About: I have had plenty of dogs since I was a little kid big and small. My passion is to be a vet in a few years. I’m trying to make money to go to veterinarian school. I absolutely love animals. Any kind. I am working part time with my own schedule so I will have time for your pets to play and walk ! Your pets are welcome to stay! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am an active person and will love to run and walk with them. I have a dog of my own and she is super sweet she just wants to make friends. And if your dog doesn’t like other dogs I can make that work too.

Alexander and Josephine have been absolutely the best dog sitters/boarders anybody can ask for. They took care of my dog made him feel so at home and loved that it feels like he prefers them over me (wait a minute, is this a good thing?). All jokes aside, they didn’t hesitate to continue taking care of him even after my circumstances forced me to be away for another week. They also made sure my dog felt comfortable as he could be during July 4 fireworks. And took extra care to train him a little bit when he was showing behavioral problems. Absolutely love them! They have definitely gotten a loyal client!

Autumn is amazing. Chica & Moose's experience with Autumn was like sleeping over at your bestie's, or going to summer camp! Lots of attention, adventures, treats. Lots of snuggles and fun! She sent them home with treats and a cute holiday bandana (they are so proud of them). They adore you, Autumn, thanks for everything!

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 currently work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, which means I have open availability in the mornings, evenings, and full availability on Fridays through Mondays. 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.

Jonathan always takes great care of Olive! Olive truly enjoys going to his house and hiding in all of the blankets. This is my second time leaving Olive in his care, she was happy to be going back and I could tell she remembered spending time there, that put me at ease while I was out of town. Will definitely book again in the future

I had to find a sitter unexpectedly during a trip because my original plan fell through. It was my first time being away from my dog, so I was really anxious. But Godness was so kind and responsive. She really helped ease my worries. She sent photos and videos every day, which made me feel reassured. I’m so grateful that she cared for Summer with so much love and attention. Sitters like Godness are truly rare. Thank you so much for everything!

Amy took great care of my pup, Schatzee for four nights while I was out of town. She sent me several pictures, responded quickly to my "check in" notes to see how things were going. I particularly liked Amy's home set up. She has a large fenced in yard directly behind her house, and an additional very large fence around her property. My dog is big, young, active, and "zoomie!" She needs space, sunshine, and attention - all in plentiful supply at Amy's. I recommend Amy for boarding of your dog.

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!

Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. 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!

We’ve been on Rover for about 5 years and he’s, by far, the best sitter you’ll find. Would definitely recommend and we’ll for sure be repeat customers.

Bruny is AMAZING. I am so attached to my cat also knowing that he has cancer and Bruny gave me peace knowing Rory is ok when I went travelling for Spring Break. I didn't have to worry whether if he was OK because Bruny would always send me updates and pictures of how Rory was doing. When we had our meet-up, she showed her knowledge in taking care of Rory and making sure that everything is set and ready to go. SHE IS AMAZINGGGGG! I highly recommend you booking her. Her personality is the best and she genuinely cares about taking care of your pet. My boyfriend and I just also recently rescued a cat (staying at my BF place) and she donated bowls and food for her and it was the most sweetest thing ever. Seriously, you can't go wrong with booking Bruny! I would definitely book her again.

About: An avid animal lover! I grew up with dogs. They loved me just as much as I loved them. My grandparents always had dogs since the time I was born. Their favorite one: German Rottweiler. They are beautiful dogs and so protective. I always helped my grandparents all the time with the dogs. We would have 6 or more dogs in the household all at once, so I have experience with having multiple dogs at once. Additionally, I can teach them tricks such as giving paw, sitting, laying, etc. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs as I know they required different type of care. I'll treat them like they are my own. I currently work full time during the weekdays, but I'm available after 6pm on the weekdays and all day availability on the weekends. I'll be able to provide the care they require. I don't have any dogs at home. However, I do have kids, so I understand the safety and how important it is to have a safe environment. However, currently not offering services to have dogs at my home at this time.

Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊

About: Hello, I am an animal lover of all kinds. I have always had a dog and cat among other pets in my life, whether by others or my own. In the past I volunteered as a fur baby foster parent and was fur mommy to a beautiful girl "Chula" 🐶 we adopted in 2000 and sadly after 17 years got her wings. 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. I have cared for chickens, pot belly pigs, birds am always ready to try more 😁 My schedule allows for plenty of time for cuddles, furbaby love, feeding, walks, outside time, potty time and entertaining, or just lounging hanging out 🙂 I offer the utmost respect to others and fur babies! They will receive love and feel at home and most importantly do everything I can for you and your fur baby to be comfortable. We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂

I'm currently working part-time so I have time pet sit, walk your pet, and if they need a bath or need to be fed I can do a verity. I usually go to the clients house to take care of the pets. I can't take pets at my house because I have a dog.

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.

Although Puddin is 7 years old, this was her first time ever of being cared for in someone else’s home. We have always before had a house sitter in our absence. Nina went above and beyond expectations, picking up Puddin at my office once…and keeping her very late twice when I had after-work meetings. Her communication was excellent and Puddin was happy to see her each time. This was a good experience and I am grateful for how flexible and gracious Nina was for what was needed to make Puddin feel secure and my wife and I feel confident in Puddin’s care during a week when my wife needed to be away at a conference. Thank you, Nina!

This is Alexander and Josephine’s second time watching Merlin and I am so appreciative of them. They allowed me to drop him off relatively early in the morning, sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, and made sure he was fed before I picked him up. Merlin absolutely loves staying with them, as evident by his whining and excitement when we arrived outside their home. Whenever they’re available, they are my #1 choice for watching Merlin.

