About: I’ve been a trusted sitter with TrustedHousesitters since January 2025, completing over 50 sits with consistent 5-star reviews. I’m known for being reliable, resourceful, and genuinely caring—treating every pet and home with the same love and respect I would my own. I am also known for keeping spaces spotless, so you can return to a happy pet and a clean, peaceful home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely, allowing me to be present and attentive throughout the day—handling feedings, walks, playtime, and companionship with consistency and care. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment by following your pet’s routine closely and respecting your home as if it were my own. I keep spaces clean, secure, and stress-free, while giving your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and gentle care. My goal is for you to have peace of mind and for your pets to feel at ease in their own environment.

“I have a Senior Golden Retriever that is encountering some Senior problems that require patience and compassion. Sean has show that to her and handled some challenging situations with ease … highly recommend.”

About: I have volunteered at Big Dog Ranch Rescue for 3 years and cared for pets of neighbors, friends, and relatives. This hands-on experience has trained me to safely handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Because of my shelter background, I am completely confident handling large, powerful breeds that pull on walks, as well as shy or anxious rescue dogs that require a patient, gentle approach. Safety is my top priority, and I am skilled at reading dog body language to keep your pet secure. I am a graduate student living in the Naples area, which means my typical weekday is spent studying at home. This makes my schedule incredibly flexible for midday walks and drop-in visits while you are at work or away for the day.During the week, I have wide-open availability to come to your home for daytime care, walks, and check-ins. On occasional weekends, I travel to Miami for my graduate classes. However, my Rover calendar will always be strictly updated so you can always book your walks and drop-ins with complete confidence. Your home is your dog's safe space, and my goal is to keep it that way. Because I do not host pets at my own house, my full focus is on keeping your dog secure, comfortable, and happy right in their own familiar environment.

About: I have 3 years of veterinary medicine schooling from Purdue University. I also work as a veterinary assistant at Blair Animal Clinic. I am excited to meet your pup! I am willing to work with you and your schedule! I do require a slight notice but there are some days i can help out last minute! I have a fenced dog park as well as a motivation to be active for walks or runs! I am excited to meet your pup!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, everything from large breeds to pugs, and now French Bulldogs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, with a strong focus on medical and special-needs care. For over a year, I helped care for my Frenchie, Lupe, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. This involved close monitoring, medication management, and adjusting daily routines as her needs changed. I’ve also rescued and rehabilitated Huggies, a Frenchie who was unable to use her back legs, supporting her mobility, comfort, and confidence throughout her recovery. I’m patient, attentive, and very intentional about following care instructions—especially for dogs who need extra support. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every dog like family. Pet care is a priority in my routine. I’m available for multiple drop-in visits throughout the day, and after 6pm on weekdays I can stay for longer periods to make sure your pets have company, get walked, and feel settled. I’m also available for extended care on weekends. I’m especially attentive to maintaining consistent routines for pets who need extra support, including those with medical needs, and I provide thoughtful updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Because I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, I prefer to provide care in my client’s home. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their normal routine. I’m very mindful of safety and comfort in each home, following care instructions closely, keeping pets secure, monitoring for any changes in behavior, and making sure their space is clean and calm. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I took care of my neighbor’s dogs growing up. In college I worked at a vet hospital part time and took an elderly neighbor’s GSPs for runs. I have a 12 year old border collie mix rescue from the STL senior dog project and my 16 year-old poodle recently crossed the rainbow bridge. i’m knowledgeable on senior Dog care and my border collie mix does well with other animals. I will be available on weekends and evenings for drop ins or walks. I have no issue with travel and look forward to getting to know your pup! I currently live in a first floor apartment with immediate access to a dog park. Happy to board with my senior border collie mix or visit a pup’s home.

About: Hi, I’m Danielle — a caring sitter who specializes in overnight and extended stays. I provide a peaceful, attentive presence for pets while their people are away, and I focus on a small number of bookings to give each animal the time and care they deserve. I’m currently prioritizing multi-night bookings and have limited availability for short drop-ins or one-off day visits. I have never in 20+ years cancelled on anyone going out of town, although recently I did have to cancel a 2 drop-ins when owners were going out to eat, due to flu. It was inconvenient and regrettable, but in situations where an animal truly needed me, I have always come through. Always. I offer my clients peace of mind, respect for your animals and a high level of loving care. This value was developed over time. When I care for your pets during a house stay, I’m not just feeding and walking — I’m pressing pause on my own routines to move into theirs. House sitting is a full commitment that includes emotional labor, flexibility, and presence. Many years ago while living in NJ and going to college, a family member and I set up PawsOnThePark as a pet care service. I did the animal care for that for 2 years. I regularly did drop-in and overnight visits for a variety of dogs and cats. I have experience with administering medication as well as reinforcement training for young animals. I have also worked at PetSmarts Doggie Day care and have known the joy of handling 10+ dogs in the same room. While there, I also cared for the boarded cats and learned about feline care. I consider every animal I care for to be a good friend. While I take the responsibility for their well-being very seriously, we always have fun together and my fur friends receive lots of love, undivided attention, and care. I started by training my family sheepdog at age 10 and have been caring for animals ever since. Until recently I was the mother of 2 elderly Shih Tzus; I have experience with dogs of all ages. I know the importance of consistency -- whether that applies to experiences, medications and food, familiar surroundings, or using the same training cues. Also, my personal limit for dog weight is 75 pounds. Rover classes dogs 41-100 in one group but I can responsibly take care of dogs up to about 75 pounds depending on how well they are trained to walk on a leash. I do digital gig work from home (web development, fixing sites, automation etc.) so I have an extremely flexible schedule. It means I can dog sit and work from your home as long as the Wifi is good. I can take frequent breaks to go on a walk or tend to your pets. In fact it doing that is good for me. Your animals will generally have human company most of the day, even when I am not interacting directly with them. I am able to set aside a significant amount of time for their care and direct interaction (play, walks, general attention). I offer attentive, loving care — but please know that house sitting means more than just pet care. It’s a full lifestyle shift for me during your trip, and it takes total commitment it to do it well. I am happy to come to your residence for any length of time, whether for short walk or a long visit. The environment I create around your pets is loving and calming. Clients can count on reliable, professional care and someone who treats this responsibility with the utmost respect. For house stays, I am at the house except for errands and an occasional outing limited to 3 hours max. Your pets’ wellbeing is my main focus. I have great respect for the animals in my care and for your property. My service is for pet parents who appreciate attentive care and knowing their pets are in capable, compassionate hands . That said if your pets like their space I give it to them, but I am no less concerned and focused on their health and comfort.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have a passion for providing them with the best care possible. I love all dog breeds and would be honored to provide my pet care skills to your precious pups! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m available any day of the week for dog walking, daily check-in visits, or in-home dog sitting. I am unable to provide pet care in my own home, but I provide exceptional in-your-home care and will respect your home as if it is my own. This also allows your dog to remain in a location they are familiar and comfortable with and prevents them from becoming stressed or anxious while you’re away.

