“Marley was very well taken care of. I didnt worry about him at all. They sent pics and video. They took him for walks. We will use again for sure. Very very nice people!”
“Karen is actually 6 STARS ⭐️ Rocky felt right at home - we received pictures & videos throughout his stay Rocky loved cuddling up to Karen - had plenty of walks and play time . We really appreciated the love & care Rocky got ! Already working on his next stay ❣️”
“It was so hard to leave Stella for such a long period, but immediately relieved when the pictures and videos started coming in. Stella had a blast. She fit right in with the family.. I think she actually looked better picking her up than when I dropped her off. I could tell she had been brushed and combed, well taken care of.”
“A huge shout out and thank you to Sandra and her family for taking care of our Loki while we were gone on vacation. Such an incredible relief, not having to worry about if he is being cared for and having fun. Since he fell asleep within 5 minutes of being in the car, I'd say he had a great time. Thank you, Thank You. Thank You!!!”
“Mia had a fabulous stay with Carla for a long weekend. We got lots of pictures and info on how she was doing. She even managed to get Mia to eat her kibble that she usually just picks at. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Carla again!!”
“Ashlee is an amazing dog sitter. She cares for them as though they were her own. Clean and home well set up for dogs. One of our dogs became sick and she took them to the vet. Excellent communication and completed course of treatment. Recommend without reservation.”
“Amazing! I think Smokey didn't want to come home with me, LOL. Vetra is such a blessing for our disabled cat who hasn't been boarded before. During the meet & greet, Smokey was comfortable with Vetra & her place right away. I knew that the medical background of Vetra would come in handy: the compassion, expertise in handling medication, caring personality, pleasant personality, excellent communication skills. She's an asset to Rover. Will definitely work with her again & recommend to friends.”
“Celia continues to be our go to sitter for our boys. Even though they hadn’t seen her in awhile they ran right to the front door and walked in like it was home! That peace of mind allows us to leave them and enjoy ourselves,”
“Lyndsey and Thomas took wonderful care of our puppy! Rex was well cared for! Plenty of updates during his stay. While we were only gone for a couple of days it was such a peace of mind knowing that he was so well cared for. Thank you so much! Should we need care for Rex again we will absolutely visit again!”
“Thank you Claudia for your kindness and patience with my dog Duke, you are a very good petsitter. Thanks for everything. I will definitely request your help in the future.”
““This is the second time I’ve used Jessica’s pet sitting services, and once again, I’m beyond happy with the experience. She takes such great care of Joy, and he’s always so excited and content every time he’s with her. It’s clear that she truly cares about our furry companions, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to look after my pet. Highly recommend!””
“Erika (and her daughter!) were absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Covey. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was so clear that they both genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. They treated him like family — playful, loving, and attentive to all his little quirks. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’d trust Erika and her daughter with Covey anytime and can’t recommend them enough! 💛🐶”
“My dog means everything to me, and leaving her is very difficult. I went to see Krista and she seemed to be right person to watch Maggie. I was wrong, she was an outstanding person. Maggie is a dog that needs people and returns that affection with her love. Thanks Krista for taking such great care of her. I will not hesitate to use you in the future. Yours truly Don, Kelley, and of coarse Maggie May.”
“Alain has been absolutely wonderful with Hershey! From the very first moment, I could tell he truly cared and took the time to understand Hershey’s needs and personality. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. Hershey came back happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of, which gives me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate the updates and photos—it’s clear that Hershey enjoys his time with Alain. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup. Thank you, Alain!”
“We can't thank Maria enough for her kindness and flexibility in accommodating our last-minute request for Pluto's care. From the moment we connected, she was beyond wonderful—thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated throughout the entire reservation with pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. Pluto was clearly happy and well cared for! On top of that, Maria has the most gentle giant of a dog, who made Pluto feel right at home. The experience was seamless, and we truly appreciate her warmth and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“Cynthia and her family are amazing! Cynthia was in contact with me daily for updates and pictures. She made sure my dog was well taken care of and felt right at home. I highly recommend Cynthia for any and all future visits. She and her family will take care of your dog like they are their own and make you feel more than comfortable about leaving your pup for a few days!”
“Teresa treated my dogs like they were her own and based on the pictures and videos she sent us, the dogs were happy and very relaxed in her home! We will definitely use Teresa again next time we need a dog sitter!! Thank you for all that you did!”

