Jonathan was great with my dog and very attentive to her needs. I highly recommend him for anyone needing either pet sitting or a daily dog walker.

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.

When my dogs don’t know someone, they bark non-stop. However, Noah was very patient with Harry and Dobby and stayed in touch with me the whole time to keep me updated on them. Thank you so much!

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 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.

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 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!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I used to take care of my neighbors dogs when I was younger. I also have spent time volunteering at local shelters and farms helping out with the animals there. My wife is a travel nurse, so we are in Gainesville for a few months. I am not working while we are traveling, so I’m available from 7am-9pm 7 days a week. I believe in long walks and rewards for good behavior. I will give your pets all the attention they deserve, and I’m sure I will have lots in common with them!

Julie was willing to come over for a meet and greet on her own time before walking our dog, Posie, and has been incredibly reliable and communicative every time she's worked for us since. She follows instructions carefully and always send updates and photos. Posie loves her! Highly recommended.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes, from puppies until they cross the rainbow bridge. I love enriching my dogs’ lives and would do the same for yours :) I’m currently a student at UF studying Behavioral Psychology and would love to apply my knowledge in the field to assist with any behavioral needs! I’m currently working part-time and will be available many times a week, almost all afternoons/evenings and a few mornings. The longest I would be away is 8 hours. In my home, I currently care for two cats. I have harness trained one and we go for frequent walks, while my other kitty stays home with enriching activities like lick mats, puzzles, and more. My older cat has a few chronic health issues which I administer medication orally and optically for. To care for pets in your home, I would love to set up enrichment games, plan walks out, and offer amateur training experience! Every pet has different needs of course, so my care is specialized to your special one’s needs.

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! :)
