Dog Sitting Gainesville

About: Pet sitting is not something I expected to take off for me like it did but it has became a big part of my life and I absolutely love it. Animals are healing to my soul and they bring me so much joy and comfort. I would love to take care and love on your fur babe or babies!! My prices are negotiable depending on maintenance and location! :) Pet sitting, staying active, reading, and hanging out with friends/family is what I love to do!! All of the work I do is very flexible so it's easy for me to move my schedule around to fit your needs! I don't house sit at my own home. I would love to, but I rent a room from a family that has two dogs of their own.

“Grace did an excellent job with our animals! She went above and beyond and kept us updated regularly. We would definitely recommend her and will book her again!”

“We had a great experience with Jennifer! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she arrived exactly when scheduled for both drop-in visits. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we returned. We really appreciated the updates and peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so well. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”

“We needed someone at the last minute. Caitlyn answered right away. She showed up at the scheduled time and cared for our dogs exactly as discussed. We really appreciate her willingness to help us out.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have been surrounded by them for most of my life! Growing up around my grandmother’s farm gave me plenty of experience being around different animals. I also have 6 years of pet care experience, including caring for my grandmother’s three dogs whenever she travels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and looking after multiple dogs at once. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently a full-time online college student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m also a very active person, so I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and keeping dogs entertained. Since I’m not currently working, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive, patient, and love giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away!

About: I’ve dog sat for 5 years and I used to work at a dog daycare but am now in college to be a vet. I have fostered dogs and volunteer at a humane society often I am currently in college so I do have classes. I’m in school Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9-9:50am and Tuesday, Thursdays from 8-3:15pm I am willing to take care of your fur babies and keep them on the schedules you gave them. I can take them on daily walks and even keep them company.

About: My name is Erin, I am 30 years old, and I have been working with and around animals since I was 16. I currently own one dog and one green cheek conure. Qualifications: I have held several jobs in dog kennels and vet offices, so I can administer medications and clean up doesn't bother me. I am also very knowledgeable about small and exotic animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds. I am currently working on a Veterinary Technician degree. Services: I am happy to help with caring for sick/elderly animals, providing play time and/or walks, and staying overnight in your home to care for your pets while you’re away. Contacting Me: I can be reached through Rover, but will provide you will my phone number (cell) after our initial meeting. I find it’s easier for my clients if we get connected through Rover and then do business outside of it. I currently work at a vet clinic, so I do work longer hours than most people. However, I can stay overnight with your pets, and spend my days off giving your pets the best possible care! My only request is that you give me detailed instructions, so I can make my stay with your pet as stress-free as possible! I love to know everything: feeding/walking schedules, favorite treats, favorite toys, anything they love or will need.

About: I have four different dogs of my own of all sizes. From a Great Pyrenees to a mini Border Collie, I have raised all of them since they were puppies. I also help take care of a Golden Retriever that is learning how to live with one eye. When I take care of dogs I make sure to interact with them as much as possible and not just sit and watch them. I am currently attending school at Webber International University. I also play baseball for the school team. I have a pretty light class schedule that leaves parts of my day with plenty of open time as well as my nights being completely free. I would love to spend this time taking care of your dogs! I care for pets by making sure that they stay active and entertained. If a dog has specific needs I have no problem at all catering to those needs to keep the dog comfortable.