“Very thankful we chose Gulcin to drop in on our cat. She sent pictures each day. And that was very comforting to see as we were gone for a week! She stayed the whole 30 minutes each time.

“Erika was the best! This was Coppers first doggy daycare and he loved it ! She paid attention to him, gave him walks, and he enjoyed playing with her dog as well. She communicated with me throughout the day, which made me feel at ease since we are not from this area. I highly recommend Erika and I will use her every time we are back here.”

About: I have over 40 years’ experience caring for pets. I've often watched friends and family dogs. As I am now fully retired and recently lost my most precious Dachshund, Nathan(hotdogs) after 16+ years, I’m hoping to help anyone who may need pet care watching their family dogs. I really enjoy watching, walking and playing with pets. See you soon! I'm fully retired and spend most of my time at home. I have plenty of free time and I’ve always enjoyed getting out for a dog walk in the early morning and late afternoon. I'm committed to loving care and safety for my clients' pets. I always enjoy long walks with the energetic fast pace Rovers. I'm always cautious to have them on a proper leash and collar or harness during their walks. I take care not to walk dogs when it's too hot and always keep them off of hot sidewalks and pavement. I also allow plenty of couch and TV time for all dogs especially the less active senior dogs. Tell me your dog's needs and habits and I will do my very best to make them feel right at home.
“Our dog has done weekly daycare with Pamela for about two years, that’s easily 100 times- and I would recommend her 100 times over. She’s also boarded our dog and checked in on our cat when traveling. Pamela is great at communicating during a stay and always takes the best pictures of our pup. She genuinely loves her job and every dog that she works with she treats as her own. I’ve never worried about my dog with her and any issues (dogs not immediately getting along) have always been quickly and thoroughly communicated. The pack of daycare dogs she made has been amazing at socializing our dog and wearing her out. Our dog is so excited to go to Pamela’s every single time and sleeps so well that night. Pamela is truly unique in how she runs her daycare and the services she provides. Any dog that gets to spend the day with her is well loved and cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”

“Sierra & I LOVED Lynette! She and her husband were so great. Sierra took to them both immediately, enjoyed their huge fenced backyard and just had a lovely day at their house. Lynette sent some sweet photos, which I appreciated. And most importantly, I had peace of mind that Sierra was in good, responsible hands for the day. Lynette is an RN, so a natural caregiver! Thanks, Lynette, for everything!”
“Vetra is 5 stars! I can’t say enough about her care during Bo’s first doggy daycare. She sent a picture and I knew immediately he was happy and doing great. She held him for 30 minutes to calm him, pottied him several times and encouraged him to eat during his stay. He was very calm when I picked him up from daycare showing no signs of anxiety or upset. Vetra provided a wonderful, caring environment for Bo. Thank you Vetra! We are booking again!”
“I highly recommend Ashlee to care for your love-pups. I reached out to Ashlee for doggie day care assistance for my two cocker spaniels. This was to be the first time for these two pups to be cared for by anyone other than myself and outside of their own home. Ashlee was extremely pleasant and professional. Ashlee put me at ease by answering my questions before I even asked them. Ashlee and her family have a very nice and secure home. I was quite comfortable leaving my love-pups in her hands. I will call upon Ashlee for future doggie day care and slumber parties for my two love-pups. Thank you so much Ashlee!”

We will definitely use her again . Nice safe house with plenty of room for dogs to roam in the heart of the home where they are easily supervised .”
“Gulcin was very accommodating as our request was last minute. Met here out front where Harley was able to greet her. She kept us updated with pics and messages on how he was doing and took him for a walk while with her. It was only for a few hours but could tell she has a love for dogs! If we need daycare again while here in Ft. Myers while on vacation will definitely use her again!”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! From the moment we arrived, our pup ran straight into her home without hesitation or barking at all, which immediately showed us how comfortable and safe she felt there. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Elisa was incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. It’s obvious our puppy had an amazing time and was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Elisa again. I highly recommend trusting your pup with her, you won’t regret it!”

