House Sitting in 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 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.”

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!

“Erick is a great house and pet sitter. He was on top of everything. Took care and was very respectful! Would book again for any of our pet needs”

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: Almost a year ago, I experienced the loss of my beloved dog, Max, who had been by my side his entire life. I provided him with the highest level of care and attention, ensuring he lived a long, happy, and healthy life. Max’s passing was due to old age, and while it was a difficult goodbye, I take pride in knowing he was cherished and given premium care every step of the way. My experience caring for him has deepened my commitment to treating every dog I look after with the same love, patience, and respect that I gave to Max. Im currently searching for full-time work in my area. In the meantime would like to make some cash helping take care of your pet. :) I take my dog for daily walks, feed him at various times, make sure he gets outside enough to go potty. Spend time petting and loving on them is always number 1.

About: I care for dogs with a calm, attentive approach tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether that means providing structure for high-energy dogs, a gentle pace for anxious ones, or consistency with routines, my goal is to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own, making sure they’re well cared for, settled, and at ease. I work from home, which allows me to be present and provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, as no specific day or time is off the table. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment for pets in my care. I live on the ground floor of a gated community in a spacious home, making potty breaks and supervision easy and consistent. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine, and can accommodate crating if needed.

About: I’m a veterinary technician with hands-on experience from working in a shelter, caring for both dogs and cats of all temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from small breeds to large working dogs, as well as reactive, rescue, and more independent or “grumpy” pets. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets for years and have had dogs my whole life. I’m comfortable with routines, medications if needed, and reading animal behavior to keep your pet safe and stress-free. Happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate daytime visits, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. As a veterinary technician, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and any specific needs your pet may have. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Ivanna. I have 6 years of pet sitting experience and own two German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with large, energetic dogs, understand routines and behavior, and provide reliable, attentive care. All breeds and sizes welcome! I’m currently enrolled in college, Mondays and Wednesdays I am not available 1-3:15 pm. Aside from that I’m available the remaining week days and weekend! For drop-ins and house sitting, I stick to your pet’s normal routine and follow all instructions. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I make sure pets are safe, doors and gates are secure, and your home is respected. I send updates so you know how things are going.

“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: I’ve owned pets my entire life, mainly dogs. I have owned a variety of breeds but mainly chihuahuas, and now care for my German Shepherd and two cats daily. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, training basics, and reading pet body language to keep animals safe and comfortable. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, including caring for a diabetic dog requiring insulin injections and a special diet. I’m confident administering medication, following routines precisely, and monitoring health needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Your animal’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. I update my availability based on when I’m home in Florida from school. I’m looking to use my extra time doing something I enjoy like caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure while you’re away. In your home, I want to know feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, preferred walking routes, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior that might signal stress or discomfort. I keep a calm, clean environment and ensure pets have fresh water and attention tailored to their energy level. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident trusting me with your pets and for them to feel safe, loved, and respected in my care.

“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 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. I follow your routines closely, keep things calm and clean, and make sure your pet gets all the love, playtime, and attention they’re used to. I can also crate if needed and will always keep you updated with photos and messages.

About: I grew up with all types of different animals. Cats, dogs, hampsters, rabbits, and frogs. Currently I have Angel who is 13 years old cat. I have a gated back yard where they can roam free. My door is always open. I just need to know what you need for your pet and I’ll do the rest. If they need contact and cuddles, or if they need to play ball, I am your perfect pet angel. I gate off sections of my house I do not want my dog to get into. The living room is his space. He knows his room. If I need to crate him he knows that as well. He is a very friendly dog, but even if you have an animal that does not like dogs, I have geeked off parts of my house to be able to keep them separated.

I have years of experience in the field, including animal ER hospitals and clinics both wildlife and domestic, as well as dog/cat daycare and boarding at Pet Paradise. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology 🧪 with a pre-professional concentration in animal sciences and will be pursuing vet school in the near future. I have experience in caring for animals with specific needs, and am able to administer most medications if necessary due to my years of on hands experience in the exam rooms of animal clinics and hospitals. I love animals of all sizes, and have always had pets at home, thus why I will be pursuing a career in the field and continuing to love and appreciate animals for the rest of my life. I have lots of love and attention to give and would love to meet your furry friends! I am currently available all days of the week, as I work from home and will be able to provide constant attention and care to your pets anytime of day, including frequent potty breaks and lots of play time. Pets can feel as though they’re at home, when staying in my home. Pets are allowed on furniture, and will have free range of the home, they will only be crated if specifically requested by owners. Pets MUST be up to date on Vaccines (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella) are a must. Will ask for records to verify! This is required to ensure that my pup and all other guests remain healthy and happy!
