Jonathan was great with my dog and very attentive to her needs. I highly recommend him for anyone needing either pet sitting or a daily dog walker.

About: i have been a huge lover of all animals for as long as i can remember. i’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, hedgehogs, snakes, and lizards. i have also pet sat many cats and dogs throughout my teenage years. i am very knowledgeable about the care for various types and ages of animals. i have done specialty care from puppies to seniors! i am currently job searching and have a very free schedule currently :) i am flexible and looking to help! i prefer more flexibility on weekends. when i care for animals not only do i ensure all their physical needs: fresh food, clean water, clean bowls, clean house, safety, exercise, play, but i also give emotional support. over the years i’ve learned to read animal body language very well, and i can adapt to give your pet the respect and love they deserve at their own pace.

Hilary took great care of Onigiri. During the drop in visits, she made sure he had plenty of food and water, cleaned up his litterbox, played with him and took him on walks. The visits were timely and the pictures were wonderful!

About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

About: Hi my name is Lindsay! I am currently a University of Florida Undergraduate studying Health Science and Deaf and Hearing Sciences. I've looked after cats and dogs for family and friends, and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Since I am a student at the University of Florida, I have some flexible in my availability—most afternoons and evenings during the week, all day on Thursdays, and full availability on weekends. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care situation—whether in my home or yours. I'm experienced in walking dogs safely and making sure they get the right amount of exercise for their breed and energy level. I also understand how important playtime is—not just for physical activity, but for mental stimulation and happiness. I always ensure pets are in a secure, stress-free environment and treated with the same love and care I give my own.

About: As a proud dog dad and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their fur babies while they’re away, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including check-ins, walks, playtime, treats, feeding, and plenty of companionship to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I also have a fenced backyard with space for pets to run around, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship to make sure pets stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also make time for regular exercise, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention so every pet gets the care they deserve.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and even an axolotl. I had a senior dog up until last year, so I am very familiar with caring for older dogs. I am also the designated cat sitter for my friend’s cat who is leash trained and loves going on walks! I am home for winter break until mid-January with absolutely no plans, so I am available most days and nights for dog walking, house sitting, etc.! I am highly communicative and trustworthy with numerous references. I care for your pets as if they are my own, and prioritize their safety and well-being.

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have spent years caring for my own, including both senior and medically fragile dogs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ve cared for dogs through all stages of life—from energetic companions to seniors needing extra patience and gentle handling. I also have experience with anxious dogs and know how to approach them calmly and respectfully to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and treated like family. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions you provide. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule and I am available throughout the day and most weekends. I can check in multiple times and provide multiple walks if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care needs. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with anxious or senior dogs, and I pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they feel safe and secure. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and keep dogs on leash at all times unless instructed otherwise. For drop-in visits, I make sure doors are secure, pets are safe, and everything is left just as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: An avid animal lover! I grew up with dogs. They loved me just as much as I loved them. My grandparents always had dogs since the time I was born. Their favorite one: German Rottweiler. They are beautiful dogs and so protective. I always helped my grandparents all the time with the dogs. We would have 6 or more dogs in the household all at once, so I have experience with having multiple dogs at once. Additionally, I can teach them tricks such as giving paw, sitting, laying, etc. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs as I know they required different type of care. I'll treat them like they are my own. I currently work full time during the weekdays, but I'm available after 6pm on the weekdays and all day availability on the weekends. I'll be able to provide the care they require. I don't have any dogs at home. However, I do have kids, so I understand the safety and how important it is to have a safe environment. However, currently not offering services to have dogs at my home at this time.

About: Ive grown up with my pets my entire life from having 2 dogs, 3 cats, fish, and a snake I love all animals! I decided to join this app after helping my friends in college take care of pets they were watching through Rover and looking for extra side income after having my son roughly two years ago. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, I’m no stranger to the crazy energy of a pet (or toddler😂) and I can’t wait to meet your furry fam and be crazy with them too! I have experience with puppies, teenagers, and even senior dogs as well! I have availability right after I get off work at 1:15pm every day, until I have to pick my son up from daycare at 3pm. Monday-Friday I’m open and am free to walk in the Jonesville/Newberry/Gainesville area! :) I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, but I will consider other services if you are a previously established client, just message me with requests! :)
