About: Hi thanks for considering me for the care of your tiny baby! I’ve been pet sitting full time in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Tampa area (I am now in Gainesville, FL) for over 4 years now but in that time I’ve met over a dozen new families! It feels crazy that I've made lifelong connections with something that was just supposed to be part time. (If you can’t tell I LOVE my job and enjoying connecting and caring for every new family.🥰 ) I took about a year off, only pet sitting for my regulars but now that I'm settled into Gainesville I'm opening my schedule for new clients! As much as I love cuddling and playing trust is everything and if you have an especially anxious pup or just mistrusting, I can give them the space they need and show them they can trust this new person in their house by taking things at their speed. I'm in no rush. Will work with your schedule. I’m great for last minute plans so you don’t have to worry about where your baby is going or if they’ll get enough loving while you’re away. :) I like to live an active lifestyle walking at the beach or finding a new trail. As far as a daily routine I like to adapt to whatever the dog or cat's schedule is but at the end of the night love ending up on the couch cuddling watching tv! I’m here to make sure your loved one feels loved while in your absence. For any questions or if you’d just like to get to know me a little more please feel free to message! Since I do this full time my schedule is according to my client's pretty simple. On my days off though I still like to keep a routine sleeping until my cat cries for wet food, stretching, and journaling every single morning. Throughout the week I do strength training and am taking an online bookkeeping class. Safety for me and you pet is always going to be number one over everything. If a dog or cat feels unsafe, things can only go down from there. The key is to give a fearful or uncomfortable pet SPACE and let them come to me.

About: I have great experience with all dog sizes, but medium to small is the best for me. I have taken care of elderly dogs before, and I have a small elderly pomeranian at home, so i realize they require gentle care and attention. I have a dog park outside of my apartment that is mostly unused. It is perfect for giving your dog a potty/play break. The street i live on is slow with light traffic. I am able to care for pets 24/7. I am a part time student, mostly on line, so I am at home most of the day. I work in my bedroom or living room, and I have no trouble doing work on my computer with your pet. My apartment is not on a street, just a parking lot. There is a large yard and doggy play pen outside my home. I live with a Vet student, and I am better able to care for animals with her help. I have one roommate, and my apartment is very quiet and large. I am home all day, and i enjoy quiet studying while siting next to your pet. I get bored easily so I go for walks 4-5x a day, which I would love to do together with your pet! I have a lot of patience for animals since I grew up with them, but i prefer low-energy and calm animals because I get overwhelmed easily.

About: Throughout the past few years, I've sat for several of my neighbors and friend’s dogs, from yorkies to pit bulls. This includes both walks and visits to provide food, water, and fun. Caring for my own dog, Charlotte, in recent years has given me experience in caring for senior dogs. This includes accommodating for hearing loss, blindness, low energy, and stomach problems. I am a student at UF looking for a fun way to spend my free time. My current schedule somewhat flexible other than my classes. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I am free early mornings until 8:00 AM, around noon, and in the evenings. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available all morning until 11:30 and in the evenings after 5:00 PM. Weekends that are marked as available are flexible. This works around my classes schedule, volunteering, and other obligations. Safety is my number one priority when caring for your best friend(s). When walking dogs in Florida, I have found it extremely important to monitor the weather and your pets breathing. I will always ensure they have access to enough water and food at meal time. And if they’re allowed, I love giving them the occasional treat.

About: I've interned at a animal clinic for a year, and and have taken care of an elderly dog who needed medicine and rescue dogs. my goal is to make your pet feel at home even when you're gone. I can walk you're dog as much as they need it, I see it as a priority. The rescue I sat for was called "Compassiant Pet Rescue" located in South Florida, In high school I took part in a vet class where I earned my certificate; I interned at a pet clinic for a year, and volunteered at the Humane Society for 2 years giving the dog love and affection, cleaning cages and working in the kids camp,Before working as a camp counselor I was in the camp since the age of seven. Thank you I am able happy to go take care of your pets on a regular, basis finding time in my schedule to make sure they’re getting the care they need After walking in I check the pet for signs of distress and make sure all toys and bowls are intact, to ensure safety of your pet

About: I am a first year vet student. I was a vet tech for 5 years before getting into vet school. I am Fear Free certified. I have loved animals all my life. I have four babies of my own. Two cats, Ravioli and Rigatoni, a dog, Macaroni, and a bearded dragon, Spyro. I always make time for animals. They are the light of my life and why I chose vet medicine. Working with animals makes my heart happy. I will work with you to accommodate both of our schedules and needs ! I walk my own dog 4 to 6 times a day. She also loves to play frisbee. She is a very friendly girl. My cats are perfect. I clean their litter boxes about every other day.

