“Taylor is amazing, my pups immediately took to her. She was here everday we needed her and sent pics for us to see our 4 legged family members while we were on vacation. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely use her again in the future!”


About: I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have 5 dogs and 1 cat I care for. I also have experience working as a kennel tech for 2.5 years and still currently employed where I do things like Feed, medicate, walk, bathe, vaccinate, and other services clients may ask for. I take care of 5 dogs and 1 cat at home and at work I care for plenty more dogs and cats. I am constantly running around making sure they are fed, medicated, and fully updated with additional services clients request. With my job in an animal hospital I am experienced in seeing changes in dog’s body language and knowing how best to care for them for the current situation. I have experience caring for everything from small dogs to the biggest dogs.

“Hannah was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my cat but she went above a beyond by getting my kitty food when she noticed we were running out. I will definitely rebook with her next time we are out of town.”


About: I have been surrounded by dogs since age 2. From Boxers and Yellow Labs to Dachshunds and Great Danes. At age 11 I began caring for the other pups around the neiborhood and have loved it ever since. I just graduated college so I will have plenty of time to give your pups the care that they deserve! Without a doubt your pups will be at ease while you are traveling. When I care for others pets I am sure to become well adjusted to their environment and what they are used to so they feel at ease. With plenty of snuggles, playtime or walks outside.

About: My name is Dixan, animals have always been important to me. I believe that they should be cared for and treated as well as we treat ourselves. I've been around dogs and cats since I can remember; I have a three year old dog of my own, and I share responsibility in caring for two other dogs. I lived on a property that provided Corgi and mutt rescues and rehabilitation in Oklahoma City. Id help foster dogs, train basic behaviors and commands, and help find them a new home. I learned a lot about how to deal with animals there, it was a great experience. I've dogsat dogs with breathing trouble, diabetes, incontinence, physical disability, and blindness. I've sat very old dogs, and very young puppies and kittens. As far as walking, I have helped trained dogs to restrain from pulling while on leash. All training methods I have learned are positive reinforcement based methods. I'm not a fan of some of the other methods. I have a very flexible schedule. I am my own boss so I can usually work with what you’d like me to do and when you’d like me to be there. I will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’ll give them individual attention and care. I’m comfortable walking and playing with dogs of all sizes. One of my own dogs has to be crated sometimes, so I’m no stranger to that if you need it.

About: I have externed at a veterinary clinic, volunteered at animal shelters, and completed a NAVTA Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) Program in 2017. I provided palliative care for my own senior pup at the end of his life. Currently, I have two cats. I have always been an animal lover and take great joy and caring for our four-legged companions. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. I currently work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and have ample time to give all the care and attention that your pet needs. I can stay on property full-time if desired, only stepping away for food runs/necessities. I am prompt and professional. Please let me know if you have any special instructions or if your pet has special needs that require specific care requirements. I will do everything I can to provide a calm and enjoyable experience for your furbaby.

About: I have a 6 year old French bulldog of my own that I treat with absolute love and respect. I will treat your furry friends like my own and take them on walks; car rides and dog parks! I have a pristine clean environment that we can enjoy spending time together in while you’re unable to watch them! Pet care is my whole life! I am a stay at home dog Mom myself and my furry baby loves to have other furry friends over to share her toys with! With the upmost love care and respect! Just like I would care for my own sweet furry baby. I have 6 years of experience with my French bulldog and 12 years experience taking care of my Maltese as a child. I absolutely love animals!!

About: What truly sets me apart is the personal connection I build with each pet and their owner. I don’t just “watch” pets—I care for them as if they were my own. I’m highly responsive, detail-oriented, and offer regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I also limit the number of pets I care for at once to ensure each one gets the individual attention they deserve. With Puppy Passion Pet Services, your pet’s well-being is never just a job—it’s my calling! Pet care isn’t a hobby or a side gig for me—this is my full-time business and passion. My entire daily routine is built around providing the best care for the pets I look after. From morning walks to evening playtime, I’m fully dedicated to their well-being. Since this is my primary focus, I offer flexible scheduling, quick communication. I have a fenced back yard for your babies to run around in, and 1 small dogs for them to play with. Whether day or night your babies will be well loved and cared for. We give the dogs bottle water.


“Deb is amazing! So sweet and easy to work with! My animals are sometimes difficult and she is so patient and kind to them! She is dependable and professional. I highly recommend her.”


“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were traveling for a few days. She clearly adores cats, and spared no effort to make sure they were loved & well cared for. We have some tricky care requirements, but she was able to handle them with grace. We look forward to working with her again!”


