I always got pictures of Raven, along with updates on how she was doing that day, if she ate, her mood/energy levels, and if her stomach was upset.

About: I'm a teacher during the day, so my hours are flexible, especially during the summer. I'm a dog and a cat lover and would love to have some extra dog company. My two cats are used to dogs and don't mind them at all. I will go the extra mile to care for your fur babies as I would take care of mine. My first two dogs I had when I was younger, were Schipperkes named Skylar and Sampson. They were very hyper and lots of fun to walk around. I think I ended up making a ton of friends when I would take them with me because they were so interesting. That's what I like about dogs, they bring people together; love to all!
About: I’ve cared for cats for years and currently have two of my own, so I understand their unique personalities, routines, and boundaries. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, enrichment, and giving plenty of affection—on their terms, of course! I can administer basic medications when needed and follow care instructions closely. My goal is to keep cats relaxed, safe, and happy while you’re away, whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just keeping their routine consistent.

“Found her last minute to take care of my cat & i couldn’t be more grateful. She took such good care of him & i couldn’t tell he had a lot of fun. Can’t wait to book with her in the future !”
About: I’ve taken care of kittens, middle-aged cats and senior cats alike! I love cats all around and have owned many in my lifetime. Even if your cat bites or scratches- I will always be patient and willing to give them the best care possible. I don’t mind cleaning out litter boxes or cleaning up cat pee in any way, either!
About: Cats/kittens can be unpredictable when it comes to behavior, one moment they have the zoomies and the next they’re taking a nap. But one thing you can be sure of is that your fur baby is taken care of with me. Their boundaries will be respected and your house rules will be followed. All while making sure they’re fed, and the litter is fresh.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life and I had big, medium and small dogs in the past and I also had one cat. I took care of pregnant dogs, injured, spayed and neutered dogs. I have college classes Monday-Thursday I have classes during these times : @10am-3pm. I do not travel more than 25 minutes away from Immokalee. I can travel to Ave Maria & Felda. Let me know if you have any questions. I can care for your pet in my home or the client’s home, whichever the client prefers. If the client wants their pet to be in a crate, that’s fine with me too. Either way, I will take the pet on regular walks.
About: I have loved and cared for animals for a lifetime and first began pet sitting as child. This allowed me plenty of experience with creatures large and small, including birds, and small furry pets.

My current schedule has long stretches of availability, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings year-round. Night shift workers are welcome and I am happy to work with your unique schedule. While in daycare or boarding, your dog will have access to my house and yard. There are no children in the home so your pet can enjoy a peaceful stay. For an extra layer of security, every dog I care for outside of their home or yard (daycare, boarding, walks, drop in potty breaks) gets an Apple Airtag attached to their collar.

I have experience in caring for animals with specific needs, and am able to administer most medications if necessary due to my years of on hands experience in the exam rooms of animal clinics and hospitals.

I have lots of love and attention to give and would love to meet your furry friends!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ave Maria
“I am so grateful for Jackie and Russ. They bail me out when my schedule gets so messed up. They are kind and loving to Molly and she just loves them both right back. Thank you!”
“Marijana is truly the best pet sitter this app has. I needed boarding for my fur baby last minute for a few days and she went above and beyond. Not only did she take him last minute she gave me constant updates and videos. She even gave me training details to help with some behavioral issues. Her family was truly welcoming and very warm and caring. I would use her every time I need care for my doggo. She is very well knowledge when caring for animals and their safety. I felt so safe and confident with him being in their care.”
“I am what most would call an “over-protective mother” when it comes to my fur baby. Finding someone to take care of her when I can’t was a daunting task until meeting Ms. Pamela. During our meet and greet, I was stunned when Pippa snuggled up to her as though they’d been friends forever (and that never happens with anyone)! At that point, I knew that Pamela had a true heart for the animals, and I was sold immediately. If you are a picky pup mom like me, I highly recommend you book Ms. Pamela! Pippa and I give her a 12/10 tail wags!!”

This is the first time he’s been left with someone he doesn’t know. She was very calm and patient and sent pics and updates throughout the day. Will definitely use her again when I am in Naples.”
About: I have always had dogs since I was a child. I currently have two small dogs who are our fur babies. I started doing this to ensure people could relax while on vacation and not having to stress about their pets care while gone.

About: I love all pets and can care for them as you request. They will have free range of the fenced in yard and house. I will text daily photos/videos of your dog to ease any stress of leaving your companion at home. **I pet sit because I WANT to not because I HAVE to. I only allow one other dog at a time in the home. This allows me to give the your pet more attention than with dealing with several dogs at a time.** Smoke free home. I am retired and since moving to our 2.5 acre property I thought there is no better way to host pets. I am home most of the time. If I go out it is just for a quick errand. I have a fully fenced in yard with an electric gate. Always closed for 24 hour protection. I have a very friendly golden retriever for your pets company.

