About: I have a flexible schedule! I am willing to work with you to give your dog the best care possible and make life easier for you! Dogs are welcome on furniture for cuddles and comfort. There is plenty of space inside for them to roam AND a patio/backyard area for fresh air. There is also a dog park in the neighborhood for your dog to play with other dogs if you want him/her dog to socialize. Exercising a dog isn’t always important! I have experience training dogs. I have been assisting in training future guide dogs for the past 3 years. I would love to take in your cute pups even if they are not potty trained; I have experience and am willing to help potty train or any other forms of training you would like your pup to continue while you are away. I am also willing to administer any medications your dog needs during his/her stay. I am here to make your life easier and give your dog the best experience possible! I will play, walk, cuddle, and love all fur babies! Dogs of any age (as long as they have some vaccinations), size, and gender are welcome in here!

About: If you're looking for a truly reliable, adaptable and hard working petsitter - that's me! I'm an honest and simple person - I love spending time with dogs and cats so I'd never cut my services short. I feel very drawn to animals and feel passionate about caring for them so their well-being is my duty and I will care for them like my own. I have worked for a petsitting company for over three years here in Gainesville and 2 years back in Finland before I moved here - working with lots of different kinds of dogs (big, small, energetic, traumatized ones etc) and cats (some very spicy ones). I provide anything your pet needs - energetic walks, cuddles, playtime , feeding, medications etc! I'm not afraid of challenges and will happily figure out what service works best for you and your fur baby <3 I'm a stay-at-home-mom transitioning back to work life this summer. Me and my husband take care of our 7 month old baby boy together as he works mostly from home and has a very flexible schedule. Integrating parenting and work is my number 1 priority so I'm happy work around my clients schedules. I have a big fenced yard, 3 acres of woods and access to lots of trails and a dog park close to our home by the prairie. I'm an outdoorsy person so I love long walks if that's what your pup needs. As a mom of two cats I'm very familiar with cat care - be it fierce playtime, cuddles or respectful distance. With all pets I give them time to feel safe with me and I'm always read their body language to ensure they feel comfortable.

About: I’m a second-year veterinary student at the University of Florida with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have dog sat numerous times for friends, neighbors, and families, including extended stays lasting several weeks. Through veterinary school and personal experience, I’m comfortable monitoring pets closely, administering basic medications if needed, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week at all hours of the day to meet your pet’s needs. If you’re looking for a long-term sitter, I will also make sure to prioritize time for your pup during the school year (August–May). When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, and staying active or prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that best fits their personality and needs. As a veterinary student with experience pet sitting for extended periods of time, I’m very attentive to animals’ behavior, routines, and overall well-being. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household routines to ensure your pet is cared for exactly the way they are at home. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I also enjoy sending regular photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away.

About: I have had my own dogs and cats my whole life and currently have one dog and one cat. I worked at an animal shelter through high school with all kinds of dogs and cats and am comfortable with pretty much anything they can throw at me. Sometimes accidents happen and it’s ok and sometimes they get scared when new people are around which is totally understandable. I’m very comfortable being patient with any animal who needs a little extra love and understanding. I am currently a full time student and usually my day is pretty open on any day I don’t have class and in between my classes. I have two pets of my own who I get up early to take care of before class and always make sure I’m home to take care of after class. Weekends that I’m not visiting family are usually completely free as well. In a client’s home, the most important thing for any nervous pet will be respecting boundaries. I have a nervous girl dog and girl cat so I totally understand when they are a little hesitant to new people. But if they are sociable and want plenty of love I can absolutely give that too. I am very good at reading their body language and actions to determine what they want or need in the moment and will absolutely respect that their space if they want that.

About: I have 17 years of animal care experience from growing up on a farm to volunteering at many animal shelters. Experience with walking and feeding cats and dogs, training, medication administration, bathing, and play time. I am an animal lover and have owned animals most of my life. I am comfortable with all types of animals and am very mindful of their individual personalities. I am currently a student who is home full time and able to provide lots of attention to animals. I am free most of the day to take pets to the park or on walks depending on their needs. I have a large yard for animals to run around safety and live in a gated community. I am open to crating or letting pets free in my home depending on the owner's preference. My husband and I have no kids or other pets so they will get our undivided attention.

“Poseidon had a great time and burned a lot of energy walking with her. She mixed it up well between walks and a visit to the dog park, and gave good reports on the walks.”

