About: Having a pet in our home for the last 20 years, I welcome yours to visit! We have a 14 year old son who loves to play with all dogs. I do work 8:00 AM -5:00 PM Monday-Friday. Weekends I am home most of the day. Our 4 legged family members are ready for playtime when I get home so thats what they get! We have a large privacy fenced back yard to keep your fur baby safe. I can kennel when I leave for work. We have a rose bushes in the yard but no other plants to worry about!
“Amanda takes such great care of my girls! She made them (& me!) feel comfortable upon arrival by showing us the room and beds they’d be staying in. My dogs can be very high energy and she was patient and helped them feel right at home!”
“There are no words to say how amazing Michelle is! My dog is 15 and has been with a dozen different boarders and I have to say I wish I met Michelle a 15 years ago because I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog anymore. She was incredible with him, and gave him all the love and care we would have given him. He had randomly lost a pound the month before I dropped him off and she miraculously got this stubborn old dog to put it back on in muscle! He’s in better shape than when I dropped him off and my mind is blown and our family couldn’t be more grateful how she really took care of our sweet baby <3 your dog won’t find a better place I promise!”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“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!”
“Shawna was absolutely amazing with Huggy! She took such great care of him while I was away for a few days, and her daily updates and photo check-ins gave me total peace of mind. Communication was super easy from start to finish, which made the whole boarding process completely stress-free. I’d trust her with Huggy again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“Reva is incredible! She was quick to respond to my initial request, and stayed in touch the whole weekend. I love that she sent me pictures throughout the day. My dog was completely happy from the second we walked in to the moment I picked him up. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate Reva! She truly treated Davey like her own 💜”
“Crystal is fantastic! I am so happy with how well my pups did with her and the great care she provided. She shared updates and pictures and is highly responsive. I appreciate her empathy and quality of connection. I look forward to working with her again!”
About: I always had cats growing up and have been a dog sitter for friends/family the past eight years. I’ve had a pup of my own for four years now and can’t imagine my life without her. I treat animals like children and understand how important it is to take care of others’ pets to their standard and beyond! I am a full-time teacher leaving my availability more limited during the school year but I am extremely open during the summer (unless I’m already booked). I do need a bit of notice but am willing to work out a plan at the last minute if possible! House sitting/Drop-Ins: I will always treat your home and belongings with the utmost respect. I’m a firm believer in leaving the home as clean or even cleaner than when I entered it. I will ensure your fur baby’s daily routine is met with careful attention to detail and comfort! Boarding: I have a fenced in backyard and a fur baby of my own to help keep yours company (but let’s do a meet and greet to make sure they get along to ensure their safety)! We love going on walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch in the backyard, hanging out inside in the AC during the hotter months, and cuddling on the couch. Sally is my only dog (Beatles is my sister’s and stays with Sally during our joint vacations). Sally is crate trained for anxiety while alone, so as a safety measure, you are required to bring a crate for your dog when boarding. Dogs will only be crated when we aren’t home. My husband will also help out with your fur baby at times, so if you’d like to meet him too, just let me know! :)
“Lucky & Bubbles always have a great time with Terra and her dogs! Lots of daily updates and it’s always nice to see how they’re doing during our trips! Thank you again and they will be back soon 💕”
“Mohini took such amazing care of my pup! I was sent updates, photos and details about how she was doing. She got walks everyday and even some extra approved treats! I’m so very grateful for the care and would highly recommend Mohini!!”
“Danielle is our go-to sitter! Our dog loves staying at her house and playing with other dogs- he is always so happy and clearly well loved when we pick him up. She is great about sending updates as well! I recommend Danielle to anyone who is looking for a kind, wonderful sitter.”
“Ana was great! Our dog (Pete) loved staying here. We received pictures or videos of him daily and Ana's response to questions was prompt and thorough. Pete had a great time playing with all the other dogs and humans and was happy and tired when he got home. Ana brought out fun activities for the dogs from time to time too, like playing with bubbles! We will definitely return - thanks Ana for treating Pete like your own dog.”

