I needed a pet sitter last minute and was very nervous about using a sitter through an app versus someone I knew. Montana was absolutely amazing and kept me updated throughout her visits and even made sure it’s OK for my cat patches to go on the balcony before allowing her to do so. I highly recommend booking with her as she is amazing.

We've been using Brenda for regular visits with our dogs, and she's been great. She's dependable, easy to communicate with, and always sends updates and photos. Our dogs are comfortable with her, and it's reassuring knowing they're well cared for when we're away. We'd definitely recommend Brenda and will continue using her services.

Debbie was so good with my cat, Toshi. She was always on time, communicating during each visit with updating me with photos. She cared for him exactly as was needed. I would definitely recommend her for your own pet care needs.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.

About: For the last 20 years, I have been the loving fur/scale mom to dogs, cats, snakes, and geckos! If you have chickens that need to be tended to, I don't mind filling up a feeder or collecting a few eggs for you! I just moved to the Ocala area and would love to take care of pets part-time or full-time. I am available daily and will advise on any days I am no going to be available. My cats currently have a 3 bedroom home, with one room dedicated to being a cat space for them. We are planning to add cat shelves for them to explore on later.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Sometimes up to 5 dogs at a time and horses too! So I have lots of experience with animals of various sizes. From chihuahuas and cocker spaniels to German Shepherds and poodles. I currently own a very friendly sterilized full sized golden doodle. He loves all dogs, humans and human puppies and he is down to play non-stop or nap all afternoon. Either one is fine with him. My dog is up to date on vaccines and flea + tick medication. I live in a house on .25 acres with 6ft fenced back yard. Large couch with pup-covers. Kiddie pool available for those who like to swim. Whether your pup is staying with me, or we are going on a walk, they are sure to have fun and I will spoil them just as I would my own! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m home most of the day. Lots of time for pets and walks. Happy to adapt my schedule to your pups needs. Let me know what the ideal day looks like for them. I have a 1/4 acre yard with a 6ft privacy fence. I also have a large doggie door where my pup can go in and out when they please.

About: Wilbert and I have cared for animals our entire lives, from small pets like rodents and birds, dogs and cats to horses and livestock of all sizes. Our goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. We both hold bachelor’s degrees in Animal Science and have hands-on experience working in veterinary settings, which allows us to provide attentive and knowledgeable care. I provide dedicated, focused attention during each visit and treat every pet and home with respect and responsibility. I keep routines consistent and make sure pets feel secure and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow house guidelines and I’m very mindful about cleanliness and organization, I make it a priority to leave the home tidy and in excellent condition after each visit. Visits are typically extended and can be scheduled multiple times per day or customized based on your pet’s needs. During visits I handle feeding, enrichment, companionship, cleanup, and well-being checks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention and timely visits. I plan my calendar carefully so I’m not overbooked and can give each household focused, reliable care. I’m available for extended daytime and evening visits and can provide multiple visits per day based on your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress for pets. I remain only in authorized areas of the home and am very mindful about cleanliness and security, I make it a point to leave the home tidy and well maintained after each visit. With my Animal Science background and veterinary setting experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, appetite, hydration, and general health. I take precautions with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and medication directions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while away.

About: Hi I'm Gabby! Animals have been part of my life for a long as I can remember. I grew up a horse girl and while living in China finally got my own dog, Taco, who I ended up bringing back here to the states with me. Currently, my family is Taco and my two foster fail cats, Khinkali and Aeon. Before moving to Florida, I ran my own pet sitting business in Cincinnati and fell into the niche of working with animals who had behavioral issues- from cats who had severe fear of strangers to dogs who had to be specifically handled due to their aggression. Routine is so important to the well being of our pets and the ability to get out and live our lives is so important to the well being of ours. My goal is to make life easier for you and your pet and make finding a pet sitter the least stressful part of pet ownership. As a bonus I am also a professional photographer and love to send a few portraits along with my updates! 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: Ive grown up with my pets my entire life from having 2 dogs, 3 cats, fish, and a snake I love all animals! I decided to join this app after helping my friends in college take care of pets they were watching through Rover and looking for extra side income after having my son roughly two years ago. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, I’m no stranger to the crazy energy of a pet (or toddler😂) and I can’t wait to meet your furry fam and be crazy with them too! I have experience with puppies, teenagers, and even senior dogs as well! I have availability right after I get off work at 1:15pm every day, until I have to pick my son up from daycare at 3pm. Monday-Friday I’m open and am free to walk in the Jonesville/Newberry/Gainesville area! :) I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, but I will consider other services if you are a previously established client, just message me with requests! :)

About: I have an extensive background with all types of pets, even owning 15 types of big and small animals growing up myself. I’ve watched numerous breeds of dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends and I am dedicated to treating each pet with individuality tailored care. I have a flexible schedule as a part time barista and college student, and the earlier my notice is the more I can do for your furry friends. I make it my priority to check on my own furry friends as much as possible. Health is a top priority, but cuddles are always added if the pet permits them.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. Growing up in a dog-loving family, I’ve been around dogs my whole life and am comfortable handling different breeds and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced in basic training, medication administration, and maintaining routines to ensure a stress-free experience. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or playtime, I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. Your furry friend will be treated like family! I'm currently only a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule, making it easy to accommodate pet care throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust to your pet’s routine. I live in an apartment community with plenty of grass areas for walking, and I also have my own fenced patio that would provide larger pets an area to sit outside and sun-bathe while remaining safe. I don't have any pets of my own to conflict with your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. In my care, pets are always supervised, and I ensure a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I follow pet parents' instructions closely, maintain open communication, and provide regular updates.
