“Anas and Tate were so fantastic. We could tell they really loved our doggies. They sent lots of pics and videos. This was our first time using Rover and they made us feel so comfortable leaving the dogs. Would highly recommend them to anyone!!”
“Ashley was so amazing and caring with our puppy! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby. She made sure we were at ease by keeping us posted with comments and pictures.”
“Michelle is the best! We are incredibly particular about who we entrust with taking care of our precious fur baby, and we felt confident and safe with Michelle from the get-go. She was very proactive about learning our dog’s habits, schedule, and temperament so that she could ensure to make things as comfortable for her as possible, while also providing a fun vacation. We loved getting updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay, and our dog seemed very happy. Would definitely board with Michelle again, and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Nina was amazing. We felt completely comfortable with her watching our 2 pups. We love knowing they got lots of outside time, play, and snuggles. She also sent us lots of pictures and updates.”
“Amanda has been so great in taking care of our dog. We went out of the country for a family vacation, she regularly sends us pictures, videos and updates us how he is doing. We can truly tell our fur baby enjoyed his stay with Amanda. Amanda is so reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. She treats our dog as if they were her own. We highly recommend her.”

“Paola was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my baby and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear my pup was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. When I got home, my dog was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful experience. I would 100% trust Paola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Paola!”
“Adam has friendly dogs that played with our Hayden.. We were updated with videos and pics several times a day. I think Hayden enjoyed himself as much as we did on our vacay”
“Great with my high energy pup. She makes sure that every stay is safe and fun for the dogs. Bonus points for giving my dog a slow feeder puzzle with pumpkin puree. Great communicator, responsible and punctual. She really cares for your dogs as if it were her own.”
“Jamie and Kyle were the best dog sitters we have ever used! They loved our dogs like they were their own. I can’t say enough good things about them and I could tell my dogs were comfortable staying there when I went to pick them up. I will 100% use them again and would recommend them to anyone!!”

“Rachel was an excellent cat sitter! She was timely, followed instructions and played and spent time with my cat. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my cat at home for a while. I will definitely use Rachel again! Thank you.”
“Veronica was legit the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She was so patient and loving with my cat who is currently having behavioral issues. By the end, he wasn’t even hissing at her anymore, which is huge progress. I am so thankful for how well she took care of him and she even cleaned after! Totally unnecessary but very much appreciated ❤️❤️ I’d give her 6 stars if I could and I really hope she agrees to petsit my cat again in the future because she is a miracle worker. Thank you so much!!”
“Kat did an excellent job caring for our dog when we were away for the day! She came by twice to take our dog out and to feed him dinner. Will definitely be contacting her again when we need assistance!”
“Jonathan is the best! Each day he sent us photos of our sweet old cat Easy, and I could tell from the photos and accompanying messages that Jonathan was doing a good job and Easy was at ease.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats—both indoor and outdoor—and have loved getting to know their wide range of personalities. From affectionate lap cats to independent explorers, I’ve cared for them all through friends, family, and my own experiences. I enjoy learning from each cat’s unique quirks and provide calm, attentive care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: I've had cats since the day I was born. My family was the one to take in every stray, and that trait still exists in me today. I currently have a senior tuxedo kitty named Stacy, and she's been my soul cat since I was 12 years old. My orange cat, Maroon, came into my life 3-years ago, and those have been the silliest and cuddliest years of my life. My cat Stacy has chronic bladder stones and has to be on a special medicated diet for the rest of her life. Through her and other pet care experiences, I am skilled in administering medications and managing special dietary needs for cats, ensuring their health and well-being. About a year ago, I fostered 2 semi-feral kittens and their momma. I went through the process of humanely trapping them, getting them spayed/neutered, socializing them, and then re-homing them. It was an extremely rewarding experience to witness their growth. As a proud cat owner myself, I understand the importance of creating a loving and safe space for your feline friend. I enjoy engaging in playtime and providing plenty of cuddles, as well as ensuring they receive proper nutrition, exercise, and companionship. I'm also very big on keeping a clean environment for your kitties, and will make sure their litter is scooped and their areas are kept clean!
About: I’ve had the pleasure of owning cats through every stage of life, and I am comfortable with any age or breed. I am used to kittens, elderly cats, and grown cats, so I am ready for handling each need of the fur babies with care.