About: Someone in my family always had a cat, and I always wanted to be friends because I could never have one. I learned the hard way very young that cat trust is hard earned. Once I was old enough, cats in need of homes fell into my lap and they have taught me more patience than I ever expected, especially when handling introducing new cats to established homes. From fighting flying fur bunnies, to combating the endless litter boxes, cats after surgeries and on meds, I’ve had a lot of experience helping cats feel their most comfortable.
About: I have a lot of people on my behalf that would recommend me to sit your animals. I have the biggest heart for every animal! Dog sitting fits my schedule very well, with weekday availability after 5 PM for walks, feeding, and care, and flexible, devoted time throughout my weekends. I prefer to watch your animal at your home, ensuring comfort and familiarity for them, unless an emergency happens that requires alternate arrangements for their care.
“WOW! Monica is amazing. She was available at the last minute and very willing to watch over a kitty who was not feeling well! I had complete confidence in her upon meeting her and I was not disappointed. My cats loved her and she spoiled them with attention. I would 100% recommend having Monica watch your fur family!”
About: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoofy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕
“I’m always worried about leaving my cat Addie when I go on trips. Nicole was a terrific find! She was professional, sent daily photos/updates, and took great care of Addie. She even brought in all of my mail. I will definitely use Nicole again for future trips.”
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.
“Leah is amazing with my dogs! She takes them out three times a week for an hour, and they always come back happy and well-exercised. She’s reliable and truly cares. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely great taking care of our two cats. She took the time to play with them in addition to feeding them and taking care of their litter. Provided lots of information and pictures about the daily visits and. 5/5 would definitely recommend if you need someone to watch your fur babies!!”
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress free while you’re away.
About: Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. My whole life, my family has always had a house full of animals- from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Now, as an adult, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all with extremely unique and different personalities. I spent 6 years volunteering at my local humane society and have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. I am new to this area but if you give me a chance I promise to take the best care of your pets while building trust in this community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I have no problem waking up very early or stopping by very late and any time in between. My schedule is flexible at the moment. Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some dogs try to run out every chance they get or some dogs are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.

About: Caring for animals is truly part of my family’s everyday life. I’m not just a sitter, i’m a mom raising children with the dream of being future animal rescuers. Pet sitting is the beginning of the journey. Every pet who stays with us gets patience, playtime, and a safe, loving environment. I’m experienced with small breeds, senior pups, and pets who need a little extra running time. We treat every animal like they’re part of our home, and we’re excited to build something great through the care we give. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because animals are already a big part of our home life. We start our mornings with potty breaks, fresh water, and a little playtime before the day gets going. Throughout the day, I do work full time from home. Being home I am able to give regular attention, snuggles, and check‑ins, and my daughter loves being involved in gentle ways as she works toward her dream of becoming an animal rescuer. Evenings are for winding down, treats, and cozy time. Caring for pets isn’t something we squeeze in it’s something that naturally fits into the rhythm of our home. I’m home full time, so visiting pets get steady attention and reassurance throughout the day. I have three dogs of my own, including two rescues, and they’re all friendly, well‑socialized, and happy to welcome a new friend. A portion of my yard is set up specifically for dogs, giving them a safe place to play and explore. I’m also able to separate pets when needed, both inside and outside. With two buildings on my property and a dedicated run available, I can create calm, individual spaces for dogs who need breaks, slow introductions, or a quieter environment. Whether your pet enjoys being social or prefers a little extra space, I make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time they’re with us.

I am home 90% of the time and my husband is also home I have two small dogs and my family works as a team to provide a home atmosphere for your dogs to feel at home andbsafe
“I’m so lucky to find Ana. My dogs have never been to a dog daycare before but they had a really good time in Ana’s place. I worried about one of my dogs, Noopy since she is a little fearful of large dogs. But Ana is more than happy to help and resolve my concerns. It means a lot for me and I can’t describe how thankful I am!”

“Crystal was very sweet with Aiden and great with keeping us updated. Beautiful home with lots of room to run around! It was great knowing our pup was with someone we could trust as we spent the day on the river!”
“She took such good care of our baby. It was a last minute trip and she was willing to work with us on short notice. Our girl is exhausted and happy after her day with Alejandra. 5 Stars++++”
“Kimberly is amazing, super sweet easy to talk to! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful to have found Kimberly. My little Rosie stayed with her and loved it! Beautiful yard and home. So grateful to her for taking my girl in last minute! Would 1000% recommend.”
“Dana is a lovely human being who “gets” dogs and has made her home into a place of comfort and flexibility in response to a dog’s needs. We looked a long time for a caretaker and place that our little Velcro pandemic pup responded to positively and are so happy to have found Dana.”
“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.”

