Services

Gulfside provides drop-in style pet care in your home to allow your pets to remain in the comfort of their own environment. We do not have a boarding facility.

Our primary service area is west Fort Myers. Pet sitting may not be possible for dogs outside this region but may be available for once daily, flexibly timed visits for cats and other small animals in east FM, Estero, Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, and Cape Coral. Unable to service North Fort Myers, Captiva, Bonita Springs, or Naples.

We come to your home to meet you and your pets and to learn their routine. We will provide you with a copy of our Policies and set you up in our Client Portal so you can book future services and view journals from each visit.

Consultations require a $25 deposit which we credit back to your first visit, excluding last minute requests or rescheduling.

Two house keys must be provided. Key pickup at a future time will include a $15 fee with applicable distance and toll fees.

Drop-in visits are perfect for 1-2 dogs needing a quick potty break and for cats or other small animals requiring multiple feedings a day while you are away. This service option is a secondary add-on during vacations and does not include litter box or cage cleaning. Mealtime visits and walks for dogs, and single daily visits for cats and other pets must be booked with the Standard or Premium visit options. Yard time can be requested as a single visit outside of vacations.

Perfect for 1-2 dogs, kitties, birds, rodents, etc. This service includes dog walking or yard time, providing food and water, administering medications at no additional charge, scooping the litter box, play time, and much more! We will also collect your mail, water plants on request, take garbage/recycle in or out, and check for household issues.

We require at least 1 daily visit for cats and 3-4 visits per day for dogs during vacations.

This service option is best for households with 3 or more pets and pets with special needs. We recommend choosing this service option for at least one visit per day when you will be away for a long period. A longer visit allows for longer dog walks, more attention for your pet once our other duties are completed, and more time for a thorough home inspection.

Minimum of 1 daily visit for cats and 3-4 visits per day for dogs; can be combined with Standard or Drop-In visits.

Do your pets have anxiety or simply sleep better with the comfort of their human? We will stay with your pets for 9-10 hours overnight, beginning between 9:00-11:00pm. During this time, we provide our usual pet sitting services. Your pets will be fed and dogs let out before bed and first thing in the morning. 

Dogs require 1-2 additional daytime visits. Overnights available on a first come basis.

Home watch services are offered to seasonal pet care clients. If you hire Gulfside for pet sitting during the months you're in town and prefer to avoid the hassle of hiring and providing home access to a separate company or individual, we can provide weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly home checks when you're away for long periods.

We make trips to  your veterinarian, groomer, or local dog parks, depending on the number of pets and their size.

If you require assistance picking up pet food or other pet supplies, or if supplies run out during our pet sitting visits, we are happy to pick up and deliver supplies to your home at the standard travel fee in addition to the cost of the items purchased.

We do not offer moving services or out of town transport.