About: My name is Valentina. I'm 32 years old, I'm one of the Foster Coordinators at a local shelter and I currently own 5 pets. 2 dogs and 3 cats. I've been working at the Humane Society of North Central Florida as a Foster Coordinator for 6 years, and it has been the greatest joy of my life. I spent 40 hours a week surrounded by cats and dogs and I can confidently say your pet will be in good hands. I was born and raised in a family where we love all kinds of pets and since I have memory I've always been surrounded by them in my own home. I've had cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, chickens and I have come to learn and appreciate each animal for their uniqueness and love they give in their own way. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, but my favorites are baby animals. I love caring for newborns and even though is hard work, it's very rewarding in the end. My love for animals is immeasurable and your pet will ALWAYS be my priority. I will make you feel safe and secure that your pet is in capable hands :) I work at a local shelter Monday through Thursday from 8-6. My own animals are fed and walked before I leave for work but my husband, who spends a lot of time at home, makes sure to take them out to potty/play time multiple times a day. On the weekends we are always making aure we go to a dog park or any fun activity like that. My 5 pets are super friendly (I have 2 dogs and 3 cats). My home is not fenced but my pets never leave my side. I can leash walk your pet and make sure is never left unattended while outside. I also crate my pets at night or when I’m not home.

I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 6 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: Hello, I am an animal lover of all kinds. I have always had a dog and cat among other pets in my life, whether by others or my own. In the past I volunteered as a fur baby foster parent and was fur mommy to a beautiful girl "Chula" 🐶 we adopted in 2000 and sadly after 17 years got her wings. 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. I have cared for chickens, pot belly pigs, birds am always ready to try more 😁 My schedule allows for plenty of time for cuddles, furbaby love, feeding, walks, outside time, potty time and entertaining, or just lounging hanging out 🙂 I offer the utmost respect to others and fur babies! They will receive love and feel at home and most importantly do everything I can for you and your fur baby to be comfortable. We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂

About: I’ve work with dogs and other animals for the last 8 years. From puppies to seniors and everything in between. I’ve also helped train a few service dogs and actively show and compete in sports with my own dog. My life is centered around my dog and I work from home. I can be extremely flexible to fit almost any need or rigorous schedule. I have an apartment by myself, with my 1 dog, with nice trails and fenced in areas to let pets play off leash. I also have different enrichment toys and other exercises for physical and mental stimulation.

Alexander and Josephine have been absolutely the best dog sitters/boarders anybody can ask for. They took care of my dog made him feel so at home and loved that it feels like he prefers them over me (wait a minute, is this a good thing?). All jokes aside, they didn’t hesitate to continue taking care of him even after my circumstances forced me to be away for another week. They also made sure my dog felt comfortable as he could be during July 4 fireworks. And took extra care to train him a little bit when he was showing behavioral problems. Absolutely love them! They have definitely gotten a loyal client!

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 currently work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, which means I have open availability in the mornings, evenings, and full availability on Fridays through Mondays. 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.

Jonathan always takes great care of Olive! Olive truly enjoys going to his house and hiding in all of the blankets. This is my second time leaving Olive in his care, she was happy to be going back and I could tell she remembered spending time there, that put me at ease while I was out of town. Will definitely book again in the future

Amy took great care of my pup, Schatzee for four nights while I was out of town. She sent me several pictures, responded quickly to my "check in" notes to see how things were going. I particularly liked Amy's home set up. She has a large fenced in yard directly behind her house, and an additional very large fence around her property. My dog is big, young, active, and "zoomie!" She needs space, sunshine, and attention - all in plentiful supply at Amy's. I recommend Amy for boarding of your dog.

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!

Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. 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!

Lamaris was an outstanding dog sitter! He was professional, punctual, and incredibly flexible when it came to changes in the pickup schedule. Throughout the stay, he kept me updated with adorable photo updates of my dog, Thor, and clearly went above and beyond to pamper him. I highly recommend Lamaris and will definitely be rebooking with him in the future!

About: I always had dogs growing up in my household and have so much love for them & all other animals. I do have a dog myself & have lots of experience with dog behaviors, medications, dog food, etc. I am a 4th year Animal Science student on a pre-veterinary track at UF & I’m a veterinary assistant at an amazing clinic. When I can, on my free time, I also take the time to volunteer at the Humane Society of North Central Florida. I’ve dogsitted many years for friends & family. I do know how expensive doggy daycares & boarding can be so I wanted to sign up and help pawrents that need a more affordable option. When I’m not working, I have lots & lots of time to hang around your pups, give them company, or just simply walk them! If you have any specific requests, I’m more than happy to accommodate however you’d like. I do live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard but I do walk my girl 3 times a day & she can help keep your baby company. I also have a dog crate and can use it for your pup if you’d like. On some days, I take my baby to the dog park for an hour and can have your pup tag along if you feel comfortable with that.

Teagan was a wonderful host for my Five Year Old pups first time boarding. She helped me out in a last minute booking while we were at the hospital for a day. She went above and beyond for the care she gave my little one. I am very much thankful for Teagan, and if we have to ever again do an overnight stay or just a day visit to Shands again I will always seek Teagan out every time.

PEACH is a rambunctious puppy of 4 months and Darby took her on for a second time. PEACH comes home obnvioysly well cared for and happy and seems to particularly like Darby's own dog ("Wab") and her significant other. We have two more short trips planned in the next 2 months and (hopefully) Darby will be available. Darby sent us photos daily (nice touch I may add) and she has plenty of space in the backyard and a very nice attitude. We'd definitely like to use her often in the future!

Wilhelmina was fantastic! Maddie had such a great time there than I think she was even depressed coming home! It was that good! If I could I'd give 6 stars. Wilhelmina was very loving with Maddie and treated her as her own. Her dog, Olive, was very friendly and they got along really well. Lots of pictures, videos and updates. Highly recommend Wilhelmina as a sitter.