I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic youngsters to senior pets requiring gentle care and medication management. I focus on creating an stress-free, loving environment so pets stay happy and healthy while you’re away.

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize each visit with care, making sure every pet receives consistent attention, love, and companionship. I provide care in both my home and your pet’s home. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or cuddles, I ensure a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment.
“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.”
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).
“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.”
“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 :)”
About: I have been a veterinary technician/nurse for the past 13 years. My whole life is dedicated to animals and providing them compassionate care. I have worked in a general practice for the last 13 years working with companion animals (cats and dogs) but I have grown up with birds, ferrets, fish, turtles and hamsters. I also have a degree in agriculture and have cared for livestock. I truly love all animals and will always take care of each individual pet as if they were my own. I have a team of veterinary professionals that I can reach out to if there was ever an animal emergency or guidance needed. My goal is to make sure that while the pet parent is away, their loved ones are well cared for! Pet care is a daily staple for me: my job is very flexible and I am able to move my job around to tend to the needs of the pets I am caring for. Whether that’s me coming home on a regular basis or stopping by your home to a similar routine of your own. My goal is to achieve the same routine you would have while you’re home to give your loved ones the stable routine they’re used too! In home: I have property where I can take the dogs out on long walks and can play with them with a great deal of space. They will always have access to water and will feed them according to their set schedules. I have space for crates if your pets do better crated while inside and if I’m away. They will be smothered with cuddles and treats if I’m able to. Clients Home: I will make sure to adhere to the routine you have already established at home, whether that’s long walks or playing in the backyard. Stick to the feeding schedule and ensure they are stress free while you’re away.
“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!!”

About: I have 3 dogs small and large. All super well taken care of and walk atleast a mile everyday. I also groom my own pets every month. I make sure that all my pups and me get our daily exercise together by taking walks or runs. I always plan my schedules for the week around my dogs and the time I need with them. I give them so much love and get all the exercise and energy they need in the day out. They are my number 1 priority
About: I have been dog sitting on Rover for the past ten years and have loved it always. I give pet owners updates 2-3 times a day with pictures or videos of your pet so you dont have to worry about them when you’re away. I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! I live right across from a huge fenced-in dog park which we can explore anytime. We can run around all day, and when we're all tired, we can lounge on the couch and relax. I take daily walks, which your pet is welcome to join. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading every day so other than a few hours throughout the day, I am on site I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me
About: *I have been taking care of pets not only on a personal level for over 20 years but on a professional level as well for 10 years. I have prior experience as a veterinary technician assistant and can handle pets no matter what the situation may be. I have prior experience with senior pets or even pets with special needs. I of course have experience with pets that are full of energy and love to play. And we can't forget about the puppies who need help with socializing and potty training. I can also give baths, ear cleaning and nail trims as well just let me know. *All animals are unique in their own special way, they have things they like and things they do not like, while in my care I can promise that their care will be fitted to your fur babies needs while you are away. *I am always available to give your fur baby all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am available for drop ins, daycare, boarding just let me know the dates and times that you are needing and we can get it arranged. *I live in a house on a secluded 1.32 acres of land along with a large fenced yard. I have 2 small children as well but trust me I have experience with spicy animals as well as making sure safety is a priority. I have 5 friendly dogs that would love to have play dates or I can easily crate or separate my own personal pets or your pets (with your permission) if needed. If crating is not an option my house is set up to where I can keep my personal pets and your pets separated from each other without the need of crates. I also have plenty of toys and even a doggy pool to help keep your fur babies happy while you are away. I offer the option of pickup/drop offs being done but only by meeting outside, I do not want the fur babies to feel like I am taking them away from their owner. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have two beautiful children along with 5 very spoiled dogs that I consider my own children as well. I have a fenced yard and crates if you are okay with crating. I also have baby gates as well. If dogs need to have separation time that is understandable or if they need to be separated 100% of the time I can have that set up with no issues. Everyone's safety is 100% important no matter what.
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.

