Sam was so professional and sweet. She played with my pups and took them potty several times. She even cleaned before leaving my house. I will definitely be booking with her again. The dogs loved her, they told me so.

About: Connecting with animals at a young age, I am a natural at handling their needs as well as seeing when something is wrong. Having had an array of animals to care for for over 30 years, I have alot of experience and am well equipped to handle problems, should they arise. I have been lucky enough to care for many breeds of dogs and cats as well as countless other animals. Our 10 acre farm is completely fenced in with ample space to run and is home to 2 dogs and other farm animals. Here at Emerald Oak Ranch, our family strives to take the very best care of every animal we come into contact with. Book your animal today for a fun, peaceful farm-cation! Animal care comes first here at Emerald Oak Ranch! Whether it’s waking up early to feed or even checks during the night, we make sure all animals here are well taken care of and cared for. Our property is fully fenced, and two dogs are onsite as well as farm animals. Depending on your pets needs, they will have some friendly buddies or we can keep them separate. If you just need a quick house call or walk for your pets, I will carefully follow your instructions to make your animals as comfortable as possible! It is my priority to make sure your pets are safe and taken care of at all times.

Kim is absolutely wonderful as a cat sitter. She watched over our 2 cats while were gone and played with them and took care of their needs. I honestly recommend Kim as an honest and loving cat sitter.

Ashley did a wonderful job watching my two fur babies! I loved receiving the update cards and photos and it gave me peace of mind to know someone as responsible and kind as Ashley was watching out for them in the comfort of their own home. Will definitely be calling again!

Kathryn did a wonderful job as usual, and was so gracious about a few accidents and nips, I can tell how much Fuji loves her by how she keeps greeting her at the door :) She's also very responsive, and a great cat photographer too! Will definitely rehire for any future check-ins, thank you Kathryn!

Emily is the best ever!! I was out of town for a week and she came every day to see my two cats and she did so much for me! She fed them, played with them and helped with the litter and washing their food bowls. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She texts back right away if you need her and she will give your pets tons of attention. She is awesome!!

As a business owner in the boarding and dog industry myself, trusting someone to stay in my home and care for my dogs was a huge deal for me — especially since our dogs have quite a few senior and special-care needs. Jonathan absolutely exceeded every expectation. We are definitely “those” pet owners with a million instructions wanting everything done just right, and he handled all of it with patience, kindness, and professionalism. His communication was incredible. Any time I reached out, he responded within minutes, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s very rare to find people you genuinely trust with your home and your animals, but he made the entire experience stress-free. The dogs were well cared for, happy, and all of their special needs were accommodated without issue. Honestly, this experience changed things for us. For the first time, we actually feel like we can travel and enjoy vacations without worrying the entire time. We’re already planning our next trip knowing we have a person we can truly rely on. Highly, highly recommend Johnathan Absolute gems.

Richard went above and beyond with my two cats. His communication was top notch for the duration of my three weeks away. He took the time to ensure that even my reclusive cat was doing well and comfortable. By the end of my trip, both my boys were out playing and enjoying their time with Richard. I would strongly recommend Richard to anyone looking for help with pet care. It’s easy to see his passion and commitment to his work.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve fostered a variety of breeds from Great Danes to dachshunds and Rottweilers so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. For the past 6 months, I’ve also been helping with pet sitting and dog care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and providing a calm, consistent routine. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m based in Branford and commute to Gainesville for college, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the semester. That said, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate requests whenever possible. I’m typically available for care in both areas, including weekends and many weekdays, including holidays with a proper heads up, and I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I’m experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize secure environments, proper leash handling, and careful supervision. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Making friends with a rescue dog who became a tripod due to abuse is not an easy task, but Delia was up to the challenge! With the help of some treats, they made friends and we felt safe leaving Tigger in her care for our vacation. Communication/pictures were provided daily and he was well cared for in our absence. We will rebook with Delia.

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 every 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: Ive grown up with my pets my entire life from having 2 dogs, 3 cats, fish, and a snake I love all animals! I decided to join this app after helping my friends in college take care of pets they were watching through Rover and looking for extra side income after having my son roughly two years ago. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, I’m no stranger to the crazy energy of a pet (or toddler😂) and I can’t wait to meet your furry fam and be crazy with them too! I have experience with puppies, teenagers, and even senior dogs as well! I have availability right after I get off work at 1:15pm every day, until I have to pick my son up from daycare at 3pm. Monday-Friday I’m open and am free to walk in the Jonesville/Newberry/Gainesville area! :) I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, but I will consider other services if you are a previously established client, just message me with requests! :)

Dana was a great communicator and took good care of our cat while we were away on an extended vacation. Our cat can be particular and not the easiest, and she handled it with ease. Highly recommend!

Very grateful of having Samantha as pet sitter! I left for the Holidays and she took care of my baby while I was gone. So thankful because she said yes even though it was during Christmas season. I left happy and with peace of mind knowing that my baby was taken care of by her. Excellent communication, lots of pictures, updates and going for the extra mile by taking care of my plants also. 100% recommended. For sure I’ll keep contacting her to take care of my two babies eventually.