About: I’ve pretty much always had a dog by my side! I’ve had four dogs throughout my life, and they’ve ranged from my little Cavachon all the way up to a Boerboel, Great Dane, and now my Cane Corso puppy, so I’m definitely not afraid of the big babies! 🐾 My Cavachon was with me for most of my life, and I had the privilege of caring for him from his energetic puppy years all the way through his senior years. That experience taught me so much about how a dog’s needs change as they get older. I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a puppy who wants to get into absolutely everything as I am slowing things down for a senior who needs a little more patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’ve also been involved in training all of my dogs, so I have experience with puppy training, basic commands, potty training, leash manners, boundaries, socialization, and creating consistent routines. Having Boerboels, Great Danes, and now a Cane Corso has also made me very comfortable with large and giant breeds. I know they may look intimidating to some people, but I’ve always had a huge soft spot for the gentle giants! I think what really sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Some want to play nonstop, some want to explore every smell on a walk, some think they’re 100-pound lap dogs, and others just want someone nearby to keep them company. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I know how much I love and worry about my own pets, so I completely understand wanting someone you can trust with yours. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, give them plenty of attention and affection, follow the routines you’ve established, and of course send you lots of pictures and updates along the way! ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week. I’m a university student, so while I do have classes and other responsibilities, my schedule allows me to plan pet care around them and dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for as well as my own. I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins throughout the day depending on my class schedule, and weekend care. I’m also happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can maintain their pet’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have the time to provide reliable, attentive care rather than simply fitting a pet into a busy day. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone’s pet. As a puppy owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and how important the little details of their routine can be. I treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions their owner provides. I’m careful about securing doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, staying aware of our surroundings during walks, and making sure pets are comfortable and properly supervised. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their pet and their space. I follow feeding, walking, potty, medication, and bedtime instructions carefully and do my best to maintain the routine their pet already knows and feels comfortable with. I also believe communication is a big part of building trust. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention.

“Beverly is awesome! She took care of both our dogs, one which is high maintenance, and everything turned out great. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I’ve always been around dogs and have cared for two of my own— a small yorkie and a large lab. I’ll give your pet lots of love and attention. I currently work Monday through Friday from 1–9 p.m., so I’m available for overnight stays, early mornings, and late-night care. I can easily fit walks, feedings, and quality time into my routine. Every pet is different, so I follow the owner’s instructions and make sure they are sticking to their routines and getting plenty of attention, walks, and playtime.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Abby! She took excellent care of our cat and fish while we were away and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: Hello! I’ve been dog walking and dog sitting for a few years and have many references. It’s of the upmost importance to make sure your fur babies will be taken care of when your away and that is my top priority. I’m a stay at home mom so I am able to do most mornings and most evenings weekly. Mondays and Wednesdays I have to bring my daughter to school but can come immediately after. Friday we have dance at 5 but after dance I can come straight to your home. Depending on whether you need walks for your pups or just feedings I can handle whatever your needs are. I have two cats and three dogs myself and it’s of upmost importance they get their food and outdoor time in each day which is what I will provide your fur babies with.

About: Hey everyone! My name is Mark and I’m a total dog lover. I’ve had dogs my entire life and I started doing house sitting and dog walking when I was 16. I also worked at a feed and seed store, so I have some knowledge on animal nutrition. I work part time at a local sober living community and do some other work from home. Most of the time, I will be available. I will check in and send you at least 2 pictures of your fur baby everyday. When I’m at your place, I will follow every guideline and rule you give me. Your dog will remain the focal point of my attention.

“Alexis was awesome! One of my pups is a diabetic and it was a huge relief to find someone with the knowledge and ability to care for him and give him his shot of insulin. Highly recommend Alexis!”

About: I am currently a 28 year-old nurse. Besides loving dogs, I love the outdoors, and love to make extra money on the side. I would love to love on your dogs :-) I have a cute 1 year old who loves dogs and loves to tag along with me! I am a nurse so they days I work my fiancé helps out as long as you are ok with us tag teaming! We love staying at your house as well and enjoy the change in routine every now and then. I have about 3 regulars I have been watching for the past 3 years when they go on vacations, so I do have a lot of experiences staying at houses, or just going over a couple times a day. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns. I would also be happy to come to your house before I begin. While you’re away I can happily water some plants for you, take your trash out, and grab the mail. Thank you for taking the time to read this! Let me know if you have any questions! I am a nurse and work 3 days a week so this is how my fiancé make extra money on the side. My schedule is super flexible and I can be home a good bit of the day if needed and when I am working my fiancé picks up the responsibility’s where I can’t! I treat every pet as if they are my own. I know your mom and dad leaving can be scary so I take it very seriously to make the fur babies feel as safe and loved as possible while their humans are away.
