About: Hi! My name is Sam. I am passionate and attentive. I accept crate and non-crate trained dogs. I have a flexible schedule! I accept cats! I'm home full-time. I can give your pet all the attention they require in my care. My routine can be flexible to fit their daily schedule. I will send morning updates on how their night went. I love taking pictures of your pet to share with you! I am reliable in their care at my home and yours.

Berkley is amazing! She is patient and allowed my little girl to warm up to her and gain trust. Berkley also responds quickly to any questions and has made me feel comfortable entrusting my little toy poodle with her.

Angela is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very thorough and really cares about your pets. We had a gas leak from a burner when she came to check on my dogs and she took care of them and our apartment. She even checked in on us the next day to make sure everyone was ok. Overall very happy to have someone who is caring and responsible looking after our pets!!

About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly love all breeds and personalities. Your dog will feel safe, loved, and well cared for every visit. I offer walks tailored to your dog’s needs—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn energy. I’m also experienced with administering both oral and topical medications. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens, turtles/tortoises, and hamsters—so you can feel confident all your pets are in good hands. I am at stay at home mama with time to spare. My son is in school for 6.5 hours so I’m all yours. Even after school I’m available just with a sidekick. I keep dogs on a short leash. If you don’t have a fenced in yard no worries we shall secure the neighborhood instead. At my home we have a fenced in yard to keep my dogs safe and secure

About: Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I tailor my care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've worked with a variety of breeds including Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, and rescue dogs. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or specialized attention, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I've worked with Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, rescues, and more. I love going on walks while listening to music or audiobooks, so adding a friendly dog companion is never a hassle! Whether your pup wants to stop and smell every smell or needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm also available for drop-in visits to check on your pet, let them out in the backyard, or provide midday company. For cat parents: I understand that cats need patience and respect. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, including seniors requiring medication like steroid treatments every other day. I always let cats come to me on their own time—no forced cuddles, just calm, reliable care. Unfortunately, I'm not offering boarding at my home right now, but I'm happy to provide walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your place! Since I'm currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the client's home, I focus on making your pet feel comfortable and keeping their normal routine. For dogs: I follow your feeding schedule, take them on walks that match their energy level (whether that's a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a brisk energy-burner), and provide plenty of playtime and attention. I'm happy to let them out in the backyard for potty breaks and will stick to any special instructions you have. For cats: I respect their independence and let them approach me on their own timeline. I'll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and medication if needed. I'm experienced giving treatments like steroids to senior cats. General care: I'll send you photos and updates so you know your pet is doing well. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust blinds to keep your home looking lived-in while you're away. My goal is to provide stress-free care so your pet stays happy and comfortable in their own environment, and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

Tiffany was amazing with our two babies. They are elderly and not overly social. She took the time to earn their trust and sent great pics and videos documenting her time with them and their happiness.

About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.

About: What Pet Parents Can Expect Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 35 years of experience caring for pets of all kind, from pampered pups to quirky cats, bunnies, and everything in between. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting care, they’re getting love, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I specialize in senior pets, special needs animals, and those who just need a little extra TLC. Whether your fur baby is shy, spunky, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. You can expect: Regular updates with cute photos and notes A calm, nurturing environment A clean, safe space for play and rest Patience, reliability, and tons of love Experience with administering meds and handling special diets Think of me as your pet’s favorite extended family member, the one they’re always excited to see! Hope to meet your dog(s), cat(s), horse(s), etc soon! :) Pet care isn’t just part of my day. It is my day. From sunrise snuggles to sunset strolls, my entire routine revolves around the animals I care for. Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home. The care I provide is 100% customized to whatever that pet's parents do as a routine with them. My goal is to make their stay with me as close to what they are used to as possible.

About: Hello, my name is Olivia. I am a 26 year old who has a passion for taking care of animals. I have one dog, her name is Ella. Ella is a medium sized mixed breed. I have been around animals for my entire life, mostly medium to large sized dogs. I’ve also cared for an abundance of cats, hamsters, fish, etc. I have always had a soft spot for helping out those who needed a sitter for their dog, whether it was for 2 hours or even a week! I am working part time in Ocala, but would enjoy the opportunity to help out in my off time. I would love to have the opportunity to grow my reputation as a dog sitter in the community, while doing what I love the absolute most!! I currently work full time throughout the week, but I am able and willing to work around my schedule to help those in need :) I treat every home I enter like it is my own. I am very respectful of others’ spaces and property, as well as their fur babies.
