“Nina is everything you could ask for to watch your pets. She took care of our older dog and cat for about 3 weeks. This included providing medicine and ensuring our dog didn’t play too hard due to her condition. Also, our cat celebrated 15 years while we were away and Nina made his day special. We received consistent photos, videos, and communication throughout our trip. We even received some great surprise gifts when we came to pick them up! Highly recommend Nina and we would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“We are very pleased with the care Axel received at Shalom's. Not only did she send us regular reports about how he was doing, she even included pictures! We can't thank her enough.”
“Very friendly and I know that my dog and cat had a lot of fun when they were with her. Evidence is my dog slept 8hrs when he got back home with us🤣. Very accomodating and I highly recommend her. Beautiful place, dogs and cat can play together, big enough space for them to run and explore. I would definitely pick her to take care of my pets again.🤩🫡”
“I can’t express how much gratitude and appreciation I feel for both Alex & Jo. They have truly given Max a second home. They are very caring and extremely flexible. They are truly nice people. I am extremely thankful that they are Max‘s sitters.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Sneakers, Reva! I really appreciate the pictures and updates, and your patience with my anxious boy! It was a great first experience for us both 😊”
“Crystal made our entire experience easy and enjoyable. This was our first time ever leaving our “big girls” with someone other than family. From before drop off to everything in between drop off and pick up, Crystal had great communication and it showed she really cared for our girls. We received morning and evening check in texts to let us know how the girls were doing. She even included some pictures to show us how they were doing. I cannot say enough good things about Crystal and her care for our girls. We will definitely use her services again!!”
“Vanessa was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the puppy’s stay. I’ve been hesitant in the past to leave my pup with anyone, but would without a doubt rebook with Vanessa in the future.”
“Katrina and her girls were awesome! This was our first time leaving for a vacation since we adopted our dog so of course we were a little nervous. Katrina and her family immediately put us at ease. Our pound pup was nervous upon arrival but Katrina met us at the door with treats and knew just what to do to chill our dog out. She has a beautiful property with lots of room for our dog to run and sniff. While we were gone Katrina kept us updated with how our pup was doing and sent us plenty of pictures. If I could give more stars I would! We plan on trusting our Izzy with Katrina and her family from here on out.”
“They are fantastic! She went over and beyond in taking care of my pups and comfortable! My dogs wouldn't eat she hand fed them lol. Super great people and I was completely comfortable leaving them.”
“Kim is amazing!!! My pup had such a good time that I am afraid she wanted to stay!! Kim was responsible and did a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone would get along. She sent videos and pictures daily and she is very responsive when messaging. Kim’s love and concern for all animals shines through!! It was so relieving to know that I could trust Kim with my girl. I never had any concerns! I will rebook for sure!!”
About: Having a pet in our home for the last 20 years, I welcome yours to visit! We have a 14 year old son who loves to play with all dogs. I do work 8:00 AM -5:00 PM Monday-Friday. Weekends I am home most of the day. Our 4 legged family members are ready for playtime when I get home so thats what they get! We have a large privacy fenced back yard to keep your fur baby safe. I can kennel when I leave for work. We have a rose bushes in the yard but no other plants to worry about!
“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“From the moment I met her, I had full confidence in Brenda because she told me that she wants to be a veterinarian!!! When I reunited with Kaussie, it was evident that Kaussie had already fallen in love with Brenda and her family due to the exceptional care he received. Also, Scooby played so well with Kaussie that I was overjoyed to see Kaussie make a new friend. Most of all, Brenda's backyard is incredibly spacious and securely fenced, so Kaussie might have been reluctant to come back to his home, lol. Choosing Brenda might have been a coincidence, but I truly believe it was the luckiest decision I made!”
“She was extremely calm and loving with our three puppers. It was their first time going to another home overnight. She provided updates regularly and our dogs were happy and healthy upon our return. We'll definitely be using her again.”
“Joseph took great care of our dog, Poppy. His entire family showed Poppy love & kindness the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend this sitter as your next go to!”
About: My mother use to work in a kennel, she taught me everything I know about animals. I've taken care of lots of dogs and cats. I use to take care of my neighbors dogs for years until I moved, we had our family dog for a very long time sadly he passed away a year ago to old age. I'm a new mother of currently a 1 year old and having trouble finding work. I figure walking dogs and/or cats can still give me lots of time to spend with my daughter and make some money. I'm available almost always. I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Some of our neighbors have dogs that are friendly. Plenty of grass area and we do lots of walking around the block.
“Ana was great! Our dog (Pete) loved staying here. We received pictures or videos of him daily and Ana's response to questions was prompt and thorough. Pete had a great time playing with all the other dogs and humans and was happy and tired when he got home. Ana brought out fun activities for the dogs from time to time too, like playing with bubbles! We will definitely return - thanks Ana for treating Pete like your own dog.”

