“Montana has always been completely professional and endearing and kind going above and beyond for our animals. We are truly lucky to have her take care of our fur babies.!”

“Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. She went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. Always daily pictures with a note. She noticed when our anxious cat started stress licking and was able to use our diffuser to help provide some calming smells for them. She even set our trash out on the last day which was not expected. Could not recommend her more!”

Lis L.

“Casey was excellent! She was prompt, communicative and gave Loki lots of love. Would absolutely use again!”

Anthony C.

“We've been using Brenda for regular visits with our dogs, and she's been great. She's dependable, easy to communicate with, and always sends updates and photos. Our dogs are comfortable with her, and it's reassuring knowing they're well cared for when we're away. We'd definitely recommend Brenda and will continue using her services.”

About: For the last 20 years, I have been the loving fur/scale mom to dogs, cats, snakes, and geckos! If you have chickens that need to be tended to, I don't mind filling up a feeder or collecting a few eggs for you! I just moved to the Ocala area and would love to take care of pets part-time or full-time. I am available daily and will advise on any days I am no going to be available. My cats currently have a 3 bedroom home, with one room dedicated to being a cat space for them. We are planning to add cat shelves for them to explore on later.

“Trey was punctual and communicated very well with us. Trey and Benji bonded pretty well. Thank you Trey for the time spent with our boy. My family and I couldn't stop talking about your visit. I recommend Trey 100%. He is very experienced.”

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. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens, turtles/tortoises, and hamsters—so you can feel confident all your pets are in good hands. I am at stay at home mama with time to spare. My son is in school for 6.5 hours so I’m all yours. Even after school I’m available just with a sidekick. I keep dogs on a short leash. If you don’t have a fenced in yard no worries we shall secure the neighborhood instead. At my home we have a fenced in yard to keep my dogs safe and secure

About: I have dog sat for two family friends on six separate occasions, helping with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and keeping their dogs company while they were away. I always try to follow the owner’s instructions carefully because I know every dog has its own routine, personality, and needs. I am patient, responsible, and gentle with pets, and I enjoy making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are gone. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 12 PM. My schedule gives me enough flexibility to do check-ins, feedings, playtime, walks, and make sure your cats or dogs feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I have a fenced yard, which is great for supervised outdoor time and play. I always make sure pets have fresh water, food according to their routine, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I also follow each owner’s instructions carefully because every pet has different needs, habits, and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet’s normal routine is kept as consistent as possible.

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.

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.

“Patches was very pleased. Thank You😺🐈‍⬛”

About: Dogs have been part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Gage was raised around dogs from a young age, his dad bred bullies, so he grew up learning canine behavior, body language, and daily care firsthand. After getting married, we added four dogs of our own, which deepened our passion for training, boarding, and understanding how dogs learn best. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including a Bull Mastiff, Pit/Lab mix, Rottweiler/Boxer mix, Great Dane, and a Boxer. Large breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies learning structure, and gentle seniors all receive care tailored to their specific needs. We understand that young dogs need consistency and patience, while senior dogs often need a slower pace and extra attentiveness. What truly sets us apart is that we intentionally keep things small and personal. We board a maximum of two dogs at a time, ensuring individualized attention, proper supervision, and a calm environment - never overcrowded, rushed, or chaotic. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities in our home. After each stay, we fully sanitize spaces, wash bedding, disinfect crates and play areas, and properly dispose of waste to maintain a clean, healthy environment for every dog. We also believe communication matters. Regular updates, photos, and check-ins are sent so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while you’re away. We own a small business offering guided boat tours, fishing trips, and jet ski rentals, which gives us a highly flexible schedule. Because we control our calendar, we only accept pet care bookings when we are fully available to dedicate our time and attention to your dog. Since we both work from home, your pup will not be left alone for extended periods. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine, with built-in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Our days are structured around consistency and companionship. Whether your dog thrives on activity and engagement or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, we’re able to provide steady attention, a calm atmosphere, and dependable care from start to finish. Our home is a quiet, structured, and comfortable environment designed to feel like home, never like a kennel. As mentioned above, we intentionally care for only 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows us to provide focused supervision, individualized attention, and a low-stress setting. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, regular outdoor breaks, consistent feeding schedules, and plenty of downtime to rest and decompress. We pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level, adjusting care to ensure they feel secure and comfortable throughout their stay. Crates are never required unless your dog prefers the familiarity of one. We also have a dedicated spare bedroom where one of us can sleep with your dog, so they don’t have to sleep alone or feel isolated. Maintaining routine, safety, cleanliness, and emotional comfort are always our top priorities. Whether in our home or during drop-in visits at yours, we follow your established routines closely - including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any specific instructions - so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every dog in our care is treated with the same patience, structure, and affection we give our own.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a young girl. I have experienced in training puppies, doing oral medicine, and everything else that comes with loving your animals. I work from home so I am available every day all day. For my daily routine, I wake up around 5 am. Take my dog out to play ball for a hour, get home feed my two dogs start working. After work I like to take both of my dogs to a hike. I live in an apartment but the services I offer is to come to you and take care of your animals!

About: I started caring for dogs over 20 years ago when I was working with a vet in Colorado doing a pet nutrition study with her. She was just starting a doggie daycare and I fell in love with the whole concept. When I moved back home to Ocala in 2007 there were no dog friendly places like there were in Colorado so I decided to open an in home dog daycare. I’ve been doing that for the last 18 years. I have years of experience in dog nutrition, dog boarding and daycare as well working with dogs with special needs whether emotional or due to abuse. I have experience with many different health issues in dogs such as epilepsy, diabetes, megaesophagus, and more. I’m am qualified to give injections, medication, and specialized care for dogs recovering from surgeries, injuries, and physical disabilities. I also have experience with pregnant and nursing moms and their puppies. Pet care is my full time job and life. I do not have any other job. I do have to keep a pretty organized schedule :) My home has a 6’ privacy fence and is set up for dogs to feel that they are at their second home. All dogs coming into my home are fully screened and temperament tested. All vaccinations, recent negative fecal, and proof of preventatives are required before staying. I do provide puppy care in owner’s homes, but not in my home until they are fully vaccinated. I do stay pretty full with boarding, but I am looking to expand and add the service of in-your-home visits mid-day during the week for dogs that have to stay home all day while mom and dad work.
