House Sitting Carnestown

About: I’ve grown up in a house full of dogs and cats my entire life. I’m patient and loving and if your dog or cat needs a comforting place to stay, I’m your girl. I allow pets on furniture and to cuddle in bed. I have two Cavalier King Charles who are friendly and playful to keep them company. Accidents happen and if they do I will handle it with a gentle approach if your dog is a puppy or a senior. I am not working during the summer so my days consist mostly of cuddling in the couch with my pets, home workouts and walks with my dogs. I walk my dogs on leashes on the sidewalk and occasionally take them to the dog park. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am careful when I open my doors and ensure that each dog is leashed before opening the door to go outside for a walk.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs throughout my life, personally owning a large Newfoundland and an Australian Cattle dog, so I have experience dealing with extremely high and low energy breeds. Im a life long animal lover who is currently pursuing my undergraduate in Animal Sciences with a focus on pre veterinarian medicine. In the past Ive dealt more with larger zoo animals like wolves and lynx's but Im always a sucker for some cute dogs. Im currently working mid week, Im available for boarding at any time however during M,T,Th,F bathroom breaks will be limited to 4-8 hours. During weekends and Wednesdays Ill be available to give your furry friends all the attention they need throughout the day. I live in a condo with no designated yard however there is an unfenced yard available for use and dogs will be taken on frequent walks, at least 2 times a day but this varies on your dogs needs. Im open to all dog sitting styles so if you like your dog crated at night or left to roam around just let me know. If your dog has specific preferences or needs please just specify before dropping them off.

About: As the proud owner of a beloved Chihuahua for 17 years, I understand that pets are truly family and deserve patient, loving care. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and special needs, including seniors, puppies, and pets requiring extra attention. I have a calm, gentle approach that helps anxious animals feel safe and comfortable, and I’m confident administering medications and providing attentive care for pets with medical needs. I currently serve as the Treasurer of my HOA, where I successfully advocated for and helped establish policies allowing emotional support animals in our community. I treat every pet with the same compassion, respect, and care I would want for my own. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle because I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to dedicate my full attention to your pets and home. I’m currently between professional opportunities, which allows me the time and availability to provide consistent companionship, walks, playtime, medication administration, and attentive care throughout the day. I truly enjoy being present with animals and love creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while their owners are away. Your pet’s routine, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for your dog in your home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love. I’m comfortable with crate training, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, senior care, special needs, and administering medications when needed. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and comfort levels so I can provide personalized care while you’re away. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, keeping your pet safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

“David did an EXCELLENT job taking care of our (2) Great Danes and our home while we were on vacation for a week. We received daily updates and pics of our fur babies. David is a kind and caring man who takes great pride in his love for animals. We would absolutely use David again and highly recommend him. We would give him 10 stars if that were an option!”

“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 have owned 5 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 40 years and provide service in Naples, FL, Marco Island and Bonita Springs. I am available most days in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves. I would prefer to come to your home, only because my home is not fenced in, but could keep the dog on a leash at all times outside

“2nd time with Charles and he continues to take such good care of our pups! We appreciate him and will continue to use him when we need a dog sitter!”

“Ava has such a beautiful kind spirit. Her care and compassion for animals is immediately evident and much appreciated. I enjoyed the communication while Ava stayed with my Elvis and Roo. Dependable and hardworking! Will definitely book with Ava again in the future.”

“Erin is the most amazing soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had a different rover sitter scheduled weeks in advance that was supposed to stay in my house with my 2 frenchies while I went back to MD to visit with family. The night before my flight I received a message from the sitter saying he could not make it & the booking was cancelled, needless to say I was panicking trying to find someone last minute. It turns out that was the biggest blessing because Erin saved my entire trip! She is so wonderful! She was willing to stop by my house an hour after contacting her so I could show her where everything was and so she could meet Loki and Diesel. She treated my frenchies as if they were her own! She sent me updates, videos and pictures multiple times a day! I always worry about someone watching my dogs because I have one frenchie who is jealous and shows aggression towards my other frenchie. That did not deter Erin, she accepted the challenge and navigated everything with patience and grace! I feel so lucky that the initial rover sitter canceled less than 12 hours before my scheduled flight because it lead me to Erin!”

