About: With over 21 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, I offer dependable, knowledgeable care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I’ve worked with everything from high-energy puppies learning the ropes, to senior pets who need a gentle, patient touch. I’m experienced with a wide range of dog and cat breeds—including exotic and high-maintenance types—and have hands-on experience in dog daycare, medication administration, and post-injury rehabilitation. I’m also pet CPR certified, a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluator, and deeply familiar with dog behavior and psychology. Whether your pet needs training support, extra playtime, or specialized care, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and understood. Pet care is a priority in my life, and I make sure it fits seamlessly into my daily routine. The most I’m typically away is just a few hours at a time. I schedule my day to ensure pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks. Whether your pet needs regular walks, playtime, medication, or just some comforting company, I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care they can count on. I exclusively care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or administering medications, I provide attentive, respectful care while maintaining your home’s cleanliness and security. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost professionalism.
About: I grew up with very different types of dogs, between small to large. I’ve also helped take care of family friends dogs while they were out of town or just needed some help if they were busy! I have been through multiple training classes with my own dog, so I can work well with reactive dogs and can help train your new puppies! I just recently moved to Fort Myers, so I have an open week, or even weekends! I’m able to help out whenever you need me the most! I would love to help watch your fur babies, and make sure they are shown love while you’re away! I can help take them on walks, or even just sit at the house and cuddle! I love making sure each dog gets the special attention and care that they need! I also am very cautious with allergies and make sure I’m giving the correct treats and food! If any medication is needed, I can make sure it is given at the correct time!
About: I've always been a big animal lover, and have been trusted to watch people's pets for over 5 years now! Allow me to take care of your fur babies whether you've got a weekend getaway, family vacation or business trip to take! I've got you covered! I do currently work full time, 8:30 AM to 5 PM. I am a great fit for the weekends, or drop-ins in the evenings. I dual as a house-sitter as well, so I am completely comfortable with coming to spend the rest of the evening with your pet at your home if you'd like :) I generally watch my client's pet at their home being that this makes it convenient not only for myself, but the pet is in their own environment where they're comfortable. When at my client's residence, I ensure to keep the space immaculate, as if there was nobody ever there while still providing premiere pet care. I try to be as interactive as I can with my client's pet by playing with them, taking the pet for a walk (assuming its a dog) and even going to the dog park if there is one close by. I provide pictures as well in my time being with the client's pet.
“Jessica was amazing! She helped us out when we needed a last minute sitter for our dog and cat and took such amazing care of them all weekend. We got regular updates and photos, and she even accommodated an earlier pick up time at the last minute as well. We will definitely book with Jessica again!”
“Jaci is great with our 4 yr old Newfoundland mix. She’s attentive and quick to respond when we check in while traveling. She also sends photos, which is nice. We highly recommend her!”

About: “I’ve worked in the pet care industry for several years, including managing pet bathing and grooming at a local grooming salon.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have taken care of family and friends pets for about 10 years. I love all kinds of animals. I currently have a 6 month old Pomeranian named Orsola who is an energetic and sweet puppy. She loves other animals! Your pet will be in very good hands with me. I work from home and will be available to take your dogs out multiple times and keep them entertained all day as well. I am available every day. I take my dog out for walks multiple times a day and have my house divided so the dog will stay on one side with me and my dog. I can also crate your dog if that is what you prefer.
About: Over the last year I have taken care of 2 dogs weeks at a time for a friend. One the dogs were very aggressive but trusted my calm and gentle energy. I currently work part-time in Immokalee and some of my hours can be a little scattered. I am also in college but this will not prevent me from giving your animals the best care so please reach out so we can discuss. I am good at following directions so whatever is requested will get done! Usually I make sure the cats and dogs are fed. and play with them outside so they have more than enough time to get attention and do their business. Whether the cats are inside or outside they would receive the same amount of attention.
“Allie did a fantastic job taking care of our little herd of animals and checking on our home. We usually have family or friends stay when we go out of town, but this time we had a last minute cancellation and needed someone during the week of Christmas. We had never used a pet sitting service before and definitely had our reservations about doing so. Allie came out to the house and met with us prior to making a commitment. The animals liked her right away and that's always a good sign. Our animals are used to someone being home most of the day so she came by 4 times a day and usually stayed for about an hour each time (starting at 5am and ending around 9:30pm). We have cameras so we could see the time she spent not just feeding and walking, but also playing and snuggling with them. You can tell she really loves her job. It worked out perfectly for us and kept everyone happy. It was also comforting to know someone was in and out of the house regularly to keep an aye on things and not leave the house looking vacant. She even brought in our mail for us. We will definitely use Allie in the future.”

“Velvet was wonderful! Our Bear is an old guy with special needs and medications and Velvet did a great job handling all that he needed. She kept us in the loop on all meals, walks and medications and even sent us photos along the way so we could see how happy he was (maybe too happy without us! LOL). We arrived home to a happy pup and our home safe and sound. We will definitely use Velvet again in the future :)”
