Cat Sitting Gainesville

“Kelly was fantastic while checking in on my cat during my long weekend away. She kept me updated every step of the way, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Allison R.

“My drop-in visit with Megan went very smooth. She was very communicative the whole time and took care of everything. Highly recommend booking with her!”

About: I have had a love for pets since I was a child. I have a deep empathy for them and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, each has their own quirks and I love that. Makes each pet unique. I’m currently working full time Tuesday’s through Thursday’s (6am - 5pm.) I am more open to availability of late drop-in visits & walks in the evenings. I have two dogs at my home so I’m no stranger to managing multiple dogs at once. I can easily crate your dog if needed and offer to keep up with their training if that’s something you may be interested in.

“Danielle was great! Our pups instantly connected with her and were more well behaved for her then they are for us 😅 Truly appreciate her for helping us out last minute and the pups look forward to their next walk with her.”

Cole C.

“We felt so comfortable leaving our two pups in Melissa’s care! She was so professional, prompt, and conscientious. Communication was excellent. Our dogs are both shy, but they warmed up to Melissa quickly. We will definitely contact Melissa next time we go out of town.”

Patti M.

“Alexandra is super responsive and prompt! She is great with my pups and completed everything I asked her to and more. She is so good with my boys, I highly recommend!”

Megan P.

“Marjorie was absolutely amazing! She is highly responsive and took the extra time to patiently befriend my skittish kitty. She also made sure to play with my other kitty during every visit and even watered my outside plants as an extra bonus. I highly recommend her!”

About: My first pets were 2 rats. I took care of them exclusively, bathed them, fed and cleaned up after them. The family cat Simba was mainly my responsibility with occasional help from family, and I would take care of our family dog Bentley when I was home for summers from college. I've helped care for several other animals when babysitting children, and occasionally dog sat overnight for other families over a 3 day weekend period. I've also loved my time volunteering at the local dog shelter where I walk, clean up after, and play with all the dogs up for adoption until they find their forever families. Also enjoyed a 6 week program at a dog shelter in Athens, Greece in 2024! I’m in town for the next six weeks with open availability! I’d love to work as much as possible and give your fur baby anything they might need. I care for all pets as if they were my own, making sure they have all the attention and care they need and then some.

“Katie is such a wonderful pet care specialist. She did so much more than asked for her drop-ins visits. I re-booked for 2nd week and would highly recommend this individual for your perfect pet care needs!”

Kathleen B.

“If I could do a 10* I absolutely would. She took such great care of our boys and sent us the most adorable photos while we were gone. Alleviated all sense of worry I had before. Thank you for going above and beyond I appreciate it so much!”

Daisy C.

“Zach was great! He attended to every detail that we discussed. Our two cats were very happy, I could tell by all of the pictures that he sent. One of our cats is very shy and I told him that he may not see her. I was wrong. He sent us two pictures of her poking her head out and the third picture was her enjoying some pets and scratches. Our other cat had a great time playing and also getting pets and scratches. I’m a happy kitty mom! We will definitely book with Zach again😊”

Jody S.

“Isabel was a life-saver! We booked very last minute, but she took great care of our pups while we were out of town. She followed our instructions perfectly and the dogs seemed very happy with her. Highly recommend!!”

Samantha P.

“Katherine was on time, followed all care instructions perfectly, and took great care of our big goofy dog!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs and one cat. From daily walks and feeding to playtime and companionship, I’m comfortable with the responsibilities of caring for pets and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I am currently on summer break from college and am constantly looking for busy work. I have tons of time for you and your little friends. For my own dogs I walk them plenty throughout the day and love to go hiking or walk on trails with them. I am an active person so plenty of outdoor time with the pups.

“This was our first time to meet Lily. She dropped in on our cat daily for 9 days and came prior to our trip to meet him. Each time she was punctual, pleasant, and professional. She responded quickly as I had questions, and left us a daily photo! He was a happy and well-cared-for boy when we got home. We’ll definitely reach out to Lily again when we travel. Thanks so much!”

