“We have no concerns once we drop Coco off with Laquitta and James. We get updates and photos throughout the day, which ensures us that Coco is in safe hands. Highly recommend their services.”
“Stefhany and Jean took amazing care of my Dachshund Priscilla!!! She stayed for 9 days and was cared for greatly. I loved the pictures that I got of her while I was away!!! Would definitely rebook in the future.”
“Emily came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Andi. She send us many pictures and messages letting us know how Emily was doing. Emily was very comfortable at Andi’s house and even got to sleep in bed with them.”
“Diana is prompt and professional. She responds quickly. She really cares for her furry guests. She sent pics and videos of Rusty running and playing. A pleasant experience. We will ask her again when Rusty needs his next vacation.”
“She was so great with Benson, accommodating us very last minute on emergency and taking such great care of him, keeping me updated, giving him lots of love and play time. I so appreciate her and it's a great environment with a big yard and playmates. He had a blast and I'm so happy!”
“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.”
“Manny and Jessica took great care of our labradoodle puppy. They see by us pictures and had plenty of outdoor space for our dog to play and romp! I highly recommend them for your pet care!”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“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!”

“Julia was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in a long time that our dog had stayed with someone other than family, so naturally, we were a little anxious about how she would adjust. From the moment she arrived, Julia went above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive and caring she was, especially when it came to helping ease our dog’s anxiety and making sure all of her needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and, without a doubt, will be reaching out to Julia again to care for our fur baby. Thank you so much, Julia, for treating her with such kindness, patience, and love. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾”

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!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Amanda provided for Alex and Fiji. Communication was wonderful from the start and she provided pictures periodically throughout the weekend.

They warmed up to Amanda immediately. Should we have a need, we will definitely book with Amanda again!"”

“Manny & Jessica took such amazing care of our needy cavapoo for a whole entire day while we visited Ocala! We really appreciated their quick responses & cute little update pictures especially since I made such a last minute request (the night before — sorry guys! 🥹) We wish they lived closer to us (in NYC haha) so we can continue trusting them with our little fur baby. Nonetheless, whenever we come back to Ocala, we are 100% booking with them again! Highly recommend 10/10 😊”
“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.”

About: I have adored dogs since I was a little girl and truly believe they have the purest hearts of any creature on earth. Growing up, I was surrounded by four dogs of all different sizes, which taught me early on how to care for a pack and appreciate every unique personality. I don't discriminate when it comes to breeds. To me, a dog's genuine, nonjudgmental, and loving nature is what matters most. My empathy for animals runs deep, and my goal is to give every pup the love they deserve. I currently have a sweet Corgi (a wonderful gift from my daughter!), but my heart has always been dedicated to shelter pups and making sure every dog feels safe and understood. I bring endless patience, empathy, and a lifetime of hands on experience to every dog I welcome into my home. Because I am fully retired, my schedule is completely open and dedicated to what truly makes me happy: spending my days with dogs! Pet care isn't just something I fit into my day; it is my day. Your pet will rarely be left alone. Whether it's morning cuddles, afternoon play sessions in the background, keeping me company while I cook, or just relaxing together in our home, I am home full-time to provide constant companionship, supervision, and all the undivided attention they could ever want. I’ve set up my home to be as safe and comfortable for dogs as possible. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where they can run, play, and enjoy the sunshine. Inside, it’s cozy, completely dog friendly, and a child free environment. I really just want your dog to feel like they are relaxing in their own home. Your pup will also have my friendly resident Corgi to keep them company. To make sure the dogs don't overheat during the hot afternoons, my husband and I take them out for walks in the evening once it has cooled down. We live right next to a trailhead that is perfect for these evening strolls. I am always patient with new arrivals and will pay close attention to their behavior, adapting to whatever they need so they feel secure, relaxed, and loved the moment they arrive.

I am able to administer oral medications and have cared for senior pets in the past. Yes, I am full time available 7am-5pm also available early evening. Upon requests I’m also available nights…I will make arrangements to fit your pet’s schedule. I have a 6 ft tall fenced backyard for entertainment and playtime. Your pet(s) will be attended and supervised at all times. I also have three of my own dogs, a husky, Pomeranian, and Chihuahua who are friendly. I also would love to visit your house to take care of your fur babies and make them feel right at home.
About: I have taken care of, walked, and house sat for many years. I have experience with small to large house dogs, competition dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs. I also have experience with giving multiple medications to many dogs all within the same household. I have also owned, cared for, and lived with multiple cats. I just moved to Ocala and have a wide open schedule while I settle in. I am available morning, noon, and night. I'd love to lend a helping hand! I try to maintain an orderly environment. I work with the dog so there is a sense of trust and comfort since I am a stranger to them, as well as an understanding that I am in charge in order to maintain a controlled and safe environment
“Madelin was very easy to reach and book on short notice. She was very communicative about the entire visit and sent many pictures. I look forward to taking her on as a repeat client. My dog Koda loved her very much.”
“Daniela was amazing ! She took good care of our babies while we were away. From meeting her the first day we knew she love pets and they would be in great care! Will definitely book again! 💕”
“Christian was great. This was a last min gig and one of my two dogs is very difficult. Christian was very patient and eventually convienced my little dog that he was trustworthy. I will most certainly use again if he'll have us! LOL.”
“My dog is fearful of any new people and Lorraine was so patient with him! She knew just what to do and is truly a dog lover. It is such a relief to know we have someone willing to work at our pups pace and comfort level.”