“Kate was great and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She responds quickly, is very understanding, and was available for me in a pinch. A lot of people are intimidated by Geno's size, and he still very much has a lot of "puppy energy" in him, so it's not always easy to find someone who embraces a big furry dog. Her drop in visit was perfect, and Geno was thrilled!”
About: Loving & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! 🐾 Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, and today I’m a proud pet parent to 6 dogs, 3 cats, and a variety of other amazing animals—including sugar gliders, turtles, fish, mice, snakes, and lizards. 🩷 I have cared for dogs of all ages—from fragile newborn puppies to seniors needing extra love and patience. I’m experienced in providing special care for older pets and am attentive to any unique needs or quirks they may have, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. With over 6 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, animal care specialist, and groomer, I bring both expertise and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, administering special care, or simply giving them extra affection, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently working off of my own schedule so I have a ton of flexibility! I can do same day appointments and adjustments if needed! When providing care in either my home or a client’s home, my priority is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any special instructions provided—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or unique care needs—so your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and if treats are allowed, I’m happy to use them as part of positive interactions. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, offering snuggles, companionship, and the highest level of care so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.
About: I adopted my first cat at 15 and have been completely smitten ever since. I’m a crazy cat lady through and through. There’s something about cats that just clicks with me; I see them, they see us, and we love each other deeply. Over the years I’ve cared for cats of every shape, size, age, and personality, from total sweethearts to the ones who take a minute to trust you. I’m comfortable with all of it — giving medication, cleaning up messes, roughhousing a little to burn off some zoomies before bedtime. My own cat Vesta needs eye drops twice a day, each eye, and I actually trained her to sit and tilt her head back for it. Treat after, every time. Two years in, zero issues. If your cat needs meds, a special routine, or just someone patient enough to figure out what makes them comfortable, that’s exactly what I’m good at. When I’m with your cat, I pay attention — to their habits, their moods, what they like and don’t. You’ll get photos and updates so you know exactly how things are going, and your cat gets someone who actually wants to be there. 🐱💕
About: Cats thrive with patience, consistency, and gentle attention - and that’s exactly how I care for them. I’ve been a dedicated cat owner and caregiver for over 20 years, including caring for my beloved now-senior cat who is still living very healthy and happy at 22 years old. I understand feline routines, boundaries, and personalities, from playful kittens to shy or senior cats who need extra comfort. While you’re away, you’ll receive frequent photos, videos, and thoughtful updates, so you always know your cat is safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own space. I know all there is to know about cats and caring for them. I have made and filmed a documentary on caring for our feline friends, and I have 3 cats, one of which turned 22 years old (human years) on October 22, 2025. I have had her and been taking care of her since she was 2 years old. I have had her in my care for 20 years now! I believe love and extraordinary care can truly make pets happier and last longer. After all, I have seen it with my own! I am happy to spend time with, play, feed, and wholeheartedly love your pet(s) while you are away! I work hard to make it an easy and relaxing process for you, so that you can leave feeling your furry friend is in great hands! I will ask questions and make sure all the details are there, so you don't have to. I also am happy to help with other smaller friends! In my caregiving experience, I have fed frogs, tadpoles, and plants, alongside the dogs and cats! If you have another living creature that needs some attention and upkeep, I am so happy to offer my care as part of my services! **Please look forward to lots of videos, photos, and updates of your happy pet(s)!!!** As a pet owner myself, I know how much it matters to stay connected and updated! You will ALWAYS be in the know!
About: I have taken care of cats for the past 5 years, and many friends have trusted me to take care of theirs, as well. One of my cats, Dwight (yes, from The Office), became obstructed about a year ago, and because I paid such close attention to all of my animals' bathroom habits, I was able to get him to the emergency vet before it became a "true" emergency. I have caught every single ailment in a timely manner since, and all of my cats are happy and healthy. I have had to give medication, and definitely know how to deep clean a litter box. I rescued 3 out of my 5 cats at around 4 weeks of age, so I also have experience in kitten-care and nursing them back to health.

