“Josephine and family took really good care of Shiloh my pup. Shiloh seemed to be living life and having loads of fun, he got his nails trimmed and a bath, 8 day's may have been a little long for him since he never experienced me being gone so long but, he played with other pups, overall im extremely impressed by the Love ❤️ this family gave Shiloh and he is now home lying on couch sleeping, tomorrow he'll be back to his home life, I'll definitely be checking for Josephine's availability from time to time.”

It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care.

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past three years, so I understand how much love, attention, and patience our furry friends need. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play, love going for walks, or prefer a relaxing day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to give every dog the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own! I only have 1-2 classes a day and nothing on the weekends so I have plenty of time to give your babies lots of love ❤️ I have one chihuahua who is very chill, playful and loves new friends. I also have a big 1 acre fenced area that I can take the dogs to walk and play off the leash as much as they want. Inside I let the animals roam and play freely (Blyss has plenty of toys to share) but I can also have them separated if needed. I also love to give treats if allowed!

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.

About: I have taken care of cats of all temperaments when I worked at a shelter. Some cats have a hard time with new people and that’s ok. I am very patient and respectful of their space and usually they let me do what I need to do. I also currently have a cat of my own who was formerly a stray and has some health issues so I have experience giving oral medication and eyedrops. I also feed a few stray cats in my area and they have come to accept my presence even though they’re pretty feral. Overall, I have experience with all kinds of cats and usually the answer is plenty of patience and they will at least accept my presence.

A lot of people are intimidated by Geno's size, and he still very much has a lot of "puppy energy" in him, so it's not always easy to find someone who embraces a big furry dog.

About: Loving & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! 🐾 Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, and today I’m a proud pet parent to 6 dogs, 3 cats, and a variety of other amazing animals—including sugar gliders, turtles, fish, mice, snakes, and lizards. 🩷 I have cared for dogs of all ages—from fragile newborn puppies to seniors needing extra love and patience. I’m experienced in providing special care for older pets and am attentive to any unique needs or quirks they may have, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. With over 6 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, animal care specialist, and groomer, I bring both expertise and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, administering special care, or simply giving them extra affection, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently working off of my own schedule so I have a ton of flexibility! I can do same day appointments and adjustments if needed! When providing care in either my home or a client’s home, my priority is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any special instructions provided—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or unique care needs—so your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and if treats are allowed, I’m happy to use them as part of positive interactions. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, offering snuggles, companionship, and the highest level of care so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.

“I am very happy with Teddy's recent daycare stay with Chair! Chari is communicative, flexible, and accommodating. Teddy was really taken with her and her boyfriend and even attempted to follow them into the house when they went to retrieve his things as they were returning from a walk. I was a little worried about what Teddy's behavior might be due to him being puppy with a lot of energy. Chari reassured me several times that everything would be fine, and it certainly was. I plan to use Chari again for daycare for both, Teddy, and my dog Lou. I highly recommend Chari for pet care!”

My background includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, shelter and rescue work, pet sitting, and animal care at Walt Disney World's Best Friends Pet Care. I specialize in providing personalized care for senior pets, anxious pets, and those with medical needs who may not thrive in a traditional boarding environment.

My experience includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, pet sitting, rescue work, shelter management, Disney's Best Friends Pet Care, and PetSmart Pet Hotel. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, livestock, and pets with significant medical or behavioral needs. To provide individualized care, I intentionally limit the number of boarding guests I accept at one time. However, multi-dog families are welcome; please message for updated availability.

About: I’ve been a dog-mom for the past 14 years. Recently, our dog crossed over the rainbow bridge and we want to love on some dogs the way our dog was loved. We have cared for puppies and senior dogs alike for many years. We are active and enjoy exercising and playing outside with dogs or just relaxing at home, depending on your pet’s needs. Both online teachers, we are organized and routine-oriented, and offer flexibility with scheduling. We currently do not have children or other animals in our home. We will take care of your dog as if it were our own. We are experienced in administering medicine and supplements as-needed. We will only watch one family’s dog(s) at a time to ensure your baby(ies) gets the attention he or she deserves. We have relied on Rover for many years in the past with our own dog so we understand the desire to feel comfortable with whom you leave your animal while you’re away. We hope you’ll choose us for your dog-sitting needs! Working from home, we have flexible schedules for pick-up and drop-off. We are able to spend lots of quality time with your pup! We have a neighborhood for walking dogs and live just a few miles from a dog park. We will ensure your dog gets the exercise or relaxation he or she needs.

