“Cannot say enough good things about Lesly and Josh! They took such special care of my Lily. They were able to work with me and be flexible when I was stuck at work and couldn’t collect her right away. You can tell they truly care about the babies in their care ♥️”

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for 25+ years and cared for dozens of dogs of every size, age, and energy level. What I can handle: All breeds & mixes (5 lb to 120 lb) Puppies to seniors Medications (pills, insulin, eye/ear drops, fluids) Strong pullers, reactive dogs, anxious rescues Basic training reinforcement & manners Post-surgery care, mobility help, special diets Your dog gets walks, play, cuddles, and their exact routine—no shortcuts, no surprises. Daily photos and updates guaranteed. Big goofballs, velcro seniors, spicy adolescents—I love them all and they’re safe with me. 🐾 Pet care is my full-time focus, so my schedule is very flexible and built around what your pets needs. I’m available Monday through Friday, morning through evening, for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I can easily handle multiple visits per day, early-morning potty breaks, midday walks, dinner drop-ins, or staying over if you’re away. Weekends are a little more limited because I reserve them for overnight clients, drop-in's and occasional longer bookings, but I’m always happy to work with you if a weekend need pops up. Every pet and every home is different, so I customize everything based on your detailed instructions, your pet’s personality, and what they’re used to. You can expect for daily visit are potty breaks, walks (if desired), play time, lots of cuddles and clean-up. Overnight stays will also include more of a routine for your pet and extra security for your home. All visits include real time updates.

“Although Puddin is 7 years old, this was her first time ever of being cared for in someone else’s home. We have always before had a house sitter in our absence. Nina went above and beyond expectations, picking up Puddin at my office once…and keeping her very late twice when I had after-work meetings. Her communication was excellent and Puddin was happy to see her each time. This was a good experience and I am grateful for how flexible and gracious Nina was for what was needed to make Puddin feel secure and my wife and I feel confident in Puddin’s care during a week when my wife needed to be away at a conference. Thank you, Nina!”

“Alexander was AWESOME. At the last minute he was able to dog sit my grand pup Dakota, when my daughter was not able to find care in Tallahassee. Finding trusting individuals to take care of your precious babies can be hard. Alexander sent us pictures and check in several times to keep us posted on her health progress.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, all kinds & sizes, since I was 13 years old! I look at pets as real children, I love them so much. I’ve had my 2 dogs for 2 years now, they’re too spoiled! I’m working part-time, only 2 days out of the week for 5 hours, so i’m available more often than not. I’ll have plenty time to play, love, and care for your baby &/or babies. (: I don’t have a fenced in yard but I keep all the pups on a leash and I put their safety before anything. I have 2 friendly pups but I could crate them if needed. Pets are very well taken care of in and outside of my home.

“Claudia was an amazing sitter for our Otto. She was knowledgeable, kind, and very patient. I was very anxious to leave our pup for the first time but she kept me updated and made me feel at ease. Would definitely book with her again!”

There is a potential they can stay in my home for short stays as well, which is in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.

