What a nice young man. When there is a schedule glitch, he has support to get the job done. And my finicky little dog really likes him, too!

About: From shi-tzus to great danes, all dogs have entered my life once or twice! I’ve bottle fed puppies and helped senior dogs use the bathroom if they need a little help standing. Just like people, I believe dogs need love and patience. If your dog loves to jump? I don’t mind! I’ve owned pitbulls, great danes, shi-tzus, labrador retrievers, chihuahuas, and more. If you want someone who doesn’t mind the size, consider me! I’m currently working on and off, so any time where I can fit a dog or cat into my schedule is a great one! Daily, anything before the day ends is free territory for me. Weekly, all days except weekends are ones where I’d love a few more pets in my schedule! In my home, dogs are let out into the backyard several times a day and walked in a large loop around the neighborhood several times a week. One of my dogs gets his food soaked in bone broth for about five minutes before he eats. He also gets bee pollen and an egg cracked into his meals. My cat is often found in my arms or played with several times a day. She enjoys her toy being jingled around and loves her (two)! cat scratching towers! I am very used to preparing meals for cats and kittens, as well as dogs and puppies both. I will do whatever crazy meal plan your dog or cat requires!

About: Hello! I’m Athena. I speak fluent English and am a native Spanish speaker. I’ve cared for dogs and cats on and off since the start of college. Most of my clients were based in Massachusetts suburbs before I moved away, and I’m newer to this app, with most of my experience coming from word of mouth and Nextdoor. I love animals and mainly do this work because I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, while also earning extra income doing something I care about. When I’m pet sitting, my phone is only used for taking photos, communicating with you about your pet, or playing appropriate music for animals. I’m very attentive and make sure your pet is supervised, even during quiet moments like naps or when they’re happily sniffing the same spot again! My schedule is very flexible! My goal is to follow yours and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I help provide care for a family member and pet sitting is my main source of income, which allows me to adjust my schedule around pet visits. I respect the space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication and daily routines. I also make sure the home stays secure and leave it just as I found it.

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: Being a fur mom of two and a human mommy of 3 means I can fully care and love on all the babies! I have a male maltipoo who is 7 and a Mini Bernadoodle who is one and she is my only little girl. Both came into our family as puppies. We’ve trained them ourselves and they are great playful doggies. I’ve doggy sat for neighbors and enjoy seeing the doggies play all day with each other. I am a SAHM and mostly available throughout the week , especially in summer when the kids activities are on break. Having this flexibility allows to give your pet the proper attention. We have a yard where doggies can play, it is not fenced but covered in privacy bushes. The house has plenty of room for your doggy to roam and play. They’ll will be accompanied all day.

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: 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’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.

About: Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. With 10+ years of pet care experience, I’ve been caring for pets in my own home for many years and truly treat every animal as if they were my own. I offer a calm, loving environment with a separate, dedicated pet space designed to give your pet a safe and comfortable place to relax whenever they’re not spending time with me. Each pet is provided with their own bed and blanket, along with fresh water available 24/7, so they always feel at home. I have experience caring for a wide variety of breeds and ages, including young puppies and senior dogs. My goal is to always tailor care to each pet’s individual needs. My fully fenced yard and backyard (1+ acres!) provide plenty of opportunities for safe play, exercise, and fresh air throughout the day. For bedtime and rest, all pets staying in my home sleep in their private 8x4x6 kennel, ensuring comfort, security, and personal space. When I’m not directly with them, pets are video monitored by me 24/7, giving you added peace of mind while you’re away. I strive to create a loving, structured, and stress-free environment so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into my home! 🐾💕 I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to spend most of my time at home with your pets, giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked here. During the short periods when I need to step away, dogs are safely secured in their private 8x4x6 video-monitored kennels, each set up with a cozy bed, soft blanket, toys, and fresh water to ensure comfort and peace of mind. I’m available for boarding every day, including weekends, making it easy to plan trips or getaways knowing your pet is in a safe, loving, and well-supervised environment. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I’ve created a calm, structured, and loving home environment where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and truly cared for. My home is thoughtfully set up with a separate, dedicated pet space designed for comfort and safety. While boarding with me, pets are allowed to freely roam my home with little-to-no restrictions and constant supervision. During any brief times I’m away, they are securely settled in their private 8x4x6 kennels, complete with a cozy bed, blanket, toys, and fresh water. Moments of rest and bedtime will also take place in the same kennels. Any time pets are secured in their assigned kennels, they are video monitored by me 24/7, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. I take trust very seriously and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and care instructions closely. With experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention and patience. My fully fenced yard offers a safe, controlled space for playtime, exercise, and enrichment, allowing pets to burn energy while staying protected. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or enjoys quiet companionship, I work to create a positive, stress-free environment where they feel at home. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and treated like family while you’re away. 🐾💕