“Zakary was a wonderful dog sitter. They communicated before my stay as well as during my stay. They took amazing photos of my dogs. They have a wonderful yard in the front of the house with obstacles for your dogs in a very safe gated area. I would absolutely use them again during my next trip in Gainesville. Oh, and they gave my dogs, home-cooked chicken and rice with my permission.”
“Samantha is wonderful! She is flexible, easy going, and shows sincere care and love for my dogs, Teddy and Lou. I found her very helpful in terms of transportation for the dogs too. My dogs enjoyed their time with her and her husband. I am definitely planning to use her services again.”
“Our pup got A+ care with Kimberly. She was also very communicative throughout our dog's visit and sent us cute pictures showing how much fun she was having. Highly recommend!!”
About: 🐾 Personalized Pet Care in a Calm Country Setting 🐾 First-time clients receive $20 off their first booking with promo code AMANDF33991 Hi! I'm Amanda, and pet care isn't just something I do—it's been my life's work for over 20 years. My background includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, shelter and rescue work, pet sitting, and animal care at Walt Disney World's Best Friends Pet Care. I specialize in providing personalized care for senior pets, anxious pets, and those with medical needs who may not thrive in a traditional boarding environment. Your pet will stay in a quiet home setting with individualized attention, comfortable accommodations, and plenty of opportunities to relax, explore, and feel at home while you're away. 🐶 What I Offer • Boarding in a calm home environment • Drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other pets • Medication administration • Senior pet care • Experience with medical and special-needs pets • Rural property with plenty of space to sniff and explore • Flexible scheduling • Midday potty breaks and regular supervision throughout the day 🐾 A Good Fit For • Senior dogs • Anxious or shy pets • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Pets with medical needs • Families looking for individualized care rather than large group boarding I grew up in a family-run Shar-Pei kennel and have spent more than two decades working with animals. My experience includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, pet sitting, rescue work, shelter management, Disney's Best Friends Pet Care, and PetSmart Pet Hotel. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, livestock, and pets with significant medical or behavioral needs. To provide individualized care, I intentionally limit the number of boarding guests I accept at one time. However, multi-dog families are welcome; please message for updated availability.
“Maria and her family are VERY NICE. We were very worried at first since our dog has never been left with other people before but she made us feel at ease. Our dog was very happy and if we ever go back to gainesville again we will definitely contact her again :)”
“Danielle was really nice and Shadow loved her. She had other dogs besides her own, but made sure that everyone was happy and did not get stressed out. Shadow loved the back yard, chasing butterflies, and playing with the Australian Shepherd. She got brushing at the end of the days she was there to get the sand off. She was tired out, which was great. She is still a puppy at 15 months. Thank you.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.
“My first experience using rover was great, all due to the care and attention given to my pet by Ana. The property is amazing. Plenty of fenced in yard for your dog to get exercise. She supervises your pet at all times and sends updates throughout the day through rover on your pups progress. My Furi started out the week as a shy pup. By the end of the week she had so many friends to play with. I look forward to continue using her daycare service. Highly recommend!!”
“Miranda was great! She took care of my dog and three cats like they were her own. They came back clean and no worse for wear. She worked with my schedule and was very flexible. I appreciated all help and understanding!!”
“I could tell Bella was comfortable with Paola. I know It’s not easy trusting someone with our furry baby. I recommend Paola to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: My brother and I work from home, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, to include caring for senior dogs through end of life care. During the day I’m a special education tutor, so have tons of patience and empathy! I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for hot spots or other treatments to vet orders, and keeping a watchful eye while you’re away! Part time tutor, part time studying for law school, so your pup will get plenty of belly scratches and one on one attention. My dog loves being around other four legged friends, so they will have a built in bestie to run around with (or just sit around with). I either work from home or have two hour sessions with my clients. My brother lives with me, so someone will almost always be around to let the dogs out and give them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard, with one playful and sweet young dog who loves everyone she meets. We are a very dog focused household, and are in the process of installing a doggy door so the pups can go in/out as they please (when we are home, it will be locked when out running errands).
