I already have her booked again.”
“Cynthia and her family did an amazing job watching AK during our long weekend trip. Cynthia sent daily updates, videos, and photos during AK's stay in their home.

When arriving home after picking up AK Cynthia included a sweet picture of AK during his stay in her home. We will definitely be using Cynthia and her family's services again.”

About: I have taken care of/walked dogs since I was 7. I’ve grown up with dogs and have never lived without one in my home. Many neighbors and friends trust me with their pets to either walk or care for them from either a day at a time or weeks. During the week I have sports and school but weekends are reserved to make sure the care of your pet(s) is received properly and carefully I am more than happy to play with any pet to ensure he/she is happy and healthy while I care for them. If you have special requests, I can make it a priority to fulfill them.
“Alesia is the best! She kept me updated regularly and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cats. When my door lock wouldn’t work, she provided the food to my outside cats so they wouldn’t go hungry until I got back. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!!!”
“Natasha came and watched our kittens three separate times. We had to book her last minute and she was super flexible. Sent lots of pictures and kept them fed. She even brought in a package for us. We would recommend!”
“Mary was great! We’ve used her before and she was really good to our cat. He got a lot of love and was significantly less angry at us for being gone for a week. So he got some good attention and play time while we were gone.”
“Jennifer was amazing with my 15 1/2 year old cat that has GI lymphoma. I was super nervous to leave her for two weeks as she’s on many medications and supplements with chemotherapy. However, Jennifer was confident that she could give my Boo her medications and she did! She took great care of my high maintenance kitty and she alerted me as soon as she noticed some blood in my kitty’s vomit and took her to the emergency vet for me. Jennifer was very caring and patient with Boo and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I take care of both cats and dogs, I have pet sitting experience since I was a little kid. I am good with helping dogs not jump on people. I currently work from home doing so ial media management, but I wanted to get another job so I have a way to get out of the house more! I have my own vehicle so I can either take your doggies out on a day trip, or take them to the vet - whatever you may need. Cats included of course!
“Mary helped us on short notice. She treated Luke great and handled everything like a professional. She followed our directions without any fuss and made things easy. We appreciated her help and plan to book her again if available.”
“Julia made my vacation stress-free knowing my senior cat was doing so well with her daily pictures & updates. I will definitely use Julia in the future for any pet sitting needs 🩵”

About: Hi! I’m Siddhi, a responsible and caring pet lover based in Fort Myers. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including my own husky Leo and cat Oliver, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ve also volunteered with Gulf Coast Humane Society, which gave me experience with different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always treat your pet like my own 🤍 Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have both a dog and a cat of my own. I’m used to scheduled walks, feeding times, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I plan my week around responsibilities, so I always make sure I have dedicated time for walks or drop-ins. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and have fresh water at all times. I also give them lots of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and always prioritize the pet’s safety. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease.

I can also stay in your home with your dog or cat and come to care for it as needed.

I absolutely love getting to know each dog's personality! I am more than happy to accommodate any special training requests you've been working on to keep those skills sharp as well. I can help teach and reinforce basic commands like sit, down, heal, and place if you've got a young pup. You can count on photo updates, and maybe even a couple punny captions! I work remotely with a relatively flexible schedule, which gives me greater availability to love on your pup whenever you are traveling or just away at work! When you choose me, your fur baby is my fur baby! I do whatever is needed to make sure your pup feels safe, secure, and happy while you're away. We follow any and all house rules for visits in your home. In my home, I have 2 Golden Retrievers who are always welcoming of new playmates to burn some energy, or an older doggo that just wants to snuggle up and relax in the a/c between walks - whichever speed fits your dog's style.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life, with over 25 years of experience looking after cats and more than 20 years as a proud dog dad. What started as “the kids’ cats” quickly turned into a lifelong love of feline companionship—because, as any cat owner knows, they always decide who their person is! I currently share my home with two cats and truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality, routines, and preferences. As a longtime dog parent as well, I understand how important consistency, patience, and affection are for dogs of all ages and energy levels. From walks and mealtimes to playtime and quiet companionship, I’m comfortable providing the care and attention pets need to feel safe and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in creating a calm, loving environment. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and genuinely excited to care for your furry family member, I’d love to help. I just retired from the Army. I have a lot of time on my hands. Your fury family member will be my first priority of the day! All special needs will be met for your animals. If your dog or dogs need crated for the night you can rest assure that all protocols will be followed to the letter of instructions left.
“Christelle is the best walker/sitter. She communicates perfectly, and is extremely punctual. I'm pretty sure my dog get more excited to see her than he does for me. If you go with her services you will not be disappointed. She made everything really easy for me being a first time furparent.”

Communication was seamless and so easy, whether over the phone or through messages. I hope to use her again! Thanks Laci!”

About: I’ve always been the one to call to take care of pets for friends, family and family friends. I’m very strongly relied on to walk, feed, bathe and love anyone’s fur baby! I’m currently working part time Thursday-Sunday nights each week. I have more than enough free time every morning, afternoon and night after work to care for any pet. I can easily put your dog in their crate or in any area told to me by the owner. My main priority is for the pets to feel the most comfortable and in their routine as possible.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, not just pets, but family. I grew up around dogs, volunteered with the Humane Society throughout college, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs needing extra medical care. One of my huskies developed diabetes and eventually went blind, so I became very comfortable administering medications and injections, following strict routines, and giving patient, loving care. I lost my sweet Shih Tzu after 17 amazing years together, and now I have two spoiled pups of my own, Gracie and Lily. I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they are my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekends, with weekday availability on many days as well. I’m happy to work with pet parents whenever possible and always do my best to accommodate schedules, routines, and special care needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and personalities so each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I live in a very dog-friendly area in Fort Myers with plenty of space for walks, playtime, and exercise. I always prioritize safety, supervision, communication, and making sure your pet feels at home.
