“Jackie is just amazing! My fur child loves her and she does a good job with daily updates pics and videos! Strongly recommend her! I have booked her over 5 times and everytime she does a wonderful job!”

“They have gone above and beyond for my pup. All the reviews are 100% accurate. Getting pictures and videos of my pup everyday made it so comforting knowing she was having an absolute blast. Will most definitely be taking her there again for doggie play time and when I need sitter again. I cannot thank them enough for such a great experience. Thank you !”

“Jose took very good care of our labs. I would highly recommend his services. He went above and beyond when our return was delayed, he brought our dogs over to our home for us and we so much appreciated it.”
“Jada took amazing care of our boys while we were out of state. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and when one of our dogs wasn't feeling well, she monitored him closely, kept us informed, and made sure he stayed comfortable. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Amazing host! So friendly and extremely flexible. Our flight was cancelled at the last minute and we needed our dog to stay for some extra days, and Laura made it so easy for us. Bonus, when we picked up Blu, he was washed and beautifully brushed. Many thanks for your wonderful hospitality. Jocelyn”
“Paul is an amazing caretaker. Our dog, Albi, immediately felt at home with Paul and we received daily pictures and updates while we were away. I thought we were on vacation, but Albi probably had a better time! Paul’s home is the perfect refuge for a dog who prefers a calm environment and Albi also got long walks daily! 10/10 stars!”

“Jessica was very observant and great at communicating with me. 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. She was also accommodating when I needed to extend my reservation for another day. Seeing Raven run around free and happy on her back yard, having a great time put me at ease. I definitely recommend Jessica as a sitter.”
“Chris was the perfect match for our dog. His calm and gentle nature made Brindie feel right at home. He was communicative with us during her stay, enabling us to relax knowing she was in good hands. I totally recommend him for your pet sitting needs. Maggie B.”

“Kimberly was awesome. All my dogs we go are naturally shy and weary around new people we’re loving life by the end of day 1. Communication was awesome with daily photos of my pups showing how happy and calm they were around Kimberly. I will definitely have her take care of pups again.”
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 grew up on a farm with LOTS of cats!! I love all animals and treat them all as though they are my own. Every cat has their own personality and I love discovering what that is and making them comfortable and happy kitties!
“Cara is an exceptional pet sitter! She was willing to accept a last-minute booking request during the holiday season to watch my cat. She was professional, communicative, caring toward my cat, and attentive to his needs. She knew how to read his behavior and interact in a way that made him feel comfortable. Highly recommended for watching your cat!”

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 had Katz my whole life. I’ve helped deliver kittens. I currently have two cats fat and happy I love the different personalities. Cats have mine are very spoiled. One is rotten and very mischievous and the other one is a snuggle, baby.
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.

About: I have loved and cared for animals for a lifetime and first began pet sitting as child.

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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ave Maria
“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!!”
“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.”
“Moving to a new area is always a big worry for me as I have a 16-year old dog. He has been in daycare from puppy on and there are times I need to be away and need daycare and/or boarding. Finding Jackie and Russ has been a blessing and a huge relief. They are wonderful, kind, easy to work with, answer quickly and my dog is safe, comfortable and happy in their home when I need their services. Thank you so much! An amazing find!”

“Third daycare stay. Poppy couldn’t wait to get out of car in AM and dallied when it was time to leave with me. Photos always show her smiling and getting along well with other doggy guests in beautiful backyard park. Poppy will be back again.”
“Cooper had such a great time with Jeanette he didn’t want to get in my car, which is the best compliment!! You can tell he is loved and taken great care of. Jeanette is responsive, kind and very easy to work with!”

“Danayrys took great care of our puppies on late notice while we were in town on vacation. Our dogs were comfortable with her from the moment she greeted them. Her communication was excellent; from directions to her home to updates on our dogs, communication was clear and timely.”
“I feel so fortunate to be able to have someone I trust care for my dog. She has always made herself available to fit my schedule. My dog loves playing with her little boy too which is a plus!”
About: Although most people see this as a job, i see pet-sitting as a fun and exciting opportunity to make new friends all with their own personalities:)! Seeing as i don’t really find myself going out much now-a-days, pet sitting seems like the only right option needed to be taken way sooner. I believe in everyone having their own schedules for their babies, so i try to keep their routines to allow more comfort for all parties.
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.

I have walked and cared for pets in many different homes. I always make an effort to provide the safest environment for the dogs and make the owners feel comfortable with me caring for their pet.
“We are so happy to have Robert as our dog sitter! He has watched our dog several times now.

I am used to walk my dog 2 times a day early on the morning as well as at evening when the sun goes down. I work from home so it is easy for me to manage my schedule. I have a friendly miniature poodle who is a really layback senior dog. I love to walk and ride my bike around my neighborhood so It would be ideal to increase my routine walks. When boarding dogs , it would be your dog and my dog only with a previous meetup. Well behave dogs , no chewing furniture and potty trained. Dogs are allow on the furniture. Dogs will be treated as family. 😊
“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. 🐾
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 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: 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.
“Lauren did a fantastic job with walking my pet and she made me feel at ease. I loved how well she communicated with me. The most important impact was how she interacted with my dog.

About: Hi! I’m Abbi, an animal lover with hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patient, loving care. Whether your pet needs a walk or drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, administer basic medications if needed, and provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my visits. My goal is to give you peace of mind while treating your pets like they’re my own! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I’m available early Monday through Friday until around 8 PM and weekends from 9AM to 3 PM. Whether your pet needs a walk or drop-in visit, I’m happy to work with their routine and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, so I’ll always follow your care instructions closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise during every visit. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands.
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’m a veterinary technician with hands-on experience from working in a shelter, caring for both dogs and cats of all temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from small breeds to large working dogs, as well as reactive, rescue, and more independent or “grumpy” pets. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets for years and have had dogs my whole life. I’m comfortable with routines, medications if needed, and reading animal behavior to keep your pet safe and stress-free. Happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away. I’m currently in school part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate daytime visits, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. As a veterinary technician, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and any specific needs your pet may have. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Amazing host! So friendly and extremely flexible. Our flight was cancelled at the last minute and we needed our dog to stay for some extra days, and Laura made it so easy for us.

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.

I definitely recommend Jessica as a sitter.”
