Patricia absolutely saved the day when we had a family emergency and asked her to watch Mina on short notice. She responded promptly and did everything to make it an amazing afternoon for our Shih Tzu! She sent tons of photos, kept us updated, and bent over backwards to help us out. Her energy was calming and reassuring in what was a very stressful time for us. We are so grateful and would book her again in a heartbeat!

About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.

Ryan and his partner are THE BEST. Ryan sent me updates and was an amazing communicator throughout the day while my pups were at his house. I received lots of photos, as well! My babies came home so worn out from their fun day at day care and went straight to sleep. They are extremely high energy, so it takes a lot to wear them out! GORGEOUS house with lots of indoor and outdoor room for the dogs to play on a quiet street. They have a doggy gate as you walk up the stairs to their house as an extra precaution. Their dogs are sweeties too and my pups had a grand time with them. Will definitely be using again. Thank you so much! :)

About: I've never met a dog that didn't captivate my heart. As a passionate animal advocate, I'm driven to make a difference. I've even gone the extra mile, chasing a dog down the highway to ensure its safety. My loyal companion of 11 years, a rescue dog, left an indelible mark on my heart when he passed away in February. Though I wish I could rescue every animal in need, I take comfort in knowing that my efforts, no matter how small, can bring about positive change. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of sharing my home with my own dogs, while also caring for the beloved pets of family and friends. The thought of any dog being confined to a boarding cage is unbearable, as I know they're already experiencing separation anxiety. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming space that makes them feel at home, surrounded by love and comfort. I am a real estate agent and have been for 26 years. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide top-notch animal care services, whether in my residence, yours, or simply taking them for a stroll. Whether I am providing pet care in my home or yours, you can be assured that I am delivering companionship and love to your pet while you are away. Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I will take your dog for a leashed potty break and a daily walk to ensure they receive adequate exercise.

How I got so fortunate on a spur of the moment is beyond me. When I tell you we were meant to cross paths today. Our footsteps were guided because he knew I needed her today. Not only did she save me from missing work, but something more personal. This lady has heart that just loves. She is a servant. She loves genuinely. I was having a really rough day, and she cared. A lot. She also knew it was my first time leaving my baby. So she sent pictures and let me know everything they were doing. I will forever trust her to take care of of my babies because I know she treats them with nothing but love, compassion that can only come from a genuine pure heart. I thank you for today and for just being you.

About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.

About: My name is Christina and I'm 36 years old. There hasn't been a time in my life that I haven't had dogs. I live with my husband and we have two dogs. We have a fenced in yard and tons of toys and frisbees. From June-August, I am home all day (I'm a teacher). My dogs love to make friends big and small and they know all the best places for runs and walks. We live in the Mulberry Park subdivision and walk the trails all the time and put our paws/feet in the river. I love to teach dogs tricks and would love to keep your dog or dogs entertained so you can relax while you're away from them. Thank you for considering me to watch after your pups. - Christina I can try to work with your schedule as much as possible. I work until 3:15 so I have some availability during the months I am teaching (August-May). I have a fenced in yard and will supervise play time and meal time.

About: I’ve had all pets from, kittens, puppies, geckos, chameleons, fish, and birds! I love spending time with animals and Id love to spend time with/ take care of yours! 🤍 I have full time availability as a SAHM and would like to devote my time to helping pet owners in the Gainesville and the surrounding areas, to give their fur babies the love and attention they deserve while you take care of your priorities! I have grown up around many animals from kittens, to dogs, to even horses and have been taught the proper way to approach and handle dogs who may be shy, or have a temperament towards new people. I am also very cautious with the temps outside when walking dogs to insure their paws are not burned in the or picking up mud with the unpredictable GA weather. Your babies would we treated as one of my own 🫶🏼

About: My family always had dogs when I was growing up. As an adult, I have always had dogs and cats. For several years I also had a farm with lots of animals. Almost two years ago I got divorced and this is the first time in my whole life I have not had any pets! I am really looking forward to getting my dog and cat fix from your pets! I work from home and am a stay at home mom. This allows me to care for your pets the way I would care for mine. They get plenty of love and attention! In my home, your pets will be taken care of like they are part of our family. I have children so they will be loved on by them as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking and we have a grassed, outdoor area as well. At your home, I will love on your pets and care for them in every way that you would like.

About: I’ve always had some kind of pet since I can remember whether that was a fish, frog, shrimp, rabbit, cat, or dog! I LOVE ANIMALS! I am that person at a family gathering/ party hanging out with the pet - not the people! ☺️ I currently have a 14 year old “lab/retriever” (I think part Rottweiler somewhere down the line) that I got from the humane society when she was a puppy - she’s the best part of every day! I’ve taken care of my aunts boxer while she has been out of town (during her heat cycle once) and my other aunts Beta fish! I appreciate the opportunity to take care of the best part of your day! 😊 I am currently working from home and starting my own business Capriluna🌙! I take care of my dog daily so I understand the need of pet care! My dog stays inside and is fed 3 times/day. She is a senior so potty breaks are frequent. She currently is not on any medication but does take joint care medicine daily. When watching my aunts boxer she is fed twice daily and a good bit younger, so her potty breaks are not as often. During her heat cycle, she remained in diapers (obviously except for potty breaks and outside time). Any pets that stay will receive the same amount of care/attention as my own dog. My dog is NOT a social dog and has been alone her whole life and out of respect for her space and comfort, all guest dogs staying over will stay in my office (NEVER in the same area as my dog). They will have separate potty breaks, walks, feeding, attention, etc. Her care and comfort is priority to me and I hope you as pet owners can understand this. Also, crates will need to be provided by the owner for overnight stays (until I can afford to buy one for my clients).

Heather and her family give me peace of mind knowing that whenever I drop off my dog, they will give him all the love, attention and exercise he needs to be happy. They go above and beyond, nurturing my recently rescued mastiff/lab mix and their toy poodle became his best friend. They are always kind, understanding and respectful towards me as well. My only concern is that sometimes he likes being there more than my apartment 😁
