Highly-rated overnight sitters - Edgeville
“Morgan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pics daily. My dog seemed to really enjoy his time. Would recommend her to anyone. She lives on a large plot of land away from any city.”

“Frances took such great care of my fur babies! I felt 100% confident leaving them with her. They were free to have full reign of the home as if they lived there. They also had a nice big back yard to explore if they wanted. She gave them extra perks like watermelon on a hot day (we talked in advance about treats) and a cooling mat to lie on. Don’t look any further! You’ve found a gem 💎”

“A few days before boarding our other corgi passed away suddenly, leaving us and Thunder heartbroken. I advised Floyd and Connie, and they were very kind. We arrived to drop off Thunder, and found out there were 2 other Corgis there. This made us even more confident and happy that Thunder wouldn't be lonely. They gave Thunder extra love and attention. We look forward to his next overnight”

“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!”

“Excellent stay and care for Sweetie 💕 Beth was amazing and very friendly, responsive and took great care of my pup. Additional perk, Sweetie found a new BFF. 100 % 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!!!!”

“I am so thankful I found Monica. We had a last minute trip we had to take and she was available. She was amazing with my girl. We had some accidentl behavior issues and she was a sweetheart. We unfortunately lost our pitbull a week prior to Zaylah's stay (that made it zaylah's first stay without her sister of 10 years) and she a complete wreck. Which made me a wreck knowing I had to leave her in such a state. But Monica helped her feel comfortable, helped her eat (which is one of the issues we were having with her) . Hands down I am so lucky I had an opportunity to meet her. I highly recommend Monica I am definitely going to book again!”

“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!”

“Jennifer was amazing! My Benji loved her so much. She really takes her time to play with the dog and keeps you informed of everything with pictures and videos. Definitely using her again very soon.”

“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”


“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.”

“Lori is amazing! Our dog was so nervous and scared coming to a new place. Lori took her time to get to know our dog and it didn’t take very long before our dog was enjoying Lori’s home and hanging with another furry friend. Thank you Lori!”
“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!”


“We wer very happy with Steve and Cindy. They took excellent care of our pup and had very good communication every day we were gone. I will definitely use them again”

“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”

“Eddy had the best time with Viktoryia and her family! I received daily updates and pictures of Eddy which was awesome! I will definitely be booking with Viktoryia again when we travel!”


“Kimber is the BEST!! We use her five or six times a year between doggie daycare and boarding. Zoey loves to go to her house and it's such a relief knowing that she's getting great care when she's with Kimber. We always receive videos during her stays.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Edgeville
“Morgan is excellent! She knows what she's doing and took great care of my pup. She made sure he got plenty of the exercise and got out some of that puppy energy! I hope to book with her regularly, when I'm in the area.”

“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.”

“We are so grateful to have found Taylor to take care of our fur baby Bowser. He has really bad separation anxiety so he can’t be left alone. Taylor made sure he received lots of play, attention, and love. He seemed very happy when we picked him up. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative. We will be calling her again next time we need a sitter 🫶”

“Highly recommend Floyd and Connie! Very nice, friendly couple. They are great about sending pics/giving updates and it was very apparent that our Maxi had a great time. You can’t go wrong with entrusting your fur baby with them.”

“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!”

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.

“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!!”

“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all kinds. I take pride in being a responsible, dependable sitter who treats every pet like family. As a local resident and mom to a sweet 4-year-old daughter who also adores animals, our home is full of love, care, and gentle energy. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in safe, capable hands, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddles, I always make time for animals throughout the day. My daughter and I love spending time with pets, so caring for them fits seamlessly into our family’s rhythm. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and love. Because I work locally and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to devote consistent time and energy to each pet I watch, making sure their needs are always met and they feel safe and happy. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space to play and relax — I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. I keep to each pet’s usual routine with regular walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. No matter where I’m watching them, I treat every pet like part of the family.

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

We currently have two doodles, Rudy and Carolina, and are used to reading dog behavior, introducing dogs slowly, and keeping a calm, structured environment.

We’ve also hosted dogs for friends and family and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their dog in a safe, reliable home. Pet care fits very naturally into our weekly routine.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I had a lab for 14 years and now have a Pomeranian/shih-tzu mix.

