About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

“Kimberly was absolutely amazing with Ace! She went above and beyond to keep us informed and he was so happy and comfortable with her. We will absolutely reach out to her next time we leave town.”

“Marie is fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of somebody I didn't know but she made this the best experience! All of my animals loved her and it was so nice having peace of mind that they were well cared for while I was gone. 100000% will use Marie again!!”

“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.”

“Sharon was a lifesaver when I got stranded across the country because of Hurricane Ian. She went above and beyond to make sure my babies were taken care of and my house was safe and secure. I am so grateful to her.”

About: As a proud dog dad and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their fur babies while they’re away, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including check-ins, walks, playtime, treats, feeding, and plenty of companionship to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I also have a fenced backyard with space for pets to run around, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship to make sure pets stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also make time for regular exercise, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention so every pet gets the care they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure while away from home. I make sure pets are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and I keep my home pet-friendly and free of hazards. I also follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special precautions. My goal is to create a calm and loving atmosphere where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.

“Brook was perfect! Our fur friends had a great time playing with her.”

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 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.

“Jamaura is Super helpful and sweet. thank you for taking your time of the day to do a last minute drop in for me I appreciate it. Can’t wait to book you in the future (:”

“Xan did an excellent job with our pets in our home. She stuck to the schedule and made sure to send up pictures after every visit. I don’t think you can go wrong with Xan taking care of your pets.”

About: I was born and raised on a farm until I was seven years old. My family and I moved to the city with a red Siberian husky (Lexus) and a yellow lab (Lennie). I was the oldest so I was in charge of the fur babies. After college I owned a Great Dane (Grendel) for 9 years. I then had the pleasure of befriending a Miniature Schnauzer (Abercrombie and Fitch). I am currently working part time as a bartender at Aloft hotels. I have plenty of time to spend with your precious puppies. I Also Dr., Uber and Lyft, so I am flexible. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a park park next to my apartment. I currently on a 35 pound poodle (Charm) Who could help keep your Papi company.

About: I began house sitting in high school for close family friends and neighbors. The first family who trusted me had quite the crew — two birds, a turtle, two senior cats, a dog, and even a couple of fish. Caring for their pets, especially the cats, taught me early on how important consistency and attention to routines can be. Since then, I’ve cared for and walked many dogs while babysitting and nannying, both for short visits and overnight stays. I understand the level of detail it takes to help pets feel comfortable and to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. My own dog tore his ACL while I was in college, and for months I carried him up and down stairs while managing his recovery. He also had allergies that required daily medicated baths, a special diet, and multiple medications. He was clever enough to try to outsmart me when it came to pills, which taught me patience, creativity, and a sense of humor when caring for animals. I truly believe every pet has a unique personality. I approach pet care with attentiveness, patience, and playfulness so animals feel safe, understood, and well cared for. My goal is always happy pets and complete peace of mind for their owners. I work a full-time schedule during the week, but I’m happy to provide care before and after work and occasionally in the evenings depending on timing and location. With advance notice, I’m also happy to adjust my weekend schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs since I was little my father taught me to love and take care of animals from a young age. I’ve helped raise puppies and dogs of many ages and sizes I love them all! I make sure to stick to their schedules and that’s with their feeding, walking or any activity they may have I make sure to keep their routine up I have a lot of love to give I make sure they are happy and well fed and played with I don’t mind giving them baths and I have some experience with nail trimming I make sure they get enough exercise as well I don’t mind taking them on walks but also love to cuddle with them when it’s time to relax I take care of them as if they are my own I give them all the love and attention they need I always make sure to do a great job and I’ve had family friends and people I’ve pet sat for tell me the same that I’m very caring and do a great job! I’m currently unemployed I do a few babysitting jobs here and there but my schedule is very open I always move my schedule around to fit the needs of the pets I’m babysitting and of their owners as I like to make sure to stick to their daily routine so the pet feels comfortable I live in a mobile home so no fenced in yard my fur babies get walked on a leash and certain times of the day usually when there’s no other dogs around as mine are small dogs they get nervous around big dogs but they are very friendly I make sure to keep them safe always checking the surroundings I’m very protective of my fur babies but also those that are in my care make sure they are safe well fed and clean i usually have wipes for my babies that I use in between baths or if their paws get dirty I’ll clean them up I also check to see if they need nail trimming and I give them treats when they are well behaved which is all the time I run around with them when inside of the house they do have a kennel usually in their when it’s bed time and sometimes during the day when I’m babysitting kids they tend to get nervous but are super friendly with kids they just sometimes get overwhelmed so I put them in their safe space and they’ll usually sleep or play around with their stuffed toys and I’ll take them out either every thirty minutes to an hour or every two hours to either go potty or to walk around the house

“Are’Anna has now looked after our dogs for 2 weekends and we couldn’t ask for someone better. We have 3 dogs, a Vizsla/Ridgeback mix weighing 90 lbs., a Catahoula weighing 80 lbs., and a Boston weighing 20 lbs. They all love her so much, the mix we were worried about because he’s nervous around new people but he liked her instantly, and the other two did as well. She has gone above and beyond what we expected and has taken the best care of our pups. She’s gotten to our house exactly when she said she would, spent plenty of time giving them attention and letting them potty, and sent plenty of pictures and updates on how they were doing. Leaving your pets for any amount of time is difficult, but Are’Anna has taken some of that stress away because we know she cares about our animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the area that needs somebody to look after their pets for any amount of time.”

About: As a genuine animal lover, I am excited to work with you and your furry friend. I recently graduated from UF with a bachelors in animal science. I understand the bond between a person and their pet, as they are like your children and I plan to provide for them as such. I have been around animals my entire life and have experience with a variety of animals. I currently have a German Shepherd and a cat of my own. I am comfortable working with animals that are high-strung or shy. I have experience with administering medication and basic first aid, if needed. I look forward to working with you and your furry friend! I am currently looking for part-time work while waiting to return to school. I am open to all forms of care, ranging from a quick walk to overnight supervision. I do not offer care in my own home, although I am happy to keep your animals routine as normal as possible in your own home. I would be happy to take them for walks at the park as well.

“Cheryl was great to work with. She kept me informed on what was happening and was easy to communicate with. I would book her again for any care I would need for my animals.”

“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.”
