“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!”
“Floyd and his wife did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our Rosy. They provided daily updates and pictures which were so appreciated. Their home is clean and has a great fenced in yard. Rosy seemed so happy there and may have been happy to stay there forever ? Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Reese and Riplee had a great overnight visit. Jennifer was a joy to work with while my husband had surgery in Gainsville. I didn’t worry about my babies one bit as she sends texts and pictures letting me know how content they are. I will definitely call on Jennifer next time they need watched.”
“Marcela was just awesome with Charlie. He is a very active run free kind of dog and she had him running. You could almost see him smiling in the videos she sent us of him! He had the time of his life. Would highly recommend her for your pet. We will definitely be using her 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!”
“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!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She knows dogs well and is super friendly and compassionate. I trusted her completely with my 3 fur babies while I flew home for the holidays. She even gave them all stockings with a toy, treat and blanket in them😊 So sweet! She kept me updated always with texts and pictures and I never was worried my whole trip. Her children are so sweet and loved on my fur kids and I was so glad everyone became good friends. I 100% recommend booking with Taylor if you are in need of fantastic sitter in Port Charlotte!”
“My fur baby is a diabetic and her sugar drop very low in the middle of the night and she heard her thrashing around and saved her by giving her honey and bringing her sugar back up. Took awhile for her to get back to normal, but she stayed by her side and then put her in her room for the rest of the stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!❤️”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs while we were on vacation. It was the first time we had ever left them behind, so naturally we were nervous. I didn’t want to overwhelm her by constantly checking in, but she reached out every day with updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked them up, the dogs were happy, clean, and clearly well cared for. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with our dogs again!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, Rocky, with Bryanna, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From our first meet and greet, it was clear she’s a true animal lover. She listened carefully to all of Rocky’s care instructions and remembered every little detail. Her home is super pet-friendly, and Rocky felt comfortable right away. While we were out of town, Bryanna sent daily updates and tons of adorable photos, which really put us at ease. She even got Rocky to eat his food every day — something he never does when we’re away! For the first time, I didn’t spend the whole trip worrying about him, and that means everything. Bryanna took such wonderful care of Rocky and treated him like her own. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and recommending her to our friends and family!”
“Kimber watched our dog tucker, she sent multiple videos and updates when we were away. She took great care of our dog and he came home tired from all the playing he did! Highly recommend!”
“Robin is great. It is the only place my dog goes willingly and isn’t running out the door to leave when we pick her up. So nice to have a trusted place when leaving our dog.”
“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!”
“Shawna is an excellent sitter . I never wondered what Lucki was doing because she always had me updated. She was a big yard for the dogs. I would leave Lucki with her anytime I needed it sitter”
“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.”

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.

I work part time so that means I am available during different parts of the day and night. I am willing to do over nights. When I am watching pets in different clients home, I will make sure nothing in the house is damaged. I will not touch anything I don't have to. I will walk or let out pets. I will feed and water them. I will also take care of any extra needs that the pets have.
“Sara watched my 2 cats while I was away for 5 days, staying overnight at my place. She took amazing care of them, snuggling and playing with them, and sent numerous pictures everyday...even some of them posing with my pumpkins! 🥰 She kept in contact with me as she came and went so I would know when the boys would be alone. And she took care to keep my place clean, taking out all of the garbage when she left! I would highly recommend her to watch your fur baby and will definitely be using her in the future!!”

“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hattie. She sent pictures of her periodically during playtime and walks. I would highly recommend her for doggy daycare!”
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.”
“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.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 4 years old. My parents allowed us to get dogs only if we took full responsibility for them! I’ve helped walk, feed & babysit dogs for other families for a long time as well. I have an immense love for all things fluffy! I’m a stay at home mom of one human child & 3 fur babies! 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.

I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred
“My dogs had a fun day at Shawna! Her fenced in yard and private location was perfect for the pups to romp around. She sent updates and they came home happy and tired.”
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

