“Kelly and her family were a great place for Finn to stay for a week!! He came home and was so bored with just me!!!! Haha Communication was great for the whole week! I’d have no problem leaving Finn with them again!!!”
“Alejandra watched my very energetic dog for 7 days and everything went great. Every day she sent updates with pictures or video so I could see how my pup was doing. I would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends.”
“Diane is the best. Oddie loved his stay with her. I loved the pictures I received each day and Diane and her husband were so attentive to Oddie and he was spoiled with attention and love. Definitely a great choice if you need a sitter for your pups. I could not have been more pleased.”
“Trudy was absolutely wonderful! Communication was always quick, clear, and professional. She sent daily photos of Charlie, which really helped ease my mind while I was away. It was clear he was being well taken care of and enjoying himself. I felt completely confident leaving him in her hands. I would highly recommend Trudy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Brooke was fantastic with our two dogs. They stayed with her two nights while we were out of town and we could not be happier with our experience. Brooke was very responsive and answered all of our questions before our dogs stayed. During our stay Brooke was excellent with both our younger, more active dog as well as our older dog who needs a little help getting up sometimes and has daily medications that must be administered. Our dogs were so happy and wonderfully exhausted after their visit and we would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking to leave their dogs in a happy, safe, and caring home while traveling. We expect that we will use Brooke again in the future.”

Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to treat their pups as my own while away on vacation or just an unplanned trip where the pups couldn’t come. I’m currently only working part-time, which means I have plenty of time to love and care for your pups while you’re away! I have two boys, who love dogs and have tons of energy to play with them as well if your fur baby has tons of energy like them! I live on a huge farm, with plenty of space for your fur baby to run and/or go for walks. We have cows, donkeys and chickens that fur baby’s love to see. I can easily crate your dog if needed!

“Bianca is such a caring, thoughtful, and patient person. It was our first time being apart from our little guy in very long time but Bianca was understanding and had a great energy that helped us feel assured he’d be in good hands. Within an hour she’d sent us updates and we could already see Mylo felt right at home alongside her, her daughter, and her dog Kasha – who is also very gentle, loving, and got along well with our pup. Throughout the sit Bianca kept in touch with us regularly so we always felt at ease and could enjoy our trip, which meant a lot. We returned to find our little buddy being his typical jolly self and could tell he also got to enjoy a little adventure of his own! It was our first time using Rover or trusting someone new with our sweet boy but we’re so grateful we found Bianca!

About: Hello fellow cat lovers! 🐾 My name is Brian, and I’ve been devoted to caring for cats for years — from outgoing kittens who want endless playtime to shy rescues who need quiet patience and trust. I believe every cat is unique, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. My Cat Experience All Personalities Welcome: Whether your cat is a confident lap-sitter, a curious explorer, or a cautious hider, I respect their boundaries and meet them where they’re comfortable. Building trust with shy or anxious cats is something I take pride in. Daily Care: I’ll keep your cat’s routine consistent with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and, of course, plenty of affection (if they’re in the mood!). Play & Enrichment: I know how important stimulation is — from wand toys and laser chases to puzzle feeders, I’ll make sure your cat has both mental and physical activity during my visits. Special Needs: I have experience with cats who require oral medications, supplements, or special diets. I always follow detailed instructions carefully so you can feel confident your kitty is well cared for. Health & Safety: I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or litter habits that could indicate health issues. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away. What I Provide Drop-in Visits: I’ll stop by your home for feeding, playtime, litter box care, and snuggles (if your cat allows). Overnight Care: For cats who prefer extra companionship, I’m available to stay overnight so they feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. Updates & Photos: I know how much peace of mind matters — I’ll send you regular updates and adorable photos so you always know how your cat is doing. Why Choose Me? Cats are more than pets — they’re family. I don’t just “check in” on cats; I connect with them, respect their independence, and give them the care they deserve. My goal is to make sure your cat is not only safe and comfortable, but also genuinely happy while you’re away. Whether your kitty wants lap cuddles, energetic playtime, or simply someone to make sure their world stays calm and predictable, I’m here to provide care that keeps tails up and purrs going strong.
“Maryanne & Danielle were excellent! They were in contact with me twice a day keeping me informed of any concerns they had with my dogs & cats. They even found a loving home for my last surviving chicken, others were killed by a fox! I highly recommend them and we will certainly hire them again to care for our dogs & cats for our next trip out of town.”
About: Friends and family have gifted me opportunity to learn of and care for their cats over the years. I have experience in how they play, the space they may need, the strict feeding routine, and cleaning litter boxes.
“Pauline was great with my dogs, they had to warm up a bit but that was expected. She was on time and satisfied my needs for pet care. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pets while out of town.”
“Leah is amazing with my dogs! She takes them out three times a week for an hour, and they always come back happy and well-exercised. She’s reliable and truly cares. Highly recommend!”
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.
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress free while you’re away.

“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!”

