Ava took excellent care of our Catahoola, Dallas. She sent pictures and updates everyday. We were happy Ava has two of her own dogs so Dallas had playmates.

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!❤️

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!

Bentley seemed to have a wonderful time staying and playing with Bri's 2 dogs Captain and Nemo while we were out of town. We appreciated the initial meet and greet and photo updates,which gave us piece of mind that he would be and was well taken care of. From belly rubs to giving him his familiar treats, we appreciated it all. We will be back!

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!!!!

We have 2 Goldem Retrievers that are loved like our own kids. Morgan watched them in her home and cared for them as if they were her own. Our one Golden had surgery 6 weeks ago and his activity was limited and she took that into account when letting him play with other dogs and walking him. She is communicative and sent photos every day while in her care. They will definitely go to her home again if we need to be away. Thanks Morgan!

Morgan takes caring for your fur babies seriously. She stayed in contact when there were changes to visit timing, etc, sent lots of pictures, and put in the time (and quiet effort) to get our very skittish girl kitty to come out and eat. Morgan is a great resource for caring for your pets.

About: I work remote from home Monday-Friday, and off on the weekends. Your dogs (and other pet's welcome) will have access to my entire home and 1.5 acres of large fenced in yard. Pets are allowed on all furniture and can sleep wherever they choose at night. I will take the dogs outside regularly so they can play or do potty whenever they please. If you dog prefers walks, I live on a low traffic dirt road great for long walks! I live alone, I have two rescued Dobermans and a cat. All of them are very friendly and get along great with other animals. I do have two ducks that stay outside. If your dog is not friendly with ducks, the ducks can be kept in a contained area away from your dog. In the past I have dog sat, I worked at a dog daycare/boarding/rescue organization, walked dogs, volunteered at Vet's. I would love to take care of your fur babies!! I work 9-5. If needed, I can come home on lunch to let your dog outside in my fenced in back yard for potty break. If your dog is used to being inside during the 8 hour work day then I will plan to do potty breaks before and after work and into the evening before bed time. I have a fenced in secure back yard with lots of room for doggies to run and play. My home is also very pet friendly, they are allowed on couches and beds anytime!

Very happy to have found Dawn! She's caring and loves your babies like her own. Dawn was great at documenting Cashmere's glucose level (patience to get the blood draw is necessary and she was and gentle as well) and administering his insulin .... just all around very detailed in her notes and very appreciated! She sent pics too! Dawn moved any packages inside the house and was kind enough to water a plant outside when we didn't get much rain. We appreciate her detail and genuine care and highly recommend her! Thank you SO much, Dawn!!!

About: I love spoiling dogs and making them feel loved. As a person who had a life long companion I feel like i know how to treat a dog the way they should be treated (which is with lost of treats and belly rubs). I would say that i am a really sweet and nice girl as well as pretty active too. I've worked with dogs as well at a groomers, which i think gives me advantage on understanding if there is something wrong or if the dog needs something. I will always work harder then what is conceded normal as well as super patient. Weather your dog is big or small i know i can be a great person of use when it comes to dog. Hope to see you and your big/small guy/girl! :)

About: My siblings and I had so many dogs growing up, we never even asked we just brought them home. We lived in the country (like dead end road and everything lol) so having a dog around training them and loving them was our lifeline. I work full time but am free nights and weekends. My husband is off for the summer and has been a great help taken care of our dogs and helping some times with requests. We live in an apartment complex that has a great big dog park, we also have two dogs that love to lay around. We did have ours crate trained and house trained.

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.

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.

I will be available 24/7 to give your pups the love they deserve!! I do not have a fully fenced in yard but I do have a small fenced off area for quick potty breaks. For longer walks we walk around our quiet neighborhood! There is plenty of space in the backyard for playing.

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.

About: 1 client at a time. About me: I am neurodivergent. I'm the type of person that tries to keep in touch with their inner child. I may or may not be a yoga space-case but I am home practically 24/7, at the moment, and have 24+ years of experience raising animal companions (and loved it). Please feel free to ask any questions. I have flexible availability and can spend genuine time with your pet. I pay close attention to the little things that make a big difference in a pets well-being and happiness. As a devoted pet sitter, I go beyond the basics. It's not a kennel here, your little being will have it's own little bedroom and it will have all the freedom and love it can take.