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. For larger companions, I also have several giant crates to ensure their comfort if needed. Dogs will be crated at night only if they need to be. If your dog is potty trained and can be trusted being loose in a house overnight then they will not be crated unless the pet owner wants them to be crated. 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. 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.
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!
“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!”

“Extremely happy with Eliza’s services. Very patient, flexible, and wonderful with Nova. Not only is she walking Nova for us but also working with her on breaking some puppy habits while on leash. Very professional, knowledgeable and attentive to meeting our needs. Highly recommend Eliza?”

About: I am retired. My husband Paul and I have two mixed terriers, brother and sister, that we rescued during Covid. Sydney is our little girl and has some Dachshund and Bo is more Irish Terrier with some Wheaton. They are 4 years old. Our pictures show some of our past, beloved pets. We have had 7 dogs prior to our sibling dogs and two miniature horses. I have a fenced backyard, a secured pool with a shallow entry and live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I can walk here or come to you. I walk every day my dogs every day for approximately two miles. We do a mix of well paced walking and significant "sniffing" time. Sniffing is good for dog cardio. We have a fenced yard and a pool with a shallow level for smaller dogs that might like to get their feet wet. Treats are well planned and on the small side. And we have toys! In your home I will abide by your instructions.
About: I was raised in a home where my mom started her pet grooming and boarding business, until it expanded to a separate building. So pets were just part of our family and daily routine! Pets bring me so much joy and love, I would love to share that with yours! I work from home, on my own time, and this is also my first year homeschooling my 2 girls! So I am very flexible and can accommodate to what ever schedule needed! I am open to what is needed! An afternoon stroll, afternoon play time, play dates, overnights, or just snuggles! Any animal time will fill my heart! My rescue cat is truly a blessing and is the kindest, most fun boy. He loves to play with balls & stuffed animals, but also loves to snuggle. I do have a screened in front porch that allows playtime in the fresh air with keeping him safe, so he loves that too (he is missing a back paw so we limit free range time outdoors to his benefit). He is part of the family and is treated like one of us!

“Morgan was amazing. Very communicative and sent pics daily. My dog seemed to really enjoy his time. Would recommend her to anyone. She lives on a large plot of land away from any city.”

“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!”

“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!!!!”

“I am so thankful I found Monica. We had a last minute trip we had to take and she was available. She was amazing with my girl. We had some accidentl behavior issues and she was a sweetheart. We unfortunately lost our pitbull a week prior to Zaylah's stay (that made it zaylah's first stay without her sister of 10 years) and she a complete wreck. Which made me a wreck knowing I had to leave her in such a state. But Monica helped her feel comfortable, helped her eat (which is one of the issues we were having with her) . Hands down I am so lucky I had an opportunity to meet her. I highly recommend Monica I am definitely going to book again!”

“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!”

“Jennifer was amazing! My Benji loved her so much. She really takes her time to play with the dog and keeps you informed of everything with pictures and videos. Definitely using her again very soon.”

“Lori is amazing! Our dog was so nervous and scared coming to a new place. Lori took her time to get to know our dog and it didn’t take very long before our dog was enjoying Lori’s home and hanging with another furry friend. Thank you Lori!”

“We wer very happy with Steve and Cindy. They took excellent care of our pup and had very good communication every day we were gone. I will definitely use them again”


“Kimber is the BEST!! We use her five or six times a year between doggie daycare and boarding. Zoey loves to go to her house and it's such a relief knowing that she's getting great care when she's with Kimber. We always receive videos during her stays.”

“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”

“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”

“Love Kendal and Dre! They took such amazing care of my pup while we were on vacation. They were so communicative and sent so many pictures and updates. I can tell he had an amazing time, an probably didn’t want to leave when we picked him up :) Amazing couple and we will definitely use them again!”

“Absolutely wonderful family! Wouldn’t ever hesitate in asking them to care for Wellington again. I really appreciated the many pics and videos. Thankyou so so much”


“Tammy was amazing! This was my first Rover experience and it was great! Tammy answered all my questions quickly prior to drop off and was super accommodating regarding drop off and pickup. I was sent many photos of my dog Rylee during the visit where I could visually see she was enjoying herself. I can’t wait for Rylee to get the chance to stay with Tammy again!”
