Cooper had so much fun in Anas and Tate’s big backyard! It was shaded and comfortable. He had fun with doggy friends and played so much. They sent us photos and videos. I will only book with them from now on. I trust them to take care of our puppy 💜

This was the 2nd time our pup, Romeo, has stayed with Nina. She has made him feel comfortable and right at home, evident in all the pictures and videos she provided during his stay. During this last visit, Nina went above and beyond by crafting Romeo a sweater to take home as well as having him participate in some arts and crafts projects as a gift to us. We appreciate Nina watching our pup while we’re out of town and will definitely be using her for any future needs and recommending her to our friends. Thank you Nina and Piccolo!

We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover! Chris was simply amazing. We were a little nervous leaving our three pups for the first time, but after a meet-and-greet the day before drop-off, we felt completely at ease. Throughout their 5-day stay, Chris sent us regular updates and photos, and it was clear our dogs felt totally at home. When we went to pick them up, they didn’t want to leave—they kept following Chris back into the house! It was such a comforting feeling knowing they were so well cared for and happy. Thank you, Chris! We’ll absolutely be reaching out again next time we need a sitter.

About: I had my two fur kids for the last 14 years and they were my best friends! I am recently an empty nester from being a dog mama and I am missing the companionship. All of my friends say I am their go to Dog Walker and Dog Sitter 🐶🐶 when they travel so I figured I would meet more furry friends this way! I run my business and am fully remote so I can be available any day of the week and hours that are convenient for you. I would be happy to come take your pup for a walk during the day or if you need overnight visits, I can bring them to me.

Mary was terrific! Mary checked on our 15 year old girl (Cali) 4x a day and when we got home we could tell Cali had been well looked after because she was happy and lively (Cali is usually sad and cross with us when we first get home, but not this time!). Mary took great care to give Cali her different morning and evening pills, add fish oil for joints onto her food, take super cute photos, and even get some brushing in. It was so nice to know that Cali was in such good hands. We really look forward to booking again!

About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including a Cairn Terrier, Beagle, and Golden Retriever. While most of my experience has been through caring for my own pets and helping neighbors with their dogs, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the week. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to follow any specific instructions to help your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: First time clients take $20 OFF your first booking with promo code AMANDF33991 🚨 Important Update: Limited Availability 🚨 Hey friends! I'm now working full-time (roughly 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) but still offering pet care — just with a few changes to keep things safe, sane, and high quality. 💬 Here’s what’s new: • I’m only accepting one family unit at a time — whether that’s one dog or several from the same household. • My listed availability is capped at 2 dogs, but if you're a multi-dog household (3+), feel free to message me directly. I can open up availability for your crew as long as you're all from the same pack. • Even though I work during the weekdays, I still come home for midday potty breaks. • This setup is especially ideal for senior dogs, pups with anxiety, or anyone who just needs a calm, quiet place to hang while their humans are away. Thanks for sticking with me through the schedule shift! I’m still all about providing calm, experienced, personalized care, just in a slightly more streamlined way. Stress-free, All Day Farm Fun For Your Furry Family Members Former Pet Care Specialists for Best Friends Petcare @ Walt Disney World. I grew up in a family run shar-pei kennel. As an adult, in addition to my own pets, I worked as a kennel assistant, pet sitter, vet tech (ER and Internal medicine experience) and as a pet care specialist for Disney and PetSmart pet hotels. I have also worked with pet rescues my entire adult life. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, horses and livestock. I'm very comfortable dealing with anxious pets and those with significant medical needs. I am currently working in human medicine but animals were my first love and are still my passion, and my life is incomplete without them. I am looking forward to transitioning back to pet care exclusively by the end of the year. I currently have 2 rooms in my home, so my availability is set to 2 pets for boarding, because I can house 2 "family units." For multi-dog families please message for updated availability.

Alexander was AWESOME. At the last minute he was able to dog sit my grand pup Dakota, when my daughter was not able to find care in Tallahassee. Finding trusting individuals to take care of your precious babies can be hard. Alexander sent us pictures and check in several times to keep us posted on her health progress.

