Dog Walking Alachua

About: I currently own an Australian Shepherd, so i understand the importance of activities and mental stimulation a dog needs to be happy, calm, and healthy. Im currently almost always available, which means ill be able to help out as much as possible when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I am used to crate training which is needed for my dog when we run errands, as well as making a safe and fun environment for animals so they don't get bored and start being naughty and mischievous.

About: I have been a veterinary technician/nurse for the past 13 years. My whole life is dedicated to animals and providing them compassionate care. I have worked in a general practice for the last 13 years working with companion animals (cats and dogs) but I have grown up with birds, ferrets, fish, turtles and hamsters. I also have a degree in agriculture and have cared for livestock. I truly love all animals and will always take care of each individual pet as if they were my own. I have a team of veterinary professionals that I can reach out to if there was ever an animal emergency or guidance needed. My goal is to make sure that while the pet parent is away, their loved ones are well cared for! Pet care is a daily staple for me: my job is very flexible and I am able to move my job around to tend to the needs of the pets I am caring for. Whether that’s me coming home on a regular basis or stopping by your home to a similar routine of your own. My goal is to achieve the same routine you would have while you’re home to give your loved ones the stable routine they’re used too! In home: I have property where I can take the dogs out on long walks and can play with them with a great deal of space. They will always have access to water and will feed them according to their set schedules. I have space for crates if your pets do better crated while inside and if I’m away. They will be smothered with cuddles and treats if I’m able to. Clients Home: I will make sure to adhere to the routine you have already established at home, whether that’s long walks or playing in the backyard. Stick to the feeding schedule and ensure they are stress free while you’re away.

About: Growing up, my family has always had pets, everything from dogs and cats to geckos and tortoises. I have always loved animals, and providing attentive and reliable care for them. I am also a certified Therapy Dog Handler and volunteer to provide those services around town, as well as volunteer with the local Humane Society. With over 25 years of experience in pet sitting, dog boarding, and pet rescue, you can feel confident that your pet’s needs are in good hands. My schedule is flexible as I mostly work from home, so I can cater to your pet’s needs for drop in visits and dog walking. I am comfortable with whatever animal care is needed, including feeding, walking, litter, medications, and providing lots of play, cuddles, and pets! Please let me know what you need during drop in visits and I will be sure to accommodate with attention to detail.

“Had a great experience with Jinghan she is incredibly attentive and communication was perfect. She was available for a meet and greet to go over details. She was very sweet with Sushi and was very understanding when we had problems with our entry code. Would absolutely rebook and recommend.”

About: I’ve work with dogs and other animals for the last 8 years. From puppies to seniors and everything in between. I’ve also helped train a few service dogs and actively show and compete in sports with my own dog. My life is centered around my dog and I work from home. I can be extremely flexible to fit almost any need or rigorous schedule. I have an apartment by myself, with my 1 dog, with nice trails and fenced in areas to let pets play off leash. I also have different enrichment toys and other exercises for physical and mental stimulation.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and even an axolotl. I had a senior dog up until last year, so I am very familiar with caring for older dogs. I am also the designated cat sitter for my friend’s cat who is leash trained and loves going on walks! I am home for winter break until mid-January with absolutely no plans, so I am available most days and nights for dog walking, house sitting, etc.! I am highly communicative and trustworthy with numerous references. I care for your pets as if they are my own, and prioritize their safety and well-being.

About: I have been dog sitting on Rover for the past ten years and have loved it always. I give pet owners updates 2-3 times a day with pictures or videos of your pet so you dont have to worry about them when you’re away. I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! I live right across from a huge fenced-in dog park which we can explore anytime. We can run around all day, and when we're all tired, we can lounge on the couch and relax. I take daily walks, which your pet is welcome to join. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading every day so other than a few hours throughout the day, I am on site I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me

About: I have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned many pets and truly love spending time with animals! I am a current University of Florida student. I have 1-3 classes per day no longer than 3 consecutive hours, so I can fit in pet care nearly anytime during the week or weekends. I have a German Shepherd, Siamese cat, and bearded dragon at home. I have also owned rabbits, fish, and turtles so I have experience with all types of care. I prioritize loving and engaging activities like walking or playing!

“Alfonsina was fantastic with Brooklyn and Zero, my two Havanese pups. She was on time, courteous and professional. I highly recommend her for your dog walking or pet sitting needs.”

About: Ive been taking care of animals most of my life and have had many animal companions over the years. I have experience with both cats and dogs, as well as fish and some reptiles. I'm currently searching for a new job, and available to take care of your pets most days. Im flexible and can work within your schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure their daily needs are met, including feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship. I follow any specific instructions for health or behavior, and I keep the environment clean and safe. Regular updates and open communication with the pet owner are key to maintaining trust and ensuring the pet’s well-being.

About: Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. I have experience caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I have no problem waking up very early or stopping by very late and any time in between. My work schedule is very flexible allowing me to take long uninterrupted breaks throughout the day whenever I need to. Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some pets try to run out every chance they get or some are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.

About: Highland Canine-certified Master Dog Trainer providing walks and drop-in visits with the same judgment, attention, and follow-through I bring to training. My background includes Highland Canine’s six-month Master Dog Trainer program and 960+ hands-on hours across obedience, behavior analysis, public access, service dog work, search and rescue, and more. That experience carries directly into pet care. I know how to read body language early, notice stress before it escalates, and adjust to the dog in front of me instead of handling every visit the same way. I’m comfortable with puppies, adolescents, adult dogs, seniors, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs that have made every walk feel harder than it should. I pay attention to routine, pace, safety, weather, hydration, energy level, and the small details that tell you how your dog is actually doing that day. Your dog is not just another stop on my schedule. They are someone’s whole world, and I treat them like it. You can expect real care, real photos, and a genuine update after every visit, because you should know more than the fact that I showed up. My goal is to get the visit right, not just get it done. My walks and drop-ins run alongside my training work, so I keep my availability intentional and limited enough to give each dog consistent handling and real attention. I’m typically available on weekday mornings and afternoons, with limited Saturday availability, and I do my best to keep pets on a steady routine whenever possible. I’m careful not to overbook, which means the dogs I take on get the same thoughtful care and follow-through each time I show up. I care for pets in their own home and follow their routine as closely as possible, because that is usually what helps them feel most settled. I pay attention to the details that matter: doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, weather, water, and how your dog handles people, other dogs, and changes in the environment. I’m comfortable with dogs that need more thoughtful handling, and I take both your dog’s safety and your peace of mind seriously. After each visit, you’ll get a real update so you know how things went and can feel confident your dog was in good hands.
