“Great sitter! Super sweet, lovely and made my fur baby feel at home from the moment he walked in. Punctual, responsible and kept me updated with photos and videos. Overall, I am are very happy he was treated like family. Stefhany, gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely use her services again. My dog was clearly happy and well-cared for.”
“Lorraine was amazing! She has a great energy which put my pups at ease when first meeting, and sent videos and photos daily that put my mind at ease about my fur kids. I’ve already recommended her to someone else, and am planning to schedule with her again in the future!”
“Diana is prompt and professional. She responds quickly. She really cares for her furry guests. She sent pics and videos of Rusty running and playing. A pleasant experience. We will ask her again when Rusty needs his next vacation.”

“Kailyn was awesome with my dogs!! They’ve been “hungover” all day after spending the weekend at her house! One became obsessed with one of her toys and she let him keep it! She is clearly a loving dog person and my dogs can’t wait for their next vacation!”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“I was very pleased with Minnie's care. I loved the adorable updates and pictures. Wonderful dog sitters and Minnie got to run around and play in the big backyard. Would definitely recommend!”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“I had to leave town due to a emergency and Brenda took my dog and made her feel right at home during her stay. Not only did she update me consistently but she also took photos to show me how happy she was! She actually spent time with my dog, getting to know every little detail so she could learn her effectively. She gave my dog (ginger) the love and respect she needed. I would go back to Brenda 10/10 times, you won't find a more caring attentive person!”
“Adam provided our Rocky a safe and nurturing place to be! It was so nice to get a photo a day showing us how he was doing. Lots of walks and snuggles….Adam was great!”
“My puppy was so happy and calm when I picked her up after 10 days with Rubén and Brenda Lee. She played with their dog and family. She said goodbye to the children before going to the door with me. She was well cared for and got lots of attention and exercise.”

“Debbie was so good with my cat, Toshi. She was always on time, communicating during each visit with updating me with photos. She cared for him exactly as was needed. I would definitely recommend her for your own pet care needs.”
“Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. She went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats. Always daily pictures with a note. She noticed when our anxious cat started stress licking and was able to use our diffuser to help provide some calming smells for them. She even set our trash out on the last day which was not expected. Could not recommend her more!”

About: Wilbert and I have cared for animals our entire lives, from small pets like rodents and birds, dogs and cats to horses and livestock of all sizes. Our goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. We both hold bachelor’s degrees in Animal Science and have hands-on experience working in veterinary settings, which allows us to provide attentive and knowledgeable care. I provide dedicated, focused attention during each visit and treat every pet and home with respect and responsibility. I keep routines consistent and make sure pets feel secure and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow house guidelines and I’m very mindful about cleanliness and organization, I make it a priority to leave the home tidy and in excellent condition after each visit. Visits are typically extended and can be scheduled multiple times per day or customized based on your pet’s needs. During visits I handle feeding, enrichment, companionship, cleanup, and well-being checks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention and timely visits. I plan my calendar carefully so I’m not overbooked and can give each household focused, reliable care. I’m available for extended daytime and evening visits and can provide multiple visits per day based on your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress for pets. I remain only in authorized areas of the home and am very mindful about cleanliness and security, I make it a point to leave the home tidy and well maintained after each visit. With my Animal Science background and veterinary setting experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, appetite, hydration, and general health. I take precautions with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and medication directions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while away.
“Courtney was so sweet and accommodating for my cat, Birdie! We contacted her with only 2 days notice and she made it work seemingly effortlessly! She was sweet to Birdie and very detailed! So glad we were able to book with her!”
“Daniel was amazing with my baby Kali! He sent pictures during every check-in and stayed for the full 30-minute booking. He made sure to play with her and keep her company while I was gone so she wouldn't feel so lonely! He followed my feeding instructions for her and kept her litterbox clean. He even took out the trash so it wouldn't start smelling by the time I returned. My cat was missing him so much the day I came back! She kept looking for him and wailing & from this I can tell he took good care of her. I can trust him with my cat for any future needs! Great communication and was respectful as well.”
About: Hi I'm Gabby! Animals have been part of my life for a long as I can remember. I grew up a horse girl and while living in China finally got my own dog, Taco, who I ended up bringing back here to the states with me. Currently, my family is Taco and my two foster fail cats, Khinkali and Aeon. Before moving to Florida, I ran my own pet sitting business in Cincinnati and fell into the niche of working with animals who had behavioral issues- from cats who had severe fear of strangers to dogs who had to be specifically handled due to their aggression. Routine is so important to the well being of our pets and the ability to get out and live our lives is so important to the well being of ours. My goal is to make life easier for you and your pet and make finding a pet sitter the least stressful part of pet ownership. As a bonus I am also a professional photographer and love to send a few portraits along with my updates! I currently create my own schedule around pet sitting jobs so my availability is open and flexible! I am happy to work with you to make sure we come up with a schedule that is best for your pet. As I offer services in other people’s homes I want them to feel comfortable having me there! I am fine with any security measures such as cameras and like to discuss how often clients want updates for peace of mind.
About: Hey! My name is Bethany 😁 I love handing a helping hand when it comes to our best friends. Lived my whole life having pets. Currently i have 2 cats, 1 bunny, 1 betta, and 6 aquarium snails. I studied and graduated as a veterinarian assistant from a votech high school. While In school we worked on dogs twice a week. Taking care of them included grooming, baths, exercise, feeding, giving medications, and sometimes just cuddles. A few days outta the year we would have birds, lizards, bunnies, or even horses. If you decide to book me just know your fluffy baby is my number one priority. I’ll take care of them as if they were my own!! I work part time overnight from midnight til about 4:30/5am and then the remainder of the day I am home with my son and animals. I take care of pets as if they were my own children. I like routines and I love cuddles. Does your pet have special care that’s ok I adapt to what is needed!
“Chantel was excellent, would definitely use again. We were just in the area for Thanksgiving week and needed someone to come by our rental house to walk our dogs while we did some sightseeing. My standard poodles loved her.”
“Nadia was a life saver! I was so relieved being able to count on her to take care of my puppy giving Her the medications and taking her out, playing with her and keeping her company 🫶🏼 I will be eternally grateful. My puppy loved her♥️”

