“Taylor is VERY accommodating! We have two Alfa males in the house who hate each other and she was great keeping them apart. She’s very prompt and efficient. Will definitely have her back again!”


“Robert took excellent care of my puppy Piglet. He was on time, provided plenty of photos and updates, respected my house, and followed all my instructions. Highly recommend Robert for your pet sitting needs and will definitely book with him in the future. Thanks Robert!!”


About: I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have 5 dogs and 1 cat I care for. I also have experience working as a kennel tech for 2.5 years and still currently employed where I do things like Feed, medicate, walk, bathe, vaccinate, and other services clients may ask for. I take care of 5 dogs and 1 cat at home and at work I care for plenty more dogs and cats. I am constantly running around making sure they are fed, medicated, and fully updated with additional services clients request. With my job in an animal hospital I am experienced in seeing changes in dog’s body language and knowing how best to care for them for the current situation. I have experience caring for everything from small dogs to the biggest dogs.

“Hannah was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my cat but she went above a beyond by getting my kitty food when she noticed we were running out. I will definitely rebook with her next time we are out of town.”


About: I grew up fostering cats with my mom, and volunteering at the shelter a lot. I use to cry when I couldn’t take some of the dogs home or when one of the cats we were fostering found a home lol! I’ve always had a big heart for animals. I’m a school teacher with lots of holidays off! This makes me great for people that travel for the holidays, need weekend care, or even just early morning or afternoons during the week! I have a fenced yard for dogs that stay in my home. If the dog needs to be separate from my dog then I have my second floor for my dog, and bottom floor for the dog visiting. When im at the clients house I do my best to make the animal feel as loved as possible, I know it can be confusing and sad for them when their owner is gone but I want to make it a enjoyable trip!

“Ashlyn is an excellent, reliable sitter. This is my second time working with her and I hope to continue booking her for the future! She responds quickly, takes excellent care of my puppy, and gives me great updates. Highly recommend her services :)”



“Meredith is a dream come true pet sitter! She crossed the causeway for us and was even a few minutes early! She is by far the best pet sitter we’re ever had. Our dog is a spirited, old chiweenie and is petrified of us leaving her so she’s very difficult. Meredith has so much empathy and compassion that our dog warmed up to her quickly. Meredith took the time to cut up treats and hide them in Punky’s treat mat. She sat with punky and comforted her when we left. Punky is very happy and content. It is as if we never left her!!! We are amazed at the quality of Meredith’s character and the care she gave our dog. She sent pics and kept us posted. She is a true dog’s best friend and now ours! Thank you, Meredith. We are able to do things knowing punky will be greatly loved.”


“Barry is so loving and cares a lot of my wild fur babies and they love the attention!! Always Great with communication and pictures which puts me at ease when I’m working all day. Thanks Barry!”

About: What truly sets me apart is the personal connection I build with each pet and their owner. I don’t just “watch” pets—I care for them as if they were my own. I’m highly responsive, detail-oriented, and offer regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I also limit the number of pets I care for at once to ensure each one gets the individual attention they deserve. With Puppy Passion Pet Services, your pet’s well-being is never just a job—it’s my calling! Pet care isn’t a hobby or a side gig for me—this is my full-time business and passion. My entire daily routine is built around providing the best care for the pets I look after. From morning walks to evening playtime, I’m fully dedicated to their well-being. Since this is my primary focus, I offer flexible scheduling, quick communication. I have a fenced back yard for your babies to run around in, and 1 small dogs for them to play with. Whether day or night your babies will be well loved and cared for. We give the dogs bottle water.

About: I have externed at a veterinary clinic, volunteered at animal shelters, and completed a NAVTA Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA) Program in 2017. I provided palliative care for my own senior pup at the end of his life. Currently, I have two cats. I have always been an animal lover and take great joy and caring for our four-legged companions. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. I currently work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and have ample time to give all the care and attention that your pet needs. I can stay on property full-time if desired, only stepping away for food runs/necessities. I am prompt and professional. Please let me know if you have any special instructions or if your pet has special needs that require specific care requirements. I will do everything I can to provide a calm and enjoyable experience for your furbaby.

“Pamela arrived in the mornings just as I asked. She sent photos and asked who was who. Her genuine interest in my cats assured me they were in good hands. I will definitely request her services again. She’s good to my kitties and friendly with me. I like Pamela, she’s good people”


“Cassie is a wonderful sitter. The kitties love her, and so do I. She goes the extra mile to ensure everything is done correctly and to let me know if something is suspect with the kitties. I will be calling Cassie again to care for my babies.”


“It was so nice having Catherine stop in so I didn’t have to worry about the pups when I got scheduled for a long shift. She was on time, sent pictures, and communicated through the whole day. Thank you Catherine!”


“Kerri is awesome! She was gentle with my 11 week old puppy and was conscientious in making sure Mokka had all her needs met. She took great notes when I first met her, arrived early for her shift, and even stayed longer than agreed upon because the other person coming to relieve her was late. She provided regular updates and photos. I will definitely ask Kerri again to watch my girl!!”


About: I’ve had dogs & have cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve never met a sweet happy tail that I didn’t want to pet or kiss! Their loyalty, love & faithfulness are boundless. The safety, security and companionship an animal provides is all consuming. People come & go but a dog’s love is forever. My experience with dogs is extensive as I’m regularly accustomed to playing, walking, bathing, brushing, cleaning up after & managing sometimes erratic behavior from my own two Maltese boys. Bathing, blow drying, brushing both fur & teeth & cleaning up accidents are my reality every week. I also possess the skill set to care for senior dogs with strict medication schedules, which I did regularly while in college. Apart from this; I have pet sit a litter of baby puppies over the years, beginning at 6 weeks of age. I’m currently available to work any weekdays & weekends. Monday - Friday & do not have any time restrictions. I would be available weekends as well. I’m available for dog walks & pet sit-ins. I have a fenced in yard at home for both of my dogs, but I am also very used to walking pets on a harness & leash to avoid any safety issues. I try to have a spare collar, harness, & leash in the back of my car in case anything unforeseen may arise.


“We love Rachel and our Airedale Sophie loves her too! We love the photos that Rachel gives us each day of Sophie when we are away. It really puts smiles on our face and outs us at ease that she is having a good time.”


“Beth is amazing! She was so wonderful with my puppy and followed every instruction I left for her, even writing things down and asking questions about what I'd like her to do in specific scenarios. She was super punctual, kind, and compassionate, and I am lucky to have met her! My dogs are my world, and they compete in several dog sports, which means I'm always a little anxious about leaving them with someone new- but I certainly didn't have to worry with Beth!”


About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I am a dog mom to an adorable Aussie! I’ve raised, trained, and housebroken two puppies (my own dog and a golden retriever puppy). I absolutely love puppies and providing them with a routine. You can rest assured your pup will be in a good home! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or dogs with special needs so please keep this in mind! I make pets priority. During the evenings, I will take your dog and my dog for a long walk in the neighborhood or on the beach. I live on Sanibel Island. I am able to bike or drive to your home to walk your dog! Please let me know how long you would like me to walk them, as it is very hot outside!