My fully fenced yard and backyard (1+ acres!) provide plenty of opportunities for safe play, exercise, and fresh air throughout the day. For bedtime and rest, all pets staying in my home sleep in their private 8x4x6 kennel, ensuring comfort, security, and personal space. When I’m not directly with them, pets are video monitored by me 24/7, giving you added peace of mind while you’re away.

During any brief times I’m away, they are securely settled in their private 8x4x6 kennels, complete with a cozy bed, blanket, toys, and fresh water. Moments of rest and bedtime will also take place in the same kennels. Any time pets are secured in their assigned kennels, they are video monitored by me 24/7, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind.

“Alexandra did a great job taking care of our dog! I am so glad we booked her. We could tell from the photos (and even Willow's first meeting with Alexandra), that our dog took to her quite quickly and easily. From the photos, we could see that Willow was very happy with Alexandra's company while we were away. Our dog doesn't eat much when we are away... but to our surprise, she ate almost all of her meals!! Amazing :) I'm sure we will be booking Alexandra for future dogsitting!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old. As soon as I was trusted with the responsibility, I was all in. Dogs have been a joyful and consistent part of my life ever since. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra gentleness. I understand how important routine, positive reinforcement, and consistency are for helping dogs feel safe and secure. As a healthcare worker, I bring an added level of attentiveness, responsibility, and calm patience to the dogs in my care. I’m detail-oriented, observant, and committed to making sure each dog’s physical and emotional needs are met. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs - I truly engage with them. Whether that’s structured walks, playtime to burn energy, or relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to your dog’s unique personality. You can expect dependable communication, photo updates, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys every tail wag along the way. 🐾 My job has me working three days a week, which means the other four days I’m fully available and dedicated to caring for pups! On my off days, I have flexible availability for walks and drop-ins. Even on my working days, I’m organized and intentional with my schedule, and I only accept bookings I know I can give proper time and attention to. I believe dogs deserve unhurried, dependable care - not just a quick stop-in. My goal is to provide consistency, communication, and peace of mind so you can feel confident your dog is well cared for. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Familiar environments help dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of surroundings, and cautious with other dogs and unfamiliar situations. Leashes, doors, gates, and feeding instructions are always double-checked. As a healthcare worker, I’m observant and quick to notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. You can trust that I will treat both your dog and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Clear communication and photo updates are always part of the experience, so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. 🐾

I think I ended up making a ton of friends when I would take them with me because they were so interesting. That's what I like about dogs, they bring people together; love to all!
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: 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.
About: I've cared for dogs of every kind and age since I was about 8 years old. Family, neighbors, and friends have always relied on me to help care for and love their pets, knowing I would do anything and everything for a dog. From training new puppies to giving that little extra care to seniors, I love doing it all! Currently I’m not busy full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for home visits and play on weekdays anytime from 7am - 3:30pm. I provide safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet during home visits and playtime. With that, I follow feeding schedules, give fresh water, clean up messes, provide playtime and love, monitor health and behavior, as well as keep owners updated with lots of messages and photos.

About: I love all pets and can care for them as you request. They will have free range of the fenced in yard and house. I will text daily photos/videos of your dog to ease any stress of leaving your companion at home. **I pet sit because I WANT to not because I HAVE to. I only allow one other dog at a time in the home. This allows me to give the your pet more attention than with dealing with several dogs at a time.** Smoke free home. I am retired and since moving to our 2.5 acre property I thought there is no better way to host pets. I am home most of the time. If I go out it is just for a quick errand. I have a fully fenced in yard with an electric gate. Always closed for 24 hour protection. I have a very friendly golden retriever for your pets company.
About: I have loved and cared for animals for a lifetime and first began pet sitting as child. This allowed me plenty of experience with creatures large and small, including birds, and small furry pets. It would be an honor to be entrusted with your furry friends’ care whether it’s for a day or an extended stay. My current schedule has long stretches of availability, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings year-round. Night shift workers are welcome and I am happy to work with your unique schedule. While in daycare or boarding, your dog will have access to my house and yard. There are no children in the home so your pet can enjoy a peaceful stay. For an extra layer of security, every dog I care for outside of their home or yard (daycare, boarding, walks, drop in potty breaks) gets an Apple Airtag attached to their collar.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs from a young age. I had a rescue lab in my 20’s and now and am raising children. We have been pet sitting mainly in our community for several years now. References available upon request. I work from home and have flexibility to take your pup out as often as they like! They will never be lonely as I am home all day. We do not have our own pets in the home. I’m working to teach my children about being a responsible pet owner before we make the commitment. Your dog can freely roam anywhere in our home. Most dogs sleep in my bed or next to me. No restrictions and want them to feel at home. I have a pool if they like to swim.