Danielle was really nice and Shadow loved her. She had other dogs besides her own, but made sure that everyone was happy and did not get stressed out. Shadow loved the back yard, chasing butterflies, and playing with the Australian Shepherd. She got brushing at the end of the days she was there to get the sand off. She was tired out, which was great. She is still a puppy at 15 months. Thank you.

About: ☀️ 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.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, recently lost my first dog I owned on my own due to sickness. Work from home 3 days a week and home on weekends. I’m an active sitter who believes dogs thrive with frequent walks, playtime, and structure, not just being let outside. Whether your dog loves long walks, backyard zoomies, or relaxed companionship, I tailor care to their energy level and routine. I currently WFH 3 days a week and in office 2 days a week. Home on weekends, with an almost 2 year old human (attends daycare during week). I go on frequent walks or runs, spend plenty of time outside. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run or relax. I can easily crate your fur bay if needed. Love cuddles and company if they are the cuddly type.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including a Cairn Terrier, Beagle, and Golden Retriever. While most of my experience has been through caring for my own pets and helping neighbors with their dogs, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the week. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to follow any specific instructions to help your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

Maria is FABULOUS with both animals and people. She always goes above and beyond in terms of her care of both my dog, Lou, and I. Maria provides daycare to Lou during the week. Lou enjoys playing (and sunbathing) in Maria's big back yard along with her two sweet standard poodles and also enjoys watching television with her children. The moment Lou met Maria he fell in love with her, and he runs straight to her door and to her the moment we arrive at her home (after being welcomed and inspected by her poodles, of course). I am repeatedly using Maria to care for Lou and will continue to do so as long as she is willing to take us in. I tell her often I am so grateful to have found her.

He was available to walk my dog Archie and also taught him some leash behavioral techniques while I was out of the country during the holidays. I enjoyed all of the photos he took during their walks. Humberto is very communicative and fast-responding! I very much would like to book him again if the need arises!

About: I have 2 cats and a dog of my own, all of which I’ve adopted in the past 2 years. I grew up on a cattle farm in Wisconsin so I enjoy working with all types of animals. Since working in healthcare for the past 5 years, my love for taking care of others (including their pets) has grown immensely. I promise to care for and love your pet as my own. I currently work 2 part-time jobs but the total hours per week can range from 10-30 so I tend to have a good amount of free time. There is only about 3-5 days per month that I am unavailable the entire day. I live in a community with plenty of trails and dog runs. I am within walking distance of several parks including picnic island. I truly enjoy walking animals even in the Florida heat so I always make sure to bring plenty of water, toys, and a towel for resting. I’ve trained my cats to go on walks with me so I have also learned how to sense most pets’ needs.

About: First time clients take $20 OFF your first booking with promo code AMANDF33991 🚨 Important Update: Limited Availability 🚨 Hey friends! I'm now working full-time (roughly 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) but still offering pet care — just with a few changes to keep things safe, sane, and high quality. 💬 Here’s what’s new: • I’m only accepting one family unit at a time — whether that’s one dog or several from the same household. • My listed availability is capped at 2 dogs, but if you're a multi-dog household (3+), feel free to message me directly. I can open up availability for your crew as long as you're all from the same pack. • Even though I work during the weekdays, I still come home for midday potty breaks. • This setup is especially ideal for senior dogs, pups with anxiety, or anyone who just needs a calm, quiet place to hang while their humans are away. Thanks for sticking with me through the schedule shift! I’m still all about providing calm, experienced, personalized care, just in a slightly more streamlined way. Stress-free, All Day Farm Fun For Your Furry Family Members Former Pet Care Specialists for Best Friends Petcare @ Walt Disney World. I grew up in a family run shar-pei kennel. As an adult, in addition to my own pets, I worked as a kennel assistant, pet sitter, vet tech (ER and Internal medicine experience) and as a pet care specialist for Disney and PetSmart pet hotels. I have also worked with pet rescues my entire adult life. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, horses and livestock. I'm very comfortable dealing with anxious pets and those with significant medical needs. I am currently working in human medicine but animals were my first love and are still my passion, and my life is incomplete without them. I am looking forward to transitioning back to pet care exclusively by the end of the year. I currently have 2 rooms in my home, so my availability is set to 2 pets for boarding, because I can house 2 "family units." For multi-dog families please message for updated availability.