“Chandrika always takes the best care of our cats. They have a lot of needs, and she goes above and beyond to meet those needs. The cats can tell that she is a kind soul, and they love to spend time with her. We always have peace of mind leaving our pets and home in Chandrika’s care!”
About: Someone in my family always had a cat, and I always wanted to be friends because I could never have one. I learned the hard way very young that cat trust is hard earned. Once I was old enough, cats in need of homes fell into my lap and they have taught me more patience than I ever expected, especially when handling introducing new cats to established homes. From fighting flying fur bunnies, to combating the endless litter boxes, cats after surgeries and on meds, I’ve had a lot of experience helping cats feel their most comfortable.

About: As a proud dog dad and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their fur babies while they’re away, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including check-ins, walks, playtime, treats, feeding, and plenty of companionship to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I also have a fenced backyard with space for pets to run around, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship to make sure pets stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also make time for regular exercise, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention so every pet gets the care they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure while away from home. I make sure pets are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and I keep my home pet-friendly and free of hazards. I also follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special precautions. My goal is to create a calm and loving atmosphere where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine.

I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress free while you’re away.
About: Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. My whole life, my family has always had a house full of animals- from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Now, as an adult, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all with extremely unique and different personalities. I spent 6 years volunteering at my local humane society and have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. I am new to this area but if you give me a chance I promise to take the best care of your pets while building trust in this community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I have no problem waking up very early or stopping by very late and any time in between. My schedule is flexible at the moment. Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some dogs try to run out every chance they get or some dogs are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.
About: I have lived with animals my whole life; from chickens, cats, emus, dogs, etc. I can accommodate special needs and will always treat your animals as my own - with love and respect! I am tolerant of behavioral issues, shy animals, and animals with disorders or disabilities. I’ve been taught to take care and provide for animals my whole life. I’ve grown up with a wide variety of dog breeds, from Pit-Bulls, Beagles, Huskies, Shih Tzus, Rat Tarriers, Dachshunds, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I am available most of the time, and keep my calendar detailed so I can share with you what days I’m available months in advance! I spend most of my time in Alachua, Gainesville, & Branford but can accommodate longer distances with longer stays. Most weekends I am free, and I can easily do drop-in visits nearby! I care for each animal based on the owners needs and requests. I appreciate having a heads up on your pets typical behaviors and habits, and any “rules” you may like them to follow.

“Bianca was amazing. She gave updates for poop and water breaks. She even listened to me vent for a little. My dog was very pleased to hang out with her dog. Her dog Kasha was so sweet. A little hyper but mellowed out while I was still there so just give her a little time if you see her being hyper. Going to use Bianca’s doggy daycare service again soon!”