About: I have grown up with many pets so I am used to being around all kinds of animal. My first pet was a Great Dane and my most recent a chihuahua mix so I know how to take care of any sized animal. I’ve had much experience with caring for dogs as I volunteer at the Humane Society of North Central Florida while attending UF. With 4 years of pet sitting experience I hope to provide the best care possible for your fur babies. I am currently a college student at the University of Florida. I have a light schedule so I would be able to care for pets between classes and all day after them! I have watched many different kinds of dogs and I know how each family had different rules regarding their dogs. My dogs utilize the fenced in back yard but I also love a good walk or day trip with them. I am very good at reading the body language of a dog so I can also try to avoid any dangerous situations when walking by myself.

“Janae is a wonderful, caring individual who took excellent care of my dog Kenzie on her late night bedtime walks. Kenzie was very relaxed upon meeting Janae, immediately laying on her feet and rolling over for belly rubs - which is unusual for her. I trust Janae to take excellent care of your pet(s).”

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly trust me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m very attentive to routines and behavior, so I make sure each dog feels comfortable and safe. I’m active and love long walks, but I’m also patient and calm with shy or older dogs. I treat every pet like my own. As a UF student with a flexible schedule, I plan my days around being active and organized, which makes pet care easy to fit into my routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding depending on the week, and I prioritize giving pets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to communicate regularly and send updates while you’re away! I take safety and routine very seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any house rules exactly as given. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, so I notice quickly if a pet seems stressed or uncomfortable. I keep doors secured, avoid unsafe situations on walks, and make sure your pet feels calm and cared for at all times.

About: Pets are a huge part of my life. I currently have a dog named Ava and a cat named pistol. I have had multiple pets throughout my life. I enjoy getting to spend time with other anaimals as well. I am big on “doggy manners” and am good at teaching them to your furry friend. During my visits, I will walk, play and spend time with your dog/cat. I have walked many dogs, and enjoy connecting with them all. I’m available in the mornings and afternoons, and sometimes in the middle of day depending on the day of the week. I look forward to getting to know your furry companion 🤍🤎 Im currently a stay at home mom. My child attends school from 8-3. I am a student; but like to take a few breaks a day to go out. I have a fenced in yard. We spray our yard for ticks and other mites to prevent them, and regularly take our animals to the vet.

About: I’ve been caring for animals most of my life, starting with my own cat who is now 11 years old. I’m very experienced with daily cat care, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and understanding their behavior. In addition, I’ve helped care for my family members’ dogs, handling walks, feeding, and general care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always follow their routine closely. I work remotely and am a full time student, so during the summer I’m fully available for any dog or cat needs!! I’m happy to help out any time from 9am-10pm :) I their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks for dogs, and litter box cleaning for cats. I also spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone. I pay attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I make sure they are safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: With me, your pet is in the hands of an experienced handler. I have kept and worked with dogs, cats, and exotic animals over my lifetime. I understand what your pets basic needs are, as well as what excites and stimulates them. My schedule allows me to cater my time around the needs of my client so both the owner and the pets! I have a dog park in my neighborhood and plenty of private spaces. Cats are more than welcome, too! I have a private room that pets can relax in, away from the movement of the rest of the house. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and have dedicated my life to understanding all about them. I wake up early to make sure I can plan my whole day accordingly. Dogs get walked before breakfast, before bed, and as many times in-between as needed. I have plenty of space in my home so boarding is a pleasure. I love caring for the pets of others the way I would my own. I ensure any care instructions are diligently followed, providing photos and updates throughout. I've also provided photos of my space and dog room!

“Stephanie is the best person to watch your fur baby in Gainesville. From the beginning, she was quick with responding to my messages and was flexible about our first initial meeting. During the walks she will send updates and adorable photos. She’s very knowledagle, caring, and goes the extra mile when it comes to taking care of your pet.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Elise and I was raised in south Florida. Every since I was a little girl I have always loved animals and animals have always gravitated towards me. I am very capable of taking care of your dog! I have had dogs for my entire life and even bunnies, turtles, ferrets, horses, and monkeys. I drove my parents crazy (lol). My house is very clean as I have a cleaner every week. It's safe and fun and all doggies are loved equally! I send lots of pictures and video if requested to ease any concern or missing your furry friend. I have a Pomeranian-husky mix named Miesha who has a lot of energy. Your animal will never be left alone as I work/do school work from home!

About: I have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned many pets and truly love spending time with animals! I am a current University of Florida student. I have 1-3 classes per day no longer than 3 consecutive hours, so I can fit in pet care nearly anytime during the week or weekends. I have a German Shepherd, Siamese cat, and bearded dragon at home. I have also owned rabbits, fish, and turtles so I have experience with all types of care. I prioritize loving and engaging activities like walking or playing!

About: I have had dogs and cats of all different shapes and sizes and nothing brings me more joy than hanging out with pets! I am okay with any age or species of animals, and am more than happy to care for any exotic pets as well! I don’t have any professional grooming experience but I am great at giving baths to pets of any size and have even dealt with bathing my crazy cats. If you’re interested or have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me! I am only taking two classes this summer so I have more than enough time to provide your pets with love and care. I spend a lot of time outside so they will never get bored. I live alone in an apartment but I am a very outdoorsy person who will make sure your pet has a fun adventure while away from you!
