“Stefhany was super communicative and so loving with our dog. She has a great outdoor space for animals and a very animal friendly and loving home. You will not be disappointed if you decide to choose her to watch your pet. They were kind , accomodating, and made my dog feel at ease the moment we walked in. Couldn’t have been happier for my first time using rover to find a pet sitter. Thank you!!”

“Anas and Tate were amazing with our doodle puppy, Toni, during our trip to Gainesville for UF graduation. After a last-minute cancellation from our original sitter, we were stressed—but meeting Anas put us completely at ease. He was kind, professional, and kept us updated with photos and videos. Toni clearly had a great time! We’re so grateful and highly recommend them to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter.”

“This is the third time we have had Rowan take care of our dog. She does a wonderful job and keeps us informed with updates the whole time. We will continue to use Rowan to care for our dog.”

“Alexander was great! I was nervous leaving my senior dog because he’s become more anxious as he has aged but I felt so comfortable leaving Rudy with him for 2 weeks. I will definitely be rebooking with Alexander anytime we need a sitter!”
“Ashley H. was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly caring. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care. Throughout the stay, Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My Rocky B. was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality. I would highly recommend Ashley H. to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter on Rover. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Did so good with my dog, sent updates, and loving towards her. Elisa has a great big backyard and followed instructions with my dog. Elisa was very personable with us and so kind. Exactly what my dog needed. I would leave my dog there with her again.”


“Kailyn was awesome! She sent us photos and updates frequently! Our girls loved her! Our standard poodle struggles with separation anxiety and she made her stay extra special and comfortable! Would highly recommend! 10/10”
“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.”

“Adam was a great communicator and was great with our dog! He was able to accommodate a last-minute request for an earlier drop-off and sent regular updates about how things were going. Would definitely recommend him and leave Mochi with him again!!”

“Lindsay did a great job taking care of our two pups! She is very friendly & our dogs warmed right up to her. She was also great at communicating & asking questions to make sure that she was meeting our pups needs.”

“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!”

“Diana and her family were wondering. She answered all my questions. She sent pictures and videos daily. I love that there is plenty of yard for playtime. Me and my fur babies were very happy. I will definitely use Diana again. Highly recommend.”

“Joseph took great care of our dog, Poppy. His entire family showed Poppy love & kindness the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend this sitter as your next go to!”

“Awesome first experience leaving our big puppy! Ms. Lorraine was very nice, sent daily updates and made our puppy feel safe. Her place is clean and dog friendly! We will definitely be returning!”

“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”

“I needed a pet sitter last minute and was very nervous about using a sitter through an app versus someone I knew. Montana was absolutely amazing and kept me updated throughout her visits and even made sure it’s OK for my cat patches to go on the balcony before allowing her to do so. I highly recommend booking with her as she is amazing.”


“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!”


“Debbie was so good with my cat, Toshi. She was always on time, communicating during each visit with updating me with photos. She cared for him exactly as was needed. I would definitely recommend her for your own pet care needs.”


“Jonathan was willing to help me out super last minute to give my Gargy a good long walk when I got called into work. He let me know when he was on the way, walking him, and heading out and left a few pictures as well! I will definitely be keeping him in mind in the future :)”


“Courtney was so sweet and accommodating for my cat, Birdie! We contacted her with only 2 days notice and she made it work seemingly effortlessly! She was sweet to Birdie and very detailed! So glad we were able to book with her!”


About: I've been a cat owner since 2014, starting with my Pepper girl and currently working with my partner to blend our 4 cat family together, introducing his Chimera girl to my three babies. I would love to spend time giving your sweet kitty babies some love while you're away and have absolutely no issue scooping litter boxes each visit.
“Marie is fantastic!! I was nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of somebody I didn't know but she made this the best experience! All of my animals loved her and it was so nice having peace of mind that they were well cared for while I was gone. 100000% will use Marie again!!”

