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 experience with large and small dogs, and also love cats! I grew up with a whole crew of animals including a German shepherd, a rat terrier, and many cats. I love going on walks, throwing a ball, or just relaxing with some animal company. As a recent graduate not originally from Florida, I miss being around animals all the time. I am a future agriculture teacher who is looking to kill some time this summer. During the summer I have a lot of availability, but with some random weeks that I will be out of state. My weeks I am unavailable include: May 17 - 21 June 12 - 20 July 25 - August 2 I do not have availability to care for client’s pets in my own home. I am familiar with crate training if necessary, and will care for your pets exactly how you want me to in your home!
“Haley was extremely helpful for me while I was gone for a few days. She did a great job with my dog, Zoe. Even though Zoe can be a bit reactive and high energy, Haley handled her perfectly!”

“Maggie was absolutely great with my cat! She got to know her very quickly, was very attentive to her needs, and my cat immediately responded to her approach well and trusted her. Maggie sent regular, detailed updates and left the house very clean. I would definitely work with her again.”
“We appreciate Randee's excellent care of our three cats! She was fantastic and we will definitely invite her back. Not only were our cats very relaxed when we got home, it was obvious that Randee took excellent care of our home as well. Randee's communication while we were away certainly gave us a sense of peace knowing that our fur babies were in her good hands. She is a wonderful person, very caring and professional. I recommend her without hesitation!!”

About: I have hands on experience caring for my own cats and have also regularly taken care of dogs and cats for friends and families. I understand the importance of the pet’s routine as well as needs and personality. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, and providing attention and affection! I bring reliability to every visit while treating each pet as if they were my own. I am a graduate student at the University of Florida, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule. My schedule allows for time before and after classes to provide attentive pet care. I am able to plan around pet’s routines such as feeding, medication, and spending time with them! I provide attentive and responsible care for your pets by following all instructions given from the owners and maintaining a safe environment. I am careful to secure the home, keep routines consistent, and give the pets the time and attention they need.
“Hilary took great care of Onigiri. During the drop in visits, she made sure he had plenty of food and water, cleaned up his litterbox, played with him and took him on walks. The visits were timely and the pictures were wonderful!”
About: I currently don't have much professional experience with pet sitting, but I do have experience with being around others' pets and taking care of my own. Most of my real experience comes from taking care of my family's Australian Shepherd since I was a kid. We have gone on regular walks, maintained routines, and had plenty of playtime together. I'm currently working part-time and a full-time student. However, I still have plenty of time on my schedule throughout the week. I'll be able for walks or check-ins any time Tuesday-Friday. For boarding, the only set time that I have would be Fridays, but my schedule is always fluctuating and other days could also work. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For boarding, I make sure to keep it as safe and comfortable for the pet while following their normal schedule. I also keep in mind the cleanliness of the house to ensure that it's kept as a pet-friendly space. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get their neurons active, and look for any possible things I need to clean up. For walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe and engaged. I take into account how your pet reacts with other pets (or how you like to deal with it) and adjust the pace based on how they react to their surroundings. I understand the importance of following instructions carefully, so I can also provide updates to keep you at ease!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14. From checking up on and walking my neighbors' dogs, to bathing, walking, and driving my dog around to vet visits. I’m a full time student at UF available for walks, and drop-in visits on weekday mornings and afternoons, and walks, drop-in visits, and sitting on the weekends. My pets are like family to me. If they need anything I will take care of them. I keep an eye out for any dangers like open gates, other animals, and accessible food and garbage laying around.
About: I grew up surrounded by my pets, and when I came to the US for grad school I was at least relieved to know that they are with my family, in safe hands. They are 4 crazy dogs, ranging from seniors to young adults now. I miss them so much and will love spending time with your pets here, while also making some extra cash to send goodies to mine and my family. I will follow all your instructions and I'll love every second I get o spend with them. I cannot take them to my apartment at the moment, because my landlord doesn't allow pets, but I can go to your houses to take proper care of them as needed. Looking forward to hear from you and your amazing pets! I'm a PhD Student, working only on my research. My schedule is very flexible, and most of the times, I only need my computer to be able to work, which will allow me to work around your pets schedule. Unfortunately, the apartment where I live here doesn't allow pets, but I'm willing to go to their homes to feed them, play with them, take them out for walks, or anything as instructed by their owners.
“Veronica is pretty much amazing! Our cat Dexter is super shy around new people but he warmed up to Veronica instantly. She did a great job taking care of and loving on my 2 boys. Highly recommend her!!”
