“Ida really helped me out when I was in a bind the last minute. Great communication and sent pictures of our dog while we were gone. I can tell he was well cared for and seemed happy.”
“She is AMAZING!!!!! I was so nervous and scared leaving my dog since he usually stays with family. But she made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met her. She constantly sent pictures and videos and I just loved seeing how happy he was. You can literally feel the love she has for him and the other animals. I recommend everyone leave their dogs with her. She has such a beautiful and welcoming energy and seeing how much she truly loved and cared for my dog made my vacation stress free. Will definitely be leaving him with her for future vacations.”
“Jacqueline and her husband are absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our baby with them knowing our dog was in great hands! Extremely caring and sent pictures while we were away to let us know our baby was doing well! I would highly recommend them for pet sitting!”
“Heidi was awesome through the week Sophie stayed with her. She kept me updated on Sophie’s wellbeing and sent me lots of pictures and videos. You can tell when your fur-baby is having a good time and my baby was definitely enjoying the company.”
“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”
“Let me start this review explaining this is a dog. I just rescued three weeks ago. He is very sweet, but pretty leery of everything going on around him until he gets comfortable so I was really concerned about finding the right sitter for him, but I have to tell you I found the best! She met him right where he is and welcomed him in her home for all his little weirdness. He’s a dachshund so as I’m sure you know, he buries himself under anything he can. She let me know he was eating right away sent me more pictures than I can ever have thought I would get and kept me posted on everything. I am very grateful for her and have booked another 10 days with her the end of this month feel very safe if you’re considering her as a sitter, she’s wonderful!”
“Jessica was wonderful with Dexter and Dolce. Dexter is a senior pug and has little issues and special care instructions. Jessica followed all my instructions and took care of everything great. I will definitely will book with her again!”
“Gabriela is totally awesome, she took excellent care of my two dogs for three and a half days and sent me awesome vids and updates throughout the entire time of them playing in the yard. Highly recommend her to pet sit, thank you some much!”
“Yasmin took such great care of my fur baby while I was away! She kept up with his schedule perfectly, followed my guidelines for his care and sent daily updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When we reunited, he was in such great spirits and acted like he had an amazing little vacation of his own. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend!”
“Cindy was the best! I feel like I met a long lost friend. She took great care of my pups and sent frequent photos for my assurance. They were doing fine. Her place is amazing and allows. The dogs to have freedom while still being safe. I will definitely be using her again when I need services.”
“Iris was amazing! We usually leave our pup Walter with a family friend, but she was unavailable this time. Immediately, from the moment I contacted Iris, I felt comfortable. She was so kind and responsive throughout the entire process. It is obvious she loves animals and treats the pets she watches with so much love. When we picked up Walter, he was happy, not nervous or stressed, and definitely seemed to have an amazing stay! Totally recommend Iris!”
“I highly recommend Carlos and Claudia's services! They were very professional and responsive during Lexy's stay. I received photos and videos every day and took advantage of the grooming services. Lexy looked great and smelled amazing when I picked her up! :)”
“Cathleen took great care of our girl, Daphne! She was very quick to respond to any questions we had and we even had a FaceTime meet and great beforehand since we are out of state. We will absolutely use Cathleen again!”

We really appreciated how flexible Federica was with scheduling and how she kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
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!
“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.”

About: My experience with animals started in middle school when I began caring for two elderly Shih Tzus. From there, I started dog sitting for families around Goodland throughout my high school years, simply because of my genuine love for animals. Over time, I expanded my experience by fostering dogs for the Cleveland County Animal Shelter in North Carolina, where I’ve cared for multiple breeds with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. This was something I truly enjoyed and did on my days off from practice as I am a Division 1 NCAA athlete, which can be proof to my dedication and abilities at time management and multi-tasking! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m very active, organized, and enjoy spending time outdoors. As a Division 1 athlete, staying active and keeping in shape is already a big part of my lifestyle, so I love opportunities that allow me to exercise while caring for animals through walks, playtime, and staying engaged with them throughout the day. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great balance alongside my training and schedule. My goals to make your animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I dealt with mainly rescues from the Cleveland county shelter and found a passion for making trust with animals. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, cleanliness, and safety at all times to make sure pets are happy and stress-free. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and home, so I always aim to be dependable, respectful, and communicative throughout the stay.

