Dog Sitting in Gainesville

About: Thank you for visiting my profile. I've been around dogs for most of my life and know that pets are and important part of the family. It's my priority to make you comfortable about trusting me with your pet(s). I'm caring, dependable, energetic, and look forward to taking care of your family member! I keep my availability up to date on the calendar. I'm available for short or extended visits and walks in the evenings and on weekends. No breed preferences. I'm open to taking walks or going for a run on nearby trails or sidewalks depending on your dog's ability and/or energy level.

“Gabrielle took great care of my two cats while I was away for a week!! She was always on time with her drop in visits, followed all of my instructions closely, sent lots of great pictures, and went above and beyond by spending time playing with them and giving them treats. Even my very shy cat seemed to really love her. Will definitely book her again in the future!!”

“If you only want the best for your pet, Ami is it. Everything from start to finish with her has been nothing short of outstanding. She is reliable, compassionate, and her energy is so calming. My dog Luna had just been diagnosed with kidney disease, and I was overwhelmed. Ami came over to administer subQ fluids, which have been a struggle for me to do on my own because it was so stressful for my dog. Ami taught me things the vet never mentioned, so that the experience was less stressful for Luna, such as warming the bag of fluids, the position to hold my dog in and how to distract her with treats. She even recommended needles that are thinner, and I was amazed my dog didn’t even react when she poked her! She is also working with me on a specialty diet specifically for CKD which is already helping with her nausea and appetite. I am so relieved to have found Ami - she is an invaluable resource, and true animal whisperer. And our kitties approve too, they absolutely love her! Thanks again Ami!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, both professionally and personally. My daughter and I share a deep bond with our rescue cat Luna, and together we’ve learned how to build trust, respect routines, and honor each animal’s personality. I bring that same dedication to every pet I meet, offering not just care, but companionship, safety, and a sense of home while you’re away. I work part-time, but I’m never alone in caring for pets, my daughter, who studies online, helps me throughout the day. While I’m at work, she watches over our furry friends, making sure they feel safe, entertained, and never alone. Together, we create a warm environment where your pet is always part of the family. I take care of pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine carefully. Feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My daughter helps me when needed, so your pet will always have company and attention. We treat every animal with love, patience, and respect, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

“Last minute request due to sister coming into town to run the Marine Corps Marathon. So appreciative of Samantha being available! Great communicator and Winnie seems very comfortable with her. Will continue to use.”

“Kiley was absolutely wonderful to my sweet pup. She provided play time and a potty break in the middle of the day when I was at work. And even managed to befriend my cat who hides from everyone. Her time and attention given to my pup was greatly appreciated by both the humans and the dog who was much happier being at home than at doggy daycare.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or comfort. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have volunteered in the past with being a temporary foster for shelter/rescue dogs. I also have volunteered with driving dogs in rescues to their medical appointments. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra attention, or more specialized care, I’m here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with more open availability in the afternoons and evenings. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and can provide reliable, timely care you can count on. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs including medical care or medications. I follow instructions closely and keep a watchful eye on behavior to ensure your dog feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain a calm, clean environment. On walks, I stay attentive, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure your dog is always secure. I’m also happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs since I was born and have always been taking care of them. I specifically have experience with senior pets and puppies, I've helped potty train quite a few puppies. I'm a full time student, so I mostly do pet care in the afternoons. My availability can change based on certain things like exams, but I will always update in a timely manner. I would never expect something of you that I can't do myself! I understand that all pets are different and will always do what's best for them individually. If some need more time getting used to me I don't mind working with this.

“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😊”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with both puppies and adult dogs. My family has had four dogs in the past 11 years, and I’ve helped take care of, train, and walk all of them. Because I love animals so much, friends and family have trusted me to pet-sit since I was 11. I know how to handle different ages and personalities, so whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or making sure an older dog is comfortable, I’ve got it covered! I’m working part time as a server on weekends so my availability will be Monday-thursday’s and i am also a college student so mondays and wednesdays would be a later schedule. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or a someone else’s, I follow their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they get exercise, playtime, and any needed care. I also keep owners updated.

About: Does your pup like to walk, wander, or play? I’m ready to go! I enjoy long walks, sniffing adventures, hikes, and visits to the dog park. Prepared with extra water and tick combs, I will check that your dog is happy and healthy! I’m currently on my summer break, so I’m happy to work with you, from early morning to later in the day! I am available Monday through Saturday. Having experienced my own stubborn dog, I am patient and willing to work hard to establish trust with your dog. I am careful to keep dogs away from human food or dangerous objects (unless explicitly allowed), and I will absolutely communicate with you in case of an emergency.

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.

“Stephanie was amazing. She was considerate, attentive and responsive. I would absolutely book her again for drop ins for my dog.”

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

About: I grew up with dogs and helped train one from puppyhood, gaining hands-on experience with obedience and daily care. I also regularly dog sat for my neighbors, building trust with both pets and their owners. While I’m currently in college and don’t have a dog of my own, I stay active by volunteering at a local animal shelter, working with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I have very open availability over the summer and can be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I do occasionally spend time with family about an hour away, but I always plan ahead to ensure I’m fully available and committed to any bookings. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs, providing a safe and social environment for visiting pets. Dogs in my care get plenty of outdoor time, play, and supervision

I am available weekdays, I do not work weekends and holidays. Currently I do not have another job, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I currently do not have any furry friends, however I like to have a set plan for my visit/walk, so I can make sure that the time with your animal is used efficiently. I take extra precautions while with any animal. I make sure animals are safe and comfortable in their environment.