About: CURRENT AVAILABILITY: Mon-Fri: 4pm- 11pm Fri (evening)- Sun: All day + overnights Hello everyone! My name is Nicole, and I grew up in Indiana where I spent many years caring for my own pets, the pets of friends and neighbors, and the pets of clients at a local doggy daycare and boarding facility. I work in the environmental field with particular focus on wildlife research meaning I also have experience handling a variety of wild animals for monitoring and conservation. I most recently started a job in the south Florida area, and I deeply miss caring for your fur babies! With that being said, if you are out of town this month or need some extra attention for your pet during the holidays, please reach out! Currently, my availability is limited to the evenings and weekends :) Some of my background… I began pet sitting in my own home as a child, where I learned the basics of animal care and behavior through my dog, two cats, and tortoise. My care experience became more comprehensive as they reached old age which translated well as I began looking after the pets of friends and neighbors by walking, feeding, medicating, and of course giving their animals lots of attention while they were away. As my professional career shifted toward wildlife research and handling, my experience in animal care increased significantly. I spent eight months out of this past year working as a pet care tech at a cage-free doggy day care and boarding facility, where I handled all different sizes, ages, and demeanors of dogs in groups of 10-25 animals. I became very effective in evaluating dog behavior in order to mitigate negative interactions in the groups and monitor any changes in their health while they were under my care. On top of this, I spent time bathing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, brushing, feeding, and playing with dogs every single day. Furthermore, I took extra steps to provide notes on each dog’s health, behavior, and their playmates while they were under my supervision so that the owners knew what their dog was up to while they were away! This extra effort earned me the first employee of the month designation the company has awarded in many years. I left this position when I accepted a role at a national park, but I would love to dive back into the pet care world and visit your furry friends! I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages and I will see to their medical and behavioral needs as directed by you-the owner! I love to focus on reducing anxiety and energy levels through the activity most suited to the pet whether that be playing with a particular toy, training, or going on a walk. Furthermore, I will give attention to the pet based on their behavioral cues so not to cross their boundaries if they’re wary of new people. When meeting your pet I will approach them with this in mind as well, and I love to get as much information about their needs as possible. Like I said when I discussed my experience working at a doggy daycare, I am very dedicated to providing updates about your pet with thorough notes and many pictures, so if this sounds like the right fit for you, please reach out! I’m currently working a full-time position from 8-4pm right outside of Naples and Marco Island. Therefore, I’m only available for overnight care Friday night-Sunday. Otherwise, my availability is limited to walks and drop-in visits after 4pm during the week. I will only provide care in the client’s home, where I am willing to provide overnight boarding services, walks, drop-in sessions and more! I am comfortable with animals of all demeanors and needs which I will talk with the client about extensively before and during care. Furthermore, I can provide regular updates with pictures as requested by the client, and I will leave a summary of your animal’s behavior and wellbeing at the end of their care!

