About: I am 35 years old and living in Ft. Myers with my friends and dog. Some words to describe me are: hard-working, intelligent, wise, friendly, silly, honest, and genuine. Ever since I was a young child, I have loved animals of all kinds and have wanted to work with them. As a pet sitter, I can combine my love of pet care with an appreciation for their humans and homes! In the future, I would love to open a counseling practice where I train special cats and dogs to be therapy animals. I have volunteered at an animal shelter and have experience dog and babysitting for several people. I am open to caring for other animals in the home, such as cats and reptiles as I have cared for those animals throughout my life. I look forward to taking care of your beloved pets! I cannot host pets in my home, as my dog does not play well with other animals. If I am staying overnight at your home, I can offer additional services such as babysitting and cleaning. I will happily follow your guidelines and rules regarding the care of your pet. I work full time during the week so I cannot provide 24/7 care Monday-Friday but can provide 24/7 care during the weekends I am available. I work Monday-Friday from 8:45-4:30. I am free during the week and on weekends unless otherwise specified and could take care of clients after I get off work during the week. I cannot provide 24/7 care for animals except on the weekends. My dog chews on wires and gets into garbage if alone and anxious so I ensure doors are closed when I leave for the day. I can follow any specific instructions needed.
“Victoria is the absolute best rover we’ve ever had. She’s taken care of our two dogs multiple times and always treats them and our home as if it were her own. I can not recommend her enough to everyone!”
“Brittany is the best!!! She is attentive to details, responsive, and truly connects well with our dog. I am very picky about who I trust with our dog and I definitely recommend hiring Brittany!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I prefer animals over humans. Nothing makes me more happy than spending time with dogs. I have 5 dogs and I wish I could have 20 more. I am one of those “can I pet your pet” people. I am open to watch your pets in your home and also open to cameras so can you check on your fur babies. I’ve had animals my entire life. I prefer animals over humans. Nothing makes me more happy than spending time with dogs. I have 5 dogs and I wish I could have 20 more. I am one of those “can I pet your pet” people. I am a bartender so my schedule is open daily. I work weekend nights from 9-1 so after that I am also available. Your animals are in the best hands. They will be treated as if they are mine while under my care. You will get plenty of updates as well as photos throughout my stay.
“Tia was excellent. I received pictures and updates while I was away and knew my pet was in good hands. I didn’t have to worry at all. Would recommend if anyone is looking for help.”
About: I’m a dog mama to 2 pups (senior dog & a doodle) & enjoy spoiling them. We enjoy meeting additional new furry friends while on walks, playing fetch & getting treats anytime. Let me take care of your fur baby while you’re away to make them happy & keep them smiling as they should forever be! Life’s short, pets are the BEST!! I’m currently working semi-hybrid flexibility in my full time job and can do check-ins every 4 hours if needed. My routine is Monday- Friday 9-5pm work schedule. I am comfortable house sitting for others, as I have a senior dog and understand they are most comfortable in the comforts of their own home.

Being honest and loyal and a person that could be depended upon were at the top of her list. Always! She always loved animals and of course we shared that passion as I have never been without one. Trust me when I say your pet will be more than safe with Alyson. I will also say you can trust her explicitly with your home and around your personal items if need be. She is absolutely trustworthy!”
