“Anas and Tate were amazing with our doodle puppy, Toni, during our trip to Gainesville for UF graduation. After a last-minute cancellation from our original sitter, we were stressed—but meeting Anas put us completely at ease. He was kind, professional, and kept us updated with photos and videos. Toni clearly had a great time! We’re so grateful and highly recommend them to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Again thank you for taking care of Arthur! Alexander & Josephine are such a wonderful sitter. I fell assured when Arthur is with them! Highly recommended !”
“Our dog Kiki had a great holiday stay with Amanda! We loved getting a picture or video of our pup while we were away. Our dog enjoyed playing with other dogs and enjoyed the time in the fenced yard. We will definitely have Amanda watch our dog again when we go on vacation!”
“Adam has friendly dogs that played with our Hayden.. We were updated with videos and pics several times a day. I think Hayden enjoyed himself as much as we did on our vacay”
“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!”
“Michelle is a wonderful sitter. She accommodated my last-minute request for a meet-and-greet, even without Molly. This was Molly’s first time being boarded with her, and she took excellent care of her. Molly came home safe, happy, and well cared for. Michelle made us feel very comfortable about leaving Molly in her care. She followed Molly’s schedule perfectly and treated our fur baby with so much love. Truly the best sitter in Gainesville—especially if you’re visiting your human babies at the university! :) Highly recommend her, and we’re so glad to have found her.”
“Wilhelmina was absolutely wonderful with Cleo - thank you for taking such good care of her and giving me updates throughout the trip! Would definitely book with you again in the future 😊”
“These two are simply awesome. They loved my dog and my dog loved them. They are very diligent, experienced with animals, and very friendly. The accommodations were wonderful highly recommend.”
“I am very picky about who takes care of my boy's and I have to say that I was so pleased with Dana. She treated them like they were hers and kept me in the loop with all the awesome pics. I highly recommend her as a top dog sitter you will not be disappointed. Dana thank you so much for your live of dogs we will be back soon..thanks again Mike, Liz Bruiser and Buster”

“Kaylee is amazing! Our dog Lilly was well taken cared of. Kaylee followed all of our instructions and we know Lilly had fun! Thank you, Kaylee! We will definitely book with her again and recommend her to family and friends!”
“Left my two bigger dogs, and felt a bit worried at first because not everyone can handle them, not only did he do great with them but went above and beyond by allowing them to roam the property, run free, feed them amazing and constantly send me daily updates, 2nd time using him and will definitely contact again when I’m out of town, highly recommended”
About: (¡Español es mi primer idioma, por si se te hace más cómodo/fácil hablarme en español!) • SATURDAYS ARE FOR FREE!! As a seventh-day adventist I observe the Sabbath, so I do not charge for Saturdays. However, I challenge you to use that money to help someone in need!🙏🏻 Drop off by Friday night: 100% off Drop off on Saturday 7am-11am: 50% off Drop off on Saturday 12pm-5pm: 25% off • There is an extra $5 charge for high energy dogs (meaning dogs that require constant/frequent attention, supervision and/or stimulation). Right now I'm preparing myself for a professional certification so I'd rather not be constantly interrupted and this is the condition I can provide to help you out. • 8 nights or more are $23/night (first adult dog) • 1 dog + 1 cat $30/night • $17/day (first dog) for 3 days or more of weekly daycare. Daycare is closed on Saturdays. • I encourage last-minute bookings! If your pet is socialized there shouldn't be any problem. In any case we'll talk about the details and I'll see if I can help you out💪🏻 • Important! Please, let me know of your pet's misbehaviors before booking. I'd really appreciate your honesty, especially if it's a last-minute booking. • Both my apartment and the surrounding neighborhood are very quiet and peaceful. There's a lot of green areas AND a small dog park where they can walk (or run) freely! • Your pet will be part of the family while they're here! They'll receive frequent attention and love if they need it or simple constant caring company if they just want that. • Cats are more than welcome! We love cats too—especially my mom. And don't worry about my dog; he has been surrounded by cats since birth, so he simply ignores them. I occasionally need sitters myself so I know how hard it is to find one that's not painfully expensive AND that you're comfortable with. That's why I want to provide the experience I'd love to receive myself: an affordable care for your pets IN COMBINATION with the most approachable and relaxed atmosphere for you as possible, ESPECIALLY if you're going away for weeks and if you have multiple pets! Let's face it. You're only looking for someone who'd simply be there and take care of them because there's no other option. You'd do it yourself if you could! So shouldn't you find sitters that make you (and your wallet!) feel at peace with leaving your loving companion behind? That's why I'm here to help! A pet parent for pet parents =) I am at home every day, all day long—except when I go out for groceries, which takes no more than two hours. Aside from that, I stay present and keep myself busy in the apartment. I cook, exercise, read, and am currently also studying for a professional certification. I don't have any visitors, nor do I go out for anything else. I moved in a few months ago. Here there's only my dog Mylo, my mother and me. • All of your pet's physical and emotional needs will be met—that is my absolute priority, including their absolute safety. • Regarding male and/or bigger dogs, since my dog is a bit picky at first with some of them, it may be necessary a 5-10 minute 'Parallel Walk' at the meet & greet. We'll just walk around the pond in front of the apartment 1 or 2 times. It’s the safest way to make sure both dogs are 100% comfortable before they share a home. Only then we'll know if I can accept your doggie. • Hey, we all want this to work out but if the dogs don't like it, well....that's why we do the meet and greet: to know if the choice fits everyone involved and choose accordingly🙏🏻 • I would NEVER intentionally harm an animal. I'd never lay even a finger on pets (to discipline them) that do not belong to me. • I never give human food to pets. Occasionally, I share certain fruits with my own dog (specifically those that are safe and non-toxic for them) or, occasionally, a boiled egg; aside from that, nothing else. BUT, your pet will strictly follow the diet you specify. • I clean the bowl and pour fresh filtered water daily. • I have set my account available to no more than 2 pets at a time; however, if you wish to ensure that your pet is the *only* one in my care (other than Mylo I mean) during their stay (for your own peace of mind), I can arrange it for a small additional fee. It is worth noting that, regardless of the number of pets present, I guarantee that I can manage their interactions appropriately, as I am always at home. • If the pet has socialization issues to the point I'm not able to serve other pet parents, that might incur in additional fees. • I operate with complete transparency, and my mission here is to serve you—to be your assistant and EXACTLY the help you're looking for right now. I'll provide as regular communication as you need and pictures of your blessing daily. My goal is your peace of mind and their comfort! • I encourage you to ask me whatever else you need to know!
“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.”
“Britney was amazing. Very communicative, kind and took care of maddie like she was her own. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog and will leave maddie there again!”
“I kept both my Shepherds with Autumn for 25 days and during that time I always felt that they were well cared for and loved. I can’t say enough good things about the care my fur babies received during their stay. Autumn kept me informed with daily photos and updates and took my dogs health concerns seriously and provided them with experienced care above and beyond what we expected. I would recommend Autumn to anyone looking for a loving home like environment and peace of mind for their pets!”

