About: Between my own pets and walking others’ pets, I have a high passion and love walking dogs of any size or breed! Your pet is in great and loving hands! I currently care for my two grandchildren and will be working around that schedule to walk your fur babies! I aim to get an abundance of steps in daily. You can count on me to keep your pet safe and treat as if my own with TLC. I will protect from the heat/cold and never leave them unattended.
About: My name is Dixan, animals have always been important to me. I believe that they should be cared for and treated as well as we treat ourselves. I've been around dogs and cats since I can remember; I have a three year old dog of my own, and I share responsibility in caring for two other dogs. I lived on a property that provided Corgi and mutt rescues and rehabilitation in Oklahoma City. Id help foster dogs, train basic behaviors and commands, and help find them a new home. I learned a lot about how to deal with animals there, it was a great experience. I've dogsat dogs with breathing trouble, diabetes, incontinence, physical disability, and blindness. I've sat very old dogs, and very young puppies and kittens. As far as walking, I have helped trained dogs to restrain from pulling while on leash. All training methods I have learned are positive reinforcement based methods. I'm not a fan of some of the other methods. I have a very flexible schedule. I am my own boss so I can usually work with what you’d like me to do and when you’d like me to be there. I will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’ll give them individual attention and care. I’m comfortable walking and playing with dogs of all sizes. One of my own dogs has to be crated sometimes, so I’m no stranger to that if you need it.
“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.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs for friends, family, and my own pets — from small, spirited Dachshunds to energetic, playful Labradors. I’ve shared my home with several dogs over the years, including my current rescue, Xuxa. My experience includes daily walks, attentive care to feeding and potty schedules, basic grooming, and reinforcing training routines. I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care for each one. I’m currently taking time off from my career as a nurse and am new to the Fort Myers area as I get settled in. I have very open availability and a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your needs. Please feel free to reach out — I’d love to help. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so your pet can get to know me and feel comfortable. This also helps me learn their routine, behaviors, and any do’s and don’ts. If you’re short on time, no problem — I can quickly adapt to their potty, meal, play, and nap schedule. I’ll provide regular updates and keep an honest, detailed activity log during my care.

“Emma did a great job taking care of our dogs! Always came at the times we requested, sent the cutest pictures daily, and even thought to leave the outside lights on the last night, since she knew we would arrive very late. Highly recommended!”

Petra S.
“Petra is one of the most loving, amazing and reliable pet sitters I have ever met. She even spent the last hours of one of my last dogs as they past since I was away for business. I am grateful to her for loving my dogs as if they were my own and my dogs were always excited to see her, be with her and she has a knack of making them all feel special, loved and important. No hesitation to leave my most precious pets with Petra whatsoever, even stayed overnight one time when she didn't have to.”

Alyssa W.
“Alyssa was a rockstar with my high-octane pup, Peanut. This dog has two speeds—full throttle and asleep—and Alyssa kept up with her like a pro. She sent me hilarious updates and pictures of Peanut mid-zoomie, looking like she was having the time of her life. It’s not easy to tire Peanut out, but somehow Alyssa pulled it off. Came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog who’s already waiting at the door for her next hangout with Alyssa.”