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 been around dogs my whole life. All sizes and breeds. I’ve taken dog training classes for my own personal pets. I’ve been caring for friends and neighbors dogs my whole adult life. I’m currently a driver that makes my own schedule so I am available to fit in your schedule for caring for your pet. I’m very energetic to keep up with your pet! I am very centrally located in the Charlotte county. Easy to reach and be available for when your pet needs attention. Always have a positive attitude even with the more difficult breeds.
“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: Hello animal enthusiasts! My name is Katie and I have worked with animals in a multitude of settings. Jane Goodall (Primatologist) was always an idol of mine. As I grew up in a household loving my dogs, cats, and birds I envisioned working in Africa with chimpanzees. While my vision didn't manifest exactly the way I had fathomed, I still ended up working with baboons in Africa (2017). Along the way, I was an outdoor educator for several years working with all sorts of reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and invertebrates. I have been attracted to all types of animals since the day I was born. As a science teacher (8 years), I kept corals and saved many animals in the outdoor environment near our school (from squirrels to birds and much more). My husband and I have just moved from Chicago, IL to Florida. We have a love for adventure and curiosity for the great outdoors. We are happily married with our Cockatiel (Sunny) and Umbrella Cockatoo (Jack). I can't wait to meet you and love your pets for eternity! Along with my elementary education degree, I studied zoology. So, with that being stated, I'm here in Florida ready to meet new people, love your pets, teach, adventure, and learn all about Florida ecology! Let's connect! I'm currently reinventing my life/schedule after just recently moving from Chicago, IL this year and leaving my middle school science teaching position. I plan on working for a nature center and substitute teaching while I continue improving my writing career. As of right now, I have an open schedule until the end of August. I will be changing my availability in September. Currently, we do not have a fenced in yard for your pet but I can surely take him/her out with their leash in our vast open space! If your dog loves the hose, we have access to this as well. Who doesn't love a nice spray during the hot summer? Your pet will have 24 hour access to this yard, cozy home, and the couch or bed! We live about 5 minutes from the Audubon Pennington Park where we love to take nature walks. I'm sure your dog wouldn't mind a nature walk too! We truly do enjoy hosting neighborhood pets as one of our very own family members. Your pet will receive unconditional love, constant cuddles, outdoor time, and food/water the way you prefer it! At night time, they can choose from our warm bed or their very own cozy dog bed. Your pet is top priority and we want to provide the best experience for them so that they are happy to come back and play! With that being said, I would love to work with you to provide whatever it is you and your pet need. Thanks and can't wait to touch base!
About: I've taken care and owned multiple types of dogs and cats. I have watched pets during the day and over night. I love meeting new dogs and cats. I work part time so that means I am available during different parts of the day and night. I am willing to do over nights. When I am watching pets in different clients home, I will make sure nothing in the house is damaged. I will not touch anything I don't have to. I will walk or let out pets. I will feed and water them. I will also take care of any extra needs that the pets have.
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 yard but it's in the process of getting fenced. I do have a small fenced area for little dogs. 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 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 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!”
“Reese and Riplee had a great overnight visit. Jennifer was a joy to work with while my husband had surgery in Gainsville. I didn’t worry about my babies one bit as she sends texts and pictures letting me know how content they are. I will definitely call on Jennifer next time they need watched.”
“Marcela was just awesome with Charlie. He is a very active run free kind of dog and she had him running. You could almost see him smiling in the videos she sent us of him! He had the time of his life. Would highly recommend her for your pet. We will definitely be using her 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!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs while we were on vacation. It was the first time we had ever left them behind, so naturally we were nervous. I didn’t want to overwhelm her by constantly checking in, but she reached out every day with updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked them up, the dogs were happy, clean, and clearly well cared for. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with our dogs again!”
“Kimber watched our dog tucker, she sent multiple videos and updates when we were away. She took great care of our dog and he came home tired from all the playing he did! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Shawna is an excellent sitter . I never wondered what Lucki was doing because she always had me updated. She was a big yard for the dogs. I would leave Lucki with her anytime I needed it sitter”
“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.”
“Very friendly and their living arrangements are great. Very flexible and my dog Charly loves it there. They have sent me numerous videos of Charly since I left her. They are wondrful”
“Tara is a saint! I don’t know what I’d do without her! She’s watched my 2 doodles several times, but this time she literally came and picked them up spur of the moment when I was sick! Shes the best and a life saver”
“I have used Shelley a few times now and have been very happy every time. She provided a lot of feedback while I was gone. My dogs seemed to be happy there since they received lots of attention!”
About: Your dog will enjoy every minute of their vacation at our home!!!! We always enjoy meeting new friends and introducing them to our chocolate labs.

We live on a quiet culdesac which is ideal for dog walking.
“Aliyana was absolutely amazing with my boy Kenai super attentive towards him and he had friends there too with her animals. She also sends pictures and videos throughout the day so your always in the loop of things. She took him out to play and on multiple walks and treats.

This is now our go to pet sitter”