“Hannah was amazing! She took amazing care of our kitties, going above and beyond when one of our cats got herself stuck on top of a cabinet. She managed to get our skittish cat down and we are incredibly grateful.”
About: I have been caring for the cats in the blood donor ward at the small animal hospital for three years. In fact they are one of my major jobs. Part of the job is being able to understand body language and moods, so when you are away you can be sure that your four legged child is with someone who will strive to make the separation easier.
About: I have been an avid animal care taker since childhood. Growing up on a farm in Oklahoma, I've seen animals of every shape and size- horses, cats, dogs, you name it! Spending time with animals is my own personal sanctuary. 🌞 Currently available at any time unless otherwise specified. I work as a private duty caregiver and times are not fixed for my schedule. Shoot me a quick message! I have a fenced in backyard! If your animal requires a crate, I can accomodate that as well. I do not mind animals in the bed, as long as they are potty trained! If I am visiting another home to care for an animal, I happily will spend extra time before/after walks and feeding to spend quality time with your animal. I believe bonding with the animals makes for a more pleasant experience!
“Haley was wonderful! Very responsive and thorough and was so kind and willing to go out of her way to make an extra visit for an important piece of mail that got delivered unexpectedly. Thank you so much!”
“Brianna is doing an excellent job caring for our two babies while we’re away for work. She has cats of her own and I just love the way she treats our cats, as if they were her own. Good pictures and she always updates me on any new behaviors or concerns. I recommend her services!!”
About: I have been in and out of the animal industry for a few years now. I have worked in a doggy day care, a humane society, a vet’s office and a dog training facility. My animals are my babies and I will treat yours just the same.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 6 years and have experience with cats of all ages and personalities.

