9. Katelyn E.
“We booked Katelyn for twice daily visits for 7 days for our “stranger shy” semi-feral stray rescue, to keep his routines while we were gone. Kittie Kat was happy, healthy, and content when we returned - no signs of stress. She was there every day - very reliable and very reassuring for us. She took time to learn his favorite spots and left treats there for enrichment and monitor that he was out and about, in addition to feeding, water changes, litter box scooping, and toy shifting. Kiddie gradually felt safe enough to make appearances for photos! After severe storms and flooding in the area, Katelyn went above and beyond, checking the area around the house for flooding and branches down, and a daily mailbox check. Thanks, Katelyn!!! Thanks for the mail service and the grounds check.”
10. Lindsay A.
“I've used Lindsay multiple times to watch my fur babies all 3 golden retrivers from pups to now over a year old.. I've needed daytime sitting and she will take for walks, go to the park for playdates or usual fetch and backyard fun. She just loves on them and they love her. . She even watched all 3 for a week while we vacationed!. She is truly the best and whenever she comes all 3 run to her and tails wag and they are just so excited to see her. I definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
11. Kymberly C.
“Kymberly helped us so much when we first moved here. No kitchen, particularly constructed fence and more issues at our new home and we had to drive to a wedding in Gainesville! She came to meet us and then came in twice while we were at the wedding. She did super great and our dog did super great as well!”
12. Emily H.
“Emily did a great job taking care of my kids. I will definitely book again.”
13. Joseph P.
About: I am well used to high drive pups. I grew up around German shepherds and Malinois they have a special place in my heart. I was raised on a farm making sure cattle and all different types of animals were taken very good care. In addition worked as a kennel tech at a doggie daycare. I am a full time college student but I only have classes for intervals of a hour or so other than that I am fully flexible to take care of your babies. Caring for them by staying on the owners feeding schedule. Making sure they have time to spend playing or using the bathroom, and if given permission I don’t mind taking them on walks. I have a standard poodle and a goldendoodle and treat them as if they were my kids.
14. Jenna M.
“Jenna was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! I have lots of dogs and some with special needs but she was great with all of them. Would highly recommend her!”
15. Lauren N.
About: I have 1 sweet dog who loves other dogs, a large fenced back yard, doggie door, chew toys galore, treats, a swimming pool where the pooches go for a swim if they love water, and I have an energetic 9 year old that loves to play with our dogs and will give your dog(s) the exercise they need. Have your loved ones come join us for fun and play without being cooped up in a kennel all day. I will give your dog the comfort and love they deserve. I also play calming music for dogs and puppies if they tend to be anxious. I will provide basic obedience training for FREE if your dog boards with us and needs it. Your pooch will be in good hands with my pack and I. Photos of them will be posted on Rover or texted to you during their stay. I currently work part-time at home and volunteer a few hours in the week. I mostly work from home as an online teacher and am off on the weekends. I have plenty of time to entertain and play with your fur babies. The most popular service booked is overnight boarding. Come meet my family and pets, and see if your dog loves our family just as much as we love having them. I treat the dogs like family and they can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. I have 3 dog beds in my livingroom, they can sleep in my bedroom or I have 3 kennels. During play time, I have a fenced in yard and a fenced pool area. I do flexible feeding arrangements for dogs who need to eat seperated from other dogs. I usually do 1 booking at a time.

“Marybeth was absolutely wonderful. She sent me daily text updates including pictures describing my cats' mood and behaviour. It was clear that my cats accepted her and liked her fairly quickly (which is not normal for them) I felt that she truly cared about them and about me personally. I feel lucky that I met her. I have not experienced thoughtfulness and kindness like hers before. Thank you Marybeth!”
19. Caroline F.

She also has a gret backround caring for our loved ones, great knowledge, pro active, smart and thoughtful. In all honestly she is truly the very best. Your furry babies needs and your needs as a parent will be 100% cared for with Caroline,”