“Dana is a lovely human being who “gets” dogs and has made her home into a place of comfort and flexibility in response to a dog’s needs. We looked a long time for a caretaker and place that our little Velcro pandemic pup responded to positively and are so happy to have found Dana.”
“Alejandra took excellent care of our dog while we paddled at Ichetucknee springs. Our girl is shy of other dogs, and Alejandra made sure she had her own comfortable space. Highly recommend.”
“Crystal was very sweet with Aiden and great with keeping us updated. Beautiful home with lots of room to run around! It was great knowing our pup was with someone we could trust as we spent the day on the river!”
“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.”
“Shadow is so happy to stay at Ana's place. He comes home tired from playing and he is content. We're impressed with the improvements they have made to the property. 😊”
“I highly recommend Kimberly for all your pet sitting needs! She made me feel at ease leaving my baby for the first time ever. She sent me lots of pictures and videos while my puppy Luna was in her care :)”
About: I specialize in caring for tiny dogs weighing 15 pounds and under. As a tiny-dog owner, I understand that little dogs have different needs. I pay close attention to secure harnesses, hot pavement, larger neighborhood dogs, escape risks, senior mobility, and each dog’s individual comfort level. I offer private walks and drop-in visits tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. I do not walk large groups of unfamiliar dogs together. Your dog gets calm, personal attention. For drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and routine care based on your instructions. I welcome meet-and-greets so I can learn your dog’s personality, habits, fears, favorite things, and normal routine before care begins. I serve tiny-dog families in Sanderson, Glen St. Mary, Macclenny, and nearby areas of Baker County. Pick up and drop off available for a nominal fee. Little dogs. Personal care. Peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, unhurried care for your tiny dog. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and scheduled pet care throughout the week. Because I keep my client list intentionally small, I can give each dog plenty of individual attention and follow the routine that makes them feel most comfortable. Safety is especially important with tiny dogs. I pay close attention to secure harnesses, gates, doors, hot pavement, larger dogs, and other risks that can be more serious for a small dog. I follow your feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions carefully and never force interaction with unfamiliar dogs. My goal is calm, secure, individualized care that helps both you and your dog feel comfortable.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and love them all from the big lap dogs and small hand babies and a few in between. I have had all different breeds of babies with all different sad stories who are now just trying to live their best lives. I have raised puppies and cared for babies until their end of life and all the stages in between. I have raised abused babies, starved babies, drop offs, puppy mill babies and now some spoiled rotten babies. I am able to accommodate many different needs since I am a stay at home mom and I would love to help you give your babies their best life. Please feel free reach out and ask any questions. I am a stay at home mom so pet care, kid care, husband care is my routine. Most of my dogs eat 2x per day but 1 is on a special diet and has to eat 3. All of my dogs have different diet demands so I feed them all individually so adding another pup to the routine will be very simple so I can meet whatever meal time needs you have. I have a doggy door and fenced yard for potty trained pups and I still take 1 of my babies out through out the day and can help your pup with potty training if needed. My schedule revolves around whatever needs to be done. Since I am a stay at home mom most requests can be accommodated by just asking. I want your baby to feel as loved as mine. I have a LARGE fenced in yard and kids and pups for plenty of entertainment and snuggles. My big dogs are crate trained and crated at night or they would stay up ALL night playing. My little dogs sleep with me. My dogs are family so movie night and activities include everyone. I also carry pet care insurance to cover you and me.
“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.”

About: Pet Care Experience I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention, I provide reliable, safe, and loving care. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, just like they would at home. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion and consistency. I’m attentive to special needs—whether that’s administering medications, helping senior pets move comfortably, or giving puppies the training and structure they need. My focus is on building trust, creating a stress-free environment, and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care on a part-time basis, mainly during weekends and weekday evenings. This schedule allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or weekend companionship, I make sure pets feel cared for, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. In my home or yours, I ensure spaces are secure, comfortable, and pet-friendly. I supervise playtime, provide fresh water and proper nutrition, and follow any special instructions for each pet’s needs. My goal is to create a loving, stress-free environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.
“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.”

They will be smothered with cuddles and treats if I’m able to. Clients Home: I will make sure to adhere to the routine you have already established at home, whether that’s long walks or playing in the backyard. Stick to the feeding schedule and ensure they are stress free while you’re away.