About: Calm, attentive care tailored to your pet. ☀️ Summer Safety Advisory ☀️ Due to Florida’s extreme heat and humidity, dogs are at serious risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke in as little as 10–15 minutes of exertion during peak sun hours. Because of this, all walks during late spring through early fall may be shortened or adjusted for safety and replaced with enrichment-based activities, shaded sniff time, or indoor play when appropriate. Your dog’s health and comfort always come first. 🐾 Pet Care Experience I provide thoughtful, enrichment-focused care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is not just to “get through” a visit, but to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a background in wildlife sanctuary rehabilitation and have served as an adoptions director, which means I’ve worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications ( just not injections), managing multi-pet households, and supporting shy, anxious, senior, or special-needs pets. My approach to pet care is informed by ongoing education in dog behavior, body language, and force-free, reward-based training. I pay close attention to stress signals, pacing, and environment, and I adjust each visit accordingly. Whether your dog needs structured activity, calm companionship, or space to decompress, I aim to meet them where they are. 🦴 Bonus Enrichment Option I also manage one of Gainesville’s top-rated private Sniffspots, The Zoomie Zone, located in Midtown. This fully private, reservation-only yard is ideal for dogs who benefit from off-leash play without the pressure of public dog parks. Many clients choose to incorporate Sniffspot visits into walks or drop-ins as a way to provide safe zoomies, sniff-based enrichment, or low-distraction decompression time. If you’re interested in adding a Sniffspot visit to your booking, feel free to ask. Returning clients can also receive discount codes for independent bookings. Whether we’re heading out for a structured walk, enjoying shaded sniff time, or keeping things low-key indoors, I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care you can trust. 🗓️ Scheduling and booking process To make sure every booking is safe, smooth, and a good fit, I require a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet for all new clients. This takes place at the location where care will be provided and gives us a chance to review your pet’s routine, home setup, safety needs, and comfort level. **Meet and greet exceptions:** * Cats do not require a meet and greet unless there are medications, behavioral concerns, or a complicated home setup * Puppies under five months may be booked without a meet and greet when appropriate * Returning clients may fast-track future bookings Please schedule your meet and greet at least 72 hours before your first requested service so we have enough time to coordinate properly. After the initial meet and greet, you are all set for future bookings. If you move to a new home or apartment, you are welcome to schedule another visit so I can become familiar with the new layout, entry instructions, and pet-care setup. 🚶♀️ Dog walks and drop-ins I organize dog walks and cat drop-ins into efficient daily routes using flexible arrival windows. This helps reduce unnecessary travel time while still allowing me to provide thoughtful, attentive care during every visit. Dog-care windows: * Standard visits generally take place between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Morning visits may begin as early as 8:00 AM * Evening visits may be available for dogs who need additional flexibility **Cat-care windows:** * My preferred cat visit window is between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Visits requiring medication or strict timing will be scheduled around those needs whenever possible Dogs are generally prioritized earlier because of restroom needs, but every pet receives the same level of care, attention, and communication. 🐾 Premium boarding Boarding is a high-touch, in-home service for clients who want a fully hands-off experience while their dog is away. At this time, boarding is available only to dogs who already have an established walking, drop-in, or daycare relationship with me. This helps ensure your dog is already comfortable with me, my home, my routine, and my resident pets before an overnight stay. While boarding with me, your dog will: * Live inside my home as part of the household * Be my only boarding guest and receive individualized attention * Receive daily enrichment, engagement, and structured downtime * Enjoy supervised access to my private Sniffspot for play, sniffing, and decompression * Follow a routine tailored to their age, energy level, temperament, and physical needs Enrichment may include: * Frozen meals or food puzzles using West Paw Toppls * Sniff-based games, treat hunts, and low-pressure training activities * Nature walks or hikes at San Felasco when weather permits * Visits to quiet recreational fields when no other animals are present * Indoor play and low-impact enrichment during extreme heat or storms Most dogs return home happy, fulfilled, and very ready for a nap. 🚨 Boarding behavior and safety expectations The safety and comfort of my resident pets are a top priority. Dogs boarding with me must be safe around cats and respectful toward my personal dog. Dogs showing aggression, predatory behavior, severe resource guarding, or repeated unsafe behavior toward resident animals may not be eligible for boarding. If a boarding stay must be ended for safety reasons, care may be converted to drop-in visits at your home for feeding, potty breaks, and companionship whenever possible. 