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

“Laquitta and James have been our "go to" Rover for several trips now. We like to refer to our fur baby as a velcro dog because she sticks so close to us. But it also means there aren't many Rovers she's happy about visiting. Laquitta and James are the exception. Though she's always happy to see us at the end of her stay, she loves hanging with Laquitta and James and their little fur babies.”
“Very professional care. Lorraine manages the dog introductions planfully and Marshall was really happy when we arrived. Looks like he’s had a great time! Her yard and home is set up nicely for the dogs! Communication was timely and professional.”
“Kim was great! So caring of my boy and very nice about any delays on my part. Gave lovely updates and pictures that helped ease my mind when leaving my pup with a dog sitter for the first time. Keeper will definitely go back!”

“I recently needed a last minute dog sitter for my two high energy pups while I was away for a day, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Brenda. From the very first meeting, she was warm, professional, and genuinely cared about my dogs’ well-being. She gave me a walk through of her home and showed me where the pups would be and how they have plenty of backyard space with shade to run around and play. She sent the most amazing pictures of my pups playing and swimming, which put my mind completely at ease. My dogs looked happy, well-exercised, which they need as a high energy breed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and truly attentive with your fur babies, I highly recommend Brenda.”
“Manny And Jessica are great as always! My dog loves going there and playing with their adorable dog Cash. We cant wait until next month, definitely a go to in Ocala!”
“Julia and Allen were fantastic with our boys. We love that they limit the number of dogs they care for to 4. They followed instructions to a tee and made it where we could have zero concerns about our pups. Would highly recommend them.”

About: I’ve been walking and watching pets since I was very young! I’m comfortable with any dog, whether it’s a 5 pound Chihuahua or a 160 pound Great Dane!

