“Aleah was so sweet and trustworthy. She spent extra time with my girls and played with them while we were away. I enjoyed seeing pictures of them with each drop in. Would definitely book with Aleah again!”

About: I love dogs and having one of my very own whom I adore more than ever, I can assure you your furry friends will be safe, well cared for, and without a doubt will love me! I've taken care of dogs of all sizes, and cared for litters of puppies as well. I am a college student. I'm looking forward to earning extra money between classes and spending lots of time with your fur babies. I love animals and so excited to help people take care of their pets. When I’m taking care of pets in a client’s home, I stick to whatever routine the owner has for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. I always make sure they’ve got fresh water, clean bowls, and a comfy space. I clean up any messes, take care of the home while I’m there, and make sure their pet feels safe and relaxed. I also send photo or text updates so the owner knows how things are going.
“Pauline was great with my dogs, they had to warm up a bit but that was expected. She was on time and satisfied my needs for pet care. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pets while out of town.”


“Tiffany was fantastic, she was committed and showed everyday at the time she agreed too, she sent pictures everyday and our family is so very grateful for her and will definitely contact her again if needed!”

“Darren is WONDERFUL..!!. Was a complete lifesaver. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He even cleaned the spider webs off my garage door so it would close all the way. (Above and beyond what he should of). LOL. And I'm very sure my dog, Addison, really enjoyed him coming to the house.”

“Alejandra was a great pet sitter! I felt completely at ease being away from with how conscientious and attentive she was. She provided pictures and videos of our pups. Will definitely use again!”
“Leah is amazing with my dogs! She takes them out three times a week for an hour, and they always come back happy and well-exercised. She’s reliable and truly cares. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve fostered a variety of breeds from Great Danes to dachshunds and Rottweilers so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. For the past 6 months, I’ve also been helping with pet sitting and dog care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and providing a calm, consistent routine. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m based in Branford and commute to Gainesville for college, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the semester. That said, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate requests whenever possible. I’m typically available for care in both areas, including weekends and many weekdays, including holidays with a proper heads up, and I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I’m experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize secure environments, proper leash handling, and careful supervision. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I offer personalized, reliable care for pets in the comfort of your home.🫶🏼 I do this by following each pet’s regular routine—feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any needed medication. Keep their environment clean, give them plenty of affection and attention, and monitor their health and behavior. Communicate regularly to provide updates and peace of mind, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away!🫡 I have 10+ years of pet care experience and I have 2 babies of my own, one of which I’ve had since I was a teenager!🥰 I have an open calendar. I’m married and do not work. I go to school online but it will not affect any of your scheduling needs! I care for my pets by giving them daily love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I feed them nutritious meals, provide fresh water, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. I keep them clean, groomed, and watch for any changes in their health or behavior. Most importantly, I spend quality time with them to ensure they feel happy, loved, and secure every day.
About: For as long as I can remember, there has always been animals in my house, but the last 13 years are where my real growth has happened for me as a pet parent and carer. In my own home, there’s always been a variety from dogs to hedgehogs to cats to lizards. I have often found myself as a haven for wayward creatures in need of respite. I have experience caring for, raising, and training puppies as well as caring for senior dogs. I work full time as a teacher but I am often around on the weekends and evenings and am happy and able to make pets a part of my routine! Any space I am in is always treated with the upmost respect— I don’t touch what isn’t mine, I don’t touch what I don’t need to. Integrity and honesty are paramount. If there is an issue with anything, I of course will be upfront about it, as that is what I would expect and want from anyone in my home. Trusting me to come into your home is a big deal, and I would never want to jeopardize your peace of mind.
“Leanne is the best. She took such good care of Duke and always sent pictures and updates on him. Took good care of his eyes and made sure he had plenty of time with her. She was such a huge help to me since I had to leave in such short notice. Thank you so much ??”
