“Another wonderful visit from Amy. We needed to go out of town to visit a sick family member and Amy was able to care for our furkids for the day. It's always nice to have a pet sitter that you know you can trust and that is reliable. We have both of those with Amy.”

“Katie was very kind and Coco had a great time”

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.

“Thank you so much for the last minute dog walk! I know Olive and yeti really appreciated going out”

About: I have lived and worked with a large variety of animals throughout my life, as a pastime, passion, and a career. I grew up on a farm full of animals and I’ve had dogs and cats as pets. I am a UF graduate in anthropology - research focused on human-animal interactions- and I currently have a flexible schedule teaching online, so I am available for all the attention and support needed by my charges. I have cared for most kinds of animals including puppies/kittens, and seniors. I do my utmost to make sure your pet isn’t lonely or uncomfortable while you’re away. I currently work online and occasionally in-person as a college professor, so my schedule and routine is highly flexible. I am fine with sitting overnight, making multiple visits, or adjusting my hours as needed. I keep all client’s homes in order with utmost respect and attention to their instructions, providing all necessary food, water, temperature monitoring, play, and activity outdoors if permitted.

“Danica was great for walking our dog Sadie! She was punctual, kind and provided thorough report on the walk. She went above and beyond in care for our dog, would definitely continue using her and recommend her!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds for as long as I remember. My first big purchase I ever saved up for was a giant cage for my rescued sugar gliders. I now have my childhood dog, a tarantula and a cat! I have had and can care for animals of any shape and size! I am a student and not taking many classes so I am very flexible! Fitting visits or walks of whatever time into my schedule should be no problem at all I focus on creating a comfortable and loving environment for my pets at home. This involves maintaining a consistent feeding schedule, providing enriching toys and activities, and ensuring regular vet check-ups. For my clients, I tailor my services to your pets' individual needs, whether it's daily visits, walks, or specialized care. Clear communication with the pet owners is my key to understanding and providing the best care that I can for your furry or scaly friends :)

About: I have been around animals my entire life—dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, hamsters, even rats. I have experience with big dogs, including German Shepherds, and I’m currently the proud dog mamma of a high energy, super-very friendly mixed breed. I respect every animal’s energy and comfort level, and precisely follow your instructions, checking in with you if necessary. When walking, your dog sets the pace. Sniffers get time to sniff, I keep pace with energetic dogs on a marching mission, and meander with dogs that appreciate a more leisurely pace of life. Every walk or drop-in comes with free snuggles. I am extremely reliable and will take excellent care of your pet and home. I make my own work schedule which gives me the flexibility to schedule your dog walks and dog and cat drop-ins to suit your pet's needs. I respect your pet's individual energy and comfort level, giving them time to feel comfortable and safe with me. Extra snuggles are always available at your pets request.

“My dog Kona had a great walk with Jenna and we definitely plan to reach out to her in the future! She was super easy to get in touch with, right on time, and provided great updates!”

I have much experience with pets who are not allowed on the couch or bed, and pets who live on the sofa, so I'll adhere to your needs! I'm also a semi-professional at cleaning whatever mess is made, which most pet owners learn the hard way.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and beyond over the past several years, specializing in the care and comfort of senior dogs and cats. I am currently a remote employee, so I will be around during the work day to keep your furry friend company and provide anything they need! With my experience caring for senior pets, I know that every animal is different and may require special attention in certain cases. My patience, in this case, is my strength, as well as my willingness to do what I need to make sure your furry friends feel as safe and loved as possible when they’re in my care!

About: Hi, I’m Julia! I’m a sophomore at UF and a volunteer at the Humane Society, where I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. One of my favorite things is the Barks and Rec program, where I get to take shelter dogs out for the day—whether that’s a long walk, a park adventure, or just some sunshine and snuggles outside of the kennel. It’s taught me how to handle energetic pups, comfort shy or nervous ones, and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. I love sending fun photo updates so you can see your pet smiling, playing, or napping, and I promise to give them all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. My class schedule is super flexible, so fitting in pet care is easy for me! I can do morning walks before class, hangouts in the afternoon, or evening cuddles after a study session. Weekends are relaxed too, which means extra time for adventures with your pup or quality chill time with your kitty. I treat pets like family—making sure they’re safe, happy, and comfy at all times. I always follow your instructions, stick to your pet’s routine, and make sure walks are safe (no risky shortcuts, always leashed, plenty of water breaks). I’ll also keep your home tidy and respected, so you can relax knowing your pet and your space are in good hands.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to loving seniors. My experience includes caring for dogs with health issues such as skin conditions, cancer, and breathing problems (I had a frenchie). I'm also confident in handling the puppy stage, from training basics to managing high energy. Administering medications is no problem, and I always provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I am completely available all day and night on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have classes from 11:30-12:45 and 2:30-3:45, with a break from 1:00-2:15. This means I'm available early mornings before 11:15, during my midday break, and again after 4:00 until about 7:00. On Wednesdays, only have class from 11:30-12:45, so l'm free before and after. Saturdays I'm typically busy, but my schedule on the other days gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, reliable pet care. I create a safe and comfortable environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I've cared for a wide range of animals-dogs, cats, fish, and even a chameleon-so I'm familiar with many different needs and personalities. My experience includes caring for a cat who was blind and had medical issues, as well as a dog who battled cancer and other health challenges. I also have hands-on experience with puppies, including my own six-month-old, so l understand the patience and structure they require. No matter the age or attitude, I provide loving, reliable care and always put each pet's well-being first.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little, and professionally for about 10 years. I have welcomed many animals into my home and at this time I have 3 cats and a dog. I have taken care of cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more! I have also fostered animals from the local shelter. I am able to administer medication, exercise with your pets, provide senior and sickly care. I work part time and I go to college in Tallahassee, Florida. However I have a flexible schedule and I am able to work with you. I am not able to care for pets in my home as I have my cats and dog at home, but I have no problem walking your dog, coming over for daily visits. I will always make sure to slowly introduce myself to your pet as I want to make them as comfortable as possible. I will also be sure to follow any instructions that are given and will update you on your pet if it is asked of me.
