House Sitting in Bokeelia

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any kind since i was around 13. I love them unconditionally, they bring happiness to everyone. I have my own dogs, bigger breeds, and occasionally dogsit for my sister when she’s out of town! this is my full time! so i have plenty of time to make it everywhere i need to be! i make this my top priority day in and day out! my dogs are free roam in the house, trained and well behaved. my cat is also free roam and is well behaved, and likes almost everyone! if your animals are crate trained, that’s fine! your house your rules! i always stick to what the owners prefer, like, etc. for their animal. i never go the route of sticking to my own rules, it’s not my animal, the owner knows best!

“Brooke took very good care of our dog Lucy (mixed lab) while we were away for 6 days. She stayed overnight and made sure Lucy got her meds on time, sent daily pics and was even accommodating with our flight schedule changes to make sure Lucy was cared for. I will definitely be using Brooke again in the future.”

“This is our second time using Terri. She does a fantastic job watching our fur baby. She keeps you posted about everything going on at home and sends pictures. She’s a wonderful choice for a pet sitter and is very respectful of your home.”

“I cannot begin to say enough about Debra. From the second that our boy Rhody met her, he was completely attached to her. She told me that she loves senior dogs, but you can just tell she truly loves ALL creatures, young and old, big and small. I cannot stand leaving Rhody, but I was completely comfortable leaving our baby in her care. She assured us that he would be well taken care of, and loved on and he definitely was. He takes many different vitamins & medications and she followed my every neurotic note to a T, lol. She provided pictures and sent texts and answered calls, and made us feel completely comfortable. I cannot express the gratitude I have, she’s an amazing human being & lover of animals. We feel so very blessed to have found her.”

“Charles was kind, responsive, and took amazing care of our dogs. He checked in with us daily and sent photos. Our dogs looked happy and relaxed upon our return. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”

About: I grew up in a home of dogs and cats and now have one of each myself, so I have lots of experience with both. I have cared for a wide range of breeds, ages and personalities. I can administer medication, change doggy diapers and tire your pet out with fetch (or whatever they like). Favorite pet sitting experience: dog sitting 6 australian shepherds and 3 cats all under the same roof. All with different diets and daily routines. So much energy and so much speciality food. I am in the slow season of my seasonal job so I have more room for pet care than usual. My schedule changes weekly so my weekly availability varies. I have a super friendly dog that can keep your dog company for boarding or daycare. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m careful to read instructions very carefully and check in with the owner if unsure about anything.

“Sarah is exactly who you would want with your dog, if you love your dog. She is kind and sincere, as well as understands how important my dog is to me. I will not hesitate to contact Sarah every time I need a sitter/ walker/ friend for my dog.”

About: Taking care of my childhood dog for 12 yrs. On 1/4/24 i got a puppy, her name is Indigo & she’s my whole world. We have 6 cats at my mom’s house as well. I love all animals. My professional experience includes having worked at Petcoral Veterinary Hospital and Resort doing boarding and sitting in daycare along with helping veterinarians administer meds, do anal glands, nail trimming, bathing & etc. Pet care fits into my daily routine because i'm working on various projects at home so i prefer not to be employed full time. I enjoy the freedom of working odd jobs and the enjoyment of meeting new pets/people. I'm happy to do whatever you need me to for your pet/s and make sure all their needs are taken care of. I love animals & i love to travel so pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I love meeting new dogs/cats & getting to know their unique personalities. I care for pets by making sure they're fulfilled physically and mentally. Whether its petting them as much as they want or playing with them, i wanna become one of their favorite humans to spend time with.

“Pawsitively Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! My first time having Jennifer care for our 3 large dogs and house sit, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding care my dogs received. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Jen exuded professionalism and genuine love for dogs from the moment we met. Her warm and caring demeanor immediately put all my dogs and me at ease, making it clear that they would be in good hands. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, from initial arrangements to daily updates on my dog's well-being. One aspect that truly stood out was the daily updates and photos provided by Jen. These thoughtful messages not only reassured me of my dog's happiness but also allowed me to feel connected to their experiences in my absence. Her attention to detail was impressive, she came over twice prior to our trip and took the time to learn about my dog's habits, preferences, and any special needs, taking notes about their care and routine. It was evident that they went above and beyond to make my dog feel comfortable and loved during my absence. It was evident that she treated my dogs as if they were part of her own family. Then our flight got delayed over 8 hours and upon advising Jennifer she immediately offered to stay longer, and come back again to check on them without any hesitation, I couldn't be more thankful and grateful for her going above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter. Her passion for animals, combined with their professionalism and attention to detail, makes her a standout choice for pet owners looking for top-notch care. I can confidently say that I will be booking Jen for all my future dog sitting needs, knowing that my boys will be in the best hands possible. Thank you for the fantastic experience!”

“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”

It’s nice to know that while you are here playing, your fur-baby is also having a grand time. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I should say I am an animal lover. I've had cats in my past also. My mother had dogs in our home, so I was raised with them. About my yard It is a fenced in yard, not too large, but big enough for them to play and run around. My experience administering medication Yes. As I have two pups of my own, I have experience in doing this job. I have administered medication to my client's pups when they needed it.

I have loads of time to play with your pups! I'm home most of the time except for some errands. They will love it here with my two! I let my pet run free and they are allowed to sleep with me. I can also crate your pet if that is how you have trained him/her.
