About: I have always been around animals since I was little varying from small dogs to big dogs and to cats. I’ve always done my best to care and love each of those animals so they feel loved and cared for. I’m currently in cosmetology school part time and working but depending on how this goes I would love to do this more I attend school tue-Thursday 4pm-7:30pm and Saturday 9:30am-5:00pm but I would love to squeeze in anything available! I treat them as my own so I will love them and take care of them 1000% as I would my own as every animal deserves the best care and love to make them feel comfortable especially when their best friend(s) or parents are away or just need a little potty break.

“Kathleen was great! Super responsive about checking in and did a great job taking care of my boys!”

About: With over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and three years with cats, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I meet. As a proud pet parent to a playful Pitbull, a loyal King Shepherd, a curious Tabby, and a cuddly Calico, I truly understand the unique needs and personalities that come with each breed and species. I’m experienced with everything from puppy energy to senior pet routines, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medications, and hygiene. Whether you’re away for a weekend or just need daily support, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention Pet care is part of my everyday life. As a pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I’m already on a daily schedule that includes morning walks, feeding routines, playtime, and grooming. I structure my days around their needs, which makes it easy to integrate the care of other pets into my routine. Whether it’s early morning check-ins, midday walks, or evening feedings, I’m flexible and fully committed to making sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s how I live. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. Walks are tailored to their pace and energy, and drop-ins include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of love. I also make sure your home stays secure and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe.

“Thank you for taking such great care of Mike and Archie!!”

About: Since middle school, I have grown up caring for many different animals. I was responsible for the care of my pets; including two rabbits, three guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and four snakes. All of these pets lived a very lavish and spoiled life. During high school, I used my volunteer hours fostering dogs, rehabilitating them for their forever homes. The care for these dogs included feeding, walking/playing, training, and medical care. I started working in the veterinary medicine field almost two years ago. This field has given me the experience of providing compassionate medical care, no matter the patient. I am now a full time student studying for radiology. I am a full time student, in which I attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am free in the early mornings and late afternoons of those two days. The rest of the week is completely free besides the 2-3 hours I spend studying for school. I tend to be very watchful with pets and do not like to let animals out without some sort of lead unless your yard is fenced in. I will always prioritize safety over anything else to ensure a safe and positive experience for all parties involved. I also ask that I be either provided an emergency contact and/or a preferred veterinary caretaker in case (god forbid) an emergency does come up. I also ask that if a pet is receiving medications, there are clear directions with clear times to administer medications.

About: I've always had a way with dogs and all animals, since I was a child. My positive energy and kind spirit brings animals close to me. Through out my entire life I have walked dogs of friends, family and neighbors, just for the fun of it! Dogs bring me joy and spending time with them on walks is my favorite thing to do in my spare time. Seeing their faces light up when they see Miss Laura coming, knowing they are going on an adventure, brightens my day! Fresh air and exercise is the best recipe to a happy pup! Allow me the opportunity to help out with your fury friend when life gets hectic and a long walk cant fit into your daily schedule. Thank you and have a great day! I have an open schedule for the most part and taking walks is part of my daily routine, spending it with an animal would be great! I will be just walking dogs but safety and trust is important, as I will ensure safe places to walk and proper clean up in residential areas and or parks.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊

About: I’m new to Rover, but caring for animals is a familiar and meaningful part of my life. I have cared for dogs of many different breeds and personalities, and my family and I have helped rescue more than a dozen dogs and cats, care for them, and find them loving homes. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide thoughtful, dependable care. I follow your instructions closely and aim to make your dog feel secure and welcome while you’re away. For boarding, I welcome only one dog or one household’s dogs at a time. This allows me to give your pets my undivided attention and provide a calm, personal experience. I have a resident cat, and if your dog is not comfortable around cats, I will keep my cat in a separate room throughout the stay. I’m retired, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a priority throughout the day. I can plan feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest around your dog’s usual routine. My home has a fenced yard, and a nearby park offers another option for walks, depending on your dog’s needs and comfort level. I board only one dog or one household’s dogs at a time, so your pets receive my undivided attention while you’re away. I follow your feeding and care instructions and provide regular potty breaks and walks suited to your dog. Outdoor time in my fenced yard is supervised. I have a resident cat. If your dog does not get along with cats, I will keep my cat safely in a separate room throughout the stay, with no direct contact between them. Before a booking, we will discuss your dog’s behavior, routines, and any special needs to make sure my home is a good fit.

