About the time in Puerto Plata
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Puerto Plata day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:25 and sunset at 07:04 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (19.75, -70.70) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Puerto Plata.
Clocks in Puerto Plata stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −4 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Dominican Republic.