🚗 Premium pick-up and drop-off For added convenience, I offer pet transportation as an optional add-on. I can personally pick up or return your dog along my existing daily route, allowing you to leave your dog comfortably at home without coordinating an in-person handoff. This service is priced accordingly to reflect the additional time, travel, and personalized care involved. ⛔ Important booking policies * One complimentary meet and greet is included for new clients * Additional meetings should be booked as a walk or drop-in to cover time and travel * Every pet receiving care must be listed on the Rover booking * Bookings should be confirmed within 48 hours of the meet and greet or the requested time may be released * House-sitting and drop-in bookings follow a seven-day cancellation policy * Availability is not guaranteed until a booking has been formally confirmed by you. through Rover. If you have questions, a complicated schedule, or a pet with unusual care needs, I am always happy to talk through the details before booking. Care philosophy and communication: In my home, pets and plants are family, and every animal in my care is treated with the same level of respect, attention, and consideration I give my own. I understand that every pet has an individual personality and different needs. Some thrive on companionship, while others prefer play, structure, quiet encouragement, or simply having a calm person nearby. My goal is to be a steady, reassuring presence your pet can rely on while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their own home or taking them on an enrichment field trip to The Zoomie Zone, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. During each visit, you’ll receive a detailed Rover Card with notes about meals, potty breaks, mood, activities, and anything noteworthy from our time together. If your pet gives me an especially great photo opportunity, I may also send along a favorite edited image. Unless something genuinely requires your attention, I will not interrupt your vacation, work trip, or conference. My goal is to be both your pet’s advocate and your peace of mind while you’re away. 🚨 Safety and stress policy Safety is always my top priority, both for your pet and for me. If a pet displays aggression, extreme fear, severe anxiety, or behavior that makes a visit unsafe, I will still make every reasonable effort to ensure their essential needs are met, including food, water, medication when safely possible, and potty access. However, I may modify or shorten the visit if continuing would increase stress or create a risk of injury. This is never done as punishment. It is a safety decision intended to prevent escalation and protect everyone involved. Any significant concerns will be clearly documented and communicated to you. 🛏️ Crate or confinement requirement for boarding For boarding stays, dogs must be comfortable resting safely in a crate, exercise pen, gated room, or behind another secure household barrier. This is a firm boarding requirement. At night, during meals when separation is needed, and anytime dogs cannot be directly supervised, boarding guests will be safely confined. This gives every animal appropriate space to rest and ensures all pets remain secure while I am sleeping, showering, completing household tasks, or briefly away from home. Crates and gated spaces are always used as calm, neutral resting areas, never as punishment. If your dog normally uses a crate, pen, gated room, or another confinement routine at home, please share the details with me so I can keep their stay as familiar and low-stress as possible. Dogs do not need to love being crated, but they must be able to tolerate safe confinement without panicking, attempting to escape, or injuring themselves. If your dog is not currently comfortable with any form of secure separation, boarding may not be the right fit at this time. In that case, drop-in care in their own home may be a safer and more comfortable alternative. This is non-negotiable.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters I’m retired from the USAF and am home 90+% of the day.

About: I’ve been a dog-mom for the past 14 years. Recently, our dog crossed over the rainbow bridge and we want to love on some dogs the way our dog was loved. We have cared for puppies and senior dogs alike for many years. We are active and enjoy exercising and playing outside with dogs or just relaxing at home, depending on your pet’s needs. Both online teachers, we are organized and routine-oriented, and offer flexibility with scheduling. We currently do not have children or other animals in our home. We will take care of your dog as if it were our own. We are experienced in administering medicine and supplements as-needed. We will only watch one family’s dog(s) at a time to ensure your baby(ies) gets the attention he or she deserves. We have relied on Rover for many years in the past with our own dog so we understand the desire to feel comfortable with whom you leave your animal while you’re away. We hope you’ll choose us for your dog-sitting needs! Working from home, we have flexible schedules for pick-up and drop-off. We are able to spend lots of quality time with your pup! We have a neighborhood for walking dogs and live just a few miles from a dog park. We will ensure your dog gets the exercise or relaxation he or she needs.