Weekends I am free all day and will give all my time to your pets. I will follow any directions given to assure that you and your pet feel comfortable with me being around to walk or baby sit in your home.

“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.”

About: I've been an animal lover and a pet owner for many years - started with my cat Sophie, then fourteen years with my Yorkie, "Little Squishy Guy", through all the puppy antics, vet runs, and lazy couch days...until he passed last summer. Now I dog sit for friends and neighbors: walks, treats, cuddles. Yours gets that same warm care. I can only host dogs under 40 lbs. I'm retired and mostly home, so I'm flexible - your pet can get walks, feeds, or playtime whenever you need. I'm here most days, so no rushed schedules or surprises - your dog gets steady attention. Mornings are good for walks or breakfast, afternoons for play or rest, evenings for quiet time. Late drop-off? Early pickup? No problem. I'm not leaving. I board pets right here at my house - daytime or overnight. It's quiet, clean, secure: we hang out on the lanai, soaking up beautiful weather, fresh grass underfoot, and the beautiful water view. No loud noises or strangers - just calm space for walks, meals, potty breaks, or chilling together. I live alone and retired, so I'm gonna be hanging out with your dog all day. Your pup gets one-on-one attention.

“I had a great experience with Emmy and her doggy daycare, she took great care of Sheriff and will definitely use again. At first I was nervous to send my baby out to be watched by someone, but after doing the meet and greet with her I felt comfortable sending him on his way. On top of that I work 12hr shifts and we were able to figure out a time frame that fit my schedule very well where I wasn’t stressed about picking him up. Will reuse and I highly recommend if you are having any doubts or concerns to message and do that meet and greet, you won’t regret it!”
“Exceptional is not enough of a compliment for the service Fromm Carlos and Claudia! They are wonderful dog whisperers that make us parents feel so at ease while our puppies are in their care. I highly recommend them to anyone that wants to leave their puppies in a safe and FUN environment.”

I would most likely come to the clients house and i would play and care for the animal depending on what animal it is.If it is a dog i could take it to the park and walk it.
About: Trusted, dependable pet and home care across SWFL. I provide personalized attention, reliable communication & loving care for dogs of all breeds, personalities and energy levels while treating every pet and home with respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide constant attention, reliable communication, and quality care throughout the day. I enjoy exploring local parks, trails and outdoor spaces and I love incorporating safe walks, enrichment and new adventures into my routine with pets.. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I begin by learning what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I prioritize trust, communication and consistency by meeting with families beforehand discussing routines and special instructions and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away
About: I've had pups for as long as I can remember. Pups/pets aren't simply animals, they are family and they are treated as such. My pups are slightly spoiled and yours will be too! I am fortunate that my job allows me to have flexibility to offer a variety of dates and times creating availability for me to cater to you and your pets needs. I will care for our pets as if they were human “"kids"...slightly spoiled kids. I have a fenced yard and three labrador retrievers that are laid back (lazy) and friendly.

About: I provide reliable, attentive pet sitting backed by hands-on experience in a veterinary clinic. I have assisted with multiple canine births and have helped care for a litter of puppies through recovery from parvo, giving me strong experience with both routine and critical care. I’m comfortable administering medications as directed and monitoring pets closely for any changes in their health. If veterinary attention is ever needed, I have the ability to bring your pet with me to work for prompt, professional care and peace of mind. Beyond my clinical experience, I’m a fun, loving sitter who truly enjoys spending quality time with animals. I love taking dogs out for walks, park visits, beach trips, and, of course, plenty of snuggles. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own while you’re away. I’m available for pet sitting any day of the week. If you prefer that your dog not wait for potty breaks while I’m at work, I can bring them with me to the veterinary clinic, where they’ll be safely cared for and taken out regularly throughout the day. I have a fully fenced 10-acre property that provides plenty of safe space for exercise and play. I also have five friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own who enjoy interacting and playing with other dogs.
About: I bring over 20 years of personal dog experience plus hands-on training from working in veterinary hospitals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for pets comes naturally. Friends, neighbors, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and love their pets just like my own. I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital, but my schedule is consistent and gives me plenty of flexibility. I’m available on weekends and can also accommodate weekday bookings based on your needs. 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.

