“I am so pleased with the attentiveness James and Laquita gave to our very senior poodle, Annie. They are very much animal lovers! Their home is lovely an very clean. They sent pictures of Annie everyday (sometimes several pictures). They are highly motivated to follow your directions to the letter and they ask a lot of questions in order to better respond to your pet. I was exceptionally happy with the love and care Laquita and James provided for our sweet Annie and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to recommend them to others!!!”
“Stefhany was great! I left my babies with her for a whole week while I was on vacation and every single day she sent me pictures and videos! I am so grateful for her and her kids who loved the doggies, and took great care of them. I am definitely rebooking with Stefhany again! Thank you so much! I was able to enjoy my trip and be at peace knowing that Toby and Roxy were in good hands.”
“Excellent with our Luna. She was happy and this is her first time being away from us. Lorraine kept her near her until she felt comfortable. She was at home there in no time. Sent several pictures to let us know she was ok. We will definitely use her again.”
“Diana and her family boarded my Cockapoo Sonni for an entire week. Sonni had not been away from my family for that long ever. Diane was so sweet, she sent me pictures and videos nearly every day to assure me that he was doing ok. Her home was clean and well put together as well. I will definitely be using her again.”
“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!”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“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!”
“Always a pleasure and completely stress free to have Cyndi and her family take care of my Furbaby when I vacation. She is very flexible and takes the utmost care while my dog is in her care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Janelly was very communicative and responsive with me during Asher & Sweetie’s stay with her. They both came home healthy and happy! We will definitely try to have them stay with Janelly next time we can take them with us”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾❤️”
“Noah is super responsive and sent us picture updates while we were away. Our 8mo old Frenchie seemed content when we first showed up to drop him off like he had been there before which helped ease my mind! We will definitely reach out to Noah again and highly recommend! Thank you Noah for being available in general but also on short notice as was our case.”
“Ashley made my dog feel very much at home during his 2-week stay. She sent me photos and updates. Her own pets are very easygoing so my dog fit right in. I would recommend her highly!”

“Lorraine did a wonderful job caring for my cat. She checked in with me regularly to let me know what time she would be arriving and how my cat was doing. I came home to a happy healthy kitty who had been well cared for. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Kim was amazing. We lost track of time as first time parents and were lucky enough to book her just a few days before the holidays, for a lengthy stretch. 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!”
“It was very good to know that Montana was checking in on Jett while we were away! She was even able to get a couple of photos, he’s very shy and elusive. Many thanks for a great job. I’m getting ready to rebook for another trip.”
“Professional and prompt on each visit. Communicated well and with each visit and ensured our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommended and we look forward to using his services again.”
About: I have 2 of my own cats back at home who I miss dearly every day. Any chance I get to snuggle, play, or pet them, I take. I always want to make sure cats are comfortable and at ease. As a girl with anxiety herself, I know cats can feel the same way so being able to let them be in comfort is always my goal!
About: I have been caring for cats since I was young, and cats have been a big part of my life for years. When I lived in India, a stray cat near our home gave birth to kittens twice, and my brother and I adopted two of them, Oliver and Trigger. We cared for them for four years until we moved to the United States and had to leave them with a trusted friend. After moving to Florida, another stray mother cat came to our home and later had kittens as well. We were able to keep two of them, Blackie and Yellow, and they have been part of our family for five years now. Because of these experiences, I’m very comfortable feeding cats, giving them fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m used to cats with different personalities, including shy, independent, playful, and nervous cats. I’m patient, gentle, and reliable, and I always treat every cat like they are my own.
About: Since I was 4, I have taken care of my neighbors, aunts, and friends cats any time they went out of town over night. I would even go get there mail and make sure the house was cleaned before they got home. I love cats! They have the cutest and funniest personalities ever and every last one of them is different.
About: I’ve cared for cats most of my life—from playful kittens to sweet seniors. I provide reliable drop-in visits including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether your cats are indoor or outdoor, they’ll be safe, cared for, and never overlooked.
“Taylor was amazing with ALL my pets including my 5 cats and a few reptiles home for the summer! She made sure they were well taken care of and even sent me a lot of cute photos! I know that I can count on her for any future pet sitting I need! Thank you, Taylor!! My family adores you!!”
“Cyndi was terrific with my cat Lucky. She sent pictures daily. I can see that Lucky was comfortable with her and her family. I have no regrets leaving Lucky. I will always book her to keep my only son. Thanks Cyndi”

