We love all animals and have many years experience caring for dogs, cats, aquariums, parrots, lizards, guinea pigs and more! We have enjoyed volunteering in a variety of pet settings.

Woody and I also volunteer with Hope Healthcare in Cape Coral. We would appreciate the opportunity to meet you and discuss your needs. Your pet's health and happiness will be our first priority. We also provide pet taxi services, yard cleanup, plant care and home watch services. Let us know what you need, we're happy to customize our services! Give us a try!

They are a great couple. Our puppy had a great experience staying with them. They treated her like she was their arm. Definitely made it easy for us. Constant communication. Great experience.

Everything was wonderful! We were gone for 6 days, which is a long time for us to be away, but we felt completely relaxed knowing our babies were so well cared for. We received regular updates with photos and texts, which gave us such peace of mind. Janet and Jim truly treated our dogs like their own. Highly recommend them — we will absolutely book again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Highly Recommend Janet and Jim are truly wonderful people and definitely animal lovers. We are so pleased to have found such great dog sitters in our area. Janet kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Hanzo and Mango were well cared for and happy the whole time. We look forward to having them sit for us again. Absolutely 10 out of 10 — highly recommend!

Drop-In Visits • Dec 29, 2023

This sitter allowed animal feces all over my bedrooms , all over the floors , litter everywhere , litters were over flowing , my tortoises food was all rotting and my house was destroyed and now I have waited a week and still haven’t received my only house key that she is refusing to bring back to my home . I would NEVER trust this person ever again. And the last time I had police at my home at 4 am because she didn’t follow directions with leaving my house key yet again.

Would trust her to watch my fur babies anytime. They were all very well taken care of and communication was excellent.