I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡
About: I have 3 dogs small and large. All super well taken care of and walk atleast a mile everyday. I also groom my own pets every month. I make sure that all my pups and me get our daily exercise together by taking walks or runs. I always plan my schedules for the week around my dogs and the time I need with them. I give them so much love and get all the exercise and energy they need in the day out. They are my number 1 priority
About: Hey! My name is Dylan, and throughout all my years of life I have always been around dogs. My parents always had one, and as an adult I have owned and trained multiple. Being around them has given me lots of experience on care, play, and training, and I love hanging out with them! I'm currently self employed and am available all days of the week! My schedule is very flexible and can meet your pup's needs I can easily crate your pup when needed, I can administer medications if your dog or cat is currently taking them, and I am more than happy to follow any special instructions you may have!
About: I have cared for a pet for virtually every year of my life that I can remember. From puppies and kittens to the most elder of the two, I cherish all stages of their development and love the joy that each unique individual personality of each pet brings to our world. I'm currently working part time, and on the days that I do work, I work remotely, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to the care of your pet. I have a beautiful large yard at the end of a cul-de-sac that is full of trees. We live in a very nice neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs also. We have two indoor cats that get along beautifully and are adaptable to other animals. We have a very clean home and are non-smokers.
About: As a proud dog dad and lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their fur babies while they’re away, and I treat every pet like one of my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, including check-ins, walks, playtime, treats, feeding, and plenty of companionship to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I also have a fenced backyard with space for pets to run around, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship to make sure pets stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also make time for regular exercise, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention so every pet gets the care they deserve. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and secure while away from home. I make sure pets are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and I keep my home pet-friendly and free of hazards. I also follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special precautions. My goal is to create a calm and loving atmosphere where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.

About: I have babysat the fur babies for all of my family. My kids have had all the pets you could imagine growing up, and I also had cats and dogs my whole life as well. I have always been the grandma to all my babies fur babies. They get all the love and attention from me and I would love the opportunity to spread my love for animals helping your family! I am a uber and lyft driver. I am retired and work my own hours. I love animals. I want to help you feel your babies are in good hands. Thank you for thinking of me I prefer go to your house. I have small home, also my baby is getting older he stresses. I want the babies to feel safe and feel the attention and love they are used to.
About: I care very much for the well being of animals and want to make sure that the pets waiting for their owners feel safe with me. After work is usually when I will be able to, my work schedule is pretty random so I would work with the pet owners depending on how long they need me for. My backyard is nice and big enough to run around, but not secure enough for me to leave the pet alone back there. My front yard is nice too but needs the front gate fixed.
About: Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. My whole life, my family has always had a house full of animals- from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Now, as an adult, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all with extremely unique and different personalities. I spent 6 years volunteering at my local humane society and have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. I am new to this area but if you give me a chance I promise to take the best care of your pets while building trust in this community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I have no problem waking up very early or stopping by very late and any time in between. My schedule is flexible at the moment. Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some dogs try to run out every chance they get or some dogs are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and parrots, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals of all kinds. 🐾 I worked at Pet Supermarket from the time I was 16 until I was 22, and I also spent a year and a half in vet tech school. Caring for animals has always been something I truly love, and I’m happiest when I’m around them! I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family, and I treat every pet I care for just like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you plenty of peace of mind along the way! ❤️ I currently work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, bathe and play to make sure your pets needs are fully taken care of while also having fun! I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re playing, going for a walk, or relaxing at home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being spoiled while you’re gone! 🐾❤️
About: What makes me different from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care for each pet. I don't just see it as a job; I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. My afternoons and evenings are quite flexible and perfect for pet care! After school gets out around 2 PM, I'm free to dedicate my time to your furry friends. My weekends are completely open, so I can offer full-day care, overnight stays, or even just longer visits to give your pet extra attention. I'm happy to tailor my schedule to meet your specific needs and your pet's routine! I'm also available for check-in visits before 2 PM, if needed, but my availability is limited due to school. General care: I always follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I make sure your home is secure when leaving, and I'm always vigilant about potential hazards to keep your pet safe. Dog walking: I keep dogs on a leash at all times (unless otherwise instructed in a secure area), avoid busy roads, and am always aware of the dog's behavior and surroundings. Overnight stays: I maintain your pet's routine as closely as possible, provide companionship, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep you updated with photos and messages. All services: I treat your home with respect, clean up after your pet, and leave everything as I found it. I'm also always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