I work full time Monday through Friday but can definitely fit in evenings and weekends . I will gladly walk and care for pets in my spare time. Follow the owners wishes and respect the pets like they’re my own kids. Always respect the pets and their boundaries. Love and care for pets .
“Andi and her family treated my severe CH cat (Milkshake) with love and gentle care. He is obviously not as easy to care for as most (normal cats) if you have a disabled pet you will not have to worry if they are cared for at Andis house”

“We are so grateful for Lorraine. She took great care of our dog for 2 days while we were visiting Ocala. Communication was easy. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Lorraine. She was very professional and her house was set up well for dogs. I could tell that the dogs in her care were well cared for. She sent texts and videos throughout the day. There were lots of furry friends for our dog to play with. We would definitely use Lorraine again. Thank you!!”
“Toby was so happy; he appeared as though he had a full day. Noah was so kind and understanding as he responded diligently to my abundant text messages. But, most important of all, Toby interacted positively with a cat for the first time. Thank you, Noah!”
“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.”

“Julia and Allen were fantastic with our boys. We love that they limit the number of dogs they care for to 4. They followed instructions to a tee and made it where we could have zero concerns about our pups. Would highly recommend them.”
“Cyndi is fantastic! She is so thoughtful and caring. She took such great care of our sweet puppy. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the day of my dog running, playing and getting lots of love. Cyndi even let me use her discount code as it was my first time using rover. That was incredibly thoughtful! I very much highly recommend her!”
About: I started caring for dogs over 20 years ago when I was working with a vet in Colorado doing a pet nutrition study with her. She was just starting a doggie daycare and I fell in love with the whole concept. When I moved back home to Ocala in 2007 there were no dog friendly places like there were in Colorado so I decided to open an in home dog daycare. I’ve been doing that for the last 18 years. I have years of experience in dog nutrition, dog boarding and daycare as well working with dogs with special needs whether emotional or due to abuse. I have experience with many different health issues in dogs such as epilepsy, diabetes, megaesophagus, and more. I’m am qualified to give injections, medication, and specialized care for dogs recovering from surgeries, injuries, and physical disabilities. I also have experience with pregnant and nursing moms and their puppies. Pet care is my full time job and life. I do not have any other job. I do have to keep a pretty organized schedule :) My home has a 6’ privacy fence and is set up for dogs to feel that they are at their second home. All dogs coming into my home are fully screened and temperament tested. All vaccinations, recent negative fecal, and proof of preventatives are required before staying. I do provide puppy care in owner’s homes, but not in my home until they are fully vaccinated. I do stay pretty full with boarding, but I am looking to expand and add the service of in-your-home visits mid-day during the week for dogs that have to stay home all day while mom and dad work.
“Manny and Jessica accepted our last minute sitting request which we are so grateful for!. Manny is super nice and was flexible with our timing. Buck had a great time playing and had no hesitation making himself right at home as soon as we arrived. Made me feel very comfortable.”
“Was very nervous about trying to find someone to puppy sit with my crazy schedule. Taylor was very good at communicating and making me feel at ease about Leia being there. Leia took to her and her pack right away and had the best day!!! She slept all night long ? will definitely be using her again ans again. Thank you Taylor ?”
“Dolly loves going to Brianna's house. She always looks forward to playing with the other dogs who live there, as well as other house guests. She comes back happy and content. Dolly and I both love Brianna and Nancy!”

“I recently needed a last minute dog sitter for my two high energy pups while I was away for a day, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Brenda. From the very first meeting, she was warm, professional, and genuinely cared about my dogs’ well-being. She gave me a walk through of her home and showed me where the pups would be and how they have plenty of backyard space with shade to run around and play. She sent the most amazing pictures of my pups playing and swimming, which put my mind completely at ease. My dogs looked happy, well-exercised, which they need as a high energy breed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and truly attentive with your fur babies, I highly recommend Brenda.”
“Janelle was super responsive and accommodating. I was driving from Georgia to get something’s done in Ocala. Unfortunately, I was unable to leave our two pups at home. She was willing to take them in with less than 24 hours notice. Every message was responded to within a couple of minutes, if not seconds!”

