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!
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Sometimes up to 5 dogs at a time and horses too! So I have lots of experience with animals of various sizes.

“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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.
“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’ve always had pets growing up. Sometimes up to 5 dogs at a time and horses too! So I have lots of experience with animals of various sizes. From chihuahuas and cocker spaniels to German Shepherds and poodles. I currently own a very friendly sterilized full sized golden doodle. He loves all dogs, humans and human puppies and he is down to play non-stop or nap all afternoon. Either one is fine with him. My dog is up to date on vaccines and flea + tick medication. I live in a house on .25 acres with 6ft fenced back yard. Large couch with pup-covers. Kiddie pool available for those who like to swim. Whether your pup is staying with me, or we are going on a walk, they are sure to have fun and I will spoil them just as I would my own! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m home most of the day. Lots of time for pets and walks. Happy to adapt my schedule to your pups needs. Let me know what the ideal day looks like for them. I have a 1/4 acre yard with a 6ft privacy fence. I also have a large doggie door where my pup can go in and out when they please.
About: Hi! I’m Christy, and I absolutely love caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers naps and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away for peace of mind. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. My goal is to make your pet’s time with me as fun, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to help care for your pup! I only have school Monday 11-3 and Wednesday 11-3 I’m free whenever you need me. Give me a quick call and I’ll be on my way! I have harness and leashes for small and medium dogs. I have a medium size kennel. If you need me to bring any of the dogs items, I have a big car to pick them up. I also have a nice neighbor hood that I can walk the dog. I can only care for 1-3 dogs at a time though.
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!
About: I have taken care of my families dogs on and off for many years, small and large. I am a very good listener, tell me the rules and I will enforce them. I am a part time college student, Monday and Wednesday afternoons, so I can spend nights those days keeping watch, but the rest of the week? Fully free. 24 hr care. I am quick to adapt my environment once pointed around, I can send scheduled updates on how your "little guy" is doing throughout the day.
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: I take Dog services very seriously and take great care of any pet that is under my care. I can provide basic care for your dogs, dog-walking, dog-grooming, or even go to your home and provide basic services for your pets. My home consists of my wife, my son and 2 daughter's, and 3 dogs, which can be seperate from your pets for safety and care. If you have any special requests or extra care needed for your dogs please feel free to let me know how I can accommodate for you. Visit my website for more information (Lovatosk9training) I groom many dogs and can trim, clean ear, brush teeth, trim nails and moisturize their paws. I do dog socialization, if you want your dog to meet another dog and be more socialized, Also I do basic dog obedience training as well as other training as needed. If you need any other services please let me know so we can accomodate. Visit my website for more information (Lovatosk9training) We are located in a mobile home so we have no at home field, however I take the dogs on walks around here anywhere from 0.5 mile to 3 miles or even bike runs if they need. Some dogs require alot more exercise and we can accommodate that if needed. I have an outdoor storage area that I have turned into a dog grooming area, it is climate controlled and maintained daily for cleanliness. Visit my website for more information (Lovatosk9training)
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: I have always had pets of my own, done pet sitting and walked dogs since I was young. I've enjoyed spending time with various pets and animals. I have volunteered on horse farms, Vocal animal shelter and have held jobs at animal hospitals. I have a ton of various experience with pets from all walks of life; no pet is too big of a task for me! Aside from caring for pets, I own my own cleaning business here locally in Ocala. I make my own schedule and am open and ready to accommodate yours. I'd love to provide excellent and loving care to all your fur babies!

“Andi took such exceptional care of our Harvey. She treated him as if he were her own puppy and kept me updated on how he was doing. I was a little nervous about leaving him, but that didn’t last long. She let me know how he was eating, getting along with her dog and how much he loved playing with their toddler . This all put me at ease! I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. We will definitely use her again. Thank Andi for taking such good care of our boy🥰”

“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”
“Anas and Tate are the best! They took great care of Kaine and Lyuba like their own. We appreciate the cute pictures and videos to keep us posted. There's nothing like confidence and assurance that your dogs are safe, comfortable and loved when you're away from them and that's what Anas and Tate gave us. So thank you so very much. We truly appreciate you.”
“We are so grateful for your family! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs and for being so kind and supportive through our last minute flight changes. Highly recommend!”

“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.”
“I left my dog Sequoia with Cyndi while I was away for a week over Christmas visiting my relatives. Cyndi and her family took care of Sequoia as if she were a regular member of their household. Cyndi sent me photos and some videos that showed what wonderful care she was getting. If I go away again for a short or long time I will absolutely use Cyndi's service. And I highly recommend her to other pet owners!!!”

Ashley provides picture updates and is quick to communicate! She makes drop off and pick up easy and has the perfect set up! We’ve already booked our next trips with Ashley!”
“We had a wonderful pet-sitting experience with Nelieze! Our dog, Lulu, was exceptionally well cared for and loved while we were away. Nelieze was amazing—kind, reliable, accommodating, and attentive to Lulu’s needs. She kept us updated and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our furry family member was in great hands. We picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Nelieze to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
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 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 have a pool which is available for your pup if they love to swim!

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!

“Lila took such great care of Haze over the weekend while I was away for my daughter’s birthday. She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Haze was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“Joseph and his dad took great care of Mia. I was worried about her being around his dog, Luna, because she is a big dog. Normally, Mia doesn't get along well with big dogs. She loved Luna, and they did well together. I had an emergency the night I was supposed to pick up Mia. Joseph was gracious enough to let Mia stay until I could pick her up the next day. Joseph is very kind, understanding, and compassionate. You can tell that Joseph and his dad really love dogs.”
