About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly love all breeds and personalities. Your dog will feel safe, loved, and well cared for every visit. I offer walks tailored to your dog’s needs—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn energy. I’m also experienced with administering both oral and topical medications.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for pets in every stage of life and with a variety of unique needs. I’ve cared for newborn kittens, expecting mother cats, and senior cats with anxiety, so I understand the patience and individualized attention they require. I also have a special interest in large working breeds and enjoy providing the structure, enrichment, and care they thrive on. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for farm animals. I’m highly attentive, reliable, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Every pet is different, so I take the time to listen to your needs and provide flexible, personalized care to help both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the flexibility to create my own schedule. This allows me to dedicate the time and attention each pet deserves, whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, providing midday visits, or accommodating last-minute requests whenever possible. I enjoy making pet care a priority and ensuring every pet receives reliable, personalized care. I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

About: I have taken care of my families dogs on and off for many years, small and large. I am a very good listener, tell me the rules and I will enforce them. I am a part time college student, Monday and Wednesday afternoons, so I can spend nights those days keeping watch, but the rest of the week? Fully free. 24 hr care. I am quick to adapt my environment once pointed around, I can send scheduled updates on how your "little guy" is doing throughout the day.

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 on a farm always around a bunch of animals and have always loved dogs. I have a big fenced back yard & live in a nice gated community which is perfect for walks. I’m available most of the week and weekends. I’m home all day as well as other members of the family, so even if I have somewhere to be your pet will never be unattended to. I am a non-smoker and I have reliable transportation. Your dogs will always feel at home and feel part of the family. Look forward to loving on your fur baby!

About: Wilbert and I have cared for animals our entire lives, from small pets like rodents and birds, dogs and cats to horses and livestock of all sizes. Our goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. We both hold bachelor’s degrees in Animal Science and have hands-on experience working in veterinary settings, which allows us to provide attentive and knowledgeable care. I provide dedicated, focused attention during each visit and treat every pet and home with respect and responsibility. I keep routines consistent and make sure pets feel secure and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow house guidelines and I’m very mindful about cleanliness and organization, I make it a priority to leave the home tidy and in excellent condition after each visit. Visits are typically extended and can be scheduled multiple times per day or customized based on your pet’s needs. During visits I handle feeding, enrichment, companionship, cleanup, and well-being checks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention and timely visits. I plan my calendar carefully so I’m not overbooked and can give each household focused, reliable care. I’m available for extended daytime and evening visits and can provide multiple visits per day based on your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress for pets. I remain only in authorized areas of the home and am very mindful about cleanliness and security, I make it a point to leave the home tidy and well maintained after each visit. With my Animal Science background and veterinary setting experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, appetite, hydration, and general health. I take precautions with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and medication directions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while away.

About: Graduating in 2018 with my Associates in Veterinary Technology and Applied Sciences, I formerly pursued a career in the Veterinary Field where I specialized in Small Animal Nursing. I have fond memories/experiences working at private practices and even Veterinary Teaching Hospitals (ask me about the Giraffe 🦒) I have since gone into another career field , but after many years of working with animals and volunteering at dog rescues, my passion for loving the furry (and not furry) still grows strong! I also love the outdoors, I thrive off of fresh air! This means I spend a lot of my free time on nature trails. It would be really nice to have a companion once in a while! If interested, please reach out for more information Thanks! 🐾 **VILLAGERS** I will be available when I am in town ***Ocala*** I will be available in the evenings a few days a week if the weather permits. I can walk your neighborhood or go to a nearby nature trail Owner MUST provide harness and non-retractable leash. This is beneficial for control and prevents injury to trachea. Please also provide your pets favorite treats and water bowl for diet/allergy safety and disease prevention. I will bring fresh water for the walk.

“It's excellent.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Right now, I have a cat and a dog at home, and I’ve fostered many cats, kittens, and senior dogs over the years. My goal is to spoil your pet while in my care, and be their home away from home. I’m available for pet boarding in my home every day, and I’d love to meet you and show you around during a meet-and-greet. I also now offer drop-in visits and doggy day care! I take a lot of pride in being honest, flexible, and responsible, so you know your fur baby is in good hands! I'm home full-time, which means your pet will have constant care and attention throughout the day. If they’re still potty training, they’ll receive regular, consistent breaks. For pets who are already trained, they’ll be free to explore and socialize with my dog, Odie. With me around all day, your pet will enjoy fresh air, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of love whenever they need it. I have a secure fenced in yard, and my Yorkie is here to keep your baby company. I’m more than willing to administer any necessary medication, but please note that if crating is required, you’ll need to provide the crate.

About: I have owned a pit bull for the past five years, so I fully understand the energy and responsibility that can come with caring for a strong and spirited dog. In addition to this, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a variety of other breeds, including a Chihuahua, Golden Retriever, and several Labradors. Each one has been a joy to look after—friendly, affectionate, and full of personality. By the end of the day, they were happy, well-exercised, and ready to rest. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule. My mornings and evenings are consistently available, while my afternoon availability can vary from day to day. However, I am reliably available for morning and evening care every day, if needed. I will walk your dog only in the areas you designate and for the distance you are comfortable with. Your dog’s safety is my top priority by always maintain a respectful distance from other dogs and people to avoid overstimulation or potential incidents. I also carry a backup leash in case of emergency, as well as waste bags to ensure the area is kept clean.

“This is my first review on Rover. Ashley helped us out big time by booking sort of last minutes dates with her. Everything was posted on Rover. No issues occurred.”

About: Living on a farm back at home has given me a strong love for animals. My main goal when I’m around animals is to make sure they are comfortable and feeling safe. Pets are here to make us happy but I want the same for them as well! 💝 I am currently a full time student at the College of Charleston and start classes around 11pm everyday. I have breaks in the afternoon between classes and am done most days around 5, if not earlier. Morning, lunch, and evening would be how I would fit pet care into my daily routine. I want the pets i care for to feel comfortable with me in their home. I don’t want them to feel like I’m taking over their safe space and their territory. I want them to have trust with me.