About: Always been around animals and every dog is treated like my own kids :) I love animals and spending time with them . Spoiling them . I work full time Monday through Friday but can definitely fit in evenings and weekends . I will gladly walk and care for pets in my spare time. Follow the owners wishes and respect the pets like they’re my own kids. Always respect the pets and their boundaries. Love and care for pets .
“Stephanie is a great pet sitter. She went above and beyond what was asked of her in order to make sure my cat was comfortable and well cared for, despite being a last minute booking. She made sure he was comfy and was able to work with his raw food diet. An absolute gem.”


“Daniel is amazing!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch and take care of my cats! He sent a lot of photos and kept us updated regularly. He really goes above and beyond to make sure your animals are cared for exactly as you wished.”

About: Hey! My name is Bethany 😁 I love handing a helping hand when it comes to our best friends. Lived my whole life having pets. Currently i have 2 cats, 1 bunny, 1 betta, and 6 aquarium snails. I studied and graduated as a veterinarian assistant from a votech high school. While In school we worked on dogs twice a week. Taking care of them included grooming, baths, exercise, feeding, giving medications, and sometimes just cuddles. A few days outta the year we would have birds, lizards, bunnies, or even horses. If you decide to book me just know your fluffy baby is my number one priority. I’ll take care of them as if they were my own!! I work part time overnight from midnight til about 4:30/5am and then the remainder of the day I am home with my son and animals. I take care of pets as if they were my own children. I like routines and I love cuddles. Does your pet have special care that’s ok I adapt to what is needed!

“Sharon was a lifesaver when I got stranded across the country because of Hurricane Ian. She went above and beyond to make sure my babies were taken care of and my house was safe and secure. I am so grateful to her.”

“Chantel was excellent, would definitely use again. We were just in the area for Thanksgiving week and needed someone to come by our rental house to walk our dogs while we did some sightseeing. My standard poodles loved her.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Citra
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“I recently needed a last minute dog sitter for my two high energy pups while I was away for a day, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Brenda. From the very first meeting, she was warm, professional, and genuinely cared about my dogs’ well-being. She gave me a walk through of her home and showed me where the pups would be and how they have plenty of backyard space with shade to run around and play. She sent the most amazing pictures of my pups playing and swimming, which put my mind completely at ease. My dogs looked happy, well-exercised, which they need as a high energy breed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and truly attentive with your fur babies, I highly recommend Brenda.”


“Toby was so happy; he appeared as though he had a full day. Noah was so kind and understanding as he responded diligently to my abundant text messages. But, most important of all, Toby interacted positively with a cat for the first time. Thank you, Noah!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience in pet care both professional and personal combined! Everything from small animal care to equine care. I have spent the last 15+ years working in doggy day care and boarding facilities and have worked with all types of temperaments and behavioral concerns. During this time I have been able to determine which things work best and which things don’t which helps me care for your pups with full confidence! I also have a degree in Veterinary Technology (Vet Tech) which helps build confidence in people for me to properly care for their pets and handle emergency situations with the proper attention. I also gained a wealth of knowledge on how to care for pets with medical conditions and senior care. I have a near full acre of land which is all fenced in for full roaming and fun! I also have a pool which is available for your pup if they love to swim! Boarding dogs will have their own designated area that is climate controlled and separate from any others who may be spending the night so they feel safe and comfortable for their entire stay! Pick up and drop off services available within 10 miles. Basic grooming (shampoo, conditioner, brush, blow dry and nail trims) available. I do have 3 dogs of my own as well on the property but only 1 of them will be mingling with yours and helping them feel at home! ***if your dog does not do well with other dogs, please do not hesitate to reach out as I may still be able to accommodate them for an additional charge as this will require more individualized care*** Because this is a residential property, in an effort to be good neighbors and provide the best possible stay for your pup, if they exhibit any of these behaviors, our property may not be the best fit for them! -Can jump a 4ft fence -Barks excessively -Digs excessively -Escapes fences, crates or other barriers -Has barrier frustration/aggression with neighboring animals This is all I do so I am always home and will have plenty of time to spend with your babies and ensure they are well exercised and are provided with plenty of individualized care and all the fun imaginable! I will follow your standard routine to keep your babies comfortable and in a setting they are most comfortable with! I follow directions very well and am able to make adjustments where I see fit. Daycare and boarding dogs will have the ability to roam the property and play in a very small group, never more than 4 dogs will ever be on the property and all dogs must pass a meet and greet process to participate! Boarding dogs will be enjoying their own designated areas for bedtime and midday naps which is climate controlled and private for their safety and comfort during their entire stay!
“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!!”