About: I am a huge animal lover, who enjoys spending time with dogs and cats of all kinds, I have a couple of cats at home, but I’ve always had a special love for dogs too. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some cuddle time, on the couch, I love making pets feel happy and cared for. I currently work from home and make my own schedule. I also have a very reliable car so I am very flexible with a schedule. I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home, keeping their routine, just the way they like it. From feeding, playtime, and walks to cuddles and companionship, I make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.
“Always on time. Kimberly treats my boy as her own and always lets me know how he is and makes sure to give him lots of love. She is great! I definitely trust her with my fur baby.”
About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.
“Courtney has built such a wonderful bond with my dog, Clifford—he absolutely lights up every time she visits. Her communication is exceptional; she keeps me consistently updated, sends photos, and always checks in, which gives me total peace of mind. She even goes the extra mile by notifying me when packages arrive and sending photos of where they’re placed. Courtney has an incredible personality, is genuinely kind and trustworthy, and takes care of Clifford as if he were her own. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and highly recommend her.”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.
About: Hi! I’m a veterinary professional with over 12 years of hands-on experience in animal care, and caring for pets is truly what I love most. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m comfortable handling everything from healthy, active pets to those who need a little extra support. I have experience caring for geriatric pets, special needs animals, and those requiring complex medication routines, including diabetics and other medical conditions. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I offer: • In-home boarding in a safe, structured environment • Drop-in visits in your home • Care tailored to your pet’s specific needs and routine For in-home boarding, I use a “crate and rotate” system when needed. This simply means pets take turns having free time to ensure everyone stays safe, stress-free, and comfortable—especially important when pets don’t already know each other and is very helpful for rescue pets , high anxiety and elderly animals as it offers a more relaxed and one on one environment where they can be as stress free as possible while in my care. During their time out, your pet will get plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, and enrichment, so they’re not missing out on love or activity. I do have children in the home who are taught to respect animals and understand boundaries. For everyone’s safety and comfort, they have little to no direct contact with boarding pets. My priority is maintaining a calm, controlled, and safe environment for every animal in my care. My goal is always to provide a safe, low-stress, and loving environment while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. If your pet has special needs or you just want someone with a trained eye looking after them, I’d love to help! I am employed full time but currently on maternity leave and looking to move to pet sitting full time if possible. If I am unable to currently accommodate a request I will be transparent as I believe every pet should have the care they are accustomed too and deserve ! In my home, I provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I use a crate and rotate system because my personal dogs are not always social with others. This ensures that every pet stays safe and comfortable while still receiving plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, enrichment, and proper rest. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any medications or special care they require. In your home, I offer drop-in visits designed to keep your pet comfortable in their own space. During each visit, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, affection, and medication administration if needed. I also keep an eye on your pet’s overall health and behavior, so you have peace of mind while you’re away. With my veterinary background, I’m experienced in caring for senior pets, special needs animals, and those requiring more complex medical care, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment.
About: I love Rover! I mean, what better job exists than to get paid to spend time with other people's animals? My name is Dan, and I have been around animals my whole life. Currently I am a cat dad of two girls, but I am also comfortable and familiar with dogs, rabbits, and other animals as well. I currently live in a large three bedroom. The property is out in the country, but only a few miles away from Gainesville, so it's far enough to be away from the sounds and stress of the city without really being in the middle of nowhere. It's not the fanciest place, in need of remodeling, but it is calm, comfortable, and pet friendly. There is no smoking inside. The property is not fenced, so I will be keeping everyone inside, except for supervised walks, etc. I am able to board cats, most dogs, and other animals as well. I work from home in addition to doing this, so when I do have a furry guest, I am home twenty four hours a day. I like to actually spend time with the animals I have visiting, so if you have a super playful dog- or one that just likes to hang out on the couch next to someone- I'd probably be a good match. If I am not boarding anyone at the moment, I can walk dogs, feed cats, etc, as well, as long as you are not too far away from where I live. Things I require: 1. I need to meet your animals first (especially for dogs). 2. If I don't feel comfortable , or I feel like an animal is not comfortable with me, I will not confirm the booking. Animals are just like people, we all have those we like and don't like, so don't take it personal if I decline a booking. 3. I do need emergency contact and vet information. I hope I never have to deal with any emergency, but it is better to be prepared and ready, than to be running around scrambling if something does happen. 4. Of course, I need as much food, etc, as is needed for the stay. Things I offer: 1. Lots of attention. Of course, some animals- especially some cats- aren't really keen on it, and that's okay! But if they are, I love to play with my guests! 2. I don't mix animals from different families. 3. I don't charge extra for extra cats, and I only charge a little bit extra for extra dogs. I have been doing this off and on for some time now, and while I don't have as many clients as I want to have, my reviews are good and solid for a reason. I have my own two cats who take up all my time when I'm not out taking care of other people's animals, or otherwise working. The only time I'm usually not available is if I have already made prior commitments. I treat animals like they are children, because to me, they are. My own two are my favorite people in this world, but I love animals in general. I especially enjoy cats, friendly dogs, and giant rabbits. 😃 I like to treat each cat, dog, rabbit, etc, as the unique personality they are. Some cats, for example, are a little more standoffish than others. The best thing to do with them is to not push them. Nobody cat or human likes someone standing in front of them demanding attention ! Some dogs, for example, are very laid back and really just want to lay next to you and snuggle. Others are always ready to play! I am knowledgeable about safety, and when I am doing a drop in visit, I always keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look right. When I am dog walking, I like to go places that are less traveled, I keep my attention fully on them, and on everything going on around us. When I am with your animals, they are my first and only priority.
About: Wilbert and I have cared for animals our entire lives, from small pets like rodents and birds, dogs and cats to horses and livestock of all sizes. Our goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. We both hold bachelor’s degrees in Animal Science and have hands-on experience working in veterinary settings, which allows us to provide attentive and knowledgeable care. I provide dedicated, focused attention during each visit and treat every pet and home with respect and responsibility. I keep routines consistent and make sure pets feel secure and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow house guidelines and I’m very mindful about cleanliness and organization, I make it a priority to leave the home tidy and in excellent condition after each visit. Visits are typically extended and can be scheduled multiple times per day or customized based on your pet’s needs. During visits I handle feeding, enrichment, companionship, cleanup, and well-being checks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention and timely visits. I plan my calendar carefully so I’m not overbooked and can give each household focused, reliable care. I’m available for extended daytime and evening visits and can provide multiple visits per day based on your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress for pets. I remain only in authorized areas of the home and am very mindful about cleanliness and security, I make it a point to leave the home tidy and well maintained after each visit. With my Animal Science background and veterinary setting experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, appetite, hydration, and general health. I take precautions with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and medication directions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while away.