About: My husband and I have had dogs all our lives but at the stage of life where we still love having dogs around but would rather not have our own any more. This is a perfect solution to let us have pets but not in a permanent basis. I still work but my husband is home all day and would love some furry companionship during the days and for walks in the evening Husband is home days for frequent outdoor potty breaks. We take short walks in the evenings for excercise. We have crates IF they are needed when we have to step out. I am currently working part time and husband is home all day so we have plenty of time to walk, play and spoil your baby. Since someone is home a large majority of the time we are around to watch out for and care for your pet and give it lots of love and attention

About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. 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 that I will show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. I do not just watch animals. I connect with them, care for them, and treat them like they matter, because they do. 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 there are pets in the home belonging to my roommates. 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

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!

Well guess what, I can guarantee that your pet will be left in safe, loving arms.

About: Hello! I’m Sue, and I’m excited to offer dog walking and drop-in sitting services for your pets. As someone who has had dogs and cats all my life, I bring a lifetime of experience caring for pets, both my own and others’. I currently live with a lovable crew that includes a Maine Coon mix cat, three dogs (a Tennessee Walker Hound, Chihuahua terrier mix, and dachshund mix), plus a few goats and chickens. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve provided drop-in care for birds, goats, and chickens, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals. I also have experience giving medications to dogs, and I’ve given pills to both dogs and my own cat, especially since my dog has health issues that require regular medication. I am committed to keeping clear and consistent communication with pet owners, ensuring you’re updated throughout my visits. I also ask that you do the same in the event there is a question of care, or in the off chance of an emergency. With my own transportation and a flexible schedule, I’m ready to accommodate your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pets are well taken care of! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered) friends. I do have a small farm to tend to, but am flexible and able to easily fit it around pet sitting. I can care for your pets daily, but holidays are very busy. Because I have a household of pets of my own, I am not able to care for clients pets in my own home at this time. I offer dog walking in 30 minute increments, drop in visits to check on, feed, dispense meds, tend to cats.

About: I work remote from home Monday-Friday, and off on the weekends. Your dogs (and other pet's welcome) will have access to my entire home and 1.5 acres of large fenced in yard. Pets are allowed on all furniture and can sleep wherever they choose at night. I will take the dogs outside regularly so they can play or do potty whenever they please. If you dog prefers walks, I live on a low traffic dirt road great for long walks! I live alone, I have two rescued Dobermans and a cat. All of them are very friendly and get along great with other animals. I do have two ducks that stay outside. If your dog is not friendly with ducks, the ducks can be kept in a contained area away from your dog. In the past I have dog sat, I worked at a dog daycare/boarding/rescue organization, walked dogs, volunteered at Vet's. I would love to take care of your fur babies!! I work 9-5. If needed, I can come home on lunch to let your dog outside in my fenced in back yard for potty break. If your dog is used to being inside during the 8 hour work day then I will plan to do potty breaks before and after work and into the evening before bed time. I have a fenced in secure back yard with lots of room for doggies to run and play. My home is also very pet friendly, they are allowed on couches and beds anytime!

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: 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 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.

Ava took excellent care of our Catahoola, Dallas. She sent pictures and updates everyday. We were happy Ava has two of her own dogs so Dallas had playmates.

This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!

I don’t trust many people with my girl but Monica did AMAZING with her! She kept me consistently updated on Tinkies day and how she was doing, eating, potty breaks, etc. We will definitely rebook in the future :)

Marcela and her husband were great with our Roxy, they took great care of her, and they were very responsive to our questions and kept us constantly updated with pictures. I got back into town later than i expected and they were very understanding. Will definitely be using them again.

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!!!!

Kelsey was a great pet sitter. She sent pictures, videos, and updates a couple times daily which helped ease my worries about my 2 chocolate labs. She has a huge fenced in yard which allowed my dogs to get plenty of outdoor time. I would definitely use Kelsey again. Thanks for everything!!

We have 2 Goldem Retrievers that are loved like our own kids. Morgan watched them in her home and cared for them as if they were her own. Our one Golden had surgery 6 weeks ago and his activity was limited and she took that into account when letting him play with other dogs and walking him. She is communicative and sent photos every day while in her care. They will definitely go to her home again if we need to be away. Thanks Morgan!

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!

Tammy was extremely responsive, thorough, and took wonderful care of our puppy! She sent regular pictures, especially of him getting plenty of attention and exercise with her family. A telltale sign was that our extremely-attached pup was excited to see me, but didn’t want to leap out of her arms.

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!