About: Hello! I’m a 31-year-old work-from-home entrepreneur and former flight instructor with a passion for animals. After graduating from the University of Florida in 2015, I moved to Los Angeles, where I worked as a nanny before becoming a flight attendant. It was during that time that I discovered my love for aviation, eventually earning my certifications to become a commercial airline pilot. Now, I’m looking for additional opportunities to provide exceptional care for your pets. I’ll care for and love your fur babies as if they were my own, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-looked after. I’m responsible, flexible with scheduling, and have reliable transportation, making me available to accommodate any special needs, including transporting your pets if necessary.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I’ve raised puppies and taken care of senior pets. Unfortunately I do not have any pets right now, I lost our senior dog a little over a year ago and my heart is still recovering.. My goal with my own animals and with my guests is to provide a safe, balanced, and fulfilling place for them to come and have some fun! They will be exercised, basic training (sit, stay, loose leash walking) will be worked on and lots of love! I understand that your animals mental health is just as important as their physical so I strive to make it a well rounded experience for your special pet! I am currently self employed and have a lot of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. I homeschool my 2 daughters (8 & 9 years old), who are very knowledgeable in animals and the handling and care of pets. I am an animal person through and through and I love when I have new friends around to play with and learn from!! The flexibility in my schedule gives me the ability to be able to do “field trips” with the doggies several times a week which is great for our puppy friends that need as much exposure to new things as possible ( 100 things in 100 days!)!! I understand how unnerving it can be leaving your dog or cat with a stranger while you’re away, I used to feel the same way which is what made me want to help others have a safe spot for their animals, free of doubt and worry. Each animal gets one on one attention and there is someone with them at all times. I want your pet to feel like they are at their second home when they are with me and want you to feel confident that they are well taken care of and loved.
“Pablo and Elaine have a carefully controlled dog pack with a range of moderate energies well suited for socializing other dogs. Although our dog was initially nervous when we brought her there, she fit in well with the pack by the time we returned to pick her up. We are extremely happy with their service and highly recommend them.”

“You can tell right away that Karin loves dogs. Her calm and assertive demeanor made a huge difference with my three (3) pitbulls. They were very happy and well-organized during walks under her pack leadership….walking next to her, all in nice formation. She is reliable, extremely punctual with frequent communications. I highly recommend Karin and will continue depending on her.”

Extra services like bringing in mail or watering plants can also be arranged. I prioritize cleanliness and leave the home exactly as I found it. For both cases, I stay in frequent communication with the pet owners, providing updates and cute photos to keep them connected with their furry friends. The well-being and happiness of pets and their owners are my top priority
“Barry is the best with my 3 dogs. He walks all 3 of them together, sends great photos that just make my day when I’m at work. He’s prompt, courteous and best of all, my dogs love him!”
About: I have a silver sable German Shepard who is very energetic and needy! I love all animals and understand the needs of each pet individually my dog gets walked about three to four times a day. I do school online so I’m home all day and available for walks dog sitting check ins and anything needed for any pet! I have one dog in my home right now she is crate trained and potty trained. She is obedient and very good with other dogs.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I am a dog mom to an adorable Aussie! I’ve raised and trained two puppies (my own dog and a golden retriever puppy). I absolutely love puppies and providing them with a routine. You can rest assured your pup will be in a good home! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or dogs with special needs so please keep this in mind! I make pets priority. I will take your dog for a long walk in the neighborhood. We can play in the backyard as well. If you prefer, I can take them to the beach as well! Just say the word! I live on Sanibel Island. I am happy to walk your dog in the neighborhood, play in the yard or pool, or even go for a beach walk! Your dog will get plenty of exercise and potty breaks!
About: I have two large-breed dogs, one is a three year old Cane Corso mix and our other girl is almost ten (a Lab mix)! Both are rescues from the south, so I have a lot of experience working with anxious dogs, puppies, and some senior care. I grew up with large black labs, so I've had dogs in my life, for my entire life! I run my own business and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can also take your dog for a longer hike, snifaris, and more! I do not host other dogs in my own home, but I would be sure to have a consultation with the client ahead of any pet sitting to go over routines, expectations, feeding schedule, etc. It's not fair to expect a dog to adjust to your schedule when you are the newbie in their life!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have a dog named Cash and a cat named Teddy. I also previously cared for an English Mastiff, so I’m comfortable with both large and small animals. Being a huge animal lover, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering lots of attention and affection, and keeping pets calm and happy in their routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always keep owners updated for peace of mind. 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. My routine includes morning walks around 8 AM, feeding, and usually time outside for exercise, whether that’s a walk or a trip to the dog park. I’m very hands-on with animals and make sure they get both structure and plenty of affection. I also have my own pup, so I’m experienced with daily care, routines, and keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable in a home environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I keep doors and gates secured, watch pets closely during play, and follow their routines exactly as you describe to help them feel safe. I’m experienced with puppies, cats, and multi-pet homes, so I’m always careful with feeding times, introductions, and energy levels. I give constant supervision, lots of reassurance, and make sure every pet has their own comfortable space to relax. You can expect clear communication and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
About: Hi! My name is Paige, and I’m 24 years old. I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in forensic studies with the goal of becoming a crime scene investigator. 🕵️ I currently work two jobs and now a third to look for a little extra income to save for my new home. My love for animals began when I was a child and has only grown over the years. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and even lizards! Because of that, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience providing overnight dog-sitting services for families through other pet-care apps. This has allowed me to work with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines while giving pet parents peace of mind when they’re away from home. I also have two furry companions of my own—a Mini Dapple Dachshund named Bennett and a sweet cat named Ruby. 🥰 They mean the world to me, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I would love the opportunity to provide them with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own! 🐾❤️ I work part time and I’m in college. I can find time between classes and work to take care of your pet. I can also stay additional nights or days as well. I can assure you that your pet will be loved and taken care of! I can provide dog toys if given permission and I will always make sure your pet is happy.
About: I have always had dogs in my household, as an infant I used to help my mom breed pitbulls. I have handled all sizes of dog and am comfortable with all animals. Most of my family relies on me to help with their dogs and cats. I love animals! I can help teach basic training i.e sit and paw. I am free to do walks everyday at anytime this would include some playtime and potty breaks. Overnight care is something I can do anyday of the week, but I prefer not to do them everyday. My dog is boundary trained so she can be off leash in our unfenced yard and she know where she can not go. My dog is also crate trained and knows when she needs to go into her crate. For family and friends, I follow their directions. My uncles dog is dog aggressive so I take all precautions when taking her on a walk and make sure that I pay attention to any animals outside. I also know how to deal with thunder anxiety and can calm down almost any dog during a storm.