“Sofie had a great walk with Chase, he gave her plenty of exercise and play time while I was away at work. Will definitely use him as a dog walker again! ?”

About: I’ve always taken care of all sorts of animals growing up. I have a Shih Tzu poodle mix at home that I adore. Every dog has their own special personality, that’s what I love about them! I’m a very trustworthy and genuine person who you can always count on. I go to school full time but I have frequent breaks between classes that allow me time to drive around. I work weekends at a breakfast restaurant so I have my afternoons and evenings free. I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and friends of friends for 10 years now. I have always dog sat at others homes instead of my own. I do not have a fenced in backyard so I always take my dogs for walks around the block to go potty. I like to keep the dogs as comfortable as possible in their own environment and stick to whatever routine they have.

About: I’m comfortable with cats & dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My guy is a wonderful handful so I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—not just feeding them and letting them out..but giving them attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of love. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Just like I would do for my own I am currently working 9–6 Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, so Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday are the days I have the most flexibility for you and your furry ones. These are the days I can dedicate the most time and attention to your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around their individual needs. I work until 6pm so night time can be available if needed. I have a dog named BlackJack who is blast and high energy, so I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and videos (if you would like) so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing!

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m dependable, active, will always provide playtime, feeding, check ins, and plenty of attention. I also live to go on walks myself so they will definitely get to be outside and get their energy out! I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure owners receive updates while their pets are in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can make pet care fit easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I will always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll follow and accommodate to any instructions you provide. Including feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I’ll keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and send updates so you know they’re safe and well cared for.

“I am truly grateful that Cara took the time out to care for my two cane corsos (Skye and Shine). My girls enjoyed Cara’s company. She’s truly a blessing! We look forward to using Cara again!”

About: Hi my name is Shannon. I grew up with a Shih Tzu and have cared for dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances over the years, providing walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship while their owners were away. I have recent experience with both young dogs and senior dogs (including a 13-year-old), and I’m comfortable adjusting energy levels, pacing walks appropriately, and offering extra patience when needed. I’m attentive to instructions and respectful of each dog’s personality and routine. I’m happy to provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re gone. I currently have flexible availability and offer dog walking, drop-in visits for cats and dogs, and pet/house sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that means daytime walks, evening check-ins, or overnight care. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable support while you’re away. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred routines. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I prioritize safety at all times. I respect your home, keep spaces clean, and provide regular updates so you feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs and caring for my own. I'm very educated on pet Health and care. Dogs are a passion of mine and I love seeing different personalities and different breeds. I'm very responsible and take initiative to help train and learn the animal's behavior. I like to develop a relationship with each dog to gain trust and love as their caregiver. I can handle dogs of any size or breed!

About: I’m someone who truly believes pets are family. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and for the past four years I’ve had my own sweet girl by my side. She’s incredibly friendly and gets along with every dog—no matter their size, personality, or energy level. My love for dogs runs deep (honestly, I love them more than humans!), and I care for every pup as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, structure, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can feel confident knowing your fur baby will be treated with patience, affection, and genuine care—just like family. I work from home full-time, so your dog will never be left alone. I can take them out for walks 2–3 times a day, or more if they need it. I have a balcony for the dogs to enjoy and a spacious apartment with plenty of room to relax. If needed, I can also set up secure, fenced-off areas for extra safety.

About: I love all pets and can care for them as you request. They will have free range of the fenced in yard and house. 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. I have a fully fenced in yard with an electric gate. Always closed for 24 hour protection. I have a very friendly golden retriever for your pets company.

“Beth did a really nice job. She was able to provide me with reliable service and great communication. I have a very busy work schedule and rely on a dog walker. my daily dog walker had a family emergency and I was able to text Beth last minute and get some things set up.”