“Jenna is very knowledgeable and kind. I trust her to walk my babies multiple times a week. She has been very thorough with communication and very flexible in her schedule. I would prefer her for my babies forever.”
About: It's a natural thing to have a dog in my family and I've had the honor to raise my own for quite some time. Through all the trials and triumphs, I've learned the skills so they live like family. The only question they may have is, what's a pet? I am a college student who has taken some time from work to settle in. My schedule on the weekly is consistent, so allow me to fit you in. I have two of my own and outside of my care there is always someone I can count on and that allows me the gift to give forward. I have a fenced in yard along with free range opportunity. Crates are available. Attention is given and dietary restrictions will be followed. Toys are allowed and will be returned. In my home we take long walks, we free feed, there are several sleeping arrangements, baths are given, toys are shared, we take car rides, my dogs enjoy hunting, and I enjoy painting their nails.
About: Hi there! 🐾 My name is Brian, and animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up surrounded by family pets to helping neighbors with their furry friends, I’ve built years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional small critter. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I love. Experience & Skills Dogs of All Sizes & Personalities: I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies who are still learning leash manners to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. Whether it’s high-energy walks, playtime fetch sessions, or slow, comforting strolls, I tailor each outing to the dog’s needs. Cats & Small Pets: I understand that cats and smaller animals need a calm and respectful approach. I’m comfortable providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving affection, or simply being a quiet, trustworthy presence for those who are more independent. Medication & Special Needs: I have experience administering oral medications and following special feeding or activity routines. I know how important consistency is for pets with health needs, and I always take extra care to follow instructions closely. Safety First: I’m attentive on walks, always checking surroundings, watching for other animals, and making sure your pet is safe and comfortable. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. What I Offer Dog Walking: From quick potty breaks to long, energy-burning walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Drop-in Visits: I can stop by for feeding, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pets are happy, hydrated, and cared for while you’re away. House Sitting: For pets who prefer the comfort of their own space, I’m available to stay in your home, keeping your pet company and maintaining their normal routine. Why Choose Me? I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand the trust it takes to let someone else care for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect regular updates, photos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. At the end of the day, I want both you and your pet to feel at ease. My goal is to provide not just reliable pet care, but genuine companionship that makes tails wag and purrs rumble. One of the most important parts of pet care is consistency, and I structure my schedule to make sure your pets get the attention they need when they need it most. 🐾 Weekly Availability Weekdays (Mon–Fri): I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This means I can cover everything from quick morning potty breaks to afternoon walks or evening feedings. Weekends (Sat–Sun): I keep my weekends flexible for pet care, so whether you’re away for the day or traveling overnight, I can be there to keep your pets happy and safe. Flexibility I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. If your plans change suddenly, I’ll do my best to step in and help. I can adjust to your pet’s normal routine — whether they’re early risers, midday snackers, or nighttime cuddlers, I’ll keep their schedule consistent so they feel secure. Services by Time of Day Morning Walks / Check-Ins: Great for pups who need exercise before you head to work. Midday Visits: Perfect for a potty break, feeding, or playtime to break up the day. Evening Care: Walks, dinner feeding, litter care, or winding down with snuggles. Overnight Stays: For pets who need extra comfort, I offer overnight house sitting to keep their routine stable in their own home. Communication I’ll always confirm availability ahead of time, and I send updates during each visit so you know exactly when I was there and how your pet is doing. When it comes to caring for pets, I believe three things matter most: safety, trust, and environment. These are the values I bring to every walk, visit, or overnight stay. 🐾 Safety First Your pet’s wellbeing is always my top priority. I stay alert on walks, keeping a close eye on traffic, other animals, and potential hazards. I never let pets off-leash unless in a fully secure, enclosed space, and I follow your instructions carefully when it comes to feeding, exercise, or medications. I’m also trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health so small issues don’t go unnoticed. 🐾 Built on Trust I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets and your home in someone else’s care. That’s why I communicate openly, follow directions to the letter, and send regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing your pets are cared for as if they were my own. 🐾 A Comfortable Environment I believe pets thrive best when their routines and spaces feel consistent. Whether I’m visiting your home or staying overnight, I make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. For cats, that may mean quiet patience and gentle interaction. For dogs, that could mean structured walks and plenty of play. Every animal has their own rhythm, and I take the time to adapt to it.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve fostered a variety of breeds from Great Danes to dachshunds and Rottweilers so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and needs. For the past 6 months, I’ve also been helping with pet sitting and dog care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and providing a calm, consistent routine. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m based in Branford and commute to Gainesville for college, so my schedule can vary slightly throughout the semester. That said, I do my best to be flexible and accommodate requests whenever possible. I’m typically available for care in both areas, including weekends and many weekdays, including holidays with a proper heads up, and I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I’m experienced handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I always prioritize secure environments, proper leash handling, and careful supervision. I provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Booked Bianca for a walk for my Yorkiepoo, Jasmine, and it was perfect. She showed up on time, asked a couple quick questions, and handled Jasmine like a pro. I got a pic during the walk, and Jaz did that happy-tired nap right after. Easy 5 stars.”
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! 🐾❤️
