Cat Sitting Newberry

“My outdoor cat is very distrustful of strangers but Sierra actually got to see him when she stopped by to fill up his food bowl. Very appreciative of her care while I was gone and her comments and photos about her visit. Definitely can recommend her if you need someone to care for your pets.”

About: I have experience with puppies to adult dogs of varying energy and sizes. I can calmly handle reactivity. Experience with basic training. I care deeply for their happiness and will adjust myself to each pups personalities to give them the best attention and care they need. I currently work full time and start earlier in the morning. I am available before 7am for a stop by and available at 4:30pm to stop by or spend longer time with the fur family member. Weekends are completely open. I care for pets with care and attention. I will ask many questions regarding the current schedule the pet follows and any house rules. I will also request any specifications the pet might require or any tendencies to take note of. I will adjust for the animal’s needs to not throw them off their normal daily routines as much as possible to make them feel comfortable still in their own home.

About: I have been a veterinary technician/nurse for the past 13 years. My whole life is dedicated to animals and providing them compassionate care. I have worked in a general practice for the last 13 years working with companion animals (cats and dogs) but I have grown up with birds, ferrets, fish, turtles and hamsters. I also have a degree in agriculture and have cared for livestock. I truly love all animals and will always take care of each individual pet as if they were my own. I have a team of veterinary professionals that I can reach out to if there was ever an animal emergency or guidance needed. My goal is to make sure that while the pet parent is away, their loved ones are well cared for! Pet care is a daily staple for me: my job is very flexible and I am able to move my job around to tend to the needs of the pets I am caring for. Whether that’s me coming home on a regular basis or stopping by your home to a similar routine of your own. My goal is to achieve the same routine you would have while you’re home to give your loved ones the stable routine they’re used too! In home: I have property where I can take the dogs out on long walks and can play with them with a great deal of space. They will always have access to water and will feed them according to their set schedules. I have space for crates if your pets do better crated while inside and if I’m away. They will be smothered with cuddles and treats if I’m able to. Clients Home: I will make sure to adhere to the routine you have already established at home, whether that’s long walks or playing in the backyard. Stick to the feeding schedule and ensure they are stress free while you’re away.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I specialize in providing calm, loving, and reliable care, especially for larger dogs. I’m known in my Gainesville community for being attentive, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to each pet’s comfort and happiness. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so you can expect frequent photos, videos, and updates throughout every visit. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed, and that you feel complete peace of mind. I have been taking care of large dogs for over 20 years, primarily standard poodles but I adore all breeds. I am known in Gainesville's Woodland Villa Apartments complex for my reputation as a great doggy and kitty caregiver. I have worked with several different canine clients, from large Dobermans to medium Pitbulls to a small corgi-beagle mix, I have worked with all sorts of pups! I have 3 cats, one of which turned 22 years old (human years) on October 22, 2025. I have had her and been taking care of her since she was 2 years old. I believe love and extraordinary care can truly make pets happier and last longer. After all, I have seen it with my own! I am happy to spend time with, walk, play, feed, and wholeheartedly love your pet(s) while you are away! I work hard to make it an easy and relaxing process for you, so that you can leave feeling your furry friend is in great hands! I will ask questions and make sure all the details are there, so you don't have to. I also am happy to help with other smaller friends! In my caregiving experience, I have fed frogs, tadpoles, and plants, alongside the dogs and cats! If you have another living creature that needs some attention and upkeep, I am so happy to offer my care as part of my services! **Please look forward to lots of videos, photos, and updates of your happy pet(s)!!!** As a pet owner myself, I know how much it matters to stay connected and updated! You will ALWAYS be in the know! I am super flexible and I am a full time remote student, so I am happy to work on schoolwork while I hang out with your pet(s) for longer stays (up to 8 hours) or I can easily plan my schoolwork around when I will be visiting (I will do this automatically for visits less than 2 hours)! Your preferences are what I will be happy to work around! For all clients, I require a planned meet and greet where I will meet your pet(s) and determine whether we'll be a compatible team. For dogs, I ask to go on a short walk during this time with the owner(s). During this time, we will go over their routine, all no-nos, food, treats, toys, emergency info, and any additional information you think I should know. With your permission, I will record this session of my phone so that I can generate a transcript and make a care routine document for you, so that you won't have to. You will also get a copy of this document that you can pass to others!

“Kate was great and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She responds quickly, is very understanding, and was available for me in a pinch. A lot of people are intimidated by Geno's size, and he still very much has a lot of "puppy energy" in him, so it's not always easy to find someone who embraces a big furry dog. Her drop in visit was perfect, and Geno was thrilled!”