About: Please take a moment to read my full description 🐾💛. It’s very important to me that you do, as everything I include here is designed for the benefit of everyone involved —your pet, myself as their caregiver, and you as their loving parents, because I know your furry friend is truly part of your family and deserves the best care. You may find that what I’ve written here answers several of your questions, especially if this is your first time leaving your pet in someone else’s care. Here you’ll find all the details about boarding and daycare, including my routine, flexibility, safety measures, and how I care for each pet’s needs. If you have any questions or additional concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll be happy to answer everything you need so you can feel completely comfortable and at ease before booking. 🐾✨ ⸻ Hi! I’m Romely, a lifelong animal lover currently living in Virginia. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), so I can communicate comfortably in both languages —making it easier for you to feel understood and confident when we talk about your furry family member. 💬🐾 I began my journey as a rescuer and volunteer in animal shelters in Puerto Rico, caring for dogs and cats in delicate conditions and staying by their side until they found their forever homes. That experience taught me empathy, patience, and what it truly means to care from the heart. After moving to Virginia, I continued volunteering at local shelters, gaining even more experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and special needs. Caring for animals remains the heart of my daily life. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, my sweet, calm, and friendly dog who loves making new friends —both dogs and cats. I like to provide a balanced routine, with fun walks around our community’s pet park, interactive play, mental stimulation, and cozy relaxation time in a safe, loving environment. During their stay or care, your pet is my priority. I make sure they receive all my attention, love, and supervision so they feel comfortable, happy, and safe at all times. 💛🐾 For me, the most important thing is your pet’s safety and your peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I like to maintain constant communication with pet parents and share multiple updates throughout the day, whether it’s photos, videos, or messages showing how your pet’s day is going. 📸🐾 I never call unless it’s an emergency, but I genuinely enjoy keeping you updated because I know how important it is to feel connected and reassured. If you prefer a different communication style (for example, fewer updates or only once a day), just let me know —I’ll gladly adapt to your preferences. 💕 I’m trained in Pet CPR and First Aid, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I completely understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be hard —for both you and your furry friend. That’s why I do everything possible to ensure everyone feels comfortable and at peace from the very beginning. We love treating every pet as part of our own family, giving them the same love, respect, and attention we give to our own. ✨ I only host one family at a time to guarantee fully personalized care. For day sitting, I can care for up to two pets per day, always ensuring each one receives the attention, love, and space they deserve. We also love celebrating pets! 🥳 If your furry friend has a special day —like a birthday or adoption anniversary— please let me know. I enjoy hosting small “puppy parties” and making homemade pupcakes, decorating the space to make their stay extra special. 🎂🐾 📸 I also love photographing pets during their stay and sharing some of those joyful moments on Rover or social media, showing happy, everyday activities. If you’d prefer that I don’t post photos of your pet, please just let me know —I’ll fully respect your wishes. 💕 💻 Since I work from home, I’m not available for in-person meet & greets, as I often have meetings or need to be on call, and I wouldn’t be able to give you the full attention you deserve. I also made this decision because most of my apartment is carpeted, and some people prefer not to remove their shoes when entering. In our home, we don’t wear shoes indoors, keeping the environment clean and safe for the pets. At the entrance, we have a paw-cleaning station, where every time the dogs go out or come back in, we wash their paws with dog-safe soap and water before letting them walk freely inside the apartment. I’m happy to share details about the soap I use, and if your pet has any allergies or needs a specific type of shampoo, please let me know so I can use their own product and ensure their comfort and safety. 🧼🐾 It’s also very important to let me know if your dog has any food allergies or follows a strict diet. Sometimes a small piece of fruit, a bit of cheese, or a treat dogs love 🧀🍎 might sneak its way in —and I always want to make sure everything your pet receives is completely safe. 💕🐶 For Drop-Off and Pick-Up, you’re welcome to come right up to my door to say goodbye to your furry friend, or if you prefer, you can sit on the porch for a few minutes to have a calm and loving farewell. The same applies when you come for pick-up —I want both you and your pet to feel relaxed and supported during that transition. 💛🐾 🐾 I’m also very flexible with schedules and family needs. If you live nearby, I can offer free pick-up for your pet. If you’re a bit farther away, I can still help with transportation for a small, low fee, just to cover travel costs. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times —you can set them through the app, but if something unexpected comes up or you need to adjust, please don’t stress! I completely understand. If your dog is with me for day sitting and something comes up at the last minute where they need to stay overnight, don’t worry —these things happen, and I’ll gladly make sure they’re safe and comfortable for the night. 🌙🐾 And if your booking was last-minute and you didn’t have time to buy food or any items your pet might need for their stay, I can take care of that for you and do the shopping myself to make sure your furry friend has everything they need. 🛒💕 If, for any reason, your pet needs to extend their stay, I can often make exceptions when possible, even if Rover shows no availability. My priority is to keep everything stress-free for both you and your pet. 💕 That said, I’m happy to schedule a 15-minute virtual tour of my home, send videos of the community and the dog park, and meet through a video call before your pet’s stay. This way, you can feel completely comfortable and confident before leaving your furry family member with me. 💕 Thank you so much for considering my services! I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pet. 🌿🐶 I work from home full-time, so your pet will always have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and even for last-minute bookings, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is always cared for and never left alone. I live in a safe, pet-friendly community with its own dog park, perfect for daily walks, exercise, and playtime. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, our sweet and friendly dog who loves both dogs and cats. If needed, I can provide crate space or separate areas to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

“She was super responsive and took great care of my stubborn hound!”

About: Hi! I’m Katie, I’m 20 and a huge animal lover! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and can’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs of my own, a playful young Labrador I’ve trained myself, and a sweet 13-year-old Westie, so I understand the needs of both energetic pups and senior dogs. Over the past several years, I’ve cared for many neighbors’ pets, including dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, medication, or just a little extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, their comfort and happiness are always my top priorities! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because animals are already a huge part of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to early walks, feeding schedules, and making time throughout the day for attention, play, and exercise. I’m very organized and flexible, so I can adjust my schedule around each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I always follow your instructions closely, from feeding and walk schedules to any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space and give them plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own, and I understand how important it is to build trust, both with your pet and with you. Safety is always my top priority, and I do everything I can to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.

“Very professional and thoughtful. My dog was in great hands. Jennifer was very detail oriented and you can quickly see - she loves animals.”

About: I have been house sitting for 25 years along with house cleaning. Since I have retired from cleaning houses I now have more time to house sit. I have always loved animals and they love me dearly. All the dogs and cats are always so loving and I love to spend that with them. I follow the instructions of the owner. I make sure that your fur babies take the medicine required and eat when they are suppose to. I also take the dogs for walk unless you just let them out back in the fenced back yard.