About: I've had the joy of having dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I've also gained experience taking care of birds, bunnies, and chickens.

With our flexible schedule, we're able to offer both boarding and daycare services, and we promise to treat your pets like they're part of our family. Whether it's cuddling with our dogs and cats or caring for other animals, we're always ready to provide the love and attention your pets deserve. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I organize my schedule around the pets I care for to ensure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and rest. Since I only accept a maximum of 3 pets at a time for boarding or daycare, I’m able to give each one the personalized care they deserve. This also helps me create a calm and safe environment, especially for smaller dogs, as it prevents them from feeling overwhelmed or at risk around larger or more energetic pets. Safety, trust, and a welcoming environment are at the core of how we care for pets in our home. Our spacious, half-acre fenced yard ensures your pets have a secure and safe space to play, explore, and relax. We take great pride in creating a calm, loving atmosphere where pets feel at ease. As a retired couple, we're home all the time, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods.

You can rest assured knowing that we treat your pets like they are our own, offering a safe, caring environment while they’re in our care.
“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.”
“Ashley is PERFECT in every way. We needed a last minute walker and she swooped right in. I wish I needed a walker more consistently because I would be a repeat client in a heartbeat. Meelou, our usually shy Goldendoodle warmed up to her so fast. She used a squeaky toy on her walks with him to get his attention when he was distracted and was gentle and patient with him. She was incredibly communicative and gave details on every walk that included photos. I'm so thankful to Ashley for going above and beyond to give our dog so much loving kindness while I was away. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND for all dog walking needs.”

I always make sure pets have fresh water, food according to their routine, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I also follow each owner’s instructions carefully because every pet has different needs, habits, and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet’s normal routine is kept as consistent as possible.

I do stay pretty full with boarding, but I am looking to expand and add the service of in-your-home visits mid-day during the week for dogs that have to stay home all day while mom and dad work.
“Courtney is absolutely wonderful and a true animal lover! She has such a friendly personality and is excellent with communication. Her updates are detailed and thoughtful, with plenty of great photos from her walks with my dog, Clifford. During our meet and greet, she was attentive, respectful of my rules, and very open to learning how to handle a prong collar properly. I highly recommend booking Courtney for any pet care services — she’s reliable, caring, and genuinely loves what she does!”
About: - My name is Brittany, and I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life. From Rottys, to Chi's. From large cats to my tiny calico that never, NEVER stops yelling at me for random reasons that I’m sure even she doesn't understand. I work to provide for my cat Maggie. May seem crazy, but to be fair she makes me far happier than anything ever has, so why wouldn't I want to spoil her? I take care of other people's animals like I do my own, by making them a priority. - Kat here, ironically owner of 6 cats ( 4 are fosters, but still, a full house!) I’ve grown up with pets around my whole life, from fish to chickens, dogs to cats, and the occasional horse. I take a stern but affectionate approach when it comes to pet care (think Cesar Millan). Your pet will receive lots of love, as well as maintaining any commands or tricks they may know. B- I am a Realtor and work remotely a lot. My schedule is very flexible. A lot of times I can work while the animals run around outside and have their free time. :) K- I’m a photographer, who works mostly weekends. All other work is done remotely for me as well, so weekdays are super easy for me to stay with your pet as long as needed. B- I have two very friendly roommates who loves all animals. I also try to follow the same routine that the owners have in their own home so the pup is not interrupted in their daily activities. K - Routine is huge and I do my absolute best to stay on time so as not to confuse or stress the pets!
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. My experience in pet care is from living on a farm and having pets since I was 6 years old (Dogs, cats, horses, cows, rabbits, geese, chickens, ducks, turtles, fish, peacocks). Being a lifelong animal lover, I appreciate their distinct personalities and understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I want you to feel confident leaving them with me and know that they are safe and comfortable. I have done work for VOCAL (Voices of Change Animal League) and have been involved with the Humane Society. I enjoy being a part of such wonderful organizations that help animals who need a little extra care. One of the best benefits of working from home is being able to structure my day so it meshes with my pet care lifestyle. I schedule walk breaks so your fur baby and I can get out for a breath of fresh air throughout the workday. I have a secure vinyl fenced back yard and screened in lanai. Our home has security doors and windows and the entire property is monitored by security cameras. I have 4 adult inside rescue cats that are more like my children. If by chance your fur baby doesn't get along with other pets, my cats have their own space away from visitors. I have a dedicated room if your pet needs private space or time to adjust.
About: I have always loved pet sitting for my aunts friends and my family, It brings so much joy and the animals I care for always love being with me. I am currently a full time student, pet-sitting is a flexible job that I love doing, and it works best with my busy school schedule. I will always make sure the dogs are on leashes being aware of the surroundings for their and mine safety. Also being aware when in the house for the other animals, like cats, making sure everything is okay and watching if I go out the house.
About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.
About: I have fur baby myself, an American Pit bull named Pooh Shiesty. I cared for him since a pup and I would love to spend more time with your pets. I have pet sit for a couple of family friends pets, so I have experience walking, feeding, and handling animals. I work part time, as well as being in school full time. I have pretty flexible schedule that allows me to work mornings and afternoons Mon, Wed, and Fri as well as sometimes on the weekends. I can be flexible for you and your pets needs.😊 I stay in an apartment complex with a fenced area for pets to play freely. I am also comfortable with going wherever your pet is most comfortable that fits their schedule and needs.
“Always on time. Kimberly treats my boy as her own and always lets me know how he is and makes sure to give him lots of love. She is great! I definitely trust her with my fur baby.”

