Pet Boarding Alachua

“Celeste was amazing! My girl, Ella, is recovering from surgery & Celeste made her feel right at home! She was very detailed, communicated well with how Ella was doing, and was super helpful and caring when Ella wasn’t feeling well one night. I’m so appreciative of her!”

“Kelly & her daughter went above & beyond with Maddie and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found them. Kelly kept me updated with pictures and texts throughout Maddie’s stay. I have kenneled Maddie while away from the house for years because of her destructive puppy days and during her stay, Kelly gave her the trust I’ve been so scared of granting Maddie again”

“I just cannot overstate how please I was leaving Gee, our dog, with Chari. This was the first time we used Rover. It could not had gone better. Chari helped us before the visit to calm our concerns. Gee immediately felt at home when he was cheerfully greeted. Everything went so smoothly. Great Host. Great home. Happy dog. THANK YOU!!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience in raising a litter of five Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies from the day they were born until they matured into vibrant two-year-old dogs. This journey has equipped me with the patience and knowledge to handle the energetic needs of puppies, the nuances of breed-specific care, and the compassion required for the tender care of senior pets. Specializing in early developmental training and fostering socialization skills, I also have a keen sense for the unique needs of senior dogs, providing them with the gentle attention and specialized care they require. With a decade of dedicated experience, I am not just a sitter—I am a committed caretaker who will ensure your pet's health, happiness, and well-being. As a full-time college student attending all classes online, I have the unique advantage of being present around the clock for any furry companion in my care. This constant companionship ensures that your pet will receive uninterrupted attention and engagement throughout their stay. In my pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated recreation space, I ensure a secure and engaging environment for pets. Frequent, tailored walks are part of the routine to keep the dogs active and content. In any setting, I focus on maintaining the pet's routine for their comfort and providing owners with regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I have had animals my whole life that I have cared for, have had plenty family and friends rely on me to take care of their fur babies, and have worked as a Vet tech for a total of 1.5 years. I work from home so I am typically always available to provide care. I also go to the gym 5 days a week which dogs are allowed at my gym, I bring my dogs there every time. I also bring my dogs to the dog park every Sunday. I live in a 2 story townhouse. I have a friendly pitbull and hound mix that are dog friendly. I also have a 2 year old cat that loves dogs, very friendly, and loves to cuddle up to my pup all the time. I am a very clean person so I keep my house tidied up and I will do the same with my client's home. I would vacuum, clean up any messes, pick up poop and scoop the litter box.

“Kaya was so sweet and caring for my dog! She was very easy to contact and very flexible as well! Highly recommend!!”

“Alexys and Kevin were great with my dog. He came home happy and clearly cared for. Folks should know that the boarding dogs are kept in a separate building from the main house but are accompanied all day and watched by camera at night. That worked fine for my dog who can be ambivalent about being near people at all times. We’re planning to board with Alexys again.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I want to help you with whatever you need, and make things easier and comfortable. I am able to follow specific instructions, and do whatever is needed to welcome the pet into my home or at make them comfortable at yours. I am currently looking for work opportunities, so I am home often/most of the day, so I will be able to play and hang with your animals for a bit, or be with them often if they are at mine. I take care of my animals everyday so it is not a big deal to add an extra. I have a fenced in back yard to let the dogs run free and three dogs and a cat at home. They will have at least one play partner to hang with them (the other two are a bit more reserved, but are good with others) or if you would like them separated, that is also okay. I am also able to walk the dogs if they need more exercise than just running around. I am willing to come to you if that is preferred and let your pets out or walk them. I do have a spare cage that can be used for your pet if you forget yours.

“Crystal made our entire experience easy and enjoyable. This was our first time ever leaving our “big girls” with someone other than family. From before drop off to everything in between drop off and pick up, Crystal had great communication and it showed she really cared for our girls. We received morning and evening check in texts to let us know how the girls were doing. She even included some pictures to show us how they were doing. I cannot say enough good things about Crystal and her care for our girls. We will definitely use her services again!!”

“Our Black Lab is a little skittish around other dogs so when Brooke said she babysits other dogs were we apprehensive.well...our apprehensions vanished when we met Brooke and her own dog! Duke loved her and the huge yard. He stayed there a week while we were on a cruise and almost daily we sent emails and photos back and forth to each other. Duke seemed at home and we feel very confident he had a great time. We will definitely use Brooke again. She is a kind dog loving sitter and it showed!”

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Alexis. My first experience caring for pets was a little unorthodox being that my first pet was a chicken. But since then I've owned and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, goats, horses, snakes, and lizards. I am absolutely certain that your pet would feel at home with me. I am comfortable medicating, orally and giving injections. I have spent time in the veterinary field so I am well versed with medications and other basic treatments. I am available when you need me and I would love to be your pet's new best friend! Meet and greets are encouraged but not necessary. I work full-time but am available for drop in visits or walks before 7:30 am or after 5:30 pm Monday through Friday or any time on weekends. For any other times/requests, please feel free to send me a message and I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet. I meet your pets on the floor, at their level, so they can build trust with me. For safety, I ensure all pets have a collar or harness with an ID tag in the event of an emergency while walking. I am very cautious to make sure all pets are on a leash and keep their distance from other dogs while walking. All pets will be fed and watered and cared for as if they were my own.

