“McKenzie did an amazing job looking after my cat! She was so attentive, caring, and thoughtful, including when there was a tornado watch in the area. My baby is very shy around new people, but warmed up to McKenzie in a day and loved getting snuggles. Thank you!!!”


“JB took amazing care of our two cats when we had to go out of town unexpectedly over Thanksgiving!! She handled their care in the most professional manner, perfectly following the care instructions to make sure both cats got the food and medicine they needed. We especially apprecited the videos and pictures she sent us, it was clear to us that they had a ball with her! We will definitely be re-booking JB in the future and would highly reccomend her for your pet care needs.”


“Miranda was amazing! My cats loved her! Normally they hide from sitters but they actually came out and let her pet them. It was a great experience for both me and my pets!”


About: I grew up on an a small animal farm in Florida. Growing up in this environment taught me a lot about hard work, dedication and responsibility. On our farm we had numerous animals, some including goats, donkeys, cow and chickens. In addition we had many horses, cats and dogs. I had many responsibilities on the farm such as feeding, mucking out and general care. I have also had many exciting experience such as helping give birth to foals and baby donkeys. Growing up on this farm helped me realize my love for horses. So I took it up as a full time sport the past 12 years and I loved every second of it. In those 12 years I have had the opportunity to work with different breeds, young horses and ride different disciplines. In addition to working with horses, I helped train and look after my two huskies. These two are very energetic and high maintenance so, it was a tough job at first but now they are very well behaved. Over the past few years I have taken up pet sitting as a part time job. I have been able to pet sit many different breeds of dogs and cats. Furthermore, I have had the opportunity to pet sit horses and other livestock. I currently am looking to take up pet care as a part time job as I am currently home for some time. Therefore, I have plenty time to spend with your pets. Currently I have two dogs and a horse at home. I spend most of my day playing, feeding and providing care to them. I hope to provide your pet and your home with the same exceptional care. With being attentive, responsible and caring. My extensive experience with all types of animals will have me prepared for any situation. I hope to leave you feeling confident and content that I will provide the best care for your pets and home.

“Daniel is amazing!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch and take care of my cats! He sent a lot of photos and kept us updated regularly. He really goes above and beyond to make sure your animals are cared for exactly as you wished.”

About: Loving & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! 🐾 Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, and today I’m a proud pet parent to 6 dogs, 3 cats, and a variety of other amazing animals—including sugar gliders, turtles, fish, mice, snakes, and lizards. 🩷 I have cared for dogs of all ages—from fragile newborn puppies to seniors needing extra love and patience. I’m experienced in providing special care for older pets and am attentive to any unique needs or quirks they may have, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. With over 6 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, animal care specialist, and groomer, I bring both expertise and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, administering special care, or simply giving them extra affection, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently working off of my own schedule so I have a ton of flexibility! I can do same day appointments and adjustments if needed! When providing care in either my home or a client’s home, my priority is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any special instructions provided—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or unique care needs—so your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and if treats are allowed, I’m happy to use them as part of positive interactions. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, offering snuggles, companionship, and the highest level of care so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I had two small dogs ever since I was 2 years old. I loved playing with them and taking them outside to potty and get some fresh air. I’ve always had a passion for animals other people could tell. My neighbors would ask me to watch over their cats whenever they would go on vacation at the young age of 8 years old. Since then I’ve had 2 cats both since they were kittens. I love playing and spoiling all animals. It brings such joy to watch their energy go up just from some enrichment. I’m an online college student who doesn’t really do much except chill at home with my cat lol. i’m available anytime anyday. Some days i am out of town but my availability is always up to date! I take care of my cat at home by playing with him his favorite toys and lick mats and giving him supervised balcony time. I also scoop his litter boxes 3 times a day as well as deep cleaning his litter box and surrounding weekly and his food bowl after each use. I’m very passionate about animals health and cleanliness. For in home check-ins I will do whatever the client prefers/asks. I can deep clean a litter box, scoop, wash dog beds, clean food/water bowls, give vitamins or medicine and most importantly make sure they get some good play and love!

