Personalized care for your dog or cat - Anthony
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Anthony
“I recently moved to Ocala and needed a new pet sitter. I felt comfortable with them at the Meet and Greet and my first sitting experience with Laquitta & James far exceeded my expectations! I received updates with several pictures EVERY DAY. They pampered Lucy and gave her extra attention since it was her first time staying with them. She was so well cared for and comfortable at their home. They will be my go-to sitters for any future trips!”
“Lorraine was such a lucky find. She is very organised and professional. Jake was totally her top priority that he be safe, and secure in her care. This is paramount when I am trying to enjoy my vacation, that I can truly trust the person he is staying with. He had such a good time that I plan to continue his visits with doggie day care so he can have social time with the other pups! Thank you Lorraine!”
“I had booked a dog sitter a month in advance for my daughter’s wedding, but on the day of drop-off, the sitter didn’t show up, leaving me frantic. Thankfully, Diana came to the rescue and took in my two dogs with only three hours' notice. She took wonderful care of them, and they were happy and well-looked-after the entire time. Diana truly saved the day! She sent daily photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful for her help and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Elisa did an amazing job watching my Beagle. She sent videos of their time together which was very thoughtful. Thanks so much for taking great care of her. Will definitely book again when needed.”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”

I’m available for boarding seven days a week. I have a good- sized fenced yard and a friendly medium-sized dog to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if needed.
“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”
“Susan is an amazing care giver!! She goes above and beyond!! She is so loving and caring with my baby Ripley!! Ripley was happy and relaxed staying with Susan Communication was terrific!!! And most of all my little guy trusted Susan!!! Recommend her 150% Won’t ever leave my boy with anyone except Susan!!”
“We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!”

“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!”
“Since I have a very spoiled cat, she provided very special care for Meester! If Lorraine would accept my next trip for boarding I would be very appreciative! Thank you for providing excellent care!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Anthony
“Laquitta and James have been our "go to" Rover for several trips now. We like to refer to our fur baby as a velcro dog because she sticks so close to us. But it also means there aren't many Rovers she's happy about visiting. Laquitta and James are the exception. Though she's always happy to see us at the end of her stay, she loves hanging with Laquitta and James and their little fur babies.”
“We are so happy we found Lorraine. She is amazing with our dogs. She is knowledgeable and caring. Her personality is warm and bubbly and she makes you feel right at home. Her home for doggie care is amazing. Thank you.”
“María took excellent care of Fernanda! She did an amazing job and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Fernanda was happy and well cared for. Thank you so much for everything—I highly recommend María and would definitely trust her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!

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.
“Courtney has built such a wonderful bond with my dog, Clifford—he absolutely lights up every time she visits. Her communication is exceptional; she keeps me consistently updated, sends photos, and always checks in, which gives me total peace of mind. She even goes the extra mile by notifying me when packages arrive and sending photos of where they’re placed. Courtney has an incredible personality, is genuinely kind and trustworthy, and takes care of Clifford as if he were her own. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and highly recommend her.”
“Great with Zulu! Nadia has been absolutely wonderful walking our standard poodle, Zulu. She keeps a great pace and covers a solid distance on every walk—which is exactly what Zulu needs to stay healthy and happy. You can tell she truly enjoys being with dogs, and Zulu always comes back from their outings relaxed and content. Nadia is punctual, professional, and communicative. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and actually gets them moving!”

“When we go out of town, we always worry about the furry family member we leave behind. We have a 9 yo diabetic yellow lab Buddy and because of his special needs, had in the past, spend most of our trip worrying if he was getting the care he needed. Until we found rover and Rhea. She is very caring and compassionate with Buddy, giving him long walks, affection and attention to his special needs. Rheas' daily report cards and photos put our minds at ease that Buddy was well cared for in our absence. Because of Rheas' compassion for animals and dependability, we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for that special caregiver.”
“My dog is fearful of any new people and Lorraine was so patient with him! She knew just what to do and is truly a dog lover. It is such a relief to know we have someone willing to work at our pups pace and comfort level.”

“Lorraine was such a lucky find. She is very organised and professional. Jake was totally her top priority that he be safe, and secure in her care. This is paramount when I am trying to enjoy my vacation, that I can truly trust the person he is staying with. He had such a good time that I plan to continue his visits with doggie day care so he can have social time with the other pups! Thank you Lorraine!”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”
“We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!”
“Cyndi was very welcoming, clean & the sweetest! Left my pup with her for almost two weeks while out of the country and had not one worry! Updated me regularly with pictures and how he was doing! Definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
“Lila took such great care of Haze over the weekend while I was away for my daughter’s birthday. She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Haze was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”

“Thank you ladies for watching our fur baby! Sammy had a great weekend with you and we enjoyed the photo updates as well. She seemed happy in her little spot on the couch and was happy and relaxed at the end of her stay. We’ll be staying with you again!”
“Anthony was fantastic, he sent pictures to reassure me my dog was doing fine. He picked up my dog and dropped him off even though we were 40 minutes from his location, we were able to enjoy our night without worry. I definitely recommend him to everyone and will use his services again when in the area. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby!”

“Heidi was amazing! I received updates everyday along with pictures and short videos. She loved on both of my dogs (1 German Shepard and 1 pitbull) and took care of them like they were own. I wil most definitely be utilizing her services again. It was such a relief knowing my dogs were in a calm environment while I was away.❤️”
“He took really good care of our babies and sent us updates and pics to keep us at ease. He was especially good with our tiny little puppy! They definitely played hard and needed a bath when they came home! Lol!:”
“I can't recommend Faniza enough! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away, and I could tell he was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. Everything was perfect, from regular updates with photos to the little details she paid attention to, like taking her to play with another dog. When I came back, my luna was relaxed, well-exercised, and clearly had a great time. It's such a relief to find someone trustworthy and kind who connects with your pet. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
