Haley was extremely helpful for me while I was gone for a few days. She did a great job with my dog, Zoe. Even though Zoe can be a bit reactive and high energy, Haley handled her perfectly!

Jonathan was great with my dog and very attentive to her needs. I highly recommend him for anyone needing either pet sitting or a daily dog walker.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.

About: Hi my name is Lindsay! I am currently a University of Florida Undergraduate studying Health Science and Deaf and Hearing Sciences. I've looked after cats and dogs for family and friends, and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Since I am a student at the University of Florida, I have some flexible in my availability—most afternoons and evenings during the week, all day on Thursdays, and full availability on weekends. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care situation—whether in my home or yours. I'm experienced in walking dogs safely and making sure they get the right amount of exercise for their breed and energy level. I also understand how important playtime is—not just for physical activity, but for mental stimulation and happiness. I always ensure pets are in a secure, stress-free environment and treated with the same love and care I give my own.

About: I currently don't have much professional experience with pet sitting, but I do have experience with being around others' pets and taking care of my own. Most of my real experience comes from taking care of my family's Australian Shepherd since I was a kid. We have gone on regular walks, maintained routines, and had plenty of playtime together. I'm currently working part-time and a full-time student. However, I still have plenty of time on my schedule throughout the week. I'll be able for walks or check-ins any time Tuesday-Friday. For boarding, the only set time that I have would be Fridays, but my schedule is always fluctuating and other days could also work. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For boarding, I make sure to keep it as safe and comfortable for the pet while following their normal schedule. I also keep in mind the cleanliness of the house to ensure that it's kept as a pet-friendly space. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get their neurons active, and look for any possible things I need to clean up. For walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe and engaged. I take into account how your pet reacts with other pets (or how you like to deal with it) and adjust the pace based on how they react to their surroundings. I understand the importance of following instructions carefully, so I can also provide updates to keep you at ease!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and even an axolotl. I had a senior dog up until last year, so I am very familiar with caring for older dogs. I am also the designated cat sitter for my friend’s cat who is leash trained and loves going on walks! I am home for winter break until mid-January with absolutely no plans, so I am available most days and nights for dog walking, house sitting, etc.! I am highly communicative and trustworthy with numerous references. I care for your pets as if they are my own, and prioritize their safety and well-being.

About: I have an extensive background with all types of pets, even owning 15 types of big and small animals growing up myself. I’ve watched numerous breeds of dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends and I am dedicated to treating each pet with individuality tailored care. I have a flexible schedule as a part time barista and college student, and the earlier my notice is the more I can do for your furry friends. I make it my priority to check on my own furry friends as much as possible. Health is a top priority, but cuddles are always added if the pet permits them.

About: I have experience with large and small dogs, and also love cats! I grew up with a whole crew of animals including a German shepherd, a rat terrier, and many cats. I love going on walks, throwing a ball, or just relaxing with some animal company. As a recent graduate not originally from Florida, I miss being around animals all the time. I am a future agriculture teacher who is looking to kill some time this summer. During the summer I have a lot of availability, but with some random weeks that I will be out of state. My weeks I am unavailable include: May 17 - 21 June 12 - 20 July 25 - August 2 I do not have availability to care for client’s pets in my own home. I am familiar with crate training if necessary, and will care for your pets exactly how you want me to in your home!

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. Growing up in a dog-loving family, I’ve been around dogs my whole life and am comfortable handling different breeds and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced in basic training, medication administration, and maintaining routines to ensure a stress-free experience. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or playtime, I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. Your furry friend will be treated like family! I'm currently only a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule, making it easy to accommodate pet care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust to your pet’s routine. I live in an apartment community with plenty of grass areas for walking, and I also have my own fenced patio that would provide larger pets an area to sit outside and sun-bathe while remaining safe. I don't have any pets of my own to conflict with your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. In my care, pets are always supervised, and I ensure a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I follow pet parents' instructions closely, maintain open communication, and provide regular updates.

About: As a proud dog dad and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their fur babies while they’re away, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including check-ins, walks, playtime, treats, feeding, and plenty of companionship to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I also have a fenced backyard with space for pets to run around, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship to make sure pets stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also make time for regular exercise, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention so every pet gets the care they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure while away from home. I make sure pets are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and I keep my home pet-friendly and free of hazards. I also follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special precautions. My goal is to create a calm and loving atmosphere where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.

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! :)

About: Hi everyone! My name is Elise and I was raised in south Florida. Every since I was a little girl I have always loved animals and animals have always gravitated towards me. I am very capable of taking care of your dog! I have had dogs for my entire life and even bunnies, turtles, ferrets, horses, and monkeys. I drove my parents crazy (lol). My house is very clean as I have a cleaner every week. It's safe and fun and all doggies are loved equally! I send lots of pictures and video if requested to ease any concern or missing your furry friend. I have a Pomeranian-husky mix named Miesha who has a lot of energy. Your animal will never be left alone as I work/do school work from home!

About: I grew up surrounded by my pets, and when I came to the US for grad school I was at least relieved to know that they are with my family, in safe hands. They are 4 crazy dogs, ranging from seniors to young adults now. I miss them so much and will love spending time with your pets here, while also making some extra cash to send goodies to mine and my family. I will follow all your instructions and I'll love every second I get o spend with them. I cannot take them to my apartment at the moment, because my landlord doesn't allow pets, but I can go to your houses to take proper care of them as needed. Looking forward to hear from you and your amazing pets! I'm a PhD Student, working only on my research. My schedule is very flexible, and most of the times, I only need my computer to be able to work, which will allow me to work around your pets schedule. Unfortunately, the apartment where I live here doesn't allow pets, but I'm willing to go to their homes to feed them, play with them, take them out for walks, or anything as instructed by their owners.