About: Hi! My name is Isabel, and I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Florida. Before veterinary school, I worked as a small, equine, and exotic animal veterinary technician. I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. With my veterinary background, I am comfortable caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets with medical needs. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, so I do my best to make you and your pet comfortable from the start. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers the couch, I am happy to adapt to their needs and routines. I also prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am currently working part-time in the mornings, so I have plenty of time to check in on your pets in the afternoons and evenings! I care for pets in their home by prioritizing consistency and individualized care. I know pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine (feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, etc). I also take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs to make them feel most comfortable. I treat every client’s home with respect by keeping things clean, following all care instructions, and providing regular updates. With my veterinary background, I am also comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or wellbeing.

I have a full time job at mederi private care as an hha but its a very flexible schedule and i will be able to do overnights and days I would treat everyones pets as if they were mine and with a great attitude giving them frequent walks and even letting them have their zoomy time

About: I’ve work with dogs and other animals for the last 8 years. From puppies to seniors and everything in between. I’ve also helped train a few service dogs and actively show and compete in sports with my own dog. My life is centered around my dog and I work from home. I can be extremely flexible to fit almost any need or rigorous schedule. I have an apartment by myself, with my 1 dog, with nice trails and fenced in areas to let pets play off leash. I also have different enrichment toys and other exercises for physical and mental stimulation.

About: I have TONS of personal experience with animals and I am great with them! My family has had numerous pets my entire life; I grew up with my step mom being a vet technician and was therefore always exposed to the deep details of pet ownership. Additionally, my family bred American Bullies for several years. From this, I gained lots of experience working with a wide variety of dogs - seniors, puppies, nursing and pregnant mamas, sick or injured dogs, aggressive dogs, etc. I have a complete understanding of boundaries with animals and have a very quick and accurate response to an animals’ mood swing or change in behavior. Additionally, I am capable and confident in administering medications to any pet! I am a Gainesville local and an elementary school teacher! I am available most weekends to come take care of your pets! I am happy to drop in and check on them or take them out for walks I am used to taking care of cats and dogs of any size, breed, or temperament! Additionally I am confident walking dogs of any kind.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, including having had cats, dogs, fish, and as a pet. I am familiar with caring for older animals that have lost the ability to fully care for themselves, caring for puppies or kittens, and pets with disabilities (blind, or sick etc.). So I am qualified to care for a pet at any age and just about any level of health! I work my own hours at my job and I have no scheduled weekly activities so I am free to come by and help at almost any day/time! I care for my cat at home by spending time with her playing and cuddling when I am free, letting her curl up with me in bed, and having her sit with me while I cook or do homework! In a client's home I would be interacting with the pets, feeding them, walking them to give them good exercise (for applicable pets), giving them cuddles and love, and providing a safe, clean space for them!

About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I’ve raised my own chocolate lab the past 9 years as well as having dogs my whole life back home. I am a graduate student in Gainesville with very flexible class schedule at the end of week and have weekends free! I’m home a lot outside of class time. I live in an apartment complex by myself with the company of my chocolate lab to keep your pup entertained! We go on many walks and to the dog park to get all the energy out.

“Madison's wonderful! She's a sweetheart with our dog, and super patient when our dog is slow to trust strangers coming in to walk her. Thank you!!”

About: I have experience with pet sitting for about four years now. This includes cat sitting, dog sitting/walking, and even working at a doggy daycare for a year and a half! I currently work and am a student at the University of Florida! I am still pretty flexible on my time, so reach out and we can work something out! Like stated earlier, I have many years of experience of pet sitting from different clients and work places. I have gained knowledge from each place that I plan to use for the safety and well being of any future clients! pets

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 18 years, since I was six years old! I understand that pets are members of the family, and I will treat your pets with care and compassion! I can walk, run, play or do whatever is necessary to make your pets happy! I work from home with flexibility, so I am available at most hours of the day to walk. In the evenings, I am free whenever for home stays. I can care for pets in my clients homes. There is a potential they can stay in my home for short stays as well, which is in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.

About: Hi! My name is Teagan and I am a certified veterinary assistant. I have grown up being around dogs and cats of all ages and size. I have experience fostering bottle babies as well as older dogs and cats. I can administer oral medication as well as intravenous medications. I am currently a student at the University of Florida. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to ensure that your fur babies are getting the care they deserve. I offer drop in visits as well as dog walk services and services in my own home. I will ensure your fur babies are well taken care of. I will follow your care instructions.

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!