“It was so hard to leave Stella for such a long period, but immediately relieved when the pictures and videos started coming in. Stella had a blast. She fit right in with the family.. I think she actually looked better picking her up than when I dropped her off. I could tell she had been brushed and combed, well taken care of.”
“A huge shout out and thank you to Sandra and her family for taking care of our Loki while we were gone on vacation. Such an incredible relief, not having to worry about if he is being cared for and having fun. Since he fell asleep within 5 minutes of being in the car, I'd say he had a great time. Thank you, Thank You. Thank You!!!”
“Lyndsey and Thomas took wonderful care of our puppy! Rex was well cared for! Plenty of updates during his stay.

She takes such great care of Joy, and he’s always so excited and content every time he’s with her. It’s clear that she truly cares about our furry companions, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to look after my pet. Highly recommend!””
“Erika (and her daughter!) were absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Covey. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was so clear that they both genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. They treated him like family — playful, loving, and attentive to all his little quirks. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’d trust Erika and her daughter with Covey anytime and can’t recommend them enough! 💛🐶”
“My dog means everything to me, and leaving her is very difficult. I went to see Krista and she seemed to be right person to watch Maggie. I was wrong, she was an outstanding person. Maggie is a dog that needs people and returns that affection with her love. Thanks Krista for taking such great care of her. I will not hesitate to use you in the future. Yours truly Don, Kelley, and of coarse Maggie May.”
“Alain has been absolutely wonderful with Hershey! From the very first moment, I could tell he truly cared and took the time to understand Hershey’s needs and personality.

I really appreciate the updates and photos—it’s clear that Hershey enjoys his time with Alain. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup. Thank you, Alain!”
“We can't thank Maria enough for her kindness and flexibility in accommodating our last-minute request for Pluto's care. From the moment we connected, she was beyond wonderful—thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. She kept us updated throughout the entire reservation with pictures, giving us complete peace of mind. Pluto was clearly happy and well cared for! On top of that, Maria has the most gentle giant of a dog, who made Pluto feel right at home. The experience was seamless, and we truly appreciate her warmth and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! Highly recommended!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt confident they were in great hands. Throughout my weekend trip, I received regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was friendly, communicative, and clearly cared about my dogs’ well-being. The photos showed them looking comfortable, relaxed, and happy, and when I picked them up, they were happy and well cared for. It’s obvious she treats the pets in her care with kindness and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again in the future!”
“If you want your furry babies to be loved when you "have to" go on vacation... this is who you need to contact. Absolutely, the best.

Already planning another vacation so our doggies can go to Laura and Evan's house.”

Definitely will be booking with him again.”

I will definitely reach out to Sam again when I need help with Charly !”