About: Hi I'm Gabby! Animals have been part of my life for a long as I can remember. I grew up a horse girl and while living in China finally got my own dog, Taco, who I ended up bringing back here to the states with me. Currently, my family is Taco and my two foster fail cats, Khinkali and Aeon. Before moving to Florida, I ran my own pet sitting business in Cincinnati and fell into the niche of working with animals who had behavioral issues- from cats who had severe fear of strangers to dogs who had to be specifically handled due to their aggression. Routine is so important to the well being of our pets and the ability to get out and live our lives is so important to the well being of ours. My goal is to make life easier for you and your pet and make finding a pet sitter the least stressful part of pet ownership. As a bonus I am also a professional photographer and love to send a few portraits along with my updates! I currently create my own schedule around pet sitting jobs so my availability is open and flexible! I am happy to work with you to make sure we come up with a schedule that is best for your pet. As I offer services in other people’s homes I want them to feel comfortable having me there! I am fine with any security measures such as cameras and like to discuss how often clients want updates for peace of mind.
“Great with Zulu! Nadia has been absolutely wonderful walking our standard poodle, Zulu. She keeps a great pace and covers a solid distance on every walk—which is exactly what Zulu needs to stay healthy and happy. You can tell she truly enjoys being with dogs, and Zulu always comes back from their outings relaxed and content. Nadia is punctual, professional, and communicative. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and actually gets them moving!”

About: I have always loved pet sitting for my aunts friends and my family, It brings so much joy and the animals I care for always love being with me. I am currently a full time student, pet-sitting is a flexible job that I love doing, and it works best with my busy school schedule. I will always make sure the dogs are on leashes being aware of the surroundings for their and mine safety. Also being aware when in the house for the other animals, like cats, making sure everything is okay and watching if I go out the house.
About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.
About: Although I’m new to having a pup in my life, I have always loved them and love all animals. I even helped my parents run a small hobby farm with sheep and goats! When I’m not working I spend all my time with my 7 year old black lab mix, my best friend! I love cuddles and walks with her. I live in an RV so I can’t board pets with me but can work in your home with your pet for any of your needs.
About: I have parented dogs, cats, puppies and kittens for over 30 years. I love all animals and would care for almost any type. Same day availability. I’m retired and available any time. I work part time remotely as an accountant. I have a fenced yard, a garage, and an extra bedroom. I will spoil your fur babies as if they were my own. I speak all species of cat and dog, but I’m not fluent in bird. 🤭😉

