We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!

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!

Stephany and Jean were so great. Loving,compassionate,and caring. Both there children were so well behaved and loving with Panda-Quinn. She loved their big house and large fenced yard. She lives in an apartment. I had to go to a sleep study and Dr's appointments next day. They worked with my drop off and pick up hours. I will book with them again if needed. Please believe me I'm picky about my dog sitters. She loved her mini vacation. ❤️

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!

Teri is not only reliable, she go the extra mile to ensure your pet is safe, happy, content, rightly cared for. I promptly received a photo every morning, an update on his demeanor, an apology when a hairball was discovered on a white carpet, plus a sincere attempt in it's removal. My lil' boy was even gifted a new toy! How thoughtful and generous. I strongly recommend Teri for all you kitty owners, she's a godsend.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from rabbits to horses. Having grown up around dogs, I’ve cared for breeds of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs: a Dalmatian and a Great Dane. In addition to dogs, I have experience owning and caring for cats. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing basic first aid when needed, so you can feel confident that your pet will receive attentive, knowledgeable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I’ll make your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being my top priority—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special requirements to ensure consistency with their daily routine. During each visit, I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship while also respecting your home and your pet’s established routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and detailed visit summaries, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have two orange cats of my own and have been caring for them for the past two years, so I understand how unique and independent cats can be. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and making sure they get playtime and affection at their own pace. I also have 2 extra bedrooms incase of needing private space to warm up to eachother. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their cats as well, and I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and tuned in to each cat’s personality. My 2 are certainly so distinct 😅 Your cat will always feel safe, cared for, and loved with me!

Nicole stepped in to assist with our dog during a family emergency where I had to travel out of state at the last minute. Without hesitation she took care of our very particular Lacey - walks to the pond close by, and tackled the process of feeding Lacey - which is not easy - but handled it like champion! We are forever grateful for Nicole’s help and we will reach out to her in the future as our dog walking needs arise. AND she was kind enough to bring us ice cream treats 🍦

From administering medications to just keeping your animal company, I can be your go to person!

About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.

We truly could not have asked for a better experience! The care and attention our little Dolly received was absolutely incredible, and it was clear from the start that she was in the best hands. The updates and the amazing photos meant the world to us. We loved seeing how happy, relaxed, and well loved our Dolly was. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was being treated like family. We are beyond grateful and would recommend Lauren to anyone.

