About: I have 4 years of professional experience caring for dogs at two dog daycares. I worked as a Doggy Daycare Attendant at Lucky Dog Pet Lodge, where I often independently cared for 60+ dogs at a time, monitored their behavior, kept them safe, and provided feedings, bathing, cleaning, enrichment, and daily care. I also worked as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Shift Lead at Doggie Doo’s Spa & Retreat, where I helped oversee daily daycare operations, prepared meals, administered medications and insulin injections, monitored pets’ health and behavior, and helped with bathing, and general care. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I believe pets deserve patience, attention, affection, and lots of conversation! I talk to them, get to know their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. My own Yorkie, Coco, is my world, and I would give every pet in my care that same love and attention. I recently moved to Fort Myers, Florida, with just myself and my nine-year-old Yorkie, Coco. I am currently staying with a friend who actually owns Coco’s mom, Chloe, and she also has two Dachshunds and two cats of her own, so I’m surrounded by animals every day! I knew Rover would be an absolutely amazing fit for me because I have so much experience caring for dogs. I have worked at two separate doggy daycares, including experience as a shift lead, and I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have plenty of time to dedicate to helping pet owners care for their beloved pets, as pet sitting will be my primary job at this time. This gives me the flexibility to be there when families need me and to give each pet the individual attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I would love the opportunity to become someone you can trust and rely on to care for your furry family members just as I would care for my own. ❤️🐾 I care very deeply about all of the pets in my home, and I truly believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and included. My Yorkie, Coco, is nine years old and takes medication in the morning and at bedtime. I also make sure her food is softened to a mushy, baby-food-like consistency so she can swallow it properly. Her birth mom, Chloe, also sleeps with us, and whenever Coco gets her morning medication, Chloe gets a little piece of a pill pocket too—just so she doesn’t feel left out! ❤️ In the morning, I also check on the two Dachshunds, who are both boys. I let them out of their kennel, pick up any poop, clean up any accidents, change their potty pads, make sure they have plenty of fresh water, and get them ready to come out and play. The two cats have their own set feeding schedule, with their food dispensing automatically at the appropriate times. My friend’s dogs also eat once a day at bedtime, while Coco eats breakfast and dinner. At 8:30 PM, Coco gets her bedtime snack along with her nighttime medication, and all of the dogs get a bedtime snack so everyone feels included. Around 10:00–10:30 PM, it’s bedtime for me, Coco, and Chloe, who both sleep with me. The pups also get a little midnight snack—just a couple of pieces of a pill pocket—and Coco gets another potty break outside. Throughout the day, she gets plenty of opportunities to go outside, while the other three dogs use potty pads indoors. The cats are wonderful about using their litter boxes, and of course, they get treats too—cat treats, not dog treats! 🐱❤️ I also love creating a calm and relaxing environment for the animals. We listen to instrumental lullabies in the morning to help everyone have a peaceful start to the day, and lullabies play throughout the night at bedtime. During the day, there is plenty of playtime, singing, dancing, cuddling, and of course, lots of talking! One of my favorite things is talking to the animals as if they can actually answer me. I’ll ask them if they remember where I put something, and for just a split second, I genuinely expect them to verbally answer me. Then we giggle about it! 😂🐾 That’s just who I am. I talk to the dogs and cats all day long like they’re little humans, and I love when they communicate with me in their own special ways. I’m also currently helping train my friend’s dogs, and they are doing really well! They have been learning commands such as sit and stay, and I even taught them how to dance for a treat. We’re also working on shaking paws and lying down. They’re learning slowly but surely, and I’m so proud of the progress they’re making! When your pets are in my care, I want them to feel like they are part of the family—not simply being watched, but genuinely loved, cared for, talked to, played with, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. 🐶🐱❤️

About: As a customer service professional, I have developed strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills that translate directly into pet care. I am comfortable following detailed instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages and temperaments and understand the importance of providing attentive, compassionate care while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to plan my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. I prioritize consistency and reliability to ensure pets maintain their normal routines and feel comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering basic care as instructed, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and current pet parent to a 9-year-old black Labrador retriever and a 2-year-old cat, both incredibly friendly and well-socialized with other animals. Since I work remotely and am home most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. Having a senior dog myself means I understand the extra care, patience, and routine that older pets often need, while my cat keeps me well-practiced with feline personalities too. Your pet will have their own private room in my townhouse, so they’ll have a comfortable, quiet space to settle into if they need a break from the action. Because I’m home so much, I’m able to offer multiple walks throughout the day, so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks on a consistent schedule. I’m attentive to feeding routines, medication needs, and any specific quirks your pet has — just let me know what works best for them. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m available every single day, including weekdays and weekends, for both walks and boarding. Since I’m home consistently, your pet will get regular attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. I have a spacious two-story townhouse with plenty of room for pets to roam and stay active indoors. Your pet will have their own private room for a quiet, comfortable retreat. I’m close to two dog parks for extra exercise and socialization, and I’m happy to walk dogs every 3 hours if needed to keep them comfortable and on schedule.

About: With seven years of owning and operating my own pet-sitting business, I've had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I am certified in Applied Canine Ethology through the Ethology Institute, giving me specialized knowledge of canine behavior and body language, and I am also certified in Pet First Aid and CPR, so you can have added peace of mind knowing your pet's safety is always my top priority. I specialize in working with pets who are anxious, fearful, reactive, aggressive, or simply need a little extra patience and understanding. My goal is to build trust, maintain your pet's routine, and create a calm, low-stress environment where they can feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, or has unique behavioral needs, you can count on dependable, compassionate, and experienced care every step of the way. Furthermore, I love to care for all animals! I have cared for birds, a monkey (yes, a monkey!), turtles, lizards, snakes, and bunnies. I have a love for photography and dog training, and I have always incorporated these into my work! When you entrust your pet to me, you're choosing someone who values not only their happiness, but also their emotional well-being, safety, and individual needs. I have just moved from Naples, where I pet sat full-time for 6 years. I am building my pet sitting business here in Gateway. I love to walk/run with dogs, play with the pups/cats, or simply just chill if that's what they prefer! Let's talk and customize their visits to what fits best for them!

“Fantastic walker and extremely professional. Very responsible and reliable. My dog loved him”
