“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”
“Taylor was amazing! She was in constant communication with me and sent me daily updates and pictures. Taylor and her family were very sweet and loving and made my dog feel right at home!”
“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!”
“We always use Jennifer for planned and last minute trips. Our Koda boy gets so excited everytime we get to her house. Open communication, she updates us with any issues. We get frequent pictures! She makes us feel good about leaving our dog there!”
“I felt total confidence in Ana the minute I met her when we did the first "meet & greet". Her house is secure and doggie proofed. My dog loved being there, I can tell because of the photos she send a couple times a day, everyday. He seemed very content and relaxed. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a great, communicative, caring dog sitter.”
“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!”
“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 always have peace of mind when we leave our dog Shelby with Shelly! Excellent communication, sends pictures often, and treats my dog like a member of her family! Shelly is truly a great sitter and such a sweet person. Thanks again!”

Nothing but good vibes as his owner, after pick up Warrior was happy as usual. Don’t hesitate to book with Jim.”

About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.
“Marcela and her husband took amazing care of our energetic puppy Snoopy and our little lap dog Mochi! They sent us pictures and videos every day to keep us posted. They have a beautiful home that is set up perfectly for dog sitting! Our dogs loved running around their huge fenced in yard chasing Marcela on the golf cart ? they had a blast! She even tended to their medical needs as Snoopy had a mild ear infection before he arrived and needed pills and drops daily. They came home happy, clean and tired which I’m grateful for! We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again! They treated our boys like family ? ❤️”
“The best ever!!! She was so amazing to our boy Louie I will always go to her!!! She is so easy going and so good at communicating and updates about our baby boy. Couldn’t have found a better person to watch our dog.”

“Suzanne took great care of our 2 young cats while we were away for an entire week. The cats were happy when we got home but not too happy, which means they loved her! 😻😻”
“Brittany was fantastic with our skittish kitty, Sport. She clearly understands cats and took the time to earn her trust rather than rushing her. We really appreciated Brittany’s patience, calm approach, and attention to Sport’s comfort. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. We will book Brittany again and highly recommend.”

“Channing was amazing! She cared for our 4 cats over a period of one week. She sent daily updates and pictures so we knew our furbabies were taken care of very well. I definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!!”
“Brittany takes such great care of my kitties! She makes sure to keep me updated and sends pics and I can tell they love her, even my stand offish kitty who’s wary of everyone, lol. I’d recommend her to watch your fur babies too!”
About: I volunteer at a dog rescue, but there is a cat room too! I understand the need cats have for prey-drive play and something stimulating to change up their day. I enjoy watching cats' curiousity come out when they meet someone new. I tend to let cats just "be" and don't force them to come out of hiding if that's what they want to do.
“So lucky to have found Shelley! I was already out of town on my vacation and my cat sitter I had lined up (not through Rover) never showed up. Shelley was quick to respond and came to my house to take care of my kitties! She was great at communicating and made me feel at ease! I would recommend Shelley hands down to anyone. Feel comfortable and safe having Shelley in your home taking care of your babies!!!”
“Kaylee is an awesome communicator. Always quick to respond and does a great job of sharing how the cats are doing along with pics. She's super reliable and my cats love her!”
“Érica took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for a week. I felt comfortable with leaving them in her care as soon as I met her because of her warm, friendly and easygoing personality. Her love of animals was obvious. I will definitely book her again when I need a sitter.”

“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 🫶”
“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!”

“Excellent. Teri is a great care giver. Easy transition going in & out. She sent us pictures and updates. Teri is a good person who has rescued 3 dogs previously to give them a loving home. Our world needs more people like her. I will definitely recommend and rebook with Teri.”
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!

“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.”

“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!!❤️🐾”
“We were visiting the area for my son's golf tournament. When we arrived at our "pet-friendly" vacation rental home, we were told that the owner does not allow pets to be left alone in the home AT ALL. We were so flustered and worried we wouldn't be able to leave the house to watch our son. Luckily, Shelley made this terrible inconvenience manageable by allowing us to drop off our dog at her home for a few hours each day while we watched our son's tournament. Shelley was super responsive, even very late in the evening, and cared for our dog as if it were her own. I would absolutely recommend Shelley to anyone and will happily re-book when we are in the area. Thank you so much, Shelley!”
“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!”
“Nala seemed very at ease with Floyd and his wife. She is a very timid dog so I was happy to see her just walk off with them. They send pictures of her settling right into their home. I don’t just trust anyone with my baby, but I get good vibes from them.”
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.
“Miranda was wonderful to work with! She took great interest in our dog; gave walks, playtime and cuddles. She has a clean safe home with a nice fenced in yard. Provided pictures and was quick to respond to any outreaches and was very accommodating. We would absolutely work with her again when in the area. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”
“We always use Jennifer for planned and last minute trips. Our Koda boy gets so excited everytime we get to her house. Open communication, she updates us with any issues. We get frequent pictures! She makes us feel good about leaving our dog there!”
“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 would absolutely book again with Jim, he was very loving to Warrior and he seemed comfortable with Jim right away. Jim sent photos and updates and allowed Warrior to do the things he is used to. Nothing but good vibes as his owner, after pick up Warrior was happy as usual. Don’t hesitate to book with Jim.”

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.
About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.
“Marcela and her husband took amazing care of our energetic puppy Snoopy and our little lap dog Mochi! They sent us pictures and videos every day to keep us posted. They have a beautiful home that is set up perfectly for dog sitting! Our dogs loved running around their huge fenced in yard chasing Marcela on the golf cart ? they had a blast! She even tended to their medical needs as Snoopy had a mild ear infection before he arrived and needed pills and drops daily. They came home happy, clean and tired which I’m grateful for! We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again! They treated our boys like family ? ❤️”
“The best ever!!! She was so amazing to our boy Louie I will always go to her!!! She is so easy going and so good at communicating and updates about our baby boy. Couldn’t have found a better person to watch our dog.”
“Brittany is amazing! I am so happy I found her to watch my pup! I have an 11 month old golden retriever, and she loved Brittany and her sweet dog Lucy. She sent me update pics and kept me in the loop. Definitely making her my first choice every time. 10/10 recommend :)”
“Tony was wonderful with our dog, Louie. He kept in regular communication throughout Louie’s stay, which gave us peace of mind. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our dog in Tony’s care and would use him again.”