“Nina is everything you could ask for to watch your pets. She took care of our older dog and cat for about 3 weeks. This included providing medicine and ensuring our dog didn’t play too hard due to her condition. Also, our cat celebrated 15 years while we were away and Nina made his day special. We received consistent photos, videos, and communication throughout our trip. We even received some great surprise gifts when we came to pick them up! Highly recommend Nina and we would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Very friendly and I know that my dog and cat had a lot of fun when they were with her. Evidence is my dog slept 8hrs when he got back home with us🤣. Very accomodating and I highly recommend her. Beautiful place, dogs and cat can play together, big enough space for them to run and explore. I would definitely pick her to take care of my pets again.🤩🫡”

“Crystal made our entire experience easy and enjoyable. This was our first time ever leaving our “big girls” with someone other than family. From before drop off to everything in between drop off and pick up, Crystal had great communication and it showed she really cared for our girls. We received morning and evening check in texts to let us know how the girls were doing. She even included some pictures to show us how they were doing. I cannot say enough good things about Crystal and her care for our girls. We will definitely use her services again!!”
“Vanessa was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the puppy’s stay. I’ve been hesitant in the past to leave my pup with anyone, but would without a doubt rebook with Vanessa in the future.”
“Katrina and her girls were awesome! This was our first time leaving for a vacation since we adopted our dog so of course we were a little nervous. Katrina and her family immediately put us at ease. Our pound pup was nervous upon arrival but Katrina met us at the door with treats and knew just what to do to chill our dog out. She has a beautiful property with lots of room for our dog to run and sniff. While we were gone Katrina kept us updated with how our pup was doing and sent us plenty of pictures. If I could give more stars I would! We plan on trusting our Izzy with Katrina and her family from here on out.”
“They are fantastic! She went over and beyond in taking care of my pups and comfortable! My dogs wouldn't eat she hand fed them lol. Super great people and I was completely comfortable leaving them.”
“Kim is amazing!!! My pup had such a good time that I am afraid she wanted to stay!! Kim was responsible and did a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone would get along. She sent videos and pictures daily and she is very responsive when messaging. Kim’s love and concern for all animals shines through!! It was so relieving to know that I could trust Kim with my girl. I never had any concerns! I will rebook for sure!!”

“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”

“Joseph took great care of our dog, Poppy. His entire family showed Poppy love & kindness the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend this sitter as your next go to!”
About: My mother use to work in a kennel, she taught me everything I know about animals. I've taken care of lots of dogs and cats. I use to take care of my neighbors dogs for years until I moved, we had our family dog for a very long time sadly he passed away a year ago to old age. I'm a new mother of currently a 1 year old and having trouble finding work. I figure walking dogs and/or cats can still give me lots of time to spend with my daughter and make some money. I'm available almost always. I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Some of our neighbors have dogs that are friendly. Plenty of grass area and we do lots of walking around the block.
“Ana was great! Our dog (Pete) loved staying here. We received pictures or videos of him daily and Ana's response to questions was prompt and thorough. Pete had a great time playing with all the other dogs and humans and was happy and tired when he got home. Ana brought out fun activities for the dogs from time to time too, like playing with bubbles! We will definitely return - thanks Ana for treating Pete like your own dog.”
“Autumn was great. She communicated clearly throughout the whole booking process and gave me updates of my dogs' behavior throughout his stay. Will definitely be using her again!”
“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 😊”
