About: I’ve always been asked to care for dogs in the recent years. A lot of family, family friends and neighbors have asked for me to walk, feed, and check in their pets while they’re at home. I currently work a full time job, and my schedule allows me to spend evening walks when it is not too hot outside for the dogs paws. I have a wooden high fence in my backyard. I can also crate pets, I have a big one with easy access to in my living room.

About: We love animals, are very attentive, send videos and updates on their stay, and I also have a veterinary technology degree! We’re very comfortable administering meds or special needs animals! :) I own my own cleaning business, so I make my own schedule, and am able to be home, to tend to your adorable fur babies! Our yard is 3/4 fenced in, so we walk all pups 4-6 times a day. We are very hands on and love to go on walks around our super cute neighborhood.

About: While most of my full-time cat ownership happened a bit earlier in life, my appreciation for them has never faded. I love their independent spirits, their quiet curiosity, and the fact that they rarely miss an opportunity to sit in judgment of daily life... Lol. Whether your feline friend wants to curl up next to the laptop, chase a laser pointer, or just be left alone to do their own thing, they’ll find a calm, respectful environment here. I'm more than happy to accommodate their specific feeding routines, litter preferences, and personal boundaries.

About: Hi, I’m David. As a lifelong animal lover, providing dedicated, high-quality pet care is very much second nature to me. I understand firsthand the deep bond we share with our animals—a bond I thoroughly enjoyed for nearly 13 unforgettable years with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Because I work remotely and typically enjoy a flexible schedule, your pet will have constant companionship, individual attention, and seamless supervision throughout the day. Whether they are boarding at my place or I am house-sitting at yours, they will never be a secondary priority. I treat every guest like a member of my family. Whether your pet thrives on active walks, playful energy, or just quiet companionship, they will enjoy a relaxing, boutique stay tailored entirely to their normal routine. I know how tough it is to be away from your fur baby, so I am fully committed to keeping you connected with photos, videos, and text updates as often as you prefer. For your convenience, I also offer same-day appointments and make every effort to accommodate your schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I primarily work remotely and enjoy a flexible schedule, so I'm generally available most days/nights when needed. I can also be available with little or no notice assuming no prior committments. I have an open grass yard in both the front and back of my property, and I enjoy spending time outside. I'm very open to keeping pet owners as informed as possible and am happy to keep you up to date with photo logs throughout the day.

“Perfect farm get-a-way for my pooches! Jennifer and Tevin were great with my dogs. They are very knowledgeable with training and breeding, and happy to share their knowledge. This visit served as a meet and greet for our future boarding opportunities/ staycations for my dogs and it served us well, knowing my dogs fit in and I can be at ease knowing they will be well taken care of, with freedom to explore and have a comfy place like a part of the family.”

About: As a child raised on a farm, I developed a natural ability to nurture and care for animals of all kinds. For as long as I can remember, I have provided my pets with everything they need to thrive. I have owned several dogs and cats over the years. I make sure they remain happy and healthy. This includes administering treatments when necessary, bathing them regularly, trimming their nails, keeping up with vaccinations and medical checkups, and providing plenty of affection and companionship on a daily basis. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me. I not only provide for their basic needs, but I also establish a loving bond with my pets through consistent care, grooming, attention, and of course walks and treats. The wellbeing of the animals in my care is of the utmost importance to me. Pet care is completely integrated into my daily routine and responsibilities. From the moment I wake up, my focus is on ensuring the needs of my pets are met. Each morning begins with filling food and water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and walking the dogs. My farm animals also require daily attention in terms of feeding, watering and letting them into their specific areas. Throughout the day, I am constantly checking in on my pets, refilling water, playing with them, and providing comfort and companionship. If any of my pets show signs they are unwell or need to see a vet, I make that my top priority and will rearrange my schedule accordingly to take them to appointments. Even during the nighttime, I am there for my pet and their needs and listen for any sounds that would indicate they want to go outside or need something. Their wellbeing and happiness comes before anything else in my routine. No matter what else is going on in my day, my pets always receive the time, care and love they deserve from me. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I provide for all the needs of the animals under my supervision. Whether at my own home or a client's residence, my focus is always on ensuring the pets remain happy, healthy, and well behaved. I allow the pets outdoor access at regular intervals, taking them for walks when needed. Basic hygiene is a priority, so pets receive routine grooming that includes baths and nail trimming. I play with the animals frequently to and provide lots of affection, hugs, and praise to make sure they feel loved. Their diet is closely monitored. I prepare fresh food and change water dishes regularly. I also secure away objects that could pose a hazard if left where a pet could access them. Regular vet appointments are scheduled to check them out and keep them up to date with everything. I take the pets to parks and other open spaces for fun. My role as a pet caregiver ensures all needs are met and the animals remain comfortable and content, whether at my own residence or under my supervision at a client's home. The pets' happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities.

About: Hi my name is Alaina, I’m an animal lover and major dog enthusiast! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and they’re my absolute world. I currently show & take care of french bulldogs! I’m currently my own boss. So I do make my own schedule to best be able to accommodate to you and your baby’s daily routine! I live on 10 Acres in the rural estates of Naples. So space and playtime is top of the list. I do not crate your baby unless you would otherwise like me to do so. We would go about their normal routine with some extra love, cuddles and a treat or two (upon approval and dietary notices.)

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!

LaBelle, FL, 33935

About: I have been a Veterinary Technician for over 10 yeas and counting. I was in general practice for 7 years and currently at a specialty hospital for animals. My specialty is caring for pets who are medically needy or just need the attention. I know how important it is for people to feel that their dog or cat is being cared for properly. I am comfortable administering all medications or other medical care as needed. I follow any directions that are given to me when your loved one is in my care. I have open communication with owners when their pets are with me. My husband also helps me in any care your pets may need. I am currently working 4 days a week. When your animal is in my care I have the ability to take them to work with me so they are never left alone and under my supervision at all times. When they are with me, I have the opportunity to walk them and feed them throughout the day. I have fenced in yard and live and a friendly neighborhood to take them on walks. As well there is a dog park in my community. I will let your pets roam my house or if specified I will crate them. I have one dog that is in a crate when your pets are with me. She’s a friendly lab but I understand owners worries when other dogs are present.