About: ☀️ Summer Safety Advisory ☀️ Due to Florida’s extreme heat and humidity, dogs are at serious risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke in as little as 10–15 minutes of exertion during peak sun hours. Because of this, all walks during late spring through early fall may be shortened or adjusted for safety and replaced with enrichment-based activities, shaded sniff time, or indoor play when appropriate. Your dog’s health and comfort always come first. 🐾 Pet Care Experience I provide thoughtful, enrichment-focused care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is not just to “get through” a visit, but to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a background in wildlife sanctuary rehabilitation and have served as an adoptions director, which means I’ve worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications ( just not injections), managing multi-pet households, and supporting shy, anxious, senior, or special-needs pets. My approach to pet care is informed by ongoing education in dog behavior, body language, and force-free, reward-based training. I pay close attention to stress signals, pacing, and environment, and I adjust each visit accordingly. Whether your dog needs structured activity, calm companionship, or space to decompress, I aim to meet them where they are. 🦴 Bonus Enrichment Option I also manage one of Gainesville’s top-rated private Sniffspots, The Zoomie Zone, located in Midtown. This fully private, reservation-only yard is ideal for dogs who benefit from off-leash play without the pressure of public dog parks. Many clients choose to incorporate Sniffspot visits into walks or drop-ins as a way to provide safe zoomies, sniff-based enrichment, or low-distraction decompression time. If you’re interested in adding a Sniffspot visit to your booking, feel free to ask. Returning clients can also receive discount codes for independent bookings. Whether we’re heading out for a structured walk, enjoying shaded sniff time, or keeping things low-key indoors, I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care you can trust. 🗓️ Schedule and Booking Process To make sure every booking is safe, smooth, and a good fit, I require a free 15 minute meet and greet for all new clients. This takes place at the location where care will happen and helps ensure your pet’s comfort, safety, and compatibility with my services. -Exceptions Cats and puppies under 5 months do not require a meet and greet -Returning clients can fast track bookings Please schedule your meet and greet at least 72 hours before your first requested booking so we have time to coordinate properly. After your initial meet and greet, you are all set for future bookings. If you move to a new home or apartment, you are welcome to schedule another meet and greet so I can learn the new setup. 🚶‍♀️ Dog Walks and Drop Ins I batch dog walks and cat drop in visits into efficient routes using flexible time windows. This allows me to reduce travel time while still providing thoughtful, attentive care. Dog care windows Standard visits typically occur between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM Morning visits may begin as early as 8:00 AM Evening visits are available for dogs who need extra flexibility Cat care Preferred visit window is 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM If medications or strict timing are required, I adjust visits to meet those needs Dogs are typically prioritized earlier in the day due to restroom needs, but all pets receive the same level of care and attention. 🐾 Premium Boarding Boarding is a high end, in home service designed for clients who want a fully hands off experience. At this time, boarding is available only to dogs who already have an established walk or drop in routine with me. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable with my home, routine, and resident pets. While boarding with me, your dog will -Live in home as part of the household -Be the only boarding guest, receiving one on one attention -Receive daily enrichment and engagement -Enjoy supervised access to my private Sniffspot for play, sniffing, and decompression -Enrichment may include -Food puzzles such as West Paw Toppl meals -Nature walks or hikes in San Felasco, weather permitting -Field trips to quiet recreational fields when no other animals are present -Most dogs return home happy, fulfilled, and ready to nap. 🚨 Behavior Expectations and Safety The safety of my personal pets is a top priority. Dogs boarding with me must be comfortable around cats and respectful toward my personal dog. If a dog shows aggression toward any resident pets, boarding may be ended immediately. In these cases, care will be converted to drop in visits at your home for feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. 🚗 Premium Pick Up and Drop Off For added convenience, I offer a luxury pet transport add on. I can personally pick up and drop off your dog along my daily walking route No handoffs needed, simply leave your dog at home This service is priced to reflect the time, travel, and personalized care involved ⛔ Important Booking Policies -One free meet and greet is included for new clients -Additional meet ups should be booked as a walk or drop in to cover time and travel -All pets must be listed on your Rover profile prior to booking -You have 48 hours after the meet and greet to confirm your booking before the time slot may be released -House Sitting and Drop In services follow a 7 day cancellation policy If you have questions or special circumstances, I’m always happy to talk things through. In my home, pets and plants are family, and every animal in my care is treated with the same level of respect and attention. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. Some thrive on companionship, others prefer play, structure, or quiet encouragement. My goal is to be a steady, calm presence your pet can rely on while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or hosting them for a field trip at The Zoomie Zone, I focus on creating a safe, enriching, and low stress environment that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing. During each visit, you’ll receive a detailed update through the Rover Card, including notes on meals, potty breaks, mood, and anything noteworthy from our time together. Occasionally, if your pet gives me a particularly great moment, I may also send a favorite edited photo directly. Unless something truly needs your attention, I won’t interrupt your vacation, work trip, or conference. I aim to be both your pet’s advocate and your peace of mind while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority for both your pet and myself. If a pet displays aggression, severe anxiety, or behavior that creates an unsafe situation, I will still ensure their basic needs are met, including food, water, and potty breaks. However, I may shorten a visit to avoid escalating stress. This policy is in place out of care and caution for everyone involved. 🛏️ Crate and Confinement Requirement for Boarding For boarding stays, dogs must be comfortable with crate use or confinement behind a baby gate or similar barrier. This is a non-negotiable requirement. At night and during times when dogs are not being actively supervised, boarding dogs are safely confined. This allows my personal pets appropriate rest and space, and ensures all dogs remain safe when I am asleep or briefly out of the house. Crates or gated areas are used as calm, neutral spaces rather than punishment. If your dog typically uses a crate, pen, or gated area at home, please let me know their routine so I can keep things as familiar and low stress as possible. If a dog is not currently comfortable with any form of safe confinement, boarding may not be the right fit at this time. I’m always happy to discuss alternatives or help determine whether a gradual transition would be appropriate.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, growing up with them and caring for many others in my neighborhood. From walking and feeding them to giving medicine, I've always been the go-to person for pet care. When I went away to the Army, I got my first dog, which deepened my love and understanding of animal care. Since then, I’ve continued to help watch and care for dogs, including looking after my sister’s dogs whenever she’s away on business. With my lifelong experience and love for animals, I’m dedicated to ensuring every dog I care for feels safe, loved, and well-looked after. I am a college student taking mostly online classes. I have a lot of free time throughout the day to check on your beloved pets! In my home, I have a crate and a large, unfenced backyard for playtime. I have plenty of dog toys to keep them entertained, and they’re always welcome on my furniture for cuddles and relaxation. While in your home, I’ll follow all of your rules to ensure your pet feels as comfortable and happy as possible, just like they would with you.

“Brenda and her family provide exactly what I was hoping for. Instead of being home all day by herself, my dog is taken care of by kind dog lovers. She also gets to socialize with another small dog. I can tell my dog enjoys being there. She runs right up to Brenda to greet her when we arrive. And when I pick her up, she is not desperate to leave. Highly recommend.”

Here, your dog will enjoy one-on-one interaction, cuddle time, and supervised yard play (weather permitting). We live in a quiet neighborhood on a full acre of land—about 75% of which is fenced backyard space—giving your pup plenty of room to roam and breathe in the fresh country air.

Let me know if you have special requests, routines, or preferences—we’re happy to accommodate. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priority. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, love, and supervision. Whether it’s feeding and playing with my own dogs, letting the chickens out in the morning, or tending to the yard, my routine revolves around creating a calm, safe, and happy environment for all animals in my care. I’m used to handling everything from early potty breaks to quiet cuddle time and even medication when needed.

Creating them is for their safety and the safety of the other fur babies. Our yard is fenced and ready for fur babies to play (weather permitting).