“Valentina went above and beyond. Daily updates, asked really good questions, and sent pictures every day. Will gladly book again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I spent 6 years at PetSmart caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals, 2 years working at k9’s for warriors. Working with service animals, administering meds, caring for sick/disabled dogs. I’ve also volunteered with local shelters and at Grace Haven Homestead, where I cared for animals ranging from farm dogs and donkeys to foxes. I’ve been around all kinds of animals and personalities, and I love getting to know each one. My goal is simple: to give your pets a safe, cozy place where they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom who homeschools my two boys, so we spend most of our days at home. Pet care fits naturally into our routine because I’m already here throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and company while we go about our normal day. Including any special needs they may need. My kids also love animals, and have been around many to know how to respect them. So having pets around feels like a fun addition to our home rather than a job I’m trying to fit in. I will be the sole caretaker of your animal(s) when here. Caring for pets in my home will depend on if your furry friend is good with kids under 5. My boys are very respectful of dogs and will not bother them. But there will be running, yelling, jumping, playing. Know if your dog is good around kids. We have an acre fenced in yard, plenty of space to run contained. Lots of tree coverage on hot days. Cozy beanbag bed for dogs. We’ll make them feel like family! We have a valley bulldog, cat, and bearded dragon! We love all animals. We look forward to meet yours. Smoke free home. I will be the sole caretaker when your animal(s) are here, the kids will just add love comfort, and fun if they want it!

About: I have taken care of a multitude of breeds and animals throughout my life. Growing up I had a teacup poodle named Clara Bow. I later had an english bulldog named Lulu. During my years in high school through present time, my family dogs include a Dalmatian, a Cavalier King Charles, and a new addition Toy Poodle. Dog walking and caring has been a task I have enjoyed and attended to since I was only a child. I have experience with pitbull breeds, as well as older dogs who may need medicine administered, diapers, etc. I look forward to taking amazing care of your cute pups! I am a college student so my schedule is different depending on the season. I bounce around between Fort Lauderdale, Gainesville, and Ocala, Florida. I work part time and have availability for walking, sitting, drop ins, etc on most days of the week. I currently own a cat of my own and she will be a year old in October. No matter which location I am in, my home is filled with comfort, cleanliness, and calm. In Fort Lauderdale there are the two dogs I mentioned, my family dalmation and cavalier king charles. My cat comes wherever I go, but when tending to services in Ocala and Gainesville it is just my one cat in the home.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also taken care of many of my friends’ pets! I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m caring, patient, and responsible, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a college student, but my schedule is really flexible! I only have one hour of class on Mondays, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets, take them on walks, play with them, and give them lots of attention! I’ll make sure your pets are always comfortable, safe, and well taken care of! I’ll follow their usual routines, make sure they have everything they need, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away!

About: My entire life I’ve lived and cared for dogs in all shapes in sizes. From stubby Corgis to big, fluffy Bernese mountain dogs, or my wonderful pack of Australian cattle dogs back home. I was the one largely responsible for the care of my family’s elderly Berner, Diogi (pronounced D-O-G) in his final years of life. I’ve fostered and raised several new born puppies of varying temperament and seen them off to loving families, but I’m most proud of the unbreakable bond I’ve formed with who I would call my “soul-dog”, Winnie, my red Australian cattle dog whom I love more dearly than anything. Unfortunately she had to stay behind when I moved to Gainesville for college, but I get to see her often enough. I work on the side in retail as well as attend school full time. Despite this, my schedule is flexible and I have days throughout the week I am 100% free for anything. My regular school days see me out before 1PM. When I do work, I typically go in early afternoon (~2PM) and leave around 8-10PM. I live in an apartment complex which has several grassy areas to use the bathroom and get some sniffs in.. Nearby there are several nature trails as well as quite a few dog parks within walking distance. I do own a car which I am willing to use to drive to other locations for longer walks/new environments.

“Arielle did a great job. She kept us updated with pics. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I've had pets since I was very young, however I started understanding them and gaining a passion around the age of 12. I have experience with different breeds, from Chiweenies to German Shepherds, also cats! I can confidently track their fecal, give most medication, and even groom your fur babies. I have worked in a kennel for working dogs and an animal shelter. I work remotely but have a set schedule. This gives me plenty of time to walk and love all sorts of animals! I don't do anything once it's dark outside for safety reasons so currently 8:30pm is my limit. My main care will be walking/exercising dogs for at least 30 minutes, however I am also willing to groom (depending on what specifically), feed, and give certain medications.

“Veronica was amazing 🤩, very sweet and kind.Always sending photos and updates of Charlie. Definitely will recommend her!!!! Thanks Veronica , we’ll see you soon!”