“Excellent with our Luna. She was happy and this is her first time being away from us. Lorraine kept her near her until she felt comfortable. She was at home there in no time. Sent several pictures to let us know she was ok. We will definitely use her again.”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“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!”
“Always a pleasure and completely stress free to have Cyndi and her family take care of my Furbaby when I vacation. She is very flexible and takes the utmost care while my dog is in her care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Janelly was very communicative and responsive with me during Asher & Sweetie’s stay with her. They both came home healthy and happy! We will definitely try to have them stay with Janelly next time we can take them with us”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾❤️”
“Ashley made my dog feel very much at home during his 2-week stay. She sent me photos and updates. Her own pets are very easygoing so my dog fit right in. I would recommend her highly!”
“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!”
“The extensive love and care this woman gave my puppy was beyond remarkable. I will not let anyone else watch my puppy again. I couldnt have asked for a better transaction, sitter, and new family friend!”
“Kailyn was amazing with our Ari! We got daily updates and she really kept Ari engaged during her stay while we were gone for Europe. Our dog Ari loved all the company she had at Kailyn’s home that she didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Kailyn!”
“Kim has a way with animals that puts them at ease. She was great with Sadie who can be standoffish and nervous with new people. Drop off and pick up were very easy. She was so kind to accept my last minute booking when another sitter had to cancel. Will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“I had to leave town due to a emergency and Brenda took my dog and made her feel right at home during her stay. Not only did she update me consistently but she also took photos to show me how happy she was! She actually spent time with my dog, getting to know every little detail so she could learn her effectively. She gave my dog (ginger) the love and respect she needed. I would go back to Brenda 10/10 times, you won't find a more caring attentive person!”
“Absolutely amazing! Brianna was so thorough, kind and loving to my Maddie while I was gone. She has great knowledge of dogs, she managed her diabetes and insulin perfectly. She kept me in the loop. Her pups loved Maddie as well! Maddie was happy, healthy and well taken care of then entire time! We definitely have our permanent Rover sitter”
“He took really good care of our babies and sent us updates and pics to keep us at ease. He was especially good with our tiny little puppy! They definitely played hard and needed a bath when they came home! Lol!:”
“Amazing sitters. I’ve been in a bind the past month and they took my Charlie Bear in last minute with no issues. I receive daily video/photo updates about him and he looks so happy and healthy. Highly recommended!!!”