“My pup had a great time at Ana’s. She has a beautiful property and keeps everything up very well. On top of having an amazing set up, Ana is so easy to work with and was able to accommodate a last minute schedule change for me. She sent me pictures and videos of Doug and he was definitely having the best day. Thank you so much Ana!”
“Kimberly is amazing. She has gone above and beyond for us continually, and she always tries to accommodate us whenever she can. I have had issues with my schedule on a few occasions as of late, and she has been flexible and so helpful when I've had to make adjustments. We miss her when she is out of town! Our dogs, particularly, LOVE her. I wish I could give her more stars.”
About: 🐾 Personalized Pet Care in a Calm Country Setting 🐾 First-time clients receive $20 off their first booking with promo code AMANDF33991 Hi! I'm Amanda, and pet care isn't just something I do—it's been my life's work for over 20 years. My background includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, shelter and rescue work, pet sitting, and animal care at Walt Disney World's Best Friends Pet Care. I specialize in providing personalized care for senior pets, anxious pets, and those with medical needs who may not thrive in a traditional boarding environment. Your pet will stay in a quiet home setting with individualized attention, comfortable accommodations, and plenty of opportunities to relax, explore, and feel at home while you're away. 🐶 What I Offer • Boarding in a calm home environment • Drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other pets • Medication administration • Senior pet care • Experience with medical and special-needs pets • Rural property with plenty of space to sniff and explore • Flexible scheduling • Midday potty breaks and regular supervision throughout the day 🐾 A Good Fit For • Senior dogs • Anxious or shy pets • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Pets with medical needs • Families looking for individualized care rather than large group boarding I grew up in a family-run Shar-Pei kennel and have spent more than two decades working with animals. My experience includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, pet sitting, rescue work, shelter management, Disney's Best Friends Pet Care, and PetSmart Pet Hotel. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, livestock, and pets with significant medical or behavioral needs. To provide individualized care, I intentionally limit the number of boarding guests I accept at one time. However, multi-dog families are welcome; please message for updated availability.
“I initially wanted to hire her to walk Koda twice daily. I’m glad she suggested he go to her place for doggy day care. I can tell he is having a blast. The family is very friendly. They’ve just earned a regular customer.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters I’m retired from the USAF and am home 90+% of the day. I run a few errands sometimes and an hour at gym but my personalized, attentive approach to every pet’s unique needs. 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. Whether it’s extra playtime, special diets, or senior support, I tailor every visit to your pet’s comfort and routine. Your pet gets extra attention and care when you choose my services. 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.
“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.”
“Paola was amazing with my pup, Poppie! I felt comfortable with her as soon as I met her. Kept me updated throughout the day with notes and pics! She is a great sitter! We will def have her take care of Poppie when we visit area again.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“Brenda and her family provide exactly what I was hoping for. Instead of being home all day by herself, my dog is taken care of by kind dog lovers. She also gets to socialize with another small dog. I can tell my dog enjoys being there. She runs right up to Brenda to greet her when we arrive. And when I pick her up, she is not desperate to leave. Highly recommend.”
“I am very happy with Teddy's recent daycare stay with Chair! Chari is communicative, flexible, and accommodating. Teddy was really taken with her and her boyfriend and even attempted to follow them into the house when they went to retrieve his things as they were returning from a walk. I was a little worried about what Teddy's behavior might be due to him being puppy with a lot of energy. Chari reassured me several times that everything would be fine, and it certainly was. I plan to use Chari again for daycare for both, Teddy, and my dog Lou. I highly recommend Chari for pet care!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been a dog-mom for the past 14 years. Recently, our dog crossed over the rainbow bridge and we want to love on some dogs the way our dog was loved. We have cared for puppies and senior dogs alike for many years. We are active and enjoy exercising and playing outside with dogs or just relaxing at home, depending on your pet’s needs. Both online teachers, we are organized and routine-oriented, and offer flexibility with scheduling. We currently do not have children or other animals in our home. We will take care of your dog as if it were our own. We are experienced in administering medicine and supplements as-needed. We will only watch one family’s dog(s) at a time to ensure your baby(ies) gets the attention he or she deserves. We have relied on Rover for many years in the past with our own dog so we understand the desire to feel comfortable with whom you leave your animal while you’re away. We hope you’ll choose us for your dog-sitting needs! Working from home, we have flexible schedules for pick-up and drop-off. We are able to spend lots of quality time with your pup! We have a neighborhood for walking dogs and live just a few miles from a dog park. We will ensure your dog gets the exercise or relaxation he or she needs.

