“I’m very grateful to have met Maya. Rocky felt like home at her house, he played all day with her pups and I felt very comfortable leaving him at her place. Not only does he have a gated fence in the back but it was very homie for him inside. I will keep using Maya for the rest of the time I need a dog sitter. Thank you so much Maya!”

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!

“Mallory is very reliable, on time, keeps everything very neat and clean. Always kept me in the know with pictures, etc. My cats are a bit shy with new people in the house so there wasn't much interaction, which is fine with my girls. They would rather be left alone, and Mallory understood this. I would hire her again and recommend her sevices.”

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.
“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: Hi, I’m a 26 year old dog mom with an extreme passion for animals. I have years of experience in the field, including animal ER hospitals and clinics both wildlife and domestic, as well as dog/cat daycare and boarding at Pet Paradise. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology 🧪 with a pre-professional concentration in animal sciences and will be pursuing vet school in the near future. 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.

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

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 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!”
“Im so happy I found Marijana to take care of my little boy. She is so good and nice to them. I know my baby was really happy staying with her. She kept me updated about how my boy was doing. Totally recommend her. And when I need someone to take care of my boy I will definitely go with her. 🙏💙”
“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!!”

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 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.

“Amazing dog walker! Always responds super fast and is really reliable. Our dog loves Robert and it makes things so easy knowing our pup is in good hands. Definitely recommend💛🙏”
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!
“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!”

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.

Dogs will be treated as family. 😊
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: 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 treat every pet like family whether they are energetic puppies needing playtime and basic training or sweet senior pets who need a gentle touch and extra patience.

I’m happy to watch pets in their own home since most animals feel safest and most relaxed in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely, keep things calm and clean, and make sure your pet gets all the love, playtime, and attention they’re used to. I can also crate if needed and will always keep you updated with photos and messages.
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.

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: 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!

He was well taken care of and Francisca took the time to always send me pictures and videos of my big boy Mike.

I will definitely without a doubt use Francisca again.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover, my whole life. With my background in the Vet field and most of my time as a kennel manager, my prior history, ensures the safety and care of your fur baby. I also have pets of my own so every day I ensure that not only my pets are taken care of but yours as well. I have several family members and friends that only trust me with their pets. I have 2 seniors pets of my own and understand the difficulties that come along with it. I’m very knowledgeable on keeping logs of medication and when they are administered and ensuring they get all the bathroom breaks and play time possible. Currently for the summer time, I am home most of the week and can ensure a daily routine. While pet sitting if I do have to leave I limit my time out and I ensure there is entertainment to help with anxiety such as a radio or TV playing with a cartoon and or music videos of wildlife. This has had a positive experience for many pets I take care of. I never want to leave a pet alone for long. I have a large fenced in yard, I have three very friendly dogs (one large and two small senior dogs) they can keep your babies company. I also have crates for my own pets and if necessary for yours as well.
