Susan has repeatedly cared for our dog Mossy in our home and brought her into her home for longer visits. She tends to Mossy's mastif needs with great care, including daily walks, her specific meal needs, giving oral medications, putting in her ear drops, and playtime with all of her many toys. She manages to keep Mossy calm when she gets anxiety from separation or storms. I would highly recommend her to any dog lover!

About: I have always had animals in my life my entire life. My first job was at a dog kennel as a kennel attendant. My family has even fostered animals and helped them find their forever homes. I currently work for the Humane Society. I am currently a part time college student, but I will have plenty of time with your fur babies. Willing to make yours and my schedule work. At the moment I am not accepting animals at my home, but I am willing to go to client's homes to care for their fur babies. Anywhere from letting them outside to play and go for walks to making sure they have food, water, and a clean bed to relax in.

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.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.

Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!

About: My two dogs are everything to me. Animals are truly a persons best friend, mine sure are. I would treat all of your babies like they’re my own. I just moved back to the area and I only work a couple nights a week so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! Animals shouldn’t have to spend a full day alone, I am available for walks, visits, and any loving attention needed for your pets while you work. My two dogs are spoiled. They are allowed on the furniture, they sleep in my bed, and I cook for them often so I can do whatever you need for your babies to make them feel comfortable, happy, and safe.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. My neighbors trusted me to watch their dogs as well. I now have 3 big dogs of my own! I can fall in love with any dog regardless of size or temper. In my eyes all dogs need the same amount of love! I am in between jobs at the moment but looking for a part time job as well as this. I also have a 6 month old baby and I am adapted to being a mother at the same time. I make sure they have their water bowls filled. Also will make sure to feed them based on what feeding schedule they are on at the time, and take them for walks daily. Also I’ll make sure they get enough love and affection while their owners are gone.

About: Truthfully, I have always taken to animals. The world is full of terrible things— but animals just simply aren’t one of them. When I was 14 I began rehabbing animals — and not just dogs (squirrels, raccoons, opossums, chinchillas, sugar gliders, etc) and my name was on the vet’s list so they called when they needed a fostering spot for them. I didn’t make money then, I just did it because if I didn’t, then who would’ve? I have a 2 year old now, and I can’t take on as many rehabbing projects, but we still very much enjoy the company of a full home with animals. They are loved on, treated with respect, and the goal is to make them excited for their next play date. I don’t have reviews yet, because I am just starting on this app! But I have, personally, saved over 15 animals at 23 years old, and it’s something that I’m proud of. I feel confident that your pet will be cared for with my family— as we will treat it like our own! There is nearly always a person in my household. Furthermore, I just treat the extra pet the same way I treat my puppy! Two is not really much more difficult then one… haha! I have a 6-foot privacy fence. I have a heavy-duty collar and leash for walks (this helps to engage the dogs and allow them to release energy). I have a fully metal barred large crate in case the dog requires some peace and quiet. I have a four by three foot dog bed with blankets for the pups to relax on. There is ALWAYS water down, and if I have to feed, then dogs eat separately— as I don’t ever put dogs in a situation where they feel they need to be defensive or on guard. Contrary to people’s belief, dogs don’t need toys. I have them, but I don’t keep them down because if two dogs are present and they go for the same one, it could cause an unintentional fight. I add this information not to scare, but to actually put pet owners at ease. I am extremely experienced when it comes to breeds of dogs—their needs, their desires, and what makes them unique! More importantly, I respect them, and put them in a respectful environment where they feel comfortable,

About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).
