“Angela was super sweet and I loved the photos of my cat while we were gone! My cat hasn’t ever stayed with a stranger for that long without us and he was a little mischievous with some hiding spots but Angela handled it very well by giving him his time to come around to her. Highly recommend!! :)”

They took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a week. We will certainly request Erin and Steve to care for our dog again as needed in the future. I highly recommend Erin and Steve for daily or weekly boarding of your pets. Your pets will be in excellent care while visiting this family home.”

“What an amazing experience! Jennifer was incredibly kind and kept me updated on my baby throughout the entire time. She sent numerous pictures, which reassured me that my baby was doing great. This was the first time I left her for an extended period, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Robin P was the best person I could’ve chosen to watch my dog Spencer. Spencer loved being with her and she sent me videos and text daily to let me know how Spencer was doing! She treated Spencer like it was her own dog, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Spencer for us while we were out of town! We have actually booked her again for the beginning of the year when we go on a cruise! Thank you Robin for doing such a great job with our fur baby!!”


“Jake was treated as a member of the family! He snuggled with and was loved on by the kiddos. Suzanne gave him fresh air time in the yard, feed him and gave him healthy treats as we requested. He loved the family and time there. He really didn’t want to leave?. Hopefully she will keep Jake again. We highly recommend Suzanne!”

“We only bring Gus to Taylor! She’s attentive, sends updates every few hours, and truly cares for Gus. I feel like he has a second home with Taylor and her kiddos. Thank you for another wonderful week for our pup!”

“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”


“Kimber was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Carmelo. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident he was in caring and capable hands. Kimber provided daily videos and updates, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Carmelo was comfortable, happy, and receiving plenty of attention. Her home is clean, welcoming, and very dog-friendly, creating the perfect environment for dogs to feel safe and relaxed. Most importantly, it's immediately obvious that Kimber is a true dog lover. She genuinely cares about the animals she watches and treats them like members of her own family. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely trust Kimber with Carmelo again in the future. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Kimber. She exceeded all of my expectations!”

About: I have had only owned 3 cats in my life (so far haha) and enjoy their personality and style… maybe a bit too much considering the amount of pictures I have. But hey, that’s what it’s been for me as a cat owner, I have taken care of various family, friends and neighbors cats over the years and formed a friendship with all of them. (It helps when you’re the one feeding them haha).

“Amanda was great! My kitty is very shy, but Amanda managed to get a photo of her for me. She brought in 2 packages that were supposed to be here before we left; and, overall, did a great job. I will try to get her whenever we go away, and I highly recommend her. Richard Hill”


“Hailey is amazing. She was very communicative. She was on time and mostly what I appreciate about Hailey is how much she enjoyed being with my animals. I felt completely comfortable leaving town with Hailey in charge. I will use her again.”

“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.”


“Jennifer is amazing! Our babies were very happy, she loved them up for us while we were gone & took great care of them. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing someone & will surely wish to have her take care of our babies again. To note, this was very last minute as our plans changed & she provided us comfort before & during our absence knowing they were being loved up & well taken care of. Thanks Jennifer”

“Erin and Stephen were great and treated Scooby like their own baby. Great communication and always kept us up to date with video and pictures. Would use them again next time we're in the area.”

“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 ❤️🐶❤️”

“Thank you Linda for taking such good care of my precious girl. Pebbles is a senior dog with special needs and Linda took exceptional care of her. Pebbles is unable to walk, Linda took her outside to enjoy some fresh air and administered her medication as needed. It was wonderful receiving videos and photographs throughout the day updating me on how she was doing. Such a relief to find such a warm and friendly person to leave my baby with for the day. Pebbles cannot be left alone anymore, I will not hesitate to call on Linda again in the future. Thank you again.”

“Sophie's daycare time with Connie went perfectly. Sophie was happy on arrival and, though happy on my return to pick her up, seemed totally content to stay if she needed to. Connie's home is clean and as well-cared for as her canine clients. I'm so glad I found her on Rover and highly recommend her services.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”


“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!”