About: My family has had many pets my whole life, and we currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs. We have had a wide range of dog breeds from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds (our personal favorite) We have also had many pets with some needs such as megaesophagus, heart worms, and hyperthyroidism, so safe to say I am comfortable with administering medications if needed. We have a 2 acre, fully fenced (7ft tall chain link) yard with plenty of room for pups to release energy in a safe environment. I am currently in school part time, and hope to be working part time as well, so having this as a side job will definitely help with getting some extra cash while in school as it is flexible for me and my schedule. At a clients home, I want the pet to be able to stick to their routine as best as possible, as I know some pets thrice on routine. In my home, I want the pet to be able to feel comfortable and respect their space. I do have pets of my own who I also want to have their own comfort, so they won't be intermingaling with one another unless I and the client are 110% comfortable that personalities match, as I can read my pets well.


About: My name is Gabby and I have worked with animals my whole life. I spent much of my time growing up on a farm working with horses but my dream as a kid was always to find a job working with dogs so I'm excited to be able to spend more time doing that now. Professionally, I have been dog sitting and dog walking for about 3 years and have experience with puppies to senior age dogs. I'm comfortable giving dogs medicine and meeting any other unique needs they have. I currently have my own dog named Taco that I adopted while living in China and brought back to the US with me. While the Florida heat can be a lot, we love the Ocala countryside . My availability is very open, and I can't wait to meet your pets! I currently create my own schedule around pet sitting jobs so my availability is open and flexible! I am happy to work with you to make sure we come up with a schedule that is best for your pet. As I offer services in other people’s homes I want them to feel comfortable having me there! I am fine with any security measures such as cameras and like to discuss how often clients want updates for peace of mind.

About: I've worked on farms growing up, everything from dogs, and cats to chickens, horses and cows. I, myself own a husky, boxer and a cavalier, so I have experience ranging from vastly different breeds and sizes of dogs as well as energy levels. I raised puppies and kittens, as well has fostered and adopted dogs and cats. I've taken care of both senior dogs and cats, as well as more trouble maker types too. I work as an assistant for a DVM and have lots of experience going around my neighborhood taking care of their pets as well, this can be anything from letting them out periodically, walking/playing with dogs, feeding them, and administering medicine. I've pet sat ranging from anywhere between a weekend to a few weeks. I would love to extend my service to others as well, as pets are my passion. I am a part time college student with a lot of free time, so overnight pet care or play time visits 2-3 times a day are not a problem for me. I have myself 3 very friendly dogs, my cavalier spends her night in her crate, an elderly boxer as well as a fun loving husky, about 6, who loves dog parks, dog beaches and most of all, dogs. Everyone is very friendly, spayed/neutered and calm. Our cats are very use to dogs and typically spend most of their time outdoors. They have a large outdoor play area, safely fenced-checked often. Based off preference, they are easily separated and do not need to make contact if desired.

Eva M.

“Eva took excellent care of our family dogs. She kept us informed with activities and pictures during each visit. We will likely book her again when we need a sitter.”


Nicholas F.

“Nicholas was conscientious with detailed texts about Cato's activities and pictures as well. I appreciated his care of my 17 year old kitty.”


Daniel L.


“Daniel is amazing!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch and take care of my cats! He sent a lot of photos and kept us updated regularly. He really goes above and beyond to make sure your animals are cared for exactly as you wished.”


Connie A.
“Connie has cared for my Standard Poodles and birds since November of 2022. There are very few people that I would trust to care for my animals. I trust her wholeheartedly. She has a key to my house and she comes over periodically when I am not able to let my dogs out during the day or occasionally late into the evenings. Connie treats my dogs and birds like they are her own. When we go out of town at the same time and she is not available to care for my animals, I take all of them with us on the trip. Her vet tech background make her even more valuable as a care giver as she can spot aliments and administer meds and medical care that other pet sitters and care givers may not have the knowledge or skills needed to properly care for sick or medicated animals. I am very careful with who I recommend in life- I whole heartedly trust and recommend Connie.”


Sarah F.

“My lab took to Sarah immediately. Her warm, caring personality was very evident immediately. She is adaptable and dependent. I will be using her for a long time.”