“Kim was great! So caring of my boy and very nice about any delays on my part. Gave lovely updates and pictures that helped ease my mind when leaving my pup with a dog sitter for the first time. Keeper will definitely go back!”

“Julia and Allen were fantastic with our boys. We love that they limit the number of dogs they care for to 4. They followed instructions to a tee and made it where we could have zero concerns about our pups. Would highly recommend them.”
“Cannot say enough good things about Lesly and Josh! They took such special care of my Lily. They were able to work with me and be flexible when I was stuck at work and couldn’t collect her right away. You can tell they truly care about the babies in their care ♥️”

“She did an outstanding job with our puppy! I was really nervous leaving her with a dog sitter, since this being our first time.. but we got pictures/videos the whole time we were away!”

About: ☀️ 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. 🗓️ Schedule and Booking Process To make sure every booking is safe, smooth, and a good fit, I require a free 15 minute meet and greet for all new clients. This takes place at the location where care will happen and helps ensure your pet’s comfort, safety, and compatibility with my services. -Exceptions Cats and puppies under 5 months do not require a meet and greet -Returning clients can fast track bookings Please schedule your meet and greet at least 72 hours before your first requested booking so we have time to coordinate properly. After your 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 meet and greet so I can learn the new setup. 🚶♀️ Dog Walks and Drop Ins I batch dog walks and cat drop in visits into efficient routes using flexible time windows. This allows me to reduce travel time while still providing thoughtful, attentive care. Dog care windows Standard visits typically occur between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM Morning visits may begin as early as 8:00 AM Evening visits are available for dogs who need extra flexibility Cat care Preferred visit window is 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM If medications or strict timing are required, I adjust visits to meet those needs Dogs are typically prioritized earlier in the day due to restroom needs, but all pets receive the same level of care and attention. 🐾 Premium Boarding Boarding is a high end, in home service designed for clients who want a fully hands off experience. At this time, boarding is available only to dogs who already have an established walk or drop in routine with me. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable with my home, routine, and resident pets. While boarding with me, your dog will -Live in home as part of the household -Be the only boarding guest, receiving one on one attention -Receive daily enrichment and engagement -Enjoy supervised access to my private Sniffspot for play, sniffing, and decompression -Enrichment may include -Food puzzles such as West Paw Toppl meals -Nature walks or hikes in San Felasco, weather permitting -Field trips to quiet recreational fields when no other animals are present -Most dogs return home happy, fulfilled, and ready to nap. 🚨 Behavior Expectations and Safety The safety of my personal pets is a top priority. Dogs boarding with me must be comfortable around cats and respectful toward my personal dog. If a dog shows aggression toward any resident pets, boarding may be ended immediately. In these cases, care will be converted to drop in visits at your home for feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. 🚗 Premium Pick Up and Drop Off For added convenience, I offer a luxury pet transport add on. I can personally pick up and drop off your dog along my daily walking route No handoffs needed, simply leave your dog at home This service is priced to reflect the time, travel, and personalized care involved ⛔ Important Booking Policies -One free meet and greet is included for new clients -Additional meet ups should be booked as a walk or drop in to cover time and travel -All pets must be listed on your Rover profile prior to booking -You have 48 hours after the meet and greet to confirm your booking before the time slot may be released -House Sitting and Drop In services follow a 7 day cancellation policy If you have questions or special circumstances, I’m always happy to talk things through. In my home, pets and plants are family, and every animal in my care is treated with the same level of respect and attention. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. Some thrive on companionship, others prefer play, structure, or quiet encouragement. My goal is to be a steady, calm presence your pet can rely on while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or hosting them for a field trip at The Zoomie Zone, I focus on creating a safe, enriching, and low stress environment that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing. During each visit, you’ll receive a detailed update through the Rover Card, including notes on meals, potty breaks, mood, and anything noteworthy from our time together. Occasionally, if your pet gives me a particularly great moment, I may also send a favorite edited photo directly. Unless something truly needs your attention, I won’t interrupt your vacation, work trip, or conference. I aim to be both your pet’s advocate and your peace of mind while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority for both your pet and myself. If a pet displays aggression, severe anxiety, or behavior that creates an unsafe situation, I will still ensure their basic needs are met, including food, water, and potty breaks. However, I may shorten a visit to avoid escalating stress. This policy is in place out of care and caution for everyone involved. 🛏️ Crate and Confinement Requirement for Boarding For boarding stays, dogs must be comfortable with crate use or confinement behind a baby gate or similar barrier. This is a non-negotiable requirement. At night and during times when dogs are not being actively supervised, boarding dogs are safely confined. This allows my personal pets appropriate rest and space, and ensures all dogs remain safe when I am asleep or briefly out of the house. Crates or gated areas are used as calm, neutral spaces rather than punishment. If your dog typically uses a crate, pen, or gated area at home, please let me know their routine so I can keep things as familiar and low stress as possible. If a dog is not currently comfortable with any form of safe confinement, boarding may not be the right fit at this time. I’m always happy to discuss alternatives or help determine whether a gradual transition would be appropriate.
“Cyndi is fantastic! She is so thoughtful and caring. She took such great care of our sweet puppy. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day of my dog running, playing and getting lots of love. Cyndi even let me use her discount code as it was my first time using rover. That was incredibly thoughtful! I very much highly recommend her!”