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.

About: Since early childhood I have been an animal lover and had the unique hands on experience of raising dogs, cats and rabbits at a young age. I’ve been training dogs since I was a teen and have been professionally training since 2018. I earned my IBPSA certification for pet care, canine behavior and dog training in November of 2022. I’ve had the pleasure of providing senior care, puppy care and medicine administration. I’m currently enrolled in Animal Behavioral College to earn my certification as a dog trainer through them. I’m self employed and can be available for your pet and their needs frequently. My schedule is flexible and allows me more time to care for your pet. I have a fenced yard, large dog run and four large dogs for companionship with your pet at home. I can crate your dog if needed. In your own home I follow your guidance on your preference of care, and am available solely for your pets needs while I am there. Walks, playtime, engagement and companionship are top priority for them while they are in my care. Walks are fun and enriching for your dog as they are encouraged to take time to relieve themselves and interact with their environment. Cats are given love and support as they prefer, my lap is ready for them if they chose to grace it with their presence and my fingers are ready for petting. Kitties are also encouraged to interact and play for some enrichment.
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: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoofy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕 ◾️ I am a full-time pet-sitter with flexible booking times, so I can accommodate a variety of times to best maintain your pet's/pets' routines! 🗓 ◾️ In-home pet care can work best for many pets, since they are in their most comfortable environment. I am happy to help care for your pet/pets in your home in the best way possible, depending on their needs and personality. I have fun taking dogs for short walks or for longer adventures 🌎, at a slow pace or jogging. I also always enjoy playing with dogs or cats 🎉, or just hanging out with them and checking on them if they're in a more chill mood. I walk dogs rain or shine and will dry their fur afterwards (as long as you and your pup are comfortable with the rain!) I always love getting to see multiple animals at once, and other cute critters like birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish are always welcome too! I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases. I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡
About: My extensive hands on experience with dogs, especially large breeds like American Bulldogs. With over 6 years of showing dogs in AKC and 4-H programs, 3-4 years as a breeder, and a lifetime of dog ownership, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and care. I’m well versed in handling the unique needs of large and strong dogs. I’m currently enrolled in college classes that are all online and don’t have a job so I’m available at almost anytime/days I may be needed. I have 4 American bulldogs all different ages that require multiple potty trips all at different times therefore I’m used to going in and out at all times of the day/ night
About: Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. My whole life, my family has always had a house full of animals- from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Now, as an adult, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all with extremely unique and different personalities. I spent 6 years volunteering at my local humane society and have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. I am new to this area but if you give me a chance I promise to take the best care of your pets while building trust in this community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I have no problem waking up very early or stopping by very late and any time in between. My schedule is flexible at the moment. Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some dogs try to run out every chance they get or some dogs are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.

About: I care very much for the well being of animals and want to make sure that the pets waiting for their owners feel safe with me. After work is usually when I will be able to, my work schedule is pretty random so I would work with the pet owners depending on how long they need me for. My backyard is nice and big enough to run around, but not secure enough for me to leave the pet alone back there. My front yard is nice too but needs the front gate fixed.
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the years and love doing it. Want to make it more full time with you. I am currently working part time. So have time to sit for your pups. I am fully flexible and willing to change schedule if needed I make sure my area is safe for my pets.I love and care for them. I have been a dog mom for years. I have senior dogs so they are cared for carefully