About: I’m a second-year veterinary student at the University of Florida with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have dog sat numerous times for friends, neighbors, and families, including extended stays lasting several weeks. Through veterinary school and personal experience, I’m comfortable monitoring pets closely, administering basic medications if needed, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from veterinary school, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week at all hours of the day to meet your pet’s needs. If you’re looking for a long-term sitter, I will also make sure to prioritize time for your pup during the school year (August–May). When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, and staying active or prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that best fits their personality and needs. As a veterinary student with experience pet sitting for extended periods of time, I’m very attentive to animals’ behavior, routines, and overall well-being. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household routines to ensure your pet is cared for exactly the way they are at home. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I also enjoy sending regular photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy while they’re away.

I am not doing this to make money (that is why my prices are lower than most) but to teach my daughter responsibility. She loves dogs and all the money is going to her as she is my little assistant.

I have a fenced in yard and a walking trail by my house. Also, lots of room and a kid to take care of and love your pup.

Cooper had so much fun in Anas and Tate’s big backyard! It was shaded and comfortable. He had fun with doggy friends and played so much. They sent us photos and videos. I will only book with them from now on. I trust them to take care of our puppy 💜

This was the 2nd time our pup, Romeo, has stayed with Nina. She has made him feel comfortable and right at home, evident in all the pictures and videos she provided during his stay. During this last visit, Nina went above and beyond by crafting Romeo a sweater to take home as well as having him participate in some arts and crafts projects as a gift to us. We appreciate Nina watching our pup while we’re out of town and will definitely be using her for any future needs and recommending her to our friends. Thank you Nina and Piccolo!

Amanda was awesome with my pups! When I reached out for an update on them I got pictures of them running in the yard. They were in high spirits when pickup time came- can’t thank Amanda enough for taking such good care of my babies🩷

We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover! Chris was simply amazing. We were a little nervous leaving our three pups for the first time, but after a meet-and-greet the day before drop-off, we felt completely at ease. Throughout their 5-day stay, Chris sent us regular updates and photos, and it was clear our dogs felt totally at home. When we went to pick them up, they didn’t want to leave—they kept following Chris back into the house! It was such a comforting feeling knowing they were so well cared for and happy. Thank you, Chris! We’ll absolutely be reaching out again next time we need a sitter.

Our Australian Shepherd loved his visit with Danielle and is already counting the days until he goes back again for a longer stay. Knowing this was his first overnight away from home, Danielle gave him special attention and kept us informed about how he was doing. We couldn't be more impressed and pleased.

About: I had my two fur kids for the last 14 years and they were my best friends! I am recently an empty nester from being a dog mama and I am missing the companionship. All of my friends say I am their go to Dog Walker and Dog Sitter 🐶🐶 when they travel so I figured I would meet more furry friends this way! I run my business and am fully remote so I can be available any day of the week and hours that are convenient for you. I would be happy to come take your pup for a walk during the day or if you need overnight visits, I can bring them to me.

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.

About: Connecting with animals at a young age, I am a natural at handling their needs as well as seeing when something is wrong. Having had an array of animals to care for for over 30 years, I have alot of experience and am well equipped to handle problems, should they arise. I have been lucky enough to care for many breeds of dogs and cats as well as countless other animals. Our 10 acre farm is completely fenced in with ample space to run and is home to 2 dogs and other farm animals. Here at Emerald Oak Ranch, our family strives to take the very best care of every animal we come into contact with. Book your animal today for a fun, peaceful farm-cation! Animal care comes first here at Emerald Oak Ranch! Whether it’s waking up early to feed or even checks during the night, we make sure all animals here are well taken care of and cared for. Our property is fully fenced, and two dogs are onsite as well as farm animals. Depending on your pets needs, they will have some friendly buddies or we can keep them separate. If you just need a quick house call or walk for your pets, I will carefully follow your instructions to make your animals as comfortable as possible! It is my priority to make sure your pets are safe and taken care of at all times.

Caitlynn is absolutely amazing! She was very responsive, kept me updated on Sage throughout my trip and sent pictures. didn’t have to worry if she was okay. This is my second booking on Rover. The first time was a nightmare, but I’m glad I gave it another shot. I will definitely be open to booking with Caitlynn again for sure.
