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!
“Vanessa accepted my last minute request and was very responsive. I was unsure if my dog would get along with other dogs, but she made me feel at ease and reassured me that it would be fine. She sent me a couple of pics and a video of him playing. I would definitely bring my dog back again.”
“Joseph took great care of our dog, Poppy. His entire family showed Poppy love & kindness the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend this sitter as your next go to!”
“Maria ia awesome! We were very happy with Bella"s stay. Bella looked awesome when we picked her up and very excited. I recommend Maria to anyone looking for a great sitter. We will be using her in the future”
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.

“I have used Josephine for drop in visits and boarding and she is amazing. I have a difficult time trusting others with my dogs because they are my babies but I never have to question if my dogs are being taken care of properly when they’re with Josephine. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Kat did an excellent job caring for our dog when we were away for the day! She came by twice to take our dog out and to feed him dinner. Will definitely be contacting her again when we need assistance!”
“This was our second time using Raegan to drop in on our 2 cats and we highly recommend! She followed all of our care instructions and kept our home clean for when we returned and was very responsive anytime we needed to reach her. We definitely suggest using her for your pet sitting needs!”
“She did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy during the drop in visits. She was attentive, followed all instructions and made sure my puppy was safe and well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend again”
About: I have owned several cats since I was 8 years old! I have ample experience with cat sitting for friends and family. As a cat owner myself, I will make sure that your cats get the love and care that they need while I am watching them. I have experience with administering medications, providing specialized diets, grooming/claw clipping, and hundreds of hours of play experience! I have cared for a variety of cat breeds and cared for cats of all ages.
“Kate was great and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She responds quickly, is very understanding, and was available for me in a pinch. 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. Her drop in visit was perfect, and Geno was thrilled!”
About: Having owned a barn I have experience with all types of pets. I have experience with difficult pet kids. Trained in administering oral, IV & IM meds. My schedule allows me to be available anytime at your place or mine. Boarding, daily walks, just some together time or vet apts. Your companions care is my priority. Your fur babies are treated to long walks and massages. They will be the only pet(s) staying at my place. I care for them as my own.
About: I have trained my dog since puppyhood have 3+ years of trusted pet sitting, and my experience caring for my elderly grandfather has taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion skills I bring to every pet I care for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and have a flexible job schedule. I am organized to meet each dogs needs while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. At my home, pets get a safe, cozy space and lot of attention according to the owners requirements. In clients homes, I follow their routine and care for pets like they are my own.
“Evelynn was very kind when I met her during our meet and greet, and she did a wonderful job with my dog Zoe who can be quite reactive and a bit nervous at times. She was very communicative with me and followed all of my directions perfectly! Overall, she did an amazing job with both my animals!”

“Miranda is fabulous!!! She took such great care of our girl, Maple. Maple is very shy and Miranda took extra time to make her feel comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Miranda - we will certainly be booking again!”
“My first time leaving Gillean, I was anxious and nervous despite meet and greet. I knew he would do well, but this is my baby. Ana and family Sent me videos and pictures to reassure me that he was loving it. He was so happy in all videos, made my heart happy. He passed out on ride home! Going to use weekly, true hidden gem.”
“Zakary was a wonderful dog sitter. They communicated before my stay as well as during my stay. They took amazing photos of my dogs. They have a wonderful yard in the front of the house with obstacles for your dogs in a very safe gated area. I would absolutely use them again during my next trip in Gainesville. Oh, and they gave my dogs, home-cooked chicken and rice with my permission.”
“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!”
“Samantha is wonderful! She is flexible, easy going, and shows sincere care and love for my dogs, Teddy and Lou. I found her very helpful in terms of transportation for the dogs too. My dogs enjoyed their time with her and her husband. I am definitely planning to use her services again.”
“I initially wanted to hire her to walk Koda twice daily. I’m glad she suggested he go to her place for doggy day care. I can tell he is having a blast. The family is very friendly. They’ve just earned a regular customer.”

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.
“Maria and her family are VERY NICE. We were very worried at first since our dog has never been left with other people before but she made us feel at ease. Our dog was very happy and if we ever go back to gainesville again we will definitely contact her again :)”
“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'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.
“Danielle was very easy to communicate with, and we are very grateful for the peace of mind she gave us in watching our dogs while my fiancé and I worked long shifts. I could tell That she truly enjoys interacting with dogs, and from the pictures and texts she sent it was obvious that our dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed her visits. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again to care for them.”

About: I have experience with pet sitting for about four years now. This includes cat sitting, dog sitting/walking, and even working at a doggy daycare for a year and a half! I currently work and am a student at the University of Florida! I am still pretty flexible on my time, so reach out and we can work something out!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them! I’ve had dogs of my own and have also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, cats, rabbits, and even snakes. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and naturally match their energy, whether they’re playful and active or just want some extra cuddles and attention. I currently work from home and am able to make my own schedule. I love animals and would have a blast playing with your pet between tasks. Since I work from home I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule to meet your pets needs. I do not have any other pets currently. I can accommodate almost any need with my current schedule. I live in a great neighborhood for walks and love to walk myself.
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'm a very responsible adult professional. Once I commit, you can rest assured that your pet(s) will be in the very best hands. We have always had our pets as part of our family. I have also cared for other's pets for extended periods when they've gone out of town many times. I love walking and going on adventures! I work a consistent registered nursing schedule at a hospital, which gives me several full days each week to dedicate to pet care. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, meals, medications, and companionship they need. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow the owner's instructions closely, maintain a calm and safe environment, and pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that may be important. I’m comfortable following detailed routines and communicating promptly with owners.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, patience, reliability, and hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, walking, and basic training. I treat every pet like my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I provide loving, attentive care by following their routine, keeping them safe and comfortable, giving them exercise and playtime, and making sure they have fresh food and water.
“My Lexi was in good hands with Evelyn. I was in Europe at the time that I had to arrange for extra help. I loved the photos she sent me of their walks together. I could tell that Lexi was happier when they got together, she always had a smile on her face. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I’ve raised my own chocolate lab the past 9 years as well as having dogs my whole life back home. I am a graduate student at UF so I do have a busy class schedule but have weekends free! I’m home a lot outside of class time. I live in a town home with 3 amazing roommates and with the company of my chocolate lab to keep your pup entertained! We go on many walks and to the dog park to get all the energy out.
About: I am a first year vet student. I was a vet tech for 5 years before getting into vet school. I am Fear Free certified. I have loved animals all my life. I have four babies of my own. Two cats, Ravioli and Rigatoni, a dog, Macaroni, and a bearded dragon, Spyro. I always make time for animals. They are the light of my life and why I chose vet medicine. Working with animals makes my heart happy. I will work with you to accommodate both of our schedules and needs ! I walk my own dog 4 to 6 times a day. She also loves to play frisbee. She is a very friendly girl. My cats are perfect. I clean their litter boxes about every other day.
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.

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!”
“Vanessa accepted my last minute request and was very responsive. I was unsure if my dog would get along with other dogs, but she made me feel at ease and reassured me that it would be fine. She sent me a couple of pics and a video of him playing. I would definitely bring my dog back again.”
“Joseph took great care of our dog, Poppy. His entire family showed Poppy love & kindness the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend this sitter as your next go to!”
“Maria ia awesome! We were very happy with Bella"s stay. Bella looked awesome when we picked her up and very excited. I recommend Maria to anyone looking for a great sitter. We will be using her in the future”
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.