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: Pets are a huge part of my life. I currently have a dog named Ava and a cat named pistol. I have had multiple pets throughout my life. I enjoy getting to spend time with other anaimals as well. I am big on “doggy manners” and am good at teaching them to your furry friend. During my visits, I will walk, play and spend time with your dog/cat. I have walked many dogs, and enjoy connecting with them all. I’m available in the mornings and afternoons, and sometimes in the middle of day depending on the day of the week. I look forward to getting to know your furry companion 🤍🤎 Im currently a stay at home mom. My child attends school from 8-3. I am a student; but like to take a few breaks a day to go out. I have a fenced in yard. We spray our yard for ticks and other mites to prevent them, and regularly take our animals to the vet.

About: Hi! I’m Bekah, and I split time between Gainesville and Crystal River, where pets have access to a spacious fenced farm property. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my whole life, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. My family has multiple dogs and cats, and I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience and attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets like my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, or a calm environment while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for 😊 Pet care is part of my daily routine. I feed, walk, and check in on my dogs and cats every day. I’m used to handling different needs like playtime, medication, and keeping things clean and comfortable. Caring for animals feels natural to me and I’m always attentive to what each pet needs Whether I’m watching pets at my place or theirs, I stick to their routines and follow any special instructions. I make sure they get fed on time, get enough exercise, and take any meds they need. I keep things calm and comfortable so they feel safe, and I’m always paying attention to what they need, whether that’s play, rest, or just some quiet time

Took a break from sitting to finish grad school but ready to get back into take care of some cute pets again! I am a graduate student and I play roller derby. Aside from that I am available from Thursday through Sunday! On Thursdays I am available until 4pm. My cats are strictly indoor cats now. They are very well taken care of with plenty of space in my apartment, a window for them to look outside, and a cat tree for when they want to climb something.

I want to make sure that people have no worries when it comes to having to leave there pet for work or travel. Open availability and free time spend time with them and the puppies and older dogs walk with them play ball etc give them all the Love Love spending time with my dog giving treats play with them outside and throwing the Ball to them love puppy’s and animals keep them safe

About: I have an extensive background with all types of pets, even owning 15 types of big and small animals growing up myself. I’ve watched numerous breeds of dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends and I am dedicated to treating each pet with individuality tailored care. I have a flexible schedule as a part time barista and college student, and the earlier my notice is the more I can do for your furry friends. I make it my priority to check on my own furry friends as much as possible. Health is a top priority, but cuddles are always added if the pet permits them.

About: I have taken care of a multitude of breeds and animals throughout my life. Growing up I had a teacup poodle named Clara Bow. I later had an english bulldog named Lulu. During my years in high school through present time, my family dogs include a Dalmatian, a Cavalier King Charles, and a new addition Toy Poodle. Dog walking and caring has been a task I have enjoyed and attended to since I was only a child. I have experience with pitbull breeds, as well as older dogs who may need medicine administered, diapers, etc. I look forward to taking amazing care of your cute pups! I am a college student so my schedule is different depending on the season. I bounce around between Fort Lauderdale, Gainesville, and Ocala, Florida. I work part time and have availability for walking, sitting, drop ins, etc on most days of the week. I currently own a cat of my own and she will be a year old in October. No matter which location I am in, my home is filled with comfort, cleanliness, and calm. In Fort Lauderdale there are the two dogs I mentioned, my family dalmation and cavalier king charles. My cat comes wherever I go, but when tending to services in Ocala and Gainesville it is just my one cat in the home.

About: I grew up being surrounded by all different breeds and sizes of dogs and currently have one myself. I used to volunteer at the humane society walking/playing/interacting with both cats and dogs/puppies! I also have experience working at a doggy daycare where I was in charge of the big dog play yard (50+ lbs) and there were numerous dogs in that yard at any given time. I was able to create and maintain a safe environment for them by picking up on cues/body language to keep everyone happy and healthy! I occasionally rotated with the small and medium dog play yards as well. I was also tasked with providing medications and food to all of our boarding dogs during down time. I loved every minute of it! I am currently available all days of the week at most times. I do have 2 of my own dogs that I will need to be available for. As your fur baby's walker, I can assure you that they will receive just as much love and care as they do at your home. I am responsible and will clean up after them, I will make sure they are safe and if necessary will avoid others walking with animals. I will not walk your dog on asphalt if it is above a certain degree. If I cannot hold my hand on the ground for more than a few seconds, your baby can't walk on it.

About: I've loved and taken care of all different kinds of animals my whole life! I started at 14 taking care of horses in my 4-H club. I've grown up living with dogs, cats and even a bird or two. After I turned 20, I finally got my very first personal dog. I love her more than life itself! I am currently part time employed and job hunting! I am taking this time to grow as a person and possibly start my own business. I am in college part time for business, but I always make time for the important things in life (loving on my pup) I know what it’s like to need to be away from your baby. I have a large fenced yard for your pup to run and/or a large, cozy bed for them to snooze. Whatever fits your pup best!