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: Hi! I am Sara, and I just moved back to Naples after being out in the Southwest for the past few years. Originally from upstate NY, I lived in NYC for over 13 years, then I moved out to San Diego, then down to Naples, then out to Phoenix….and finally decided to come back to Florida to settle. However, I travel a lot as well, so I am able to provide services in other cities depending on my travel schedule. Growing up, I had a rabbit and a mini dachshund as pets. Currently, I am the proud mom of four adorable guinea pigs and 3 dogs (2 Corgis and an Aussie shepherd). My experience with animals is extensive. I began taking care of dogs and cats at a young age and by middle school I had a successful neighborhood pet-sitting service. Additionally, I attended farm camp (yes, that exists haha) from age 6-11, and at 13 years old, I started working at the same farm (as farm staff and as a counselor for the kids' day and overnight camp programs). The farm was primarily a dairy farm, home to a herd of Jersey, Guernsey, and Holstein cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, and of course....plenty of dogs and cats. I worked there over 7 years and loved every minute of it. The responsibility and work-ethic that comes from animal husbandry is priceless - not only do I greatly value manual labor, but I also appreciate the dedication and daily grind that is intrinsic to farming and to ensuring that dependent animals' basic needs are met. Despite having lived in NYC, I still manage to spend time on farms and I travel extensively throughout the U.S., visiting and helping many friends/family that have different animals. Most recently, I have worked on a cattle ranch in Montana and goat dairy in Missouri, which were both a wonderful experiences. Since I have a full household of pets (and an human child) I am unfortunately unable to host any pets in my home. However, it is quite easy for me to get to places around the area, so I am happy to come to your home and take care of your pets. Sometimes, this is even better because then the animal(s) get to stay in the comfort of their home and don't experience the stress of a new environment, coupled with the absence of their owner! I am a very active person - so I look forward taking dogs out for long walks and playing with them! I prefer that we schedule services a week in advance (as specified), but I know that emergencies happen and sometimes you need somebody last minute. I am happy to occasionally provide last-minute services, especially since I have a somewhat flexible work schedule and my mode of transportation is quick! Most importantly, I have a deep respect and love for all animals. I look forward to meeting your creatures and you can rest assured that they will be in fabulous hands! I work full time but my hours are flexible. Additionally, I travel a lot, so I will update my location if I plan to be in a certain place for more than 5 days. Please do not hesitate to reach out with a booking inquiry. I always do my best to accommodate. The guinea pigs are in a nice hutch. The dogs stay in the kitchen when I am not home and they sleep inside the house.

“Kaitlin is so great! She updated me during her stay with them and it really helped put me at ease knowing my pets were cared for! I would definitely recommend her and I look forward to having her come again!”

Chloe H.

“Ellie was phenomenal! We are new to Rover and were worried about leaving our dogs with a new person, but she was very communicative and sent lots of updates which put our minds at ease. The dogs seemed to enjoy her and her energy. We would definitely recommend Ellie and work with her again!”

About: I’ve been trusted to care for multiple homes in my neighborhood since 2022, especially for snowbirds who travel back and forth. I regularly look after two neighboring homes when they’re away, making sure everything stays safe, clean, and in order. I handle things like checking in on the house, bringing in mail, keeping things tidy, and making sure everything feels maintained while the owners are gone. I’m someone people rely on because I’m consistent, attentive, and take pride in caring for a home like it’s my own. I’m a college student with online classes, so I’m home most of the time and pretty flexible. I can easily work around your pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, feeding, or just keeping them company so they’re not alone. I’m usually available throughout the day, weekdays and weekends, and I’m very consistent with showing up and sticking to what your pet is used to. I’m very big on making sure pets feel comfortable and not stressed while their owner is away. I’ve cared for pets for coworkers, neighbors, and family, including cat sitting and dog walking, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I’m also a nurse, and I’ve worked with both seniors and children, so being patient, attentive, and calm comes naturally to me. I pay attention to small changes, follow instructions closely, and keep things clean and organized. I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease knowing your pet is safe and cared for.

About: My neighbors and friends dogs love me and know that I always have a treat for them. It doesn't matter how long they want to play catch and I love sharing my bed. I walk daily and am looking forward to sharing my routine with your fur baby. I am available most days of the week and always on weekends. I am a long term resident of Naples, Florida and am willing to stay with your fur baby. I love to snuggle and watch tv with them on my lap. I know local vets and the best parks for walking.

About: I currently own a dog, a bird, a fish, and hamster. Ive grown around dogs and animals all my life. I understand body behavior and trust = patience. No dog is aggressive, its just scared. I got a 10 week old puppy last year, it now knows how to wait for its food until commanded, give paw, sit, laydown, and roll over. I love animals and have had experience my entire life! I work at a pizza hut with a pretty flexible schedule, I can always work around your schedule and im very flexible when it comes to having availability. I care for pets as if they were my own by following all instructions closely and prioritizing their safety and comfort. I make sure dogs get proper exercise, fresh water, and positive attention. I respect clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and provide updates for peace of mind.