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 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.

“Accommodated last minute without a meet and greet. Did an excellent job- I would recommend him to any other pet lovers!”

About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

“Hunter was such a communicative and trustworthy pet sitter! I was kept in the loop each day. She was thorough and wonderful. Didn’t have to worry one bit because I knew my cat was in good hands. Thanks again Hunter! We will be rebooking soon! :)”

About: Hi there! 🐾 My name is Brian, and animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up surrounded by family pets to helping neighbors with their furry friends, I’ve built years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional small critter. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I love. Experience & Skills Dogs of All Sizes & Personalities: I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies who are still learning leash manners to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. Whether it’s high-energy walks, playtime fetch sessions, or slow, comforting strolls, I tailor each outing to the dog’s needs. Cats & Small Pets: I understand that cats and smaller animals need a calm and respectful approach. I’m comfortable providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving affection, or simply being a quiet, trustworthy presence for those who are more independent. Medication & Special Needs: I have experience administering oral medications and following special feeding or activity routines. I know how important consistency is for pets with health needs, and I always take extra care to follow instructions closely. Safety First: I’m attentive on walks, always checking surroundings, watching for other animals, and making sure your pet is safe and comfortable. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. What I Offer Dog Walking: From quick potty breaks to long, energy-burning walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Drop-in Visits: I can stop by for feeding, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pets are happy, hydrated, and cared for while you’re away. House Sitting: For pets who prefer the comfort of their own space, I’m available to stay in your home, keeping your pet company and maintaining their normal routine. Why Choose Me? I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand the trust it takes to let someone else care for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect regular updates, photos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. At the end of the day, I want both you and your pet to feel at ease. My goal is to provide not just reliable pet care, but genuine companionship that makes tails wag and purrs rumble. One of the most important parts of pet care is consistency, and I structure my schedule to make sure your pets get the attention they need when they need it most. 🐾 Weekly Availability Weekdays (Mon–Fri): I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This means I can cover everything from quick morning potty breaks to afternoon walks or evening feedings. Weekends (Sat–Sun): I keep my weekends flexible for pet care, so whether you’re away for the day or traveling overnight, I can be there to keep your pets happy and safe. Flexibility I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. If your plans change suddenly, I’ll do my best to step in and help. I can adjust to your pet’s normal routine — whether they’re early risers, midday snackers, or nighttime cuddlers, I’ll keep their schedule consistent so they feel secure. Services by Time of Day Morning Walks / Check-Ins: Great for pups who need exercise before you head to work. Midday Visits: Perfect for a potty break, feeding, or playtime to break up the day. Evening Care: Walks, dinner feeding, litter care, or winding down with snuggles. Overnight Stays: For pets who need extra comfort, I offer overnight house sitting to keep their routine stable in their own home. Communication I’ll always confirm availability ahead of time, and I send updates during each visit so you know exactly when I was there and how your pet is doing. When it comes to caring for pets, I believe three things matter most: safety, trust, and environment. These are the values I bring to every walk, visit, or overnight stay. 🐾 Safety First Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority. I stay alert on walks, keeping a close eye on traffic, other animals, and potential hazards. I never let pets off-leash unless in a fully secure, enclosed space, and I follow your instructions carefully when it comes to feeding, exercise, or medications. I’m also trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health so small issues don’t go unnoticed. 🐾 Built on Trust I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets and your home in someone else’s care. That’s why I communicate openly, follow directions to the letter, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing your pets are cared for as if they were my own. 🐾 A Comfortable Environment I believe pets thrive best when their routines and spaces feel consistent. Whether I’m visiting your home or staying overnight, I make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. For cats, that may mean quiet patience and gentle interaction. For dogs, that could mean structured walks and plenty of play. Every animal has their own rhythm, and I take the time to adapt to it.
