Pet Sitting in Alachua

“Nina visited our cat daily while we were on vacation and she was great! Her check-ins were consistent, she sent us pictures every day and described how our cat was playing with her, eating, all the things to reassure us that he was happy and doing well. She also brought in the mail even though I forgot to ask for that. We will definitely book with her in the future.”

“Angel is always on time and great with Parker!”

“Maria was absolutely amazing with my pup!!! She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures during her visits, it was so clear how much she loves animals and I can’t wait to work with her again in the future. Any pet is in good hands with her!”

“Courtney was awesome with our 4 dogs! One of my dogs really takes a bit to warm up, and Courtney was wonderfully patient with her. She called us for hints and was very communicative throughout!”

“Danica was amazing! Our Eva was so happy and comfortable with her. She made extra effort to play with our girl and spend time with her! Danica sent the cutest photos and videos and updates. We feel very comfortable having her in our home while we are away! We are thrilled to have found such a caring, animal-loving, experienced caretaker for our girl! We will absolutely use Danica’s services again in the future and highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child and lived with pets my entire life. I have helped my friends dog sit through this app and decided to join myself! I live in a popular neighborhood area, within walking distance of local trails/park, and have a fenced in back yard where I currently live. I love taking my son on adventures and can't wait to bring your furry friends along with us for the ride! My most memorable experience with a dog was when I was a little girl and we just got two peekapoo pups, one was attached to me by the hip and ill never forget running around in my backyard playing and if any other person tried running or playing with him he would sit at my feet and just look at me like….”whats this person trying to do?”. My most memorable experience with a cat was when my cat Oliver decided to climb up a ladder that we had in the house while changing out light fixtures, he got too scared to climb down so I went up after him and while trying to lovingly pry him down he decided to use my face as a jumping pad to get down safely. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, after years of experience with different pets, working in a social work field, and becoming a mom, I'm no stranger to crazy, messy, energetic, chaotic situations. (CURRENT AVAILABILITY for dog walking/drop-ins - Friday (all day) and Saturday (night) House sitting weekday availability but only for short term (no more than 5 days) I currently work part time on weekends and am a full time stay at home mom for my first son. I also do school part time online so that does not interfere with my availability during the week. (HOUSE SITTING DETAILS - I do not spend the night at houses because I have a one year old son but I can house sit during the entire day and/or do periodic check ins through the entire day and night) I live in a cozy home with hard wood floors, a fenced back yard, and a pet friendly neighborhood where you can find people walking their pets daily. I also live within walking distance of outdoor trails and a local park. I care for your pet by providing love, attention, and complying with any rules/requirements you need for your furry friend. I love being outside and have lots of free time since my son is only a baby. I love getting exercise outside and enjoy taking walks along trails and in parks. I am open to offering services in my home to established clients only, I believe for your furry friends safety and my sons it’s best to have a strong relationship before bringing them in home. I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, and short term house sitting limited to weekdays.

“Samantha was prompt with attention to detail. She more than willingly scheduled a meet and greet with my pup who is leery of meeting new people. She took down instructions during the meet and greet. On the day of the visit, she arrived right on time. She made sure to give the dogs their medicines and if unable to do due to behaviors she made sure to communicate that. The house was locked back up and she made sure the gate was closed when she left. The girls were in good hands and I was very pleased with her services. I would definitely use again!”

“Giselle is incredible. Her love for animals is evident and I feel 100% confident and comfortable with having her at my home and with my fur babies. She is communicative and reliable. Highly highly highly recommend”

“Ryan was timely with his visits and took great care of my dog. Will rebook again in the future!”

“Absolutely amazing! I was so afraid to leave my babies in the hands of someone else while on vacation but she took the best of them and will definitely be booking again as needed ??”

“Karli is the most kind, caring, and patient person I know. She is responsible and has done great work with rescue animals. You can’t go wrong with this sitter”

“Chelsey is amazing! She has lots of experience with animals and is ver kind and accommodating with your schedule. We will always contact Chelsey for any sitting needs we may have!!”

“He is great, works hard, loves animals, probably a little more then he loves people lol, but he will treat your pet well and watch out for them and care for them as if they were his own! He is also very trustworthy, would trust him with the care of any animal!”

“They are great handling pets and know how to approach them carefully and calmly, they love to interact and get to know pets on an emotional and physical level.”

“Richard is the most caring and attentive pet sitter we have ever worked with. He thinks of all the little things, keeps us updated daily, and truly loves the animals he’s taking care of. We have worked with Richard twice so far. This last trip was almost two weeks. Knowing that he is taking good care of our girls (one house rabbit and one cat) is priceless. We have another appointment with him next month.”

About: I completed a Veterinary Assisting course back in high school and immediately fell in love with the idea of helping animals! With my passion to be Veterinarian and love for animals, my coworkers and family always entrust me to care for their dogs as if they are my own. I understand and completely believe that your dog and cat is not just a pet in your household and should be treated like a member of the family! I just moved to Florida and I am currently in between jobs and school. Outside of Volunteering at the animal shelter, my schedule is completely free to help take care of your animals needs! My experience has taught me how to examine dog and cat behavior to not only avoid injury on myself but the animal as well. I will be respectful, cautious, and caring to make sure the animal is comfortable around me and as little stressed as possible!

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.

Tiffany is an energetic, reliable, and intelligent young woman who graduated from the University of Florida with honors and is pursuing a career as a physician's assistant.”

“Lilly took exceptional care of my two dogs, and I could not have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. I hired Lilly to do drop-in visits for my two dogs 5 days a week while I was at work after my daughter moved out, as my work hours and commute are just too long for them to go all day without a bathroom break. Both dogs are senior, with some special needs. They bonded with Lilly very quickly, and she handled their particular quirks with ease. Lilly is extremely reliable, showed up on time without fail, with both dogs happy and content on my return. Lilly clearly really loves dogs, and dogs react to her in the way that animals do when they know they are with a “dog person”. I would highly recommend Lilly, which is high praise from someone who loves her dogs like I do!”

“I have known Laura for many years, especially in the capacity of pet care. She stayed at our house with our cats and dog while we were away on vacation. She loves our pets as if they were her own. Our dog, Rosie, has an exceptionally tight bond with her as she went out of the way to take her on car trips and worked on dog walking commands. Laura has unlimited experience with pets and animals of all kinds from her own dogs and cats, to farm animals such as horses, pigs, donkeys and goats. You can't find a better pet/house sitter out there!!”