“Andi and her lovely family were very loving and kind to Gabe. He appeared to be more than happy during his stay. Andi was kind enough to send photos and I hope I can call on Andi again should the need arise . Thank you Andi.”
“Lorraine was amazing! She has a great energy which put my pups at ease when first meeting, and sent videos and photos daily that put my mind at ease about my fur kids. I’ve already recommended her to someone else, and am planning to schedule with her again in the future!”
“Kailyn was awesome with my dogs!! They’ve been “hungover” all day after spending the weekend at her house! One became obsessed with one of her toys and she let him keep it! She is clearly a loving dog person and my dogs can’t wait for their next vacation!”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“I was very pleased with Minnie's care. I loved the adorable updates and pictures. Wonderful dog sitters and Minnie got to run around and play in the big backyard. Would definitely recommend!”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“I had to leave town due to a emergency and Brenda took my dog and made her feel right at home during her stay. Not only did she update me consistently but she also took photos to show me how happy she was! She actually spent time with my dog, getting to know every little detail so she could learn her effectively. She gave my dog (ginger) the love and respect she needed. I would go back to Brenda 10/10 times, you won't find a more caring attentive person!”
“My puppy was so happy and calm when I picked her up after 10 days with Rubén and Brenda Lee. She played with their dog and family. She said goodbye to the children before going to the door with me. She was well cared for and got lots of attention and exercise.”
“Taylor was super sweet and kind to my two fubabies and I got regular updates. My babies respond fed better than I thought they would because she was u familiar to them. Very pleased and will look her up to watch them again when I need boarding and care for my animals ☺️”
“Very caring sitter. Thor evidently had a good time playing with the other dogs because he slept most of the evening and through the night worn out from playing hard. I would use Lauren again.”

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary professional with over 12 years of hands-on experience in animal care, and caring for pets is truly what I love most. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m comfortable handling everything from healthy, active pets to those who need a little extra support. I have experience caring for geriatric pets, special needs animals, and those requiring complex medication routines, including diabetics and other medical conditions. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I offer: • In-home boarding in a safe, structured environment • Drop-in visits in your home • Care tailored to your pet’s specific needs and routine For in-home boarding, I use a “crate and rotate” system when needed. This simply means pets take turns having free time to ensure everyone stays safe, stress-free, and comfortable—especially important when pets don’t already know each other and is very helpful for rescue pets , high anxiety and elderly animals as it offers a more relaxed and one on one environment where they can be as stress free as possible while in my care. During their time out, your pet will get plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, and enrichment, so they’re not missing out on love or activity. I do have children in the home who are taught to respect animals and understand boundaries. For everyone’s safety and comfort, they have little to no direct contact with boarding pets. My priority is maintaining a calm, controlled, and safe environment for every animal in my care. My goal is always to provide a safe, low-stress, and loving environment while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. If your pet has special needs or you just want someone with a trained eye looking after them, I’d love to help! I am employed full time but currently on maternity leave and looking to move to pet sitting full time if possible. If I am unable to currently accommodate a request I will be transparent as I believe every pet should have the care they are accustomed too and deserve ! In my home, I provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I use a crate and rotate system because my personal dogs are not always social with others. This ensures that every pet stays safe and comfortable while still receiving plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, enrichment, and proper rest. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any medications or special care they require. In your home, I offer drop-in visits designed to keep your pet comfortable in their own space. During each visit, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, affection, and medication administration if needed. I also keep an eye on your pet’s overall health and behavior, so you have peace of mind while you’re away. With my veterinary background, I’m experienced in caring for senior pets, special needs animals, and those requiring more complex medical care, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment.
“Ashley was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and I had no worries while I was gone. She sent me photos and kept me updated on her which I greatly appreciated. She was very attentive to her needs and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Absolutely wonderful people! I had just adopted my dog a few days prior and needed to find him a last minute sitter and they were perfect for him! Very thorough and quick communicators. They sent pictures if I asked for them and even allowed him some pool time which I’m so grateful for, especially in this summer heat. I even think they helped with his crate training again because he’s not as afraid of it since we’ve gotten home. Overall, Merlin clearly enjoyed his time with them and I’m so grateful. Thank you so so much! I would 100% book again and highly suggest others do as well.”
“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.”