“Manny, Jessica, and Cash have been a dream come true. My dog cannot be left alone and they accommodate him with open arms. They communicate immediately and I have zero worry when he is there. Thanks all for making my life easier!”


“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.”

My family and I always include our fur babies in everything, at holidays, sometimes it seemed to be more dogs 🐶 of all sizes then people 😊. I want to help you feel at ease and have piece of mind when you are away by providing the utmost respect, fun and care for an important member of the family☺️ I can provide a loving and warm inviroment with 3 arces fully fenced yard.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.

I do not do boarding at my house unfortunately, do to my house being full of animals, I have 2 cats & 2 dogs in my household.
About: I am a huge animal lover, who enjoys spending time with dogs and cats of all kinds, I have a couple of cats at home, but I’ve always had a special love for dogs too. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some cuddle time, on the couch, I love making pets feel happy and cared for. I currently work from home and make my own schedule. I also have a very reliable car so I am very flexible with a schedule. I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home, keeping their routine, just the way they like it. From feeding, playtime, and walks to cuddles and companionship, I make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.
About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.
About: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 5 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Sometimes up to 5 dogs at a time and horses too! So I have lots of experience with animals of various sizes. From chihuahuas and cocker spaniels to German Shepherds and poodles. I currently own a very friendly sterilized full sized golden doodle. He loves all dogs, humans and human puppies and he is down to play non-stop or nap all afternoon. Either one is fine with him. My dog is up to date on vaccines and flea + tick medication. I live in a house on .25 acres with 6ft fenced back yard. Large couch with pup-covers. Kiddie pool available for those who like to swim. Whether your pup is staying with me, or we are going on a walk, they are sure to have fun and I will spoil them just as I would my own! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m home most of the day. Lots of time for pets and walks. Happy to adapt my schedule to your pups needs. Let me know what the ideal day looks like for them. I have a 1/4 acre yard with a 6ft privacy fence. I also have a large doggie door where my pup can go in and out when they please.
About: As a proud dog dad and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their fur babies while they’re away, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including check-ins, walks, playtime, treats, feeding, and plenty of companionship to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I also have a fenced backyard with space for pets to run around, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship to make sure pets stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also make time for regular exercise, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention so every pet gets the care they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure while away from home. I make sure pets are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and I keep my home pet-friendly and free of hazards. I also follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special precautions. My goal is to create a calm and loving atmosphere where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.
About: I’ve spent most of my life taking care of dogs & cats. I have always lived in a home with pets and in addition I have been the go-to caretaker for family and friends’ pets. I have been around all kinds of dog breeds and varied ages including puppies and senior dogs. I’ve been on Rover for years now and have been pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I love Rover because I get the opportunity to be around so many wonderful animals! I’m very open with my availability, lots of free time to dedicate towards bonding with your animal/s and taking them outdoors. Happy to work around whatever is best for you! I live in a quiet apartment community with room for walks. Services depend on your booking- I am available to board your pets in my home if needed or if you’d prefer I can care for them in your home while you are away.