“Liza and her roommates made my pup feel right at home, so much so that by the third day of dog sitting, he was literally whimpering and clamoring to greet Lisa when we arrived in the morning. Each day, he ran inside and never looked back. It was clear that he had all the attention and care he wanted each day! I will happily return when we next need a dog sitter.”

About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, and today I’m a proud pet parent to 6 dogs, 3 cats, and a variety of other amazing animals—including sugar gliders, turtles, fish, mice, snakes, and lizards. 🩷 I have cared for dogs of all ages—from fragile newborn puppies to seniors needing extra love and patience. I’m experienced in providing special care for older pets and am attentive to any unique needs or quirks they may have, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. With over 6 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, animal care specialist, and groomer, I bring both expertise and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, administering special care, or simply giving them extra affection, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently working off of my own schedule so I have a ton of flexibility! I can do same day appointments and adjustments if needed! When providing care in either my home or a client’s home, my priority is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any special instructions provided—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or unique care needs—so your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and if treats are allowed, I’m happy to use them as part of positive interactions. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, offering snuggles, companionship, and the highest level of care so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past three years, so I understand how much love, attention, and patience our furry friends need. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play, love going for walks, or prefer a relaxing day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to give every dog the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own! I only have 1-2 classes a day and nothing on the weekends so I have plenty of time to give your babies lots of love ❤️ I have one chihuahua who is very chill, playful and loves new friends. I also have a big 1 acre fenced area that I can take the dogs to walk and play off the leash as much as they want. Inside I let the animals roam and play freely (Blyss has plenty of toys to share) but I can also have them separated if needed. I also love to give treats if allowed!

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.

About: I've taken care of family and friends pets of all kinds and sizes. No animal is too tricky for me, I love a pet that is just as unique as their mom or dad! I'm currently available Monday-Friday with occasional weekends. I am in between jobs so my schedule can fit your needs! I even don't mind hanging out with your fur baby more than once a day if needed. I have a fully fenced in acre of land and a brand new car that is reliable for any pick up needs. I also have multiple pet beds and toys at my house if any time there is requested. We lost our fur baby in January so my house may still have her scent in spots. I've lived in Gainesville for 6 years, but have known the roads of Gainesville for 12, so I am very comfortable with the town and know the best walking spots!

