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.

About: I’ve always been around animals. I grew up on a rescue farm so I’m very familiar with animals needing medical attention and lots of love! I have 2 big dogs and 4 cats whom I love very much. I’m great with puppy’s who are going through potty training, and cleaning up their messes. I’m also good with senior dogs and cats who need medication, messages, and calm environments. I’m almost positive I could take care of a wild animal if need be! I have plenty of time to take care of any animal you need! I can do drop by’s or I can spend the night to give you peace of mind, and your animal extra love! My dogs are kennel trained, but my boyfriend is ussually home with them while I’m not, they are always going on trips with us and love their walks. I know it’s stressful to leave your animals with someone you don’t know well, but I can assure you they would be in great care with me! I can go on lots of walks with them, play with them, and give them any medical attention they may need!

About: I’ve been in the pet care business for 15 years. I’m a former groomer of 14 years and I have seen, and done it all. I’m capable of taking care of puppies, special needs, seniors and everything in between. I do have a full time job but I am off most nights and every Monday and Tuesday. I am always willing to work things out if possible. I always use a 2 step safety plan when walking dogs and always double check what’s needed before doing the task at hand. My experience in dog handling will guarantee your dog is safe with me.

I do have a screened in Lanai that my dogs can use. Both of my dogs are very friendly to other animals and humans.

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.

About: 5+ years experience with various breeds, walking and caring for neighbors’ dogs and cats! Huge animal lover and active spirit. Current owner of a sweetie pie black cat and a precious Italian Greyhound, both who I adore beyond belief I’m currently working part time, usually evenings, so my mornings and afternoons are both free for long walks and good times! I’ll also be available evenings for feedings & potty breaks. As a loving and proud Cat Mom I understand the anxieties that come with having to leave your fur baby at home with someone new. However, I’ll do my best to ensure a great time for your animal and a stress-free one for you! I grew up with dogs my whole life and adore them- and also love to be active outside. So if you’re looking for those lengthy walks or hikes I’m the one for the job!:)

About: I have have a dog since I was 5 years old. I've had several different breeds-small, medium, and large, different personalities and levels of care need for those dogs. I've dealt with tiny puppies, elderly, blind, and deaf, and a puppy born and nearly dying from a cleft palate. I have watched, in my home, for up to 4 dogs(plus my two) at one time. I prefer that any dog I keep for extended hours or overnight, at least be crate trained. This is healthier and safer for everyone. I absolutely love dogs and I've never had a dog not like me. I am looking to help out others, who need someone to let out, feed, and/or walk their dog(s) and, at the same time, make a little extra cash. I have background checks from Rover, TSA, both Florida and Ohio. You can trust I can take care of your pet in my home or yours.

About: Hello! My name is Brooke Adams, and I have a passion for caring for animals that extends to over 15 years of experience.

If I’m caring for your pet in my home, I create a quiet, cozy environment and keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re adjusting well. Communication is key, so I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
