A very kind and reliable cat-sitter! I had to be out of the country for a week and Angelica took such great care of my two cats. She was very timely, and made sure to keep me updated with messages and photos each visit. She made sure my house was tidied up by the time I got back, too. My flight ended up getting delayed and she even helped me feed my cats the next morning free of charge, which was awfully sweet of her. I would trust her with my cats again and they definitely would, too!! :)

Sussanna gave our senior dogs wonderful care! She was very flexible with us when our schedule changed which gave us much needed relief. She sent photos and even offered to water our plants. She is delightful to work with and we will surely ask for her in the future. She must have done something right when our 12-½ yo girl let her rub her tummy. Big paw of approval!

Mona did such a wonderful job with our dog while we were gone. She wrote to us every day and sent pictures twice daily. She is positive, very reliable, professional and fun. We returned to a young dog who was calm, secure and well cared for after the longest stretch she had experienced away from her family ever. That is such a wonderful compliment to Mona's care and caring and we thank her so much.

Laura was amazing with my 3 dogs. I have a great dane and two puppies. This was her first drop in and she did amazing. She paid attention to detail, everything was cleaned prior to me coming home. When I came back home the puppies didn't have any spurs on them which is one of my big issues. I have already booked with her again! Thanks so much!!

About: We don’t deserve dogs! I’ve cared for my diabetic mastiff growing up and now my active coonhound from puppy to adult. I got you friend I work from home so my schedule is wide open for your pup. I’m available Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings for drop in walks. I have experience with crate trained and non-crate trained dogs and will respect your home routines to keep your dog safe, comfortable, while having fun.

About: I have two dog pups (M5, F3) that love to play, cuddle and sleep. We walk and play daily and have so much love to share with your fury babies. My pups are great with other dogs, although a initial meeting will be needed to ensure safety for all fur babies involved. During the work week, I work full time away from home, but can be flexible on Fridays for those extended weekends. I have full weekends available to provide a loving home for your fury babies. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, and live in a quiet safe neighborhood that is great for walking. I have space for crates, if your pups require crate training. My dogs always have water, frequent potty breaks and access to food twice a day on a schedule.

About: Hey there, my name is Brianna but most people call me Booey. I own a home in the Springtree neighborhood in NW Gainesville. I live here with my husband and a pack of three pups: Koda, a 15 yr old miniature dachshund, Harper, a 4 yr old plott hound mix, and Lupe, a 1 yr old “Florida brown dog” until we get her embark results back! We enjoy long walks throughout the neighborhood and spending time outside in the yard (open in front/fenced in back). Koda is getting a bit confused with her age, she normally finds her preferred dog bed for a nap. Harper loves just about everything, especially food and playing in the backyard. Lupe is high energy and anxious with strangers, but she LOVES dogs and makes fast friends. They will be an excellent companions for your pup while you are away. This home is full of plenty of windows and natural light for your dog to enjoy. I take pup care very seriously and can assure you that they would be treated as if they were part of my own pack! I send at least 3 photo updates per day (morning, afternoon, and night) happy to send more/less on request. My husband and I are full-time PhD students. We often work from home unless we have an appointment on campus. This also means we are quite the night owls so never hesitate to reach out, no matter the time. We love all animals, but pups especially! We typically like to introduce new dogs to ours either in the front yard or in the back yard so that it is not too overwhelming for your pup. We have three dogs that are accustomed to being around lots of different dogs. Harper and Lupe especially love playing “host” and playing/cuddling as much as is accepted by your pup. We do not like to leave the dogs unattended so either myself or my husband will be home during the pup visit. If absolutely necessary that we both be out, we will separate the dogs for just-in-case safety reasons.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I was born and I take care of my moms, grandmas, and best friends dogs while they’re away! I’m currently working part time but I’m mostly available after 12pm. I’m in nursing school so Mondays I won’t be available until after 2 as I’m at the hospital but weekends are fully open! I cannot care for your pets at my house unfortunately at the moment. But at your house I would love to go on long walks with your dogs if you have them or hang out with any cats and of course feed and play with the animals!

About: I have over four years of experience in dog sitting, working with a wide range of breeds—from small companions to large dogs. As a proud owner of an 11-year-old Great Dane, I understand the unique needs and personalities of larger breeds. I am also a student currently pursuing a degree in Respiratory Therapy, and I bring the same level of dedication and responsibility to pet care as I do to my studies. Your pet's comfort and well-being are always my top priority. I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of availability during the week to focus on your pet and their needs. I'm very flexible with scheduling and always happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet's routine. Although I live in an apartment, I’m committed to ensuring your dog is happy and comfortable. I’m more than willing to take them on runs, light walks, or visit a nearby dog park to keep them active and engaged.

Bruny is AMAZING. I am so attached to my cat also knowing that he has cancer and Bruny gave me peace knowing Rory is ok when I went travelling for Spring Break. I didn't have to worry whether if he was OK because Bruny would always send me updates and pictures of how Rory was doing. When we had our meet-up, she showed her knowledge in taking care of Rory and making sure that everything is set and ready to go. SHE IS AMAZINGGGGG! I highly recommend you booking her. Her personality is the best and she genuinely cares about taking care of your pet. My boyfriend and I just also recently rescued a cat (staying at my BF place) and she donated bowls and food for her and it was the most sweetest thing ever. Seriously, you can't go wrong with booking Bruny! I would definitely book her again.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of all animals. I grew up with cats and dogs, I am a cat & dog foster, and still have a household full of animals. I am a single mom, so my 6 year old child will be with me for housesitting gigs. She has been around animals since she was born, as we have fostered her entire life (both cats & dogs), so she is familiar with how to behave around your fur babies and loves them all as much as I do. I am a massage therapist 20 hours/week and I am studying to take my boards (after finishing my masters program for acupuncture), so I am very flexible. I usually only work 6 hour shifts, so your babies won't be left alone for long stretches of time. . I will follow your guidelines to a "T". Your fur babies will receive all the love, cuddles, and attention you want and I will be sure to follow eating/walking schedules to make sure your fur babies stay happy and healthy while you are away. As a foster, I have handled pet emergencies and I am able to keep a clear head and communicate with your vet if necessary.

Booey is one of the best dog owners that I know! To her, dogs are part of the family and there isn’t anything that she wouldn’t do to provide the best care for them. She would love and care for every other dog just as much as her own. I 100% trust Booey with my dog and recommend her for anybody else looking for the same love and attention.
