About: I have had a dog since I was 4 years old. She is 16 now, and she’s queen bee around our house! She’s had two ACL surgeries in the past, and now her back legs are unfortunately atrophied. Throughout these years, I have gained experience administering medicine, spoon feeding, and helping her walk. My family recently adopted a second dog, who was born in Ukraine and deals with pretty severe anxiety. We still have a ways to go with him, but the progress he has made has been amazing. I go to Ave Maria so I will be available during the whole school year! I do play lacrosse which is a spring sport however, I still tend to be decently flexible. I can find time to visit during the day and I am open to staying overnight! A lot of exercise and playtime. Meals and medicine 1-4 times a day depending on the breed and size. Some treats and lots of love!

Cara was wonderful from the first meet and greet and throughout her stay. She accommodated changes due to the passing of our one dog and comforting Luna during her transition to being a single dog. Luna had tummy issues and Cara stayed with her and gave her medication. I would absolutely use Cara again.

Excellent sitter. Couldn’t have asked for better. Duke was very comfortable with Vivian (Mary) and so were we. Vivian worked with us when our travel plans changed and was very helpful.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life and I had big, medium and small dogs in the past and I also had one cat. I took care of pregnant dogs, injured, spayed and neutered dogs. I have college classes Monday-Thursday I have classes during these times : @10am-3pm. I do not travel more than 25 minutes away from Immokalee. I can travel to Ave Maria & Felda. Let me know if you have any questions. I can care for your pet in my home or the client’s home, whichever the client prefers. If the client wants their pet to be in a crate, that’s fine with me too. Either way, I will take the pet on regular walks.

Sarah is the best! She has been so good with our dogs and so reliable. She sent updates throughout our trip, left our house spotless and made sure both pups were so well cared for. It’s so nice having complete peace of mind when we’re out of town. Could not recommend her enough!

About: Since I was born my family always had dogs and I fell in love with them. I got my own dog when I was 3 and was my companion till she died. Ever since the I always had extreme love for dogs. I’d be the one that plays with the family dog instead of spend time with my friends. I’ve house sat for several neighbors and family members with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Issues and wild alike. I love taking care of animals I currently am in college and run cross country but I am available in afternoons every day between 230 and 530. Along with this I’m available before 8 on tuesdays and Thursdays and on Monday, Wednesday Friday before 10. On weekends I’m mostly free unless I have a meet or morning practice. In clients homes I’m comfortable playing in the yard, cleaning up accidents, giving medicine or any extra treatment required. I am comfortable crating walking anything needed to make a dog feel safe and comfortable while there owner is away. I can give dogs special treats but will always ask permission from owners before doing or giving them anything.

Amber was great to work with while she stayed in our home with our three dogs. She loved on them all weekend and we could tell the dogs were happy and much more comfortable at home than at a kennel.

About: Flexible retired couple in their fifties that have always had dogs but when Murphy crossed the rainbow bridge we opted to care for other pups and combined travel with taking care of pooches with a pet sitting service. We're trustworthy, reliable and doggone fun! We have extra time on our hands now that we are retired! Your pup will be in good hands with us. Sometimes we're homebodies and other times we like to discover hidden gems in your neighborhood either way we have plenty of time to share our affection with your pup. While you are on vacation we may explore your hometown and be a tourist at local attractions, eateries and see the surroundings. Sometimes we're simply content with a lil patio time, reading, working out or cooking. Mike is a retired firefighter so yes he's rescued cats from trees and is EMS certified. I retired from GE Healthcare so I have countless accreditation from my Project Management career. We've owned homes and rental properties and don't mind coming to the rescue in your abode if there's a common household problem. Our motto is to leave your home better than how we found it. We'll certainly respect your home, keep your place tidy and assure your pets are safe.

About: I grew up in a house full of all different kinds of animals. When I was young, my mom would take me to the animal shelter she worked at and also taught me things over the years about owning, training, and caring for dogs. At one point we owned six dogs at once, as well as cats, rabbits, and many more. I have a deep love for animals/doggies and I like to take the dogs at the humane society out for walks in Naples. I attend college and work so my weekdays are pretty full, but I would love any opportunities to care for your pet in the morning, evening/night, or on the weekends. Because I live in a dorm, I can’t host any animals myself, but whatever instructions you give me and no matter what pet you have, I can do it. I’ve had experience with many different types and breeds of dogs and cats.

Jose was sooooo amazing. I felt so at peace leaving my dog Rex with him for three weeks! He kept me updated constantly with texts and with videos. I will be using him again in the future. Literally such a stress reliever to find someone who I could trust in Naples. Highly highly recommend! Thanks again to Jose and his family for taking care of my pup.

About: I grew up in a multi-animal household which included a range of small to large dogs that have made a mark in my life. I’ve even cared for friends and family’s dogs that ranged from full time puppy duty to even taking the time to smell the roses when it comes to the seniors who need a little extra time on their walk. At the moment I have stepped away from bartending and needing a rest for myself; so in the meantime I am available with an open schedule to help those in need for some pet care. *I understand my prices are little high, this is due to Rover only gives 80% to the sitter/handler, I am willing to negotiate prices via over a different payment option due their payout, I do work with anyone and everyone!* I currently live in a household where I personally cannot have animals (I live at my FIL’s house and he is strict about animals) with that being said I am able to house sit/board in your home due to this minor inconvenience; none the less your pet wouldn’t be neglected at any point, and the trust and safety will always be there. I house sit for regular of mine (his kitty Meowy) and when I’m there I’m ensure to follow instructions that are given, keeping her area tidy and clean, I feed on the schedule that has been implemented in your own household, etc. when it comes to dogs, I do the same along with plenty of playtime, potty breaks and walkies that are needed for your animal to keep thriving even when you are not home!