About: I love Rover! I mean, what better job exists than to get paid to spend time with other people's animals? My name is Dan, and I have been around animals my whole life. Currently I am a cat dad of two girls, but I am also comfortable and familiar with dogs, rabbits, and other animals as well. I currently live in a large three bedroom. The property is out in the country, but only a few miles away from Gainesville, so it's far enough to be away from the sounds and stress of the city without really being in the middle of nowhere. It's not the fanciest place, in need of remodeling, but it is calm, comfortable, and pet friendly. There is no smoking inside. The property is not fenced, so I will be keeping everyone inside, except for supervised walks, etc. I am able to board cats, most dogs, and other animals as well. I work from home in addition to doing this, so when I do have a furry guest, I am home twenty four hours a day. I like to actually spend time with the animals I have visiting, so if you have a super playful dog- or one that just likes to hang out on the couch next to someone- I'd probably be a good match. If I am not boarding anyone at the moment, I can walk dogs, feed cats, etc, as well, as long as you are not too far away from where I live. Things I require: 1. I need to meet your animals first (especially for dogs). 2. If I don't feel comfortable , or I feel like an animal is not comfortable with me, I will not confirm the booking. Animals are just like people, we all have those we like and don't like, so don't take it personal if I decline a booking. 3. I do need emergency contact and vet information. I hope I never have to deal with any emergency, but it is better to be prepared and ready, than to be running around scrambling if something does happen. 4. Of course, I need as much food, etc, as is needed for the stay. Things I offer: 1. Lots of attention. Of course, some animals- especially some cats- aren't really keen on it, and that's okay! But if they are, I love to play with my guests! 2. I don't mix animals from different families. 3. I don't charge extra for extra cats, and I only charge a little bit extra for extra dogs. I have been doing this off and on for some time now, and while I don't have as many clients as I want to have, my reviews are good and solid for a reason. I have my own two cats who take up all my time when I'm not out taking care of other people's animals, or otherwise working. The only time I'm usually not available is if I have already made prior commitments. I treat animals like they are children, because to me, they are. My own two are my favorite people in this world, but I love animals in general. I especially enjoy cats, friendly dogs, and giant rabbits. 😃 I like to treat each cat, dog, rabbit, etc, as the unique personality they are. Some cats, for example, are a little more standoffish than others. The best thing to do with them is to not push them. Nobody cat or human likes someone standing in front of them demanding attention ! Some dogs, for example, are very laid back and really just want to lay next to you and snuggle. Others are always ready to play! I am knowledgeable about safety, and when I am doing a drop in visit, I always keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look right. When I am dog walking, I like to go places that are less traveled, I keep my attention fully on them, and on everything going on around us. When I am with your animals, they are my first and only priority.
About: I have always loved pet sitting for my aunts friends and my family, It brings so much joy and the animals I care for always love being with me. I am currently a full time student, pet-sitting is a flexible job that I love doing, and it works best with my busy school schedule. I will always make sure the dogs are on leashes being aware of the surroundings for their and mine safety. Also being aware when in the house for the other animals, like cats, making sure everything is okay and watching if I go out the house.