“Brittany was very accommodating even though it was a quick reservation! I appreciated her help also in navigating the Rover app and getting that submitted! She’s friendly, caring and knowledgeable. I was able to go for the day and celebrate my birthday with friends and family and feel comfortable with my Macie in her care! I will definitely book with her again!!❤️🐾”

About: Hi there! Looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter and dog walker in Port Charlotte? Look no further! I’m Brittany, and I’m passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved pets.Whether it’s a brisk walk, a cozy cuddle session, or ensuring your pet feels safe and happy in their own home, I’m here to help. I’m reliable, responsible, and can’t wait to connect with you and your furry friends! I am flexible and available if it is a right fit. Flexible during Weekdays (accepts more visits).

Please message if you have specific days and I can further assist. I understand the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for your furry companion(s). My home is pet-friendly haven where your pet will be treated like family. I prioritize their well-being with a room to enjoy for resting, regular walks, and plenty of playtime, I am committed to following your specific instructions and maintaining open communication to ensure your peace of mind while you're away.
About: I only take in one pet (and siblings) at a time. I think it's less traumatic for the pets if there are not other animals around when they are separated from their family. I do everything that I can to make the experience fun and loving. I love both cats and dogs for different reasons. I’ve had pets my entire life until recently. Since most of my pets died of old age, I am experienced with geriatric pets and their special needs as well. I follow your instructions on pet-care. I've watched many dogs and cats in different homes with completely different schedules and rules. I am an early bird so if you have dogs, I like to walk early before it gets too hot. But again, if your dog is used to sleeping in, I can work with his schedule. I do this for fun as well as extra income. I only take up to two pets at a time and they must be siblings. I may take in a third depending on circumstances. Just ask! I am mostly home with the pets. I even have my groceries delivered! I go the gym most mornings for about 1.5 hours. I started pet-sitting to fill the void after my last pet died. I’ve been pet and house sitting professionally around the world since 2016. I board dogs or cats in my home in Port Charlotte. I love to travel and am open to pet sitting in your home anywhere in the world, as long as it's somewhere I'm interested in. I am always interested in Eagle Rock/Glassell Park, CA, as that's where my son lives. I am an early riser so I like to walk the dogs as the sun is rising and then again at dusk. I have a large fenced-in yard so the dogs have a lot of freedom, but I don't leave them alone outside. I am working on house projects so I am almost always around. I am accepting up to two sibling dogs/cats for boarding in my home. I prefer crate-trained dogs as they feel more secure in their crates and it's less traumatic for them to be left at a stranger's house. I am flexible on this depending on the age of your dogs. Most of the time, they are free. I am finding that most dogs just follow me around since I am actively working on the house. The house is fairly new to me so there are many projects to be done!

It’s a joy for me and the best job ever. I never wish to stop I prefer to do drop in visits as I do not have a fenced yard but I can board at my home with leashed dogs
About: I’ve helped with taking care of animals ever since i was little. That along with volunteering at the Humane Society since 2017 has helped instill a strong and deep understanding on how to properly handle and care for them ! It is very therapeutic & fun for me to help take care of such sweet fur babies ! (Disclaimer : I charge cheaper rates if not paid through app!) I have a very flexible schedule due to taking an online course for the time being . My current availability is generally Mondays-Fri for anytime. Possibly Weekends depending on location. I play with my cat, Cheddar and baby whenever i can & make sure he is well fed & constantly has water! I also love to cuddle with them whenever i take naps!
About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience and have worked in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of every size and personality. I’m also comfortable with cats and love giving each pet the attention, playtime, and care they deserve! I currently have a completely open and flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day and accommodate your pet’s routine as needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent—feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and comfort.
“I'm very pleased with Veronica. She is always on time and tells me of little things that happened during their walk. Veronica is very pleasant and I can tell she enjoys walking/caring for dogs. She has a background of training dogs and I would highly recommend her. Daisy is always excited when she sees Veronica and that tells me Veronica is a true dog person. I trust my dog.”


About: I’ve had the joy of growing up with both cats and dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. I also have experience with reptiles from my younger years as a dedicated reptile enthusiast. I believe every animal deserves attentive care and genuine affection, and I’m passionate about providing both. In addition to general pet care, I have hands-on experience raising puppies, including helping others with potty training and basic routines, as well as caring for senior dogs. I’ve looked after elderly pets with special needs, such as a blind Jack Russell who required extra assistance and medication management. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with compassion, patience, and the highest level of care to keep them happy and safe while you’re away. I currently work part time for a delivery company with a flexible schedule to work around my pet care duties and have an open availability throughout the week While caring for your pets in your home, I maintain consistent feeding schedules, prioritize their safety, and ensure they receive regular outdoor time for exercise and bathroom needs. I also keep litter boxes and living areas clean and well maintained. Additionally, I provide regular updates after each visit or walk so you can feel confident and informed about your pet’s care.