About: Calm, attentive care tailored to your pet. ☀️ 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. 🗓️ Scheduling and booking process To make sure every booking is safe, smooth, and a good fit, I require a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet for all new clients. This takes place at the location where care will be provided and gives us a chance to review your pet’s routine, home setup, safety needs, and comfort level. **Meet and greet exceptions:** * Cats do not require a meet and greet unless there are medications, behavioral concerns, or a complicated home setup * Puppies under five months may be booked without a meet and greet when appropriate * Returning clients may fast-track future bookings Please schedule your meet and greet at least 72 hours before your first requested service so we have enough time to coordinate properly. After the 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 visit so I can become familiar with the new layout, entry instructions, and pet-care setup. 🚶‍♀️ Dog walks and drop-ins I organize dog walks and cat drop-ins into efficient daily routes using flexible arrival windows. This helps reduce unnecessary travel time while still allowing me to provide thoughtful, attentive care during every visit. Dog-care windows: * Standard visits generally take place between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Morning visits may begin as early as 8:00 AM * Evening visits may be available for dogs who need additional flexibility **Cat-care windows:** * My preferred cat visit window is between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Visits requiring medication or strict timing will be scheduled around those needs whenever possible Dogs are generally prioritized earlier because of restroom needs, but every pet receives the same level of care, attention, and communication. 🐾 Premium boarding Boarding is a high-touch, in-home service for clients who want a fully hands-off experience while their dog is away. At this time, boarding is available only to dogs who already have an established walking, drop-in, or daycare relationship with me. This helps ensure your dog is already comfortable with me, my home, my routine, and my resident pets before an overnight stay. While boarding with me, your dog will: * Live inside my home as part of the household * Be my only boarding guest and receive individualized attention * Receive daily enrichment, engagement, and structured downtime * Enjoy supervised access to my private Sniffspot for play, sniffing, and decompression * Follow a routine tailored to their age, energy level, temperament, and physical needs Enrichment may include: * Frozen meals or food puzzles using West Paw Toppls * Sniff-based games, treat hunts, and low-pressure training activities * Nature walks or hikes at San Felasco when weather permits * Visits to quiet recreational fields when no other animals are present * Indoor play and low-impact enrichment during extreme heat or storms Most dogs return home happy, fulfilled, and very ready for a nap. 🚨 Boarding behavior and safety expectations The safety and comfort of my resident pets are a top priority. Dogs boarding with me must be safe around cats and respectful toward my personal dog. Dogs showing aggression, predatory behavior, severe resource guarding, or repeated unsafe behavior toward resident animals may not be eligible for boarding. If a boarding stay must be ended for safety reasons, care may be converted to drop-in visits at your home for feeding, potty breaks, and companionship whenever possible. 🚗 Premium pick-up and drop-off For added convenience, I offer pet transportation as an optional add-on. I can personally pick up or return your dog along my existing daily route, allowing you to leave your dog comfortably at home without coordinating an in-person handoff. This service is priced accordingly to reflect the additional time, travel, and personalized care involved. ⛔ Important booking policies * One complimentary meet and greet is included for new clients * Additional meetings should be booked as a walk or drop-in to cover time and travel * Every pet receiving care must be listed on the Rover booking * Bookings should be confirmed within 48 hours of the meet and greet or the requested time may be released * House-sitting and drop-in bookings follow a seven-day cancellation policy * Availability is not guaranteed until a booking has been formally confirmed by you. through Rover. If you have questions, a complicated schedule, or a pet with unusual care needs, I am always happy to talk through the details before booking. Care philosophy and communication: In my home, pets and plants are family, and every animal in my care is treated with the same level of respect, attention, and consideration I give my own. I understand that every pet has an individual personality and different needs. Some thrive on companionship, while others prefer play, structure, quiet encouragement, or simply having a calm person nearby. My goal is to be a steady, reassuring presence your pet can rely on while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their own home or taking them on an enrichment field trip to The Zoomie Zone, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. During each visit, you’ll receive a detailed Rover Card with notes about meals, potty breaks, mood, activities, and anything noteworthy from our time together. If your pet gives me an especially great photo opportunity, I may also send along a favorite edited image. Unless something genuinely requires your attention, I will not interrupt your vacation, work trip, or conference. My goal is to be both your pet’s advocate and your peace of mind while you’re away. 🚨 Safety and stress policy Safety is always my top priority, both for your pet and for me. If a pet displays aggression, extreme fear, severe anxiety, or behavior that makes a visit unsafe, I will still make every reasonable effort to ensure their essential needs are met, including food, water, medication when safely possible, and potty access. However, I may modify or shorten the visit if continuing would increase stress or create a risk of injury. This is never done as punishment. It is a safety decision intended to prevent escalation and protect everyone involved. Any significant concerns will be clearly documented and communicated to you. 🛏️ Crate or confinement requirement for boarding For boarding stays, dogs must be comfortable resting safely in a crate, exercise pen, gated room, or behind another secure household barrier. This is a firm boarding requirement. At night, during meals when separation is needed, and anytime dogs cannot be directly supervised, boarding guests will be safely confined. This gives every animal appropriate space to rest and ensures all pets remain secure while I am sleeping, showering, completing household tasks, or briefly away from home. Crates and gated spaces are always used as calm, neutral resting areas, never as punishment. If your dog normally uses a crate, pen, gated room, or another confinement routine at home, please share the details with me so I can keep their stay as familiar and low-stress as possible. Dogs do not need to love being crated, but they must be able to tolerate safe confinement without panicking, attempting to escape, or injuring themselves. If your dog is not currently comfortable with any form of secure separation, boarding may not be the right fit at this time. In that case, drop-in care in their own home may be a safer and more comfortable alternative. This is non-negotiable.

When we go out of town, we always worry about the furry family member we leave behind. We have a 9 yo diabetic yellow lab Buddy and because of his special needs, had in the past, spend most of our trip worrying if he was getting the care he needed. Until we found rover and Rhea. She is very caring and compassionate with Buddy, giving him long walks, affection and attention to his special needs. Rheas' daily report cards and photos put our minds at ease that Buddy was well cared for in our absence. Because of Rheas' compassion for animals and dependability, we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for that special caregiver.

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!