“Anas and Tate were amazing with our doodle puppy, Toni, during our trip to Gainesville for UF graduation. After a last-minute cancellation from our original sitter, we were stressed—but meeting Anas put us completely at ease. He was kind, professional, and kept us updated with photos and videos. Toni clearly had a great time! We’re so grateful and highly recommend them to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter.”

“I could tell Olive have a wonderful time with Jonathan. She enjoyed being a couch potato and he comforted her during the storms. Will definitely reach out in the future for boarding if needed!”

“This is the third time we have had Rowan take care of our dog. She does a wonderful job and keeps us informed with updates the whole time. We will continue to use Rowan to care for our dog.”

“Taylor is amazing. It is obvious how much she loves all animals - I swear our fur babies come home better behaved than when I left them :). She is dependable, caring and affordable and you will be so glad you used her pet-services.”

“I had to leave town due to a emergency and Brenda took my dog and made her feel right at home during her stay. Not only did she update me consistently but she also took photos to show me how happy she was! She actually spent time with my dog, getting to know every little detail so she could learn her effectively. She gave my dog (ginger) the love and respect she needed. I would go back to Brenda 10/10 times, you won't find a more caring attentive person!”

“Alexander was great! I was nervous leaving my senior dog because he’s become more anxious as he has aged but I felt so comfortable leaving Rudy with him for 2 weeks. I will definitely be rebooking with Alexander anytime we need a sitter!”
“Ashley H. was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly caring. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care. Throughout the stay, Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My Rocky B. was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality. I would highly recommend Ashley H. to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter on Rover. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Michelle and Heidi were the sweetest sitters! They took great care of our 1-year-old pup, sent us photos and videos, were super responsive, and most importantly, when we came to pick him up, he seemed happier than ever! Their living room is stocked with dog toys, and their home is quiet, calm, pet-safe, and has plenty of space for dogs to play. Thank you, Michelle and Heidi! We’ll definitely be back!”


“Kailyn was awesome! She sent us photos and updates frequently! Our girls loved her! Our standard poodle struggles with separation anxiety and she made her stay extra special and comfortable! Would highly recommend! 10/10”
“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.”

“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!”

“Joseph took great care of our dog, Poppy. His entire family showed Poppy love & kindness the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend this sitter as your next go to!”

“Awesome first experience leaving our big puppy! Ms. Lorraine was very nice, sent daily updates and made our puppy feel safe. Her place is clean and dog friendly! We will definitely be returning!”

“It was really great having Vanessa taking care of my dog. She was really great informing us of how our dog was doing through the day and she was really sweet with our dog. We are truly grateful for a peaceful trip knowing our dog was being taken care of.”


“Lauren welcomed Cooper into her home as though he was her own. He stayed two full weeks with Lauren and her family and she updated us daily with photos and an activity list. Cooper was thrilled to be cared for so lovingly as illustrated by the fact that he wasn’t diving into our vehicle when we arrived. Also, he’s crashing this minute, so we know he was busy having fun. Anyone would be fortunate to have Lauren care for their pet.”

“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”

“Every time I go away, Sequoia goes to Cyndi's. Cyndi and her family treat her with love and care, and Sequoia loves them right back! There's nobody I would trust more with my dog.”

“Janelly did an amazing job taking care of our fur baby! They sent us pictures and videos throughout the day of Finn who had a great time going on walks, playing with the other puppies, and hanging out with their family!”