“Great lil stay with Samantha. For a short notice request, she was available for the time and was also flexible with my drop off and pick up time. Listened to my needs and directions for Bandit to a tea. Would recommend to any body needing a dog sitter for the day!”
“Alistair was caring and attentive towards our mini American Shepherd. We were kept updated on how our pup was doing throughout his stay, from adjusting during the first hours to all the fun he was having around Alistair's beautiful and peaceful property. We will definitely be back!”
“Highly recommend!!! She took very good care of my girl. Sent me photos of her weekend so I could see how well she was doing. Quick response with questions. Thank you Aly!!! Will be booking you in future!”
About: Having a pet in our home for the last 20 years, I welcome yours to visit! We have a 14 year old son who loves to play with all dogs. I do work 8:00 AM -5:00 PM Monday-Friday. Weekends I am home most of the day. Our 4 legged family members are ready for playtime when I get home so thats what they get! We have a large privacy fenced back yard to keep your fur baby safe. I can kennel when I leave for work. We have a rose bushes in the yard but no other plants to worry about!
“Amanda takes such great care of my girls! She made them (& me!) feel comfortable upon arrival by showing us the room and beds they’d be staying in. My dogs can be very high energy and she was patient and helped them feel right at home!”
“There are no words to say how amazing Michelle is! My dog is 15 and has been with a dozen different boarders and I have to say I wish I met Michelle a 15 years ago because I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog anymore. She was incredible with him, and gave him all the love and care we would have given him. He had randomly lost a pound the month before I dropped him off and she miraculously got this stubborn old dog to put it back on in muscle! He’s in better shape than when I dropped him off and my mind is blown and our family couldn’t be more grateful how she really took care of our sweet baby <3 your dog won’t find a better place I promise!”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“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!”
“Shawna was absolutely amazing with Huggy! She took such great care of him while I was away for a few days, and her daily updates and photo check-ins gave me total peace of mind. Communication was super easy from start to finish, which made the whole boarding process completely stress-free. I’d trust her with Huggy again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“Reva is incredible! She was quick to respond to my initial request, and stayed in touch the whole weekend. I love that she sent me pictures throughout the day. My dog was completely happy from the second we walked in to the moment I picked him up. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate Reva! She truly treated Davey like her own 💜”
“Crystal is fantastic! I am so happy with how well my pups did with her and the great care she provided. She shared updates and pictures and is highly responsive. I appreciate her empathy and quality of connection. I look forward to working with her again!”
About: I always had cats growing up and have been a dog sitter for friends/family the past eight years. I’ve had a pup of my own for four years now and can’t imagine my life without her. I treat animals like children and understand how important it is to take care of others’ pets to their standard and beyond! I am a full-time teacher leaving my availability more limited during the school year but I am extremely open during the summer (unless I’m already booked). I do need a bit of notice but am willing to work out a plan at the last minute if possible! House sitting/Drop-Ins: I will always treat your home and belongings with the utmost respect. I’m a firm believer in leaving the home as clean or even cleaner than when I entered it. I will ensure your fur baby’s daily routine is met with careful attention to detail and comfort! Boarding: I have a fenced in backyard and a fur baby of my own to help keep yours company (but let’s do a meet and greet to make sure they get along to ensure their safety)! We love going on walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch in the backyard, hanging out inside in the AC during the hotter months, and cuddling on the couch. Sally is my only dog (Beatles is my sister’s and stays with Sally during our joint vacations). Sally is crate trained for anxiety while alone, so as a safety measure, you are required to bring a crate for your dog when boarding. Dogs will only be crated when we aren’t home. My husband will also help out with your fur baby at times, so if you’d like to meet him too, just let me know! :)
“Lucky & Bubbles always have a great time with Terra and her dogs! Lots of daily updates and it’s always nice to see how they’re doing during our trips! Thank you again and they will be back soon 💕”
“Mohini took such amazing care of my pup! I was sent updates, photos and details about how she was doing. She got walks everyday and even some extra approved treats! I’m so very grateful for the care and would highly recommend Mohini!!”
“Danielle is our go-to sitter! Our dog loves staying at her house and playing with other dogs- he is always so happy and clearly well loved when we pick him up. She is great about sending updates as well! I recommend Danielle to anyone who is looking for a kind, wonderful sitter.”
“Ana was great! Our dog (Pete) loved staying here. We received pictures or videos of him daily and Ana's response to questions was prompt and thorough. Pete had a great time playing with all the other dogs and humans and was happy and tired when he got home. Ana brought out fun activities for the dogs from time to time too, like playing with bubbles! We will definitely return - thanks Ana for treating Pete like your own dog.”
“Maria ia awesome! We were very happy with Bella"s stay. Bella looked awesome when we picked her up and very excited. I recommend Maria to anyone looking for a great sitter. We will be using her in the future”
