed very at ease with Floyd and his wife. She is a very timid dog so I was happy to see her just walk off with them. They send pictures of her settling right into their home. I don’t just trust anyone with my baby, but I get good vibes from them.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Fantastic place and person to leave your pet. Marcela loves and takes special care of each of her day care pets. There is a big yard about 3 acres for your pet to run around with there fellow day care residents.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—pets have always been part of my family, not just something I “look after.” Caring for them comes naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was trained in dog handling and basic training (including puppies), and while I’m not formally certified in the U.S., my experience comes from years of real, everyday care. I’m especially patient and calm with nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’m very comfortable caring for senior dogs, including giving medications and following special routines. I pay close attention to details because I know how important comfort, safety, and consistency are for pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, hamsters, reptiles, fish, and more. One of my most meaningful experiences was nursing my Russian hamster, Tim, back to health after pneumonia—an experience that truly reflects how committed I am when an animal depends on me. My heart dog, Axl, was with me for 14 years and passed in Thanksgiving week of 2025. He taught me how deeply pets are part of our families, and how hard it can be to trust someone else with their care. That’s why my goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their pet is safe, respected, and genuinely loved. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and always focus on making pets feel calm, secure, and at home. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day. Since I don’t work outside the home, I’m able to be present, follow routines closely, and adjust to each pet’s needs. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can provide consistent care, supervision, and lots of one-on-one time. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a screened lanai for fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since my dog Axl passed last November, I don’t have any other pets at home, which allows me to give my full attention to your pet. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and rest. I also have two kids who enjoy helping with gentle playtime (always supervised), which many pets love. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I provide consistent care, updates, and lots of affection—so your pet feels relaxed and at ease while you’re away.
“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!”
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.
“Miranda was wonderful to work with! She took great interest in our dog; gave walks, playtime and cuddles. She has a clean safe home with a nice fenced in yard. Provided pictures and was quick to respond to any outreaches and was very accommodating. We would absolutely work with her again when in the area. Highly recommend!”

“Teri is absolutely one of the BEST sitters that I've found on Rover. She is sweet, accommodating, and was really quick to respond to my messages. We've got an almost 4 years old, Goldendoodle and her name is Bella. She still has lots of energy and NEEDS playtime with her furry friends. Plus, I’m a firm believer in socializing her to different people. One of our regular sitters were on vacation , and the other one had an emergency to come up suddenly. So, I jumped on to Rover.com and was very fortunate to have found Teri. We live in Arcadia and we've got a pawnshop in Port Charlotte. We moved to Florida 4 years ago from Tennessee , and we still have family there. Well, I like to a Plan A, B and C for Bella's day camp and boarding options, just in case an emergency pops up or if we just want to have a date night then we have options for our girl 🧡 We will definitely recommend Teri to others and Bella will be returning soon, like on the next few days. Teri texted me updates and pictures throughout the day and she was very pleasant to text and talk with. She also teolf me that her husband really enjoy having Bella there as well. Bella loves to play with her furry friends a nd she usually steals the hearts of the sitters, too 🧡 And here's thec icing on the cake, Bella, came home and told me how wonderful her day was by smiling, wagging her tail and sleeping so peacefully last night and most of today as well. It is such a relief to know we have such wonderful options for our girl. We'll see Teri and Ken soon for more day camp and I feel very comfortable to leave Bella for boarding as well ❤️ That's such a huge relief 😊 Thank y'all so much for taking such good care of our girl, Bella!! We greatly appreciate it. They'll definitely be our go to for day camp and boarding for Bella ❤️🐶❤️”

“We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!”
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!

A know a lot about different breeds. I do this as my way to meet fur babies a give them the care they deserve when pet parents are away! I treat every animal like it’s my own, no pet is left behind. I respect people’s home! I know people love their pets like kids so it’s important to care for them how they should be. No short cuts are allowed when it comes to the care of your babies!
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: I've taken care of pets most of my life. I am starting to gain expert/professional experience.

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: 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: 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 was born and raised around many animals. I am sure that your dog or cat would have a great time with me and my family. I will care for your pet just like they are my own and will give them all of the attention they need. I am very active and will be able to give them all of the walks and playtime they could possibly want. I will try my hardest to accommodate whatever needs you express to me the best way possible. I hope you will let me show the love and care that your baby needs and wants to them when you are not around and able too. I am happy to say that I have finally been able to become a full-time pet sitter. I am here for you when you need me! If I am housesitting for you I will try to maintain your routine so your pet will feel comfortable and if they are at my house I will try to simulate a homelike environment for them with a little bit of extra spoiling to make up for your absence.