About: Your Pet's Home Away From Home with a Lifetime Animal Enthusiast I'd be honored to welcome your beloved pets into my home! My life has been devoted to animals, starting on a ranch where I gained hands-on experience with everything from horses, dogs, and cats to chickens and beyond. As a retired horse trainer and long-time dog breeder, I bring a wealth of knowledge in animal health, behavior, and communication. I've personally trained service dogs for mobility, and I'm passionate about helping dogs overcome behavioral challenges. With your permission, I can address specific training needs your dog might have, such as potty training, leash manners, or breaking other bad habits, ensuring their time with me is both enjoyable and productive. Rest assured, your pets will be treated as cherished members of my family during their stay. Our home is a calm, adult-only environment, providing a peaceful and safe space for your companions. I'm available at anytime to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have dedicated my life to animals and I love it. With many years of dedicated experience across a diverse range of animals, I offer exceptional pet care grounded in health, compassion, and understanding. My extensive background includes not only general animal well-being but also specialized expertise in handling animals with specific needs and successfully training dogs and other animals through positive methods. We do not have any small children or any children. Just adults that love animals. I'm committed to ensuring every pet under my care feels loved, safe, and comfortable. My flexible availability means I can accommodate your pets' schedules and individual requirements at any time. Pets always have fresh water and are fed as scheduled by the pet owner. We do board cats and they are kept in a seprate area of our home. We have a very large lani and pool and a small dog pool available for your pets. Your pets will never be unsupervised when they are in our pool area. I have a very large screened in lani that the dogs can run and play in. I do have a small fenced area for little dogs. I do not leave the dogs outside unattended due to risk of over heating, escaping, cane toads, poisonous snakes and fire ants. I walk the dogs as many times as they need to, to go potty. I've been told by multiple pet parents that other sitters just put their dogs out in a yard unsupervised and their dogs were attacked by other dogs. I'm always supervising your dogs.

This was the first time I left her for an extended period, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Jake was treated as a member of the family! He snuggled with and was loved on by the kiddos. Suzanne gave him fresh air time in the yard, feed him and gave him healthy treats as we requested. He loved the family and time there. He really didn’t want to leave?. Hopefully she will keep Jake again. We highly recommend Suzanne!”

“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”


“Kimber was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Carmelo. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident he was in caring and capable hands. Kimber provided daily videos and updates, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Carmelo was comfortable, happy, and receiving plenty of attention. Her home is clean, welcoming, and very dog-friendly, creating the perfect environment for dogs to feel safe and relaxed. Most importantly, it's immediately obvious that Kimber is a true dog lover. She genuinely cares about the animals she watches and treats them like members of her own family.

If you're looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Kimber. She exceeded all of my expectations!”

“They sent so many videos and photos, which helped a lot considering how much I missed my sweet puppy, Virginia. Their dog, Max, quickly became Virginia’s best bud, and their entire family was so welcoming. Virginia was immediately comfortable and so loved the entire time. The home was clean and the backyard was spacious and fenced in. She had tons of play time and more than enough attention. This is where I’d board my dog if I had to again.”

“Kathy (and her granddaughters) were so wonderful to Joey. They gave him lots of love and cuddles during his stay. We got the pictures to prove it! We were extremely comfortable leaving Joey and would not hesitate to do it again.”

From the start, she was incredibly sweet and kept us completely at ease with frequent photo updates and check-ins whenever it was time for meals or walks. Her home is spotless, and the fenced-in yard provided the perfect environment for play and exercise. It was clear they were a perfect match—Krista had nothing but great things to say about Kali, which made us feel so comfortable leaving her in her care. To top it off, she was incredibly accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute; she didn't hesitate to let our dog stay an extra night when we realized we wouldn't make the original pickup time. We will definitely be booking with Krista 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!”
