About: I’m comfortable with cats & dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My guy is a wonderful handful so I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—not just feeding them and letting them out..but giving them attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of love. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Just like I would do for my own I am currently working 9–6 Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, so Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday are the days I have the most flexibility for you and your furry ones. These are the days I can dedicate the most time and attention to your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around their individual needs. I work until 6pm so night time can be available if needed. I have a dog named BlackJack who is blast and high energy, so I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and videos (if you would like) so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing!
About: I have 2 years of experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and keeping pets safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care on weekends and selected weekdays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean, and make sure your pet receives attentive and loving care while you are away.
About: I have been a veterinary assistant for 2 years and studying to become a Veterinarian. Ive worked at clinics. Ive loved animals since I was very young, its a passion! I’m currently employed at a vet clinic therefore caring for your pets is a breeze and just as I enjoy my job I enjoy meeting new furry friends! I have many tools in case of emergencies that I know how to use thanks to my veterinary experience and a big 2.4 acre fenced yard for plenty of room!
About: Hey! I have been a huge animal lover my whole life and have been dog sitting since I was in middle school. With me, all animals are treated with the love and patience they deserve. I have been watching some elderly dogs (14 and 15!) for years and years and they sure have taught me a lot about patience! I also frequently watch high- energy golden retrievers and more recently some growing puppies under a year old. I grew up with 3 cinnamon green cheek conures (parakeets) as well! I really have a wide range of experience, including administering daily medications and ear/eye drops. Every pet I come across I love for as if they are my own. My boyfriend, Chris, is my partner in crime for pet sitting so if you are comfortable with it he can always be extra help (no additional charge of course)! Currently I am in between jobs and have complete availability for October! I will schedule my personal daily activities around these services: Available Mon-Sun , any time all day I plan to spend all of my time with your furry friend giving them all the attention and love! I want to spend time getting to know them as much as they do with me.
About: Hi, I’m Danielle — a caring sitter who specializes in overnight and extended stays. I provide a peaceful, attentive presence for pets while their people are away, and I focus on a small number of bookings to give each animal the time and care they deserve. I’m currently prioritizing multi-night bookings and have limited availability for short drop-ins or one-off day visits. I have never in 20+ years cancelled on anyone going out of town, although recently I did have to cancel a 2 drop-ins when owners were going out to eat, due to flu. It was inconvenient and regrettable, but in situations where an animal truly needed me, I have always come through. Always. I offer my clients peace of mind, respect for your animals and a high level of loving care. This value was developed over time. When I care for your pets during a house stay, I’m not just feeding and walking — I’m pressing pause on my own routines to move into theirs. House sitting is a full commitment that includes emotional labor, flexibility, and presence. Many years ago while living in NJ and going to college, a family member and I set up PawsOnThePark as a pet care service. I did the animal care for that for 2 years. I regularly did drop-in and overnight visits for a variety of dogs and cats. I have experience with administering medication as well as reinforcement training for young animals. I have also worked at PetSmarts Doggie Day care and have known the joy of handling 10+ dogs in the same room. While there, I also cared for the boarded cats and learned about feline care. I consider every animal I care for to be a good friend. While I take the responsibility for their well-being very seriously, we always have fun together and my fur friends receive lots of love, undivided attention, and care. I started by training my family sheepdog at age 10 and have been caring for animals ever since. Until recently I was the mother of 2 elderly Shih Tzus; I have experience with dogs of all ages. I know the importance of consistency -- whether that applies to experiences, medications and food, familiar surroundings, or using the same training cues. Also, my personal limit for dog weight is 75 pounds. Rover classes dogs 41-100 in one group but I can responsibly take care of dogs up to about 75 pounds depending on how well they are trained to walk on a leash. I do digital gig work from home (web development, fixing sites, automation etc.) so I have an extremely flexible schedule. It means I can dog sit and work from your home as long as the Wifi is good. I can take frequent breaks to go on a walk or tend to your pets. In fact it doing that is good for me. Your animals will generally have human company most of the day, even when I am not interacting directly with them. I am able to set aside a significant amount of time for their care and direct interaction (play, walks, general attention). I offer attentive, loving care — but please know that house sitting means more than just pet care. It’s a full lifestyle shift for me during your trip, and it takes total commitment it to do it well. I am happy to come to your residence for any length of time, whether for short walk or a long visit. The environment I create around your pets is loving and calming. Clients can count on reliable, professional care and someone who treats this responsibility with the utmost respect. For house stays, I am at the house except for errands and an occasional outing limited to 3 hours max. Your pets’ wellbeing is my main focus. I have great respect for the animals in my care and for your property. My service is for pet parents who appreciate attentive care and knowing their pets are in capable, compassionate hands . That said if your pets like their space I give it to them, but I am no less concerned and focused on their health and comfort.
