About: Hi! I’m Megan, a soon to be second-year veterinary student at the University of Florida with a background in marine mammal care and veterinary medicine. I previously worked with the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program and currently work part-time in a veterinary clinic while pursuing my DVM degree. I’m passionate about animal health, behavior, and compassionate care. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotic animals, and I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring pets with special needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to every animal’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm reassuring presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! My schedule this summer is very flexible! As a veterinary student, my availability can vary week to week, but I have a lighter schedule over the summer and am available for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I’m happy to work with owners on routines, medication schedules, and travel plans, and I do my best to be accommodating with both weekday and weekend care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and animal care, I’m attentive to behavior changes, stress signals, medications, and overall wellbeing. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and respectful of each pet’s routine and environment. I strive to create a calm, low-stress experience so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means sticking closely to their normal routine, providing extra playtime and enrichment, or simply giving them quiet companionship, I tailor my care to each individual pet’s needs.

“Rachel is a life saver. We recently moved to Ocala and were in need of a dog sitter. She was fast to respond. Rachel took great care of our baby & sent a picture to let me know how she was doing. Brownie was very happy when we got home & she was in a great demeanor & not stressed in the least. We will definitely use Rachel’s services in the future. Thank you again so much !”

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've been a pet owner are caregiver for over 30 years. I am often contracted by family and friends for pet care and am wishing to expand my clientele/ I am currently exploring several avenues of freelance work, but my availability is still open, especially with notice. Theere are 6-8 weekends I will not be available, the most notable being Memorial and Labor Days weekends. I will have ample availability during Thanksgiving , Christmas and typical summer vavcation times. I will be happy to care for your pets in your home to reduce stress on your furbabies. I will be happy to provide play, petting, walking and pet related cleanup. I am confident at giving oral medication and subcutaneous injections due to past pet medical care.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, including having had cats, dogs, fish, and as a pet. I am familiar with caring for older animals that have lost the ability to fully care for themselves, caring for puppies or kittens, and pets with disabilities (blind, or sick etc.). So I am qualified to care for a pet at any age and just about any level of health! I work my own hours at my job and I have no scheduled weekly activities so I am free to come by and help at almost any day/time! I care for my cat at home by spending time with her playing and cuddling when I am free, letting her curl up with me in bed, and having her sit with me while I cook or do homework! In a client's home I would be interacting with the pets, feeding them, walking them to give them good exercise (for applicable pets), giving them cuddles and love, and providing a safe, clean space for them!

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I provide care to ensure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I have experience administering medication, reinforcing training, and offering plenty of playtime and affection. You can trust me to treat your pet like my own! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Right now, I’m taking one online class over the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to consistently check in, provide walks, playtime, feedings, and spend quality time with pets without feeling rushed. I can easily adjust my day to match your pet’s normal routine and give them the attention they deserve. I’m used to structuring my schedule around animals from my experience with fostering and dog walking, so caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I prioritize. The way I care for pets depends on the service and what makes each animal most comfortable. In my home, pets have a calm, spacious environment to settle into. I live in a large house with a backyard, which is great for dogs who enjoy getting outside, playing, or taking breaks throughout the day. I do my best to keep their routine consistent with what they’re used to at home including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also make sure the space is clean, safe, and low-stress so they can feel relaxed while they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box or yard care, medications if needed, and any specific habits your pet is used to. I also make sure to spend quality time with them so they still get attention and companionship while you’re away. In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I understand how important it is to know your pet is being well cared for, so I’m always happy to provide updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease.

About: I stay over night for clients if needed I can also take care of other animals not just dogs and cats. I will also stay in contact with client through out the stay with their pet I am a senior at Gainesville high and have a part-time key holder position at palmetto moon I don't work everyday so free after school. I take care of Clint's pets as asked for, following all feeding and waking instructions. As well as calling Clint in the cases of an emergency

About: Your fur baby isn’t “just a pet”.. I truly get it. I have two cats and 3 dogs myself, so I know firsthand how much patience fur babies can need, how picky they can be, and exactly why they’re so important to us. All my fur babies are seniors now. Some need injections, some take their medication orally. So whatever your fur baby needs I can handle it! I’ll treat your baby exactly as you would! Following every instruction, respecting their routine, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll always send check ins and updates, and whether your kitty prefers space, affection, or a little bit of both, I’ll meet them where they are 🐾 As a freelancer, pet care fits naturally into my daily life since I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s routine, making sure they get the time, attention, and consistency they need. I genuinely love fur babies, so spending time caring for them isn’t something I squeeze in.. it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize 🤍🐾 I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether I’m stopping by for a walk, giving medication, or staying for house/pet sitting. In your home, I follow all instructions closely. Feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, litter box or potty needs, and any specific preferences your pet has. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets safe exercise, attention, and a quick check-in on their overall well-being. If medication is needed, I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to make sure it’s given properly and comfortably. For house or pet sitting, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I respect your home, keep things clean, and stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I also send regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Every pet is different, so I adjust my care to match their personality. whether they need extra playtime, lots of affection, or space and quiet companionship.

“This is the second time I have booked with Valentina and she always takes great care of Clara!! She updated me throughout the day, sent me lots of adorable pictures and always respects my home. She is a wonderful guest and I would gladly book her again and again for pet care!!”
