House Sitting in Copeland

About: My experience with animals started in middle school when I began caring for two elderly Shih Tzus. From there, I started dog sitting for families around Goodland throughout my high school years, simply because of my genuine love for animals. Over time, I expanded my experience by fostering dogs for the Cleveland County Animal Shelter in North Carolina, where I’ve cared for multiple breeds with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. This was something I truly enjoyed and did on my days off from practice as I am a Division 1 NCAA athlete, which can be proof to my dedication and abilities at time management and multi-tasking! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m very active, organized, and enjoy spending time outdoors. As a Division 1 athlete, staying active and keeping in shape is already a big part of my lifestyle, so I love opportunities that allow me to exercise while caring for animals through walks, playtime, and staying engaged with them throughout the day. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great balance alongside my training and schedule. My goals to make your animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I dealt with mainly rescues from the Cleveland county shelter and found a passion for making trust with animals. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, cleanliness, and safety at all times to make sure pets are happy and stress-free. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and home, so I always aim to be dependable, respectful, and communicative throughout the stay.

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 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

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: Loving care with one-on-one attention. Experienced with all breeds, including anxious and high-energy dogs. Safe, cozy home, car rides, fun walks, and regular photo updates! I work a remote, flexible schedule, giving me time to explore and adventure through new lakes, parks, and trails with plenty of flexibility for pet care. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment by meeting families, discussing special instructions, and ensuring a mutual connection for the best possible care experience.

About: I provide reliable, attentive pet sitting backed by hands-on experience in a veterinary clinic. I have assisted with multiple canine births and have helped care for a litter of puppies through recovery from parvo, giving me strong experience with both routine and critical care. I’m comfortable administering medications as directed and monitoring pets closely for any changes in their health. If veterinary attention is ever needed, I have the ability to bring your pet with me to work for prompt, professional care and peace of mind. Beyond my clinical experience, I’m a fun, loving sitter who truly enjoys spending quality time with animals. I love taking dogs out for walks, park visits, beach trips, and, of course, plenty of snuggles. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own while you’re away. I’m available for pet sitting any day of the week. If you prefer that your dog not wait for potty breaks while I’m at work, I can bring them with me to the veterinary clinic, where they’ll be safely cared for and taken out regularly throughout the day. I have a fully fenced 10-acre property that provides plenty of safe space for exercise and play. I also have five friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own who enjoy interacting and playing with other dogs.

“Kaitlin took amazing care of my cat, Daisy, while I was away for the holidays. My typically shy cat who is extremely hesitant with new people clearly loved Kaitlin, wanting attention and pets! Daisy was very well cared for and I came home to a happy girl.”

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!

“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.”

“We just finished an overseas trip and were gone for two and a half weeks. Our Mini Golden Doodle “Lily” is 3 years old and we are very attached to her and we were concerned about leaving her anywhere for that long. After considering all types of care we decided our best option was to have someone move into our home with Lily while we were away. Debbie came and stayed days and nights for the duration, taking excellent care of Lily for us. Debbie is a mature professional who is able to work from home, so she is ideal for extended absences or any other dog care that requires flexibility.We highly recommend her!”

“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!”

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.

“Regina is an amazing dog sitter and person . I got picture’s and updates from her though out the day of my two puppies. They were happy and well taken care of. My house was spotless just the way I left it. Amazing job thank you Regina.😊”

“Abby took care of my furry friends when I had to make an emergency trip to New Mexico. My cat who normally hides for at least 3 days, was out and about the night I left! I wasn't sure if they would come back to me.”

About: Although most people see this as a job, i see pet-sitting as a fun and exciting opportunity to make new friends all with their own personalities:)! Seeing as i don’t really find myself going out much now-a-days, pet sitting seems like the only right option needed to be taken way sooner. I believe in everyone having their own schedules for their babies, so i try to keep their routines to allow more comfort for all parties.