“Ida really helped me out when I was in a bind the last minute. Great communication and sent pictures of our dog while we were gone. I can tell he was well cared for and seemed happy.”
“She is AMAZING!!!!! I was so nervous and scared leaving my dog since he usually stays with family. But she made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met her. She constantly sent pictures and videos and I just loved seeing how happy he was. You can literally feel the love she has for him and the other animals. I recommend everyone leave their dogs with her. She has such a beautiful and welcoming energy and seeing how much she truly loved and cared for my dog made my vacation stress free. Will definitely be leaving him with her for future vacations.”
“Heidi was awesome through the week Sophie stayed with her. She kept me updated on Sophie’s wellbeing and sent me lots of pictures and videos. You can tell when your fur-baby is having a good time and my baby was definitely enjoying the company.”
“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”
“Let me start this review explaining this is a dog. I just rescued three weeks ago. He is very sweet, but pretty leery of everything going on around him until he gets comfortable so I was really concerned about finding the right sitter for him, but I have to tell you I found the best! She met him right where he is and welcomed him in her home for all his little weirdness. He’s a dachshund so as I’m sure you know, he buries himself under anything he can. She let me know he was eating right away sent me more pictures than I can ever have thought I would get and kept me posted on everything. I am very grateful for her and have booked another 10 days with her the end of this month feel very safe if you’re considering her as a sitter, she’s wonderful!”
“Jessica was wonderful with Dexter and Dolce. Dexter is a senior pug and has little issues and special care instructions. Jessica followed all my instructions and took care of everything great. I will definitely will book with her again!”
“Gabriela is totally awesome, she took excellent care of my two dogs for three and a half days and sent me awesome vids and updates throughout the entire time of them playing in the yard. Highly recommend her to pet sit, thank you some much!”
“Yasmin took such great care of my fur baby while I was away! She kept up with his schedule perfectly, followed my guidelines for his care and sent daily updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When we reunited, he was in such great spirits and acted like he had an amazing little vacation of his own. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I would absolutely trust her to watch him again. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Carlos and Claudia's services! They were very professional and responsive during Lexy's stay. I received photos and videos every day and took advantage of the grooming services. Lexy looked great and smelled amazing when I picked her up! :)”
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs throughout my life, personally owning a large Newfoundland and an Australian Cattle dog, so I have experience dealing with extremely high and low energy breeds. Im a life long animal lover who is currently pursuing my undergraduate in Animal Sciences with a focus on pre veterinarian medicine. In the past Ive dealt more with larger zoo animals like wolves and lynx's but Im always a sucker for some cute dogs. Im currently working mid week, Im available for boarding at any time however during M,T,Th,F bathroom breaks will be limited to 4-8 hours. During weekends and Wednesdays Ill be available to give your furry friends all the attention they need throughout the day. I live in a condo with no designated yard however there is an unfenced yard available for use and dogs will be taken on frequent walks, at least 2 times a day but this varies on your dogs needs. Im open to all dog sitting styles so if you like your dog crated at night or left to roam around just let me know. If your dog has specific preferences or needs please just specify before dropping them off.
“We had a wonderful experience with Federica! Our pup had such a great time staying with her and Bella over the weekend—it was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We really appreciated how flexible Federica was with scheduling and how she kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
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!
“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.”

“Lulu stayed with Laurel again for a long weekend and once again came home happy and tired. She bounds out of the car when we pull in the drive to drop her off. Laurel and Luca take great care of her and we love seeing the pictures.”
“Jocelynn and Kathryn took great care of our senior ladies on short notice. We received photo updates and the girls came back to us in great shape. We sincerely appreciate their help and the peace of mind we enjoyed while away.”
“Jose and his wife took care of my babies Kaia and Kira. Kaia and Kira are very high energy dogs and they did a wonderful job taking care of them. He kept me updated and I did not have to worry about them at all while on my trip cause I knew they were in good hands ! Will definitely contact him in the future for future trips and I recommend him to anyone who wants a great dog sitter !”