About: My name is Mandi! I’m 30 years old. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I have a true passion for caring for pets of all sizes and species. I’m excited for the opportunity to help by giving your pets the same love and attention I give my own. Your fur babies will be treated like family—safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I absolutely adore my own pet, Benji, and I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions soon! I will make sure they are safe and all their needs are met. I would never leave them unattended or unleashed. I will keep them company and make them feel safe and loved. I always have only one reservation at the time. I live in Naples and can easily travel to Bonita Springs and Estero as well. I’m available for daily walks and drop-in visits, and with a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, I’m happy to provide care wherever it’s needed! I am available for drop in visits and I’ll make sure to take care of your dog as if you were home. I’ll re-feed, put water in bowl, re-crate, etc.
About: Hi my name is Shannon. I grew up with a Shih Tzu and have cared for dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances over the years, providing walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship while their owners were away. I have recent experience with both young dogs and senior dogs (including a 13-year-old), and I’m comfortable adjusting energy levels, pacing walks appropriately, and offering extra patience when needed. I’m attentive to instructions and respectful of each dog’s personality and routine. I’m happy to provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re gone. I currently have flexible availability and offer dog walking, drop-in visits for cats and dogs, and pet/house sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that means daytime walks, evening check-ins, or overnight care. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable support while you’re away. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred routines. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I prioritize safety at all times. I respect your home, keep spaces clean, and provide regular updates so you feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Karen B was terrific,,,, my labs loved her. Ali can be alittle bit of a stinker when she doesn’t know the person but Karen overcame that quickly by getting down on the floor and chatting with Ali. She even got a kiss by the end of the weekend. 💕🐾 Karen was great about providing updates and even pics while I was away. I will for sure use Karen B again. Thanks!”

About: I’m a vegan so I’ve got nothing but love for animals. I have been the mom of a large albino pit bull for 8 years now so I’m just as good with big dogs as I am small ones. I’m an independent agent with Aflac and make my own schedule so I am able to accommodate for almost any day and time of the week I walk my own dog multiple times a day around the neighborhood so I’d be able to do the same for your animal as well
“Jillyn faced a really difficult challenge with this one, but she aced it. My dog had a rough start to life, so he has always been skittish around people. She took this on as a new client after my longtime sitter had passed away. Plus this was my first trip since my pup became an "only dog" a couple of years ago. She persisted in working with him and I remained 100 percent confident while away that my best buddy was in trusted hands.”
About: ive worked in doggy daycare, have been taking care of dogs since i was 8 (my own dogs and neighbors dogs). i also foster dogs and cats a decent amount here and there as well! i work part time at a coffee shop until usually around 3 pm. im also doing classes at FGCU. So I’d definitely have much more time this off season! I live in a college dorm, so i most likely wont be able to bring your pets to the dorms for me to take care of, sadly :(
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my early teens for family and friends. I've provided daily walks, check-ins, and stays, and even week long boarding. I've worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and can accommodate to whatever your pup needs! I'm a college student, and I'm off for the summer so my schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate you and your pups! I am always very deliberate about following any and all guidelines, procedures, and preferences set by you as the client! Whether it be for your pup or your home, you'll be in great hands!

Ava was wonderful with Mia and Enzo! She kept me updated with photos throughout the visit, gave them a great walk, and they were so happy and relaxed when I got home. Her communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!
