House Sitting Ave Maria

About: I have been taking care of pets for the past two years. I love all breeds of dogs from small to big. I have done housesitting, visits, and dog walks. I cannot wait to meet more dogs! Pet care works with me almost every day that I am in town. I can work most hours and find time for your dog. I have lots of extra time I would love to spend walking a dog outside. I can care for any pet in any way the owner wishes. This is an addition to playing and giving the animal my full attention.

About: For more than 20 years, our life has been rooted in service and travel — first as a retired military family, and later as mission workers serving orphaned youth in the Dominican Republic. Through those experiences, home became especially meaningful to me. Some of the greatest joy in my life has come from raising my children, caring for our animals, and tending to our small homestead. Now that we are happily settled in Naples for good and my children are getting older, I have the opportunity to devote more time to caring for the homes and animals of others with the same love and attention I give my own. I am a homesteading and homeschooling Mom with older children, so my day is flexible with notice. I can do drop in visits to your home within a reasonable distance or stay over night keeping your pets comfortable in their own home as well. Because of the number of animals we already have on our little homestead, I’m only able to offer care for your fur-baby in your home.

About: I'm a teacher during the day, so my hours are flexible, especially during the summer. I'm a dog and a cat lover and would love to have some extra dog company. My two cats are used to dogs and don't mind them at all. I will go the extra mile to care for your fur babies as I would take care of mine. My first two dogs I had when I was younger, were Schipperkes named Skylar and Sampson. They were very hyper and lots of fun to walk around. I think I ended up making a ton of friends when I would take them with me because they were so interesting. That's what I like about dogs, they bring people together; love to all!

“Cara is awesome! She did an overnight with my dog, effectively communicated and sent pictures throughout the stay. I felt my dog was in very good hands. Highly recommend her!”

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!

About: I've cared for dogs of every kind and age since I was about 8 years old. Family, neighbors, and friends have always relied on me to help care for and love their pets, knowing I would do anything and everything for a dog. From training new puppies to giving that little extra care to seniors, I love doing it all! Currently I’m not busy full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for home visits and play on weekdays anytime from 7am - 3:30pm. I provide safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet during home visits and playtime. With that, I follow feeding schedules, give fresh water, clean up messes, provide playtime and love, monitor health and behavior, as well as keep owners updated with lots of messages and photos.

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.

About: Hello! I’m Kelby, a lifelong dog and cat lover with years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and today I share my home with a Chihuahua, a Labrador, a cat, and three family cats. My pet care journey started in childhood walking neighbors’ dogs, helping friends with their pets, and pet sitting whenever someone needed a hand. By 18, I enrolled in Animal Behavior College and turned that my passion into a profession, becoming an ABCDT-certified trainer and pet care provider. I’ve now worked professionally with dogs and cats for over four years, and I especially love helping anxious, fearful, or reactive pets feel safe and understood. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and care they need. Pet care is part of my everyday life. Not only as a pet parent but also working professionally with dogs. My dogs and I love to go to the beach, parks, and anywhere we can find that’s fun to sniff! My schedule can be complex at times so please reach out for more information. Your pets safety always comes first. I will keep a close eye on your pet along with their body language to make sure they’re comfortable and happy in any situation. With my CPR and First Aid training, I’m prepared for emergencies, but my goal is always to prevent issues before they happen.

About: I make sure every dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Whether it's training puppies, looking after seniors, or just giving plenty of attention, I treat every pup like my own! I've been around dogs my whole life. Big and small! Very flexible hours! I can come basically whenever you need me! We can figure out what you need and I can be there, I'm here till middle of August! I provide personalized care to every pet, whether in my home or yours. From daily walks and playtime to special attention for puppies or seniors, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any routines you set and treat them like part of the family!

“Victoria watched our two dogs for a long weekend and took wonderful care of them. She sent updates daily with photos and our dogs appeared to be quite comfortable! Our home was also very well maintained while she was here. Definitely keeping her on our list of sitters for future trips away!”

About: I bring over 20 years of personal dog experience plus hands-on training from working in veterinary hospitals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for pets comes naturally. Friends, neighbors, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and love their pets just like my own. I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital, but my schedule is consistent and gives me plenty of flexibility. I’m available on weekends and can also accommodate weekday bookings based on your needs. I’m happy to watch pets in their own home since most animals feel safest and most relaxed in their familiar space.

About: Hi! I’m Candice, a lifelong animal lover and dog owner with years of experience caring for pets of my own, as well as helping friends and family with theirs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience monitoring pets for health concerns and understand the importance of paying attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I live in a spacious home with a screened lanai and a large fenced yard, providing plenty of room for dogs to safely play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I do work full time. I am a salon consultant. I set my schedule. I am able to come before and after work and nights, weekends. I am able to do in-home to care for your pets. My family and I are in an apartment looking to buy a home. Eventually would like to pet sit in our home as well.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, as much as four in a household! The largest being over 100 pounds and the smallest under 10! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have learned to understand body language pretty well! A little over a year ago my family brought in a month old puppy that has now grown to be a malinois/shepherd/bully mix so I have experience with a work breed puppy as well! I am currently enrolled at FGCU, my classes start during the fall so I am a completely open book during the week and weekends for the rest of the summer! (Will update when I start my classes) I am used to staying at my clients homes, I feel it makes the animals more comfortable and the last thing they need is to stress! I usually ask for notes on how the pets are usually cared for and strictly follow those notes so I don’t disturb the animals mental clock!

“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.”

“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.”