“It was so nice having Catherine stop in so I didn’t have to worry about the pups when I got scheduled for a long shift. She was on time, sent pictures, and communicated through the whole day. Thank you Catherine!”


About: CLEAN, NON SMOKING, HOME – Private Fenced Yard ~ Dog sitting is part of my business called Gail’s Personal Assistant Services. Please INCLUDE A CONTACT NUMBER IN YOUR INITIAL MESSAGE. I prefer communicating by phone or text. I have two small dogs, a Toy Poodle and a Yorkshire Terrier. My back yard is fenced and safe. I sit for many clients who come to the island and stay at inns that do not allow dogs. I have great references. 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. My Overnight Stays An overnight stay is 24 hours. If you are gone over the 24 hour period for the one stay, then there is an additional charge for a day care stay.

About: I’ve cared for pets since childhood, welcoming my grandchildren’s pets into my home for stays and play. I’m empathetic to animals’ needs, engaging puppies with energetic play and providing gentle mobility support and enrichment for senior companions. I’ll sit with them during storms, offering comfort and reassurance, and I adapt my care to nurture every furry friend. I begin each day with feeding and an energizing walk, followed by a midday check-in with playtime and potty breaks. Afternoons allow personal tasks while I stop by every few hours for meals, water, and bathroom trips. Evenings include another walk, grooming, and relaxation time. Weekends feature extended outings and enrichment. I remain flexible for storms or emergencies, adapting my plan to each pet’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a thoroughly pet-proofed space. I remove hazards, supervise play, and use gates or crates to give shy or new guests their own quiet area. Doors, windows, and fences are checked before every visit, and fresh water and clean bedding are always available. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow each owner’s routines and house rules exactly. I secure doors and gates, tidy up potential dangers, and monitor food and water levels. I arrive promptly and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.


“Rachel was great! She was prompt, consistent and loving to our dogs with regular communication to us on our overseas trip. Unfortunately, the dogs are now spoiled and expect our constant attention!”


About: My name is Tracy, 37, and a Florida native. I’m self employed, and have a lot of free time during the week while I'm working on projects from home and also work in real estate. I love to get out during the day to exercise, so why not with your pet!? Growing up, as a child we had many pets of all sorts. I've had experience with dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, snakes, iguanas, alligators, monkeys, deer, and even a tarantula! I've done animal, rehabilitation for baby birds of prey and other baby "wild animals." Training and caring for animals has always come second nature for me and love helping people with their pets. I traveled part time for work for 12 years and always had to leave my pets with a sitter, so I know how nice it is to leave town knowing your pet is safe. Our pets are our children and also LIKE CHILDREN and can get into things or "out" of places in a matter of seconds, so feels great to leave knowing someone is aware of that responsibility. If you have any questions or special requests please feel free to contact me and ask. My schedule is open and flexible. Though out the week my schedule is different daily but I can always plan and work out new things into my day. When I am working with real estate clients or home doing other projects I can really make my day how I want. I do not offer pet boarding in my home unfortunately. I do not have the space or accommodations to have pets staying in my home.

“Beth is amazing! She was so wonderful with my puppy and followed every instruction I left for her, even writing things down and asking questions about what I'd like her to do in specific scenarios. She was super punctual, kind, and compassionate, and I am lucky to have met her! My dogs are my world, and they compete in several dog sports, which means I'm always a little anxious about leaving them with someone new- but I certainly didn't have to worry with Beth!”


“Wonderful and caring support from Marina. She is attentive and aware of what our pups need. Our dogs love her! The communication is open and thorough and I feel super comfortable with this while process as we are new to this site. Marina has been patient with me and helped me along the way. Thank you!”


About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I am a dog mom to an adorable Aussie! I’ve raised, trained, and housebroken two puppies (my own dog and a golden retriever puppy). I absolutely love puppies and providing them with a routine. You can rest assured your pup will be in a good home! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or dogs with special needs so please keep this in mind! I make pets priority. During the evenings, I will take your dog and my dog for a long walk in the neighborhood or on the beach. I live on Sanibel Island. I am able to bike or drive to your home to walk your dog! Please let me know how long you would like me to walk them, as it is very hot outside!

Tracy M.
“Tracy is great! She has watched my goldendoodle and Frenchie for about a year each time I need to leave town. I’m gone any where from 1-4 days at a time. She stays in our home and takes care of them, feeding 2 times a day, playing ball mid- day in the yard, and walking them in the evenings. Such a relief to not have to worry while I’m. She checks in with photos and we have never had any issues! Highly recommend!”