“Brynn and husband took great care of my two dogs! They came home happy and tired after a day of playing in the backyard, lounging in the sun (a Milo favorite pastime) and walks. I do appreciate the loving care for my two dogs!!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life that I helped take care. I ended up getting my own dog when I moved. I have my own place and love to have dogs stay while their parents are away. I work at Shands in the emergency room but have enough space for a safe pen when I’m away. I have a small dog park in my complex that I take my dogs to in the evening. I have 2 dogs that are friendly and enjoy making new friends. I also keep dogs separate when I am not home. We like to go to the dog park in the evenings when it’s not so hot

About: I’ve had taken care of lots of animals since I was 8. I’ve taken care of lots of special needs animals and animals that have set medicine application times. With my son home for summer break, I have a flexible schedule and full availability to spend extra time caring for your fur babies this summer 🐶🐱🐾 I always strive to make both pets and pet parents feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I respect every client’s home as if it were my own and carefully follow all routines, feeding schedules, and instructions. I’m comfortable crating pets if needed and always prioritize a calm, loving, and safe environment for every animal in my care.
About: I've taken care of family and friends pets of all kinds and sizes. No animal is too tricky for me, I love a pet that is just as unique as their mom or dad! I'm currently available Monday-Friday with occasional weekends. I am in between jobs so my schedule can fit your needs! I even don't mind hanging out with your fur baby more than once a day if needed. I have a fully fenced in acre of land and a brand new car that is reliable for any pick up needs. I also have multiple pet beds and toys at my house if any time there is requested. We lost our fur baby in January so my house may still have her scent in spots. I've lived in Gainesville for 6 years, but have known the roads of Gainesville for 12, so I am very comfortable with the town and know the best walking spots!

About: I have experience with pet sitting for about four years now. This includes cat sitting, dog sitting/walking, and even working at a doggy daycare for a year and a half! I currently work and am a student at the University of Florida! I am still pretty flexible on my time, so reach out and we can work something out!

I have gained knowledge from each place that I plan to use for the safety and well being of any future clients! pets
About: I have a flexible schedule! I am willing to work with you to give your dog the best care possible and make life easier for you! Dogs are welcome on furniture for cuddles and comfort. There is plenty of space inside for them to roam AND a patio/backyard area for fresh air. There is also a dog park in the neighborhood for your dog to play with other dogs if you want him/her dog to socialize. Exercising a dog isn’t always important! I have experience training dogs. I have been assisting in training future guide dogs for the past 3 years. I would love to take in your cute pups even if they are not potty trained; I have experience and am willing to help potty train or any other forms of training you would like your pup to continue while you are away. I am also willing to administer any medications your dog needs during his/her stay. I am here to make your life easier and give your dog the best experience possible! I will play, walk, cuddle, and love all fur babies! Dogs of any age (as long as they have some vaccinations), size, and gender are welcome in here!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. From raising playful puppies to providing gentle, attentive senior care, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s journey. I’m confident in training, daily routines, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs to ensure comfort, consistency, and happiness. My goal is to offer dependable, loving care—treating every dog as if they were my own. I have two wonderful dogs of my own who receive my daily love and attention, but outside of their care, my schedule is flexible and open. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to giving your pets the same level of comfort and care I give my own. Whether it’s a quick bathroom break in the backyard or full house and pet sitting for multiple nights, I provide attentive, reliable care with professionalism and love. You can trust that every task will be completed thoughtfully, and that your pets will feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals on my own since I was a child ranging from indoor pets of any kind you can think or to large animals on a farm. I started out pet sitting with my mother at a young age riding along and helping her. At the age of 16 I started doing it in my own I treat every pet like family by providing feeding, potty breaks, outdoor playtime, walks, medication administration, baths upon request, cuddles, and individualized care to match their unique needs and routine. Right now I am a stay at home mom who would love to share the love and care I provide for my little ones to your special pets. I am flexible and able to take on last minute bookings with the advantage of being home everyday. And can make multiple trips if needed for your pet. I am also able to stay in your home if that is what comforts your pet the most. I treat every person as if they’re my own and will give them the love care and patience they need. Strict boundaries and routine for your pet, leave me a list and it will be followed as expected. Puppy crate training and makes a mess no worries I can clean it up and bath them to have them comfortable again. You can count on me.
“Really patient with my active dog. She has plenty of experience with Healer breeds like my Tink and knows how to keep her entertained. Tink is a happier pup when Brittany spends time with her. Fully recommend!”