“Emily came home happy and tired from all the fun she had with Andi. She send us many pictures and messages letting us know how Emily was doing. Emily was very comfortable at Andi’s house and even got to sleep in bed with them.”
“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.”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“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!”
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!
“Julia was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in a long time that our dog had stayed with someone other than family, so naturally, we were a little anxious about how she would adjust. From the moment she arrived, Julia went above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive and caring she was, especially when it came to helping ease our dog’s anxiety and making sure all of her needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and, without a doubt, will be reaching out to Julia again to care for our fur baby. Thank you so much, Julia, for treating her with such kindness, patience, and love. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾”
“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: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs ranging from Boxers and German Shepherds to Terrier mixes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have also completed a Leash Reactive Dog Course Certification, which has given me valuable training in understanding and safely handling dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or overstimulated on walks. This helps me provide calm, confident care while prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort. In addition, I have experience caring for cats of many breeds, including Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and both long-haired and short-haired domestic cats. I've cared for cats from playful kittens to senior companions, giving me experience with age specific needs and senior care. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, reactive, or in their golden years, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own family. I currently work from home while my husband grows our family inspection business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of belly rubs. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Recently, I lost my beloved cat after 17 wonderful years. While we're not quite ready to welcome another permanent pet into our family, the universe seemed to have other plans. A wounded stray cat found her way into our driveway and into our hearts. We took her in, got her the care she needed, and are now helping her heal and thrive. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I'd love the opportunity to provide the same love, attention, and dependable care to your pets while you're away. I provide a calm, low-stress home environment where pets receive plenty of individualized attention. Because I work from home, I'm able to give pets lots of supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers relaxing in a quiet setting or needs extra playtime and exercise, I tailor my care to their unique personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Linda is wonderful, caring and you can see how much she loves animals. Our girl is a little high maintenance and Linda went over and above to make sure she was taken care of. Kept us updated with pictures. Our girl felt right at home the moment she arrived. She also fell in love with Ron he played ball with her which is her favorite pass time. She had a great time . So grateful for her.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only cat sitter we trust — worth every mile we drive! For over two years, we’ve been dropping our two cats off at Taylor’s house whenever we travel, and we never worry for a second. She treats them like her own: endless playtime, cuddles, brushing our long-haired kitty, and the sweetest daily photos and videos that make us smile the whole trip. Our once-shy cats now explore the moment we arrive. We always pick up happy, relaxed, perfectly cared-for cats. Her home is spotless and clearly a cat paradise. We feel 100% safe leaving our babies with her — total peace of mind every time. We’ve already booked her for the next trip! If you want someone who will love your cats as much as you do, book Taylor now. She’s absolutely the best! 🐾❤️”
“Wonderful experience- friendly, dependable, and very attentive to our dogs’ needs. Great communication throughout the stay and lots of updates. They went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley takes very good care of Tucker, sometimes for a couple of weeks at a time. I never worry about him when I'm away. Her two dogs are really chill and Tucker enjoys them very much.”
“Heidi was great. I got turned down several times due to my boy being a pitbull. She didn't hesitate and agreed to take him in. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a special someone to care for their extended family member.”
“Our two little guys came with a few quirks and rules and Kim did wonderfully with them! One of them had a minor medical concern and Kim kept us up to date including photos. She took them on walks, gave them plenty of snuggles, and turned them in great shape. Would definitely go with her for sitting in the future!”
“Faniza took great care of our two year old whippet while we were out of town for three days! She replied quickly, greeted us at 0700 and communicated thoroughly throughout the length of the stay with texts, photos and videos. I would definitely take our dog to stay with her again.”
“Shweta was amazing with Roscoe! She kept us posted every day of a long trip and even helped supplement his food when he ran out at the end. She did lots of training with him, and I can tell he came home very happy and relaxed.”
“Brianna is a sweet dog lover. She is caring and professional. I will definitely be using her again. My dog rolled around in the mud on a rainy day and she offered to bath him. He smelt real good and fresh when we picked him up. Thanks Brianna”
