Dog Sitting in Ocklawaha

About: Hello, my name is Olivia. I am a 26 year old who has a passion for taking care of animals. I have one dog, her name is Ella. Ella is a medium sized mixed breed. I have been around animals for my entire life, mostly medium to large sized dogs. I’ve also cared for an abundance of cats, hamsters, fish, etc. I have always had a soft spot for helping out those who needed a sitter for their dog, whether it was for 2 hours or even a week! I am working part time in Ocala, but would enjoy the opportunity to help out in my off time. I would love to have the opportunity to grow my reputation as a dog sitter in the community, while doing what I love the absolute most!! I currently work full time throughout the week, but I am able and willing to work around my schedule to help those in need :) I treat every home I enter like it is my own. I am very respectful of others’ spaces and property, as well as their fur babies.

About: Truthfully, I have always taken to animals. The world is full of terrible things— but animals just simply aren’t one of them. When I was 14 I began rehabbing animals — and not just dogs (squirrels, raccoons, opossums, chinchillas, sugar gliders, etc) and my name was on the vet’s list so they called when they needed a fostering spot for them. I didn’t make money then, I just did it because if I didn’t, then who would’ve? I have a 2 year old now, and I can’t take on as many rehabbing projects, but we still very much enjoy the company of a full home with animals. They are loved on, treated with respect, and the goal is to make them excited for their next play date. I don’t have reviews yet, because I am just starting on this app! But I have, personally, saved over 15 animals at 23 years old, and it’s something that I’m proud of. I feel confident that your pet will be cared for with my family— as we will treat it like our own! There is nearly always a person in my household. Furthermore, I just treat the extra pet the same way I treat my puppy! Two is not really much more difficult then one… haha! I have a 6-foot privacy fence. I have a heavy-duty collar and leash for walks (this helps to engage the dogs and allow them to release energy). I have a fully metal barred large crate in case the dog requires some peace and quiet. I have a four by three foot dog bed with blankets for the pups to relax on. There is ALWAYS water down, and if I have to feed, then dogs eat separately— as I don’t ever put dogs in a situation where they feel they need to be defensive or on guard. Contrary to people’s belief, dogs don’t need toys. I have them, but I don’t keep them down because if two dogs are present and they go for the same one, it could cause an unintentional fight. I add this information not to scare, but to actually put pet owners at ease. I am extremely experienced when it comes to breeds of dogs—their needs, their desires, and what makes them unique! More importantly, I respect them, and put them in a respectful environment where they feel comfortable,

“We contacted Hailey at the last minute to come see our pup and let him run around for a while. She booked quickly, stayed in touch, and took great care of Gozer!”

I generally never travel for holidays, so keep me in mind when the time comes for that as well please! I have two pups-6 and 11 year old pit bulls that LOVE to play with other dogs. They both go to daycare every week and would love to meet your pups if that is something you would be comfortable with as well. If not, no worries, I understand!

About: Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I tailor my care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've worked with a variety of breeds including Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, and rescue dogs. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or specialized attention, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I've worked with Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, rescues, and more. I love going on walks while listening to music or audiobooks, so adding a friendly dog companion is never a hassle! Whether your pup wants to stop and smell every smell or needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm also available for drop-in visits to check on your pet, let them out in the backyard, or provide midday company. For cat parents: I understand that cats need patience and respect. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, including seniors requiring medication like steroid treatments every other day. I always let cats come to me on their own time—no forced cuddles, just calm, reliable care. Unfortunately, I'm not offering boarding at my home right now, but I'm happy to provide walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your place! Since I'm currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the client's home, I focus on making your pet feel comfortable and keeping their normal routine. For dogs: I follow your feeding schedule, take them on walks that match their energy level (whether that's a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a brisk energy-burner), and provide plenty of playtime and attention. I'm happy to let them out in the backyard for potty breaks and will stick to any special instructions you have. For cats: I respect their independence and let them approach me on their own timeline. I'll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and medication if needed. I'm experienced giving treatments like steroids to senior cats. General care: I'll send you photos and updates so you know your pet is doing well. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust blinds to keep your home looking lived-in while you're away. My goal is to provide stress-free care so your pet stays happy and comfortable in their own environment, and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

“Tammy did a wonderful job watching my chihuahua, Sassy. This was the first time I have had to leave her and Tammy came twice a day and sat with her and gave her her food and loved on her. She sent me daily pictures which helped with my anxiety about having to be away. When the need arises I will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and am a proud cat and dog mom at home. I currently work in cat care at a local shelter, where I spend my mornings caring for cats of all personalities — from shy and scared to playful and affectionate. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, litter care, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m especially patient with nervous or timid cats and always let animals warm up at their own pace. I also have experience caring for dogs, including walks, playtime, and basic care.

I have the most availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and can accommodate a variety of times for drop-in visits and dog walks. I like to keep Fridays as a personal day, but may occasionally be available depending on the request. I always do my best to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home, and I treat both your space and your pets with the utmost care and respect. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences your pet may have. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and overall safety to ensure your pet is always secure. I have experience working with animals of different temperaments, including shy or nervous pets, and I always move at their pace to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. 🧡 On occasion my husband, Sean, may accompany me during visits. He is also very calm, respectful, and loves animals, but I will always communicate this in advance to ensure you’re comfortable.