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, including having had cats, dogs, fish, and as a pet. I am familiar with caring for older animals that have lost the ability to fully care for themselves, caring for puppies or kittens, and pets with disabilities (blind, or sick etc.). So I am qualified to care for a pet at any age and just about any level of health! I work my own hours at my job and I have no scheduled weekly activities so I am free to come by and help at almost any day/time! I care for my cat at home by spending time with her playing and cuddling when I am free, letting her curl up with me in bed, and having her sit with me while I cook or do homework! In a client's home I would be interacting with the pets, feeding them, walking them to give them good exercise (for applicable pets), giving them cuddles and love, and providing a safe, clean space for them!
About: Hi! My name is Isabel, and I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Florida. Before veterinary school, I worked as a small, equine, and exotic animal veterinary technician. I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. With my veterinary background, I am comfortable caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets with medical needs. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, so I do my best to make you and your pet comfortable from the start. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers the couch, I am happy to adapt to their needs and routines. I also prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! While I am attending veterinary school (8-5 Monday to Friday), I am available in the evenings and on the weekends! I am happy to watch your pet for weekend trips :) I care for pets in their home by prioritizing consistency and individualized care. I know pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine (feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, etc). I also take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs to make them feel most comfortable. I treat every client’s home with respect by keeping things clean, following all care instructions, and providing regular updates. With my veterinary background, I am also comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or wellbeing.
About: I have around 8 years of personal pet care experience, including a summer job at PetSmart. I took care of dogs, cats, and every little animal in-between. I have 6 cats, and 1 dog, all of whom were rescued from different situations, and are well-loved and cared for deeply. My availability differs from week to week, but I will do my best to accommodate every pet parent's individual schedules and needs. I will ensure excellent communication throughout the process. I intend to treat my client's home and animals with respect and the same standards I hold my own home to. While I am unable to offer my own home, I will make sure that your's is taken care of.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats (small and large, often multiple at once), and animals tend to connect with me easily. For over 10 years I rescued and fostered cats and kittens, and along the way I also cared for a boa, several birds, a hedgehog, and mice. I’m comfortable and genuinely happy caring for all kinds of animals with patience, love, and respect. At home, I have two cats of my own, Juno (4) and Vesta (3). Vesta needs daily eye drops, so I’m well-practiced in medication administration and comfortable with pets who need a little extra care. I offer drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I treat every pet as if they were my own — consistent routines, lots of affection, and close attention to their needs. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I’m available full-time, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, pet care fits easily into my flexible daily routine. At home I have two cats, Juno and Vesta, both comfortable around visiting pets. I’m experienced with medication administration (Vesta gets daily eye drops), dog walking and will keep a calm, clean, attentive environment for every animal in my care.
About: I'm a very responsible adult professional. Once I commit, you can rest assured that your pet(s) will be in the very best hands. We have always had our pets as part of our family and I play an active role in taking care of our beloved maltipoo, Gus. I have also cared for other's pets for extended periods when they've gone out of town many times. I love walking and going on adventures! I currently have flexible part-time jobs where I make my own hours. This means I have time and can make my own schedule based on the needs of the pet care. I'm open and can chat about what times would work for you! :) I follow directions to exact specifications. My goal is to provide companionship and comfort. The most important thing to me is that your pet doesn't feel alone. I'm here to offer that! I often make sure our Gus has a spot nearby me as much as he wants!

About: I not only grew up around dogs, but I’ve worked in animal shelters and a pet resort, where I was responsible for the needs of dogs and cats. I earned 44 hours of volunteer work at the Humane Society in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., where I gave tours to potential dog owners. I worked at Pet Suites and LifeLine, where I ensured all pets received their food and/or medicine in a timely manner. I have fostered dogs for Angels Among Us and found homes for all of them. I also take an interest in dog training. I’m not a licensed trainer, but I enjoy teaching dogs manners and tricks. I have availability on Friday-Sunday. I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, care, and consistency they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with other dog neighbors. There’s a lot of grass surrounding the complex. While at work, I prefer letting dogs roam unless they need to be in a crate.
“Mavi had the best time ever on Josephine's farm! She is clearly experienced when it comes to dogs and animals in general, as she took great care of our nervous Aussie.

She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