The only thing I don’t currently offer is boarding at my house due to space! I have done many jobs where I stay in the clients home and take on any tasks that the animals needs as well as just checking in on the animals multiple times in a day.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience caring for pets in every stage of life and with a variety of unique needs. I’ve cared for newborn kittens, expecting mother cats, and senior cats with anxiety, so I understand the patience and individualized attention they require. I also have a special interest in large working breeds and enjoy providing the structure, enrichment, and care they thrive on. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for farm animals. I’m highly attentive, reliable, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Every pet is different, so I take the time to listen to your needs and provide flexible, personalized care to help both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the flexibility to create my own schedule. This allows me to dedicate the time and attention each pet deserves, whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, providing midday visits, or accommodating last-minute requests whenever possible. I enjoy making pet care a priority and ensuring every pet receives reliable, personalized care. I will care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

About: I’m the primary sitter for cats, dogs, and small pets, providing loving, reliable care. When I’m unavailable for the dates requested, my mom can step in to help if she is, so your pets are never without attention. I’ve cared for cats of all ages, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, fish, horses, and more. Comfortable with kittens, seniors, special diets, and daily medications — your pets are in good hands! Right now, after 2pm works the best for me. If your hours are flexible, then I can be there. I will try my best to stick to the schedule asked for, and I’ll always let you know before booking if any of the days are ones I’ll need to arrive early or late. I would be more than happy to send picture updates! This is something I know I’d want very much. And I’d treat them as if they were my own baby. Give them time to warm up to me. Sit nearby until they are used to me, and once they are, I'll provide all the pets and snuggles they want! I know playtime is very important in a daily routine, so I’d make sure to play with them using their favorite toys. I am looking forward to meeting any new kitty and dog friends! Just know that I believe in clear communication and will provide updates to ensure that you can be completely comfortable knowing that your pets are safe and happy while you are away.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter returning to Rover with a 5-star rating and a genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone reliable, patient, and trustworthy looking after your pets when you can’t be there. I’m a registered nurse, which means I’m naturally detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following care instructions closely. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing calm, loving care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. My healthcare background also gives me experience with careful medication administration and following specific care routines, including helping pets who may need extra attention or support. I work remotely during the week, so while I’m not available to leave during my work hours (10 AM–6:30 PM Monday–Friday), I offer availability for early morning visits, evening drop-ins, and flexible weekend care. I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-in visits, cat care, feeding, playtime, litter box care, medication administration, and keeping your pets company while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, daily check-in, medication support, or a reliable person to care for them while you’re traveling, I’d love the opportunity to provide the same patience, attention, and compassion I bring to everything I do. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work Monday through Friday from 10 to 6:30 PM. So I am available anytime before 9 AM or after 6:30 PM on those days. Weekends, I am off so I’m available at any time Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and attention I would want for my own.

We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!

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!

Mavi had the best time ever on Josephine's farm! She is clearly experienced when it comes to dogs and animals in general, as she took great care of our nervous Aussie. She sent regular updates and photos, which looked like she was having the time of her life. Will definitely board her with Josephine and her family again!

Miranda took wonderful care of our border collie, Oliver, during his overnight stay last week. She is caring, attentive and communicative, sending multiple updates and pictures. We are so excited she agreed to have Ollie for an extended stay while we are on vacation in June. It is incredibly reassuring to know he will be so well cared for while we are away!

Debra took exceptional care of our dog, Jasper, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. Throughout Jasper's stay, Debra kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Jasper looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and it was obvious he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. We truly appreciate the love and dedication Debra showed toward Jasper. We would not hesitate to trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Debra, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!

My dog is special needs and Ashley was great. Very reassuring and I could tell by speaking with she had experience with special needs and that was so comforting. When I picked Bam up and got him home he was calm and his ailment was not exacerbated which was the case in the past with other sitters. Very thankful we found her!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. I speak fluent Spanish! I’ve raised my dog Zoso since I was 14 when she was a puppy, she recently passed away at 17 years old so having other dogs around makes me so happy. I also have two cats who are young, orange, and friendly, and I own horses, so I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am an expert on giving medication too from having a senior dog for many years! What sets me apart is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and the peace of mind I give owners knowing their pets are safe, comfy and happy. I spend most of the time at home working remotely so they will get all my attention! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and boarding. I love spending time playing with animals, giving them attention, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like my own. I have a private yard linked to trails that I walk daily, and I’d love to bring your dog along for exercise and fresh air. Most importantly, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable with routine, and well cared for!

Great care taker! Had absolutely no problems and she loved taking care of Oso. We usually have issues because no one want to take the time to understand our dog. But she was very patient and understanding and Oso loved her. She sent us pictures and videos while we were away which our girls enjoyed because they missed him. Thank you so much for taking care of our dog and we are definitely recommending her to all of our friends and family.
