Cat Sitting in O'Brien

“Jenna is absolutely amazing! We just moved to the area and had to unexpectedly get a sitter for a week with only a few days notice. She worked with us on our limited time table and went out of her way to meet our pups and make us feel comfortable. Throughout the week she cared for them, She stayed in communication with us and left wonderful notes with multiple pictures so we stayed updated. Instead of just letting our 3 dogs out and refilling water, she truly took the extra time to play with them and give them lots of cuddles. They began sitting at the window looking for her excitedly around the hour she comes! I'm so happy to have found someone who my dogs adore and who I know will go the extra mile to care for them. Definitely recommend Jenna for anyone who needs a sitter!”

“Leah is amazing with my dogs! She takes them out three times a week for an hour, and they always come back happy and well-exercised. She’s reliable and truly cares. Highly recommend!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Tina! She takes such amazing care of my dogs and treats them as if they’re her own. From the daily updates to her kind and attentive nature, I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. My dogs absolutely love her, and I can tell she genuinely loves them too. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced, she’s the one!”

“Pauline was great with my dogs, they had to warm up a bit but that was expected. She was on time and satisfied my needs for pet care. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pets while out of town.”

About: Very experienced caring for all types of animals including farm animals and birds. I own a farm with lots of rescue animals and used to rehabilitate injured & abandoned wildlife for release back into the wild. You can see more about my farm on instagram KokomoFarms I am self employed /semi-retired so I make my own hours and I have plenty of time to care for your babies. I am available all day and night to care for them. Pets that are staying with us will be staying in the home and have a nice comfy area to call temporary home :) For stays in your home, I am Vegan, clean and know how to take initiative if any situation may arise that needs to be taken care of. I will be happy to cuddle with your pet and take very good care of them.

About: For as long as I can remember, there has always been animals in my house, but the last 13 years are where my real growth has happened for me as a pet parent and carer. In my own home, there’s always been a variety from dogs to hedgehogs to cats to lizards. I have often found myself as a haven for wayward creatures in need of respite. I have experience caring for, raising, and training puppies as well as caring for senior dogs. I work full time as a teacher but I am often around on the weekends and evenings and am happy and able to make pets a part of my routine! Any space I am in is always treated with the upmost respect— I don’t touch what isn’t mine, I don’t touch what I don’t need to. Integrity and honesty are paramount. If there is an issue with anything, I of course will be upfront about it, as that is what I would expect and want from anyone in my home. Trusting me to come into your home is a big deal, and I would never want to jeopardize your peace of mind.

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.

“Brittany was amazing with our dogs. She was prompt, took our big boy for walks and sent us pictures everyday. She was also very understanding with our little old man and his special needs. We will be definitely be using her again.”

About: I have lived with animals my whole life; from chickens, cats, emus, dogs, etc. I can accommodate special needs and will always treat your animals as my own - with love and respect! I am tolerant of behavioral issues, shy animals, and animals with disorders or disabilities. I’ve been taught to take care and provide for animals my whole life. I’ve grown up with a wide variety of dog breeds, from Pit-Bulls, Beagles, Huskies, Shih Tzus, Rat Tarriers, Dachshunds, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I am available most of the time, and keep my calendar detailed so I can share with you what days I’m available months in advance! I spend most of my time in Alachua, Gainesville, & Branford but can accommodate longer distances with longer stays. Most weekends I am free, and I can easily do drop-in visits nearby! I care for each animal based on the owners needs and requests. I appreciate having a heads up on your pets typical behaviors and habits, and any “rules” you may like them to follow.
