House Sitting Orangetree

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.

“Cara is awesome! She did an overnight with my dog, effectively communicated and sent pictures throughout the stay. I felt my dog was in very good hands. Highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve always loved animals. My whole life I grew up with all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, turtles, hamsters etc. It has always been my dream to take care of animals! I originally began working in physical therapy as a PTA because we can get certified in canine physical therapy! I have yet to attend the required courses, but spending time with dogs and cats and taking care of them is just as good to me! I also have experience with elderly and diabetic dogs. I am available everyday throughout the week, and generally all hours of the day unless I am currently walking/taking care of another client’s pet. I check Rover daily so I will respond promptly! I will provide services in your home to ensure your dog is in a familiar environment and not anxious. I have a big dog at home, and while she is friendly, she never wants to stop playing! I will provide pictures of your pet after a walk or at the end of the day if I am pet sitting overnight.

“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! We have 2 dogs - an extremely shy 8lb, 1 year old cavapoo Aja, and an amiable Cavalier King Charles Sandy boy. Ashley house sat for us overnight and it was the first time a non family member took care of our fur babies. She was extremely respectful of the Cavapoo Aja and had great patience in getting her used to her. She sent numerous pictures and updates to our delight. The doggie care plans were followed exactly. We highly recommend Ashley and would not hesitate to hire her again.”

“Sean did a great job taking care of our girl Zella. He was very respectful of our home and communication was outstanding to make sure Zella was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend to others.”

“Victoria watched our two dogs for a long weekend and took wonderful care of them. She sent updates daily with photos and our dogs appeared to be quite comfortable! Our home was also very well maintained while she was here. Definitely keeping her on our list of sitters for future trips away!”

About: I have been taking care of pets for the past two years. I love all breeds of dogs from small to big. I have done housesitting, visits, and dog walks. I cannot wait to meet more dogs! Pet care works with me almost every day that I am in town. I can work most hours and find time for your dog. I have lots of extra time I would love to spend walking a dog outside. I can care for any pet in any way the owner wishes. This is an addition to playing and giving the animal my full attention.

About: Hi, I’m Ivanna. I have 6 years of pet sitting experience and own two German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with large, energetic dogs, understand routines and behavior, and provide reliable, attentive care. All breeds and sizes welcome! I’m currently enrolled in college, Mondays and Wednesdays I am not available 1-3:15 pm. Aside from that I’m available the remaining week days and weekend! For drop-ins and house sitting, I stick to your pet’s normal routine and follow all instructions. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I make sure pets are safe, doors and gates are secure, and your home is respected. I send updates so you know how things are going.

About: Hi! I’m Candice, a lifelong animal lover and dog owner with years of experience caring for pets of my own, as well as helping friends and family with theirs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience monitoring pets for health concerns and understand the importance of paying attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I live in a spacious home with a screened lanai and a large fenced yard, providing plenty of room for dogs to safely play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I do work full time. I am a salon consultant. I set my schedule. I am able to come before and after work and nights, weekends. I am able to do in-home to care for your pets. My family and I are in an apartment looking to buy a home. Eventually would like to pet sit in our home as well.

“Erick was amazing! This was the first time we had ever used this service and we were very happy with the result! He communicated everyday about our sweet pet and sent pictures. We highly recommend Erick!!”

About: Hello! I’m Kelby, a lifelong dog and cat lover with years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and today I share my home with a Chihuahua, a Labrador, a cat, and three family cats. My pet care journey started in childhood walking neighbors’ dogs, helping friends with their pets, and pet sitting whenever someone needed a hand. By 18, I enrolled in Animal Behavior College and turned that my passion into a profession, becoming an ABCDT-certified trainer and pet care provider. I’ve now worked professionally with dogs and cats for over four years, and I especially love helping anxious, fearful, or reactive pets feel safe and understood. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and care they need. Pet care is part of my everyday life. Not only as a pet parent but also working professionally with dogs. My dogs and I love to go to the beach, parks, and anywhere we can find that’s fun to sniff! My schedule can be complex at times so please reach out for more information. Your pets safety always comes first. I will keep a close eye on your pet along with their body language to make sure they’re comfortable and happy in any situation. With my CPR and First Aid training, I’m prepared for emergencies, but my goal is always to prevent issues before they happen.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, as much as four in a household! The largest being over 100 pounds and the smallest under 10! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have learned to understand body language pretty well! A little over a year ago my family brought in a month old puppy that has now grown to be a malinois/shepherd/bully mix so I have experience with a work breed puppy as well! I am currently enrolled at FGCU, my classes start during the fall so I am a completely open book during the week and weekends for the rest of the summer! (Will update when I start my classes) I am used to staying at my clients homes, I feel it makes the animals more comfortable and the last thing they need is to stress! I usually ask for notes on how the pets are usually cared for and strictly follow those notes so I don’t disturb the animals mental clock!

“She was amazing watching our pups. We got pictures every single day and updates. She arrived on time and let us know. When she left. She cleaned up after herself. I would recommend her to anybody that's looking for in-house dog sitting. She is definitely reliable.”

“Amber was great to work with while she stayed in our home with our three dogs. She loved on them all weekend and we could tell the dogs were happy and much more comfortable at home than at a kennel.”

“Highly recommend Athena as your sitter! She is kind and thoughtful. Very responsible. She responded to my messages almost immediately every time I reached out and that was so important to me. My house was cleaner when I got home then before I left, lol… I will absolutely use her services again!!”

“Idania was very communicative and responsive. She stayed and took care of my husky, Luna while we were away for a family event. She let me know that Luna’s medications were given and sent pictures of her walks. Thanks again!!!”

About: Trusted, dependable pet and home care across SWFL. I provide personalized attention, reliable communication & loving care for dogs of all breeds, personalities and energy levels while treating every pet and home with respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide constant attention, reliable communication, and quality care throughout the day. I enjoy exploring local parks, trails and outdoor spaces and I love incorporating safe walks, enrichment and new adventures into my routine with pets.. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I begin by learning what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I prioritize trust, communication and consistency by meeting with families beforehand discussing routines and special instructions and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away

“Toni did a fabulous job housesitting with my labradoodle and cat! My neighbors all enjoyed meeting her at the dog park (and wanted to connect with her in the future). She kept me informed and sent photos. The house was immaculate upon my return. You will not be disappointed in her services.”