About: *I have been taking care of pets not only on a personal level for over 20 years but on a professional level as well for 10 years. I have prior experience as a veterinary technician assistant and can handle pets no matter what the situation may be. I have prior experience with senior pets or even pets with special needs. I of course have experience with pets that are full of energy and love to play. And we can't forget about the puppies who need help with socializing and potty training. I can also give baths, ear cleaning and nail trims as well just let me know. *All animals are unique in their own special way, they have things they like and things they do not like, while in my care I can promise that their care will be fitted to your fur babies needs while you are away. *I am always available to give your fur baby all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am available for drop ins, daycare, boarding just let me know the dates and times that you are needing and we can get it arranged. *I live in a house on a secluded 1.32 acres of land along with a large fenced yard. I have 2 small children as well but trust me I have experience with spicy animals as well as making sure safety is a priority. I have 5 friendly dogs that would love to have play dates or I can easily crate or separate my own personal pets or your pets (with your permission) if needed. If crating is not an option my house is set up to where I can keep my personal pets and your pets separated from each other without the need of crates. I also have plenty of toys and even a doggy pool to help keep your fur babies happy while you are away. I offer the option of pickup/drop offs being done but only by meeting outside, I do not want the fur babies to feel like I am taking them away from their owner. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have two beautiful children along with 5 very spoiled dogs that I consider my own children as well. I have a fenced yard and crates if you are okay with crating. I also have baby gates as well. If dogs need to have separation time that is understandable or if they need to be separated 100% of the time I can have that set up with no issues. Everyone's safety is 100% important no matter what.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats (small and large, often multiple at once), and animals tend to connect with me easily. For over 10 years I rescued and fostered cats and kittens, and along the way I also cared for a boa, several birds, a hedgehog, and mice. I’m comfortable and genuinely happy caring for all kinds of animals with patience, love, and respect. At home, I have two cats of my own, Juno (4) and Vesta (3). Vesta needs daily eye drops, so I’m well-practiced in medication administration and comfortable with pets who need a little extra care. I offer drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I treat every pet as if they were my own — consistent routines, lots of affection, and close attention to their needs. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I’m available full-time, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, pet care fits easily into my flexible daily routine. At home I have two cats, Juno and Vesta, both comfortable around visiting pets. I’m experienced with medication administration (Vesta gets daily eye drops), dog walking and will keep a calm, clean, attentive environment for every animal in my care.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for my own dog, who is about 100 pounds! Having a large dog has made me very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also trained her myself, so I have experience with basic commands, routines, leash walking, and being patient and consistent. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I’ll treat every pet I care for like they’re my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, and I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m used to planning my day around my own dog’s needs, so caring for pets is already a normal part of my everyday life. I’m also flexible throughout the week and can work with different schedules depending on what you and your pet need! I always make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow any instructions and routines the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific rules they have for their pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and are never put in an unsafe situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll always care for them like I would my own!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve sat for my friends and family’s pets for 2 years consistently. I have experience with reactive dogs and disabled dogs as well. I’m unemployed at the moment so I have a lot of flexibility to keep my clients happy. I am the only person with a car in my family but that won’t be an issue I’m committed to following the normal routine that your pet is accustomed to. I like taking walks and I’ll make sure your pet gets in some exercise while they are in my care

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. From raising playful puppies to providing gentle, attentive senior care, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s journey. I’m confident in training, daily routines, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs to ensure comfort, consistency, and happiness. My goal is to offer dependable, loving care—treating every dog as if they were my own. I have two wonderful dogs of my own who receive my daily love and attention, but outside of their care, my schedule is flexible and open. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to giving your pets the same level of comfort and care I give my own. Whether it’s a quick bathroom break in the backyard or full house and pet sitting for multiple nights, I provide attentive, reliable care with professionalism and love. You can trust that every task will be completed thoughtfully, and that your pets will feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.

“Josephine and family took really good care of Shiloh my pup. Shiloh seemed to be living life and having loads of fun, he got his nails trimmed and a bath, 8 day's may have been a little long for him since he never experienced me being gone so long but, he played with other pups, overall im extremely impressed by the Love ❤️ this family gave Shiloh and he is now home lying on couch sleeping, tomorrow he'll be back to his home life, I'll definitely be checking for Josephine's availability from time to time.”

“Ashley H. was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly caring. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes pride in providing exceptional care. Throughout the stay, Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My Rocky B. was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality. I would highly recommend Ashley H. to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter on Rover. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

We were sent many photos and videos of Cali playing with her puppy friends, which made us very happy knowing Cali has a good time when we need to travel. Thanks Nina and Laz for being so accommodating with our schedules and such great hosts.”

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past three years, so I understand how much love, attention, and patience our furry friends need. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play, love going for walks, or prefer a relaxing day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to give every dog the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own! I only have 1-2 classes a day and nothing on the weekends so I have plenty of time to give your babies lots of love ❤️ I have one chihuahua who is very chill, playful and loves new friends. I also have a big 1 acre fenced area that I can take the dogs to walk and play off the leash as much as they want. Inside I let the animals roam and play freely (Blyss has plenty of toys to share) but I can also have them separated if needed. I also love to give treats if allowed!

“Rachel is one of the best sitters I’ve had for Eli. She sent multiple photos and updates every day, took him on several walks, and even found a dog he’d play with, which is rare for him. She was flexible when my plans changed, and I’d definitely book again. She knows dogs!”

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.