“Kathryn was so helpful in dropping in to walk my fur babies on sort of a short notice. Thank you so much for walking them so I could get some important things done on this day. Definitely looking forward to having you stop in again someday!”
“Another great week with Miss Courtney! I’ve even been told Lucy is getting little bursts of running and that’s so good for her. Courtney has listened to all my tips and tricks to use for when Lucy is having a senior or stubborn moment-she is so good with her. This week, Lucy has started barking when it’s almost courtney time. Courtney is a very good communicator, very responsible and we are just grateful we found her.”
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.
About: 🐾 Personalized Pet Care in a Calm Country Setting 🐾 First-time clients receive $20 off their first booking with promo code AMANDF33991 Hi! I'm Amanda, and pet care isn't just something I do—it's been my life's work for over 20 years. My background includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, shelter and rescue work, pet sitting, and animal care at Walt Disney World's Best Friends Pet Care. I specialize in providing personalized care for senior pets, anxious pets, and those with medical needs who may not thrive in a traditional boarding environment. Your pet will stay in a quiet home setting with individualized attention, comfortable accommodations, and plenty of opportunities to relax, explore, and feel at home while you're away. 🐶 What I Offer • Boarding in a calm home environment • Drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other pets • Medication administration • Senior pet care • Experience with medical and special-needs pets • Rural property with plenty of space to sniff and explore • Flexible scheduling • Midday potty breaks and regular supervision throughout the day 🐾 A Good Fit For • Senior dogs • Anxious or shy pets • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Pets with medical needs • Families looking for individualized care rather than large group boarding I grew up in a family-run Shar-Pei kennel and have spent more than two decades working with animals. My experience includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, pet sitting, rescue work, shelter management, Disney's Best Friends Pet Care, and PetSmart Pet Hotel. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, livestock, and pets with significant medical or behavioral needs. To provide individualized care, I intentionally limit the number of boarding guests I accept at one time. However, multi-dog families are welcome; please message for updated availability.
About: I have had a dog since I was a kid and taken care of friends' dogs too. I love animals and will make your dog my own. 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 currently work full-time, but will take your dog on long walks (if desired) and give your little boy/girl lots of love and attention. If needed, I can come home during the day to let your dog out. 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.
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: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 for family, friends and neighbors. I’ve house sat for family friends as well as dog sat for co-workers. I enjoy all animals and look forward to helping with your animals :) I work full time 8:30-5 Monday through Friday. I can feed and walk dogs before work as well as after work and full availability on weekends. I have a fenced yard and a black lab named Oscar to keep your animal company. I also have two sweet cats that stick to themselves for the most part. I have a dog crate and am able to crate Oscar if necessary.
About: I am very adventurous and love the outdoors- I will give your dog lots of play time and long walks at the park. I provide lots of water and rest, so even on hot days your dog will get some outside time to burn off some energy! If your dog is a couch potato, I will provide lots of love and snuggles for them while you are away! I pay close attention to each dog's cues and react accordingly based on what they need. Their safety, comfort, and security is my top priority. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my time to whatever works for you and your dog's needs best! I have two dogs and two babies, so safety is the most important thing to me. I understand that good boundaries are what keep pets the safest in the home and I will always implement your rules for consistency with your dog.
About: I have years of experience dog and house sitting for others as well as 1 dog of my own right now. In addition to dog sitting I will also farm/house sit and have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and horses. I am self employed and my flexible schedule means I can add some dog walking clients. We do not offer in home boarding anymore but can do drop in visits to check on your pet and give them extra attention and exercise. At this time we cannot accommodate other dogs or cats in our home. I can offer multiple drop in visits/day. Pet sitting in your home is available on a case by case basis.

“Anas and Tate were amazing with our doodle puppy, Toni, during our trip to Gainesville for UF graduation. After a last-minute cancellation from our original sitter, we were stressed—but meeting Anas put us completely at ease. He was kind, professional, and kept us updated with photos and videos. Toni clearly had a great time! We’re so grateful and highly recommend them to anyone needing a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Again thank you for taking care of Arthur! Alexander & Josephine are such a wonderful sitter. I fell assured when Arthur is with them! Highly recommended !”
“Our dog Kiki had a great holiday stay with Amanda! We loved getting a picture or video of our pup while we were away. Our dog enjoyed playing with other dogs and enjoyed the time in the fenced yard. We will definitely have Amanda watch our dog again when we go on vacation!”
“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!”
“Michelle is a wonderful sitter. She accommodated my last-minute request for a meet-and-greet, even without Molly. This was Molly’s first time being boarded with her, and she took excellent care of her. Molly came home safe, happy, and well cared for. Michelle made us feel very comfortable about leaving Molly in her care. She followed Molly’s schedule perfectly and treated our fur baby with so much love. Truly the best sitter in Gainesville—especially if you’re visiting your human babies at the university! :) Highly recommend her, and we’re so glad to have found her.”

“Left my two bigger dogs, and felt a bit worried at first because not everyone can handle them, not only did he do great with them but went above and beyond by allowing them to roam the property, run free, feed them amazing and constantly send me daily updates, 2nd time using him and will definitely contact again when I’m out of town, highly recommended”
“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.”

“Kim is great! Our girls had a blast! Kim shared tons of pictures and videos. It was our first time leaving the pups behind and had lots of hesitations. She put us at ease by treating them like her own.”
“Vanessa accepted my last minute request and was very responsive. I was unsure if my dog would get along with other dogs, but she made me feel at ease and reassured me that it would be fine. She sent me a couple of pics and a video of him playing. I would definitely bring my dog back again.”
“Milo loves staying at Ana’s and has so much fun with his friends! There’s so much room for him to run around outside. We have such a peace of mind knowing he is being well taken care of and we can see how happy he is in the pictures and videos that we receive from Ana. Highly recommend!”
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.
