Anas and Tate are so kind and welcomed my pup Lucy into their home for the weekend so graciously! I was given picture/video updates throughout my time away which made the experience even better. I so appreciate them for being flexible with my schedule affecting pick up/drop off times. I know Lucy loved getting to know Anas and Tate and I would love to book with them again in the future! 😊

I had to find a sitter unexpectedly during a trip because my original plan fell through. It was my first time being away from my dog, so I was really anxious. But Godness was so kind and responsive. She really helped ease my worries. She sent photos and videos every day, which made me feel reassured. I’m so grateful that she cared for Summer with so much love and attention. Sitters like Godness are truly rare. Thank you so much for everything!

Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!

About: I not only grew up around dogs, but I’ve worked in animal shelters and a pet resort, where I was responsible for the needs of dogs and cats. I earned 44 hours of volunteer work at the Humane Society in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., where I gave tours to potential dog owners. I worked at Pet Suites and LifeLine, where I ensured all pets received their food and/or medicine in a timely manner. I have fostered dogs for Angels Among Us and found homes for all of them. I also take an interest in dog training. I’m not a licensed trainer, but I enjoy teaching dogs manners and tricks. I currently work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, which means I have open availability in the mornings, evenings, and full availability on Fridays through Mondays. I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, care, and consistency they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with other dog neighbors. There’s a lot of grass surrounding the complex. While at work, I prefer letting dogs roam unless they need to be in a crate.

From the moment I met her, I had full confidence in Brenda because she told me that she wants to be a veterinarian!!! When I reunited with Kaussie, it was evident that Kaussie had already fallen in love with Brenda and her family due to the exceptional care he received. Also, Scooby played so well with Kaussie that I was overjoyed to see Kaussie make a new friend. Most of all, Brenda's backyard is incredibly spacious and securely fenced, so Kaussie might have been reluctant to come back to his home, lol. Choosing Brenda might have been a coincidence, but I truly believe it was the luckiest decision I made!

Madison was very professional, thorough, and is an obvious cat lover. My cat told me he liked Madison a great deal. She fed him (most important), played nicely with him (she let him “catch” the laser), and he said they had fun conversations. Due to this glowing report from my cat, I will certainly use Madison again.

This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat home alone for a long period of time. I was anxious and nervous, but thankfully Laura was the best! She was attentive and followed instructions clearly to take care of Thor. She made sure to always provide an in-depth description of each visit, along with pictures of him. I was so happy to receive each update and will for sure be booking Laura again in the future! If you need someone who’s attentive and follows your pet’s routine clearly, Laura is that person!!!

As a business owner in the boarding and dog industry myself, trusting someone to stay in my home and care for my dogs was a huge deal for me — especially since our dogs have quite a few senior and special-care needs. Jonathan absolutely exceeded every expectation. We are definitely “those” pet owners with a million instructions wanting everything done just right, and he handled all of it with patience, kindness, and professionalism. His communication was incredible. Any time I reached out, he responded within minutes, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s very rare to find people you genuinely trust with your home and your animals, but he made the entire experience stress-free. The dogs were well cared for, happy, and all of their special needs were accommodated without issue. Honestly, this experience changed things for us. For the first time, we actually feel like we can travel and enjoy vacations without worrying the entire time. We’re already planning our next trip knowing we have a person we can truly rely on. Highly, highly recommend Johnathan Absolute gems.

Paola watched my dog for two days while I was at work, and it was a great experience. On the second day I dropped Angel off, she ran to Paola and jumped up with joy, which said everything. Paola was responsive, reliable, and clearly caring. She also sent updates throughout the day, which put my mind at ease and let me know Angel was doing great.

About: Calm, attentive care tailored to your pet. ☀️ Summer Safety Advisory ☀️ Due to Florida’s extreme heat and humidity, dogs are at serious risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke in as little as 10–15 minutes of exertion during peak sun hours. Because of this, all walks during late spring through early fall may be shortened or adjusted for safety and replaced with enrichment-based activities, shaded sniff time, or indoor play when appropriate. Your dog’s health and comfort always come first. 🐾 Pet Care Experience I provide thoughtful, enrichment-focused care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is not just to “get through” a visit, but to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a background in wildlife sanctuary rehabilitation and have served as an adoptions director, which means I’ve worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications ( just not injections), managing multi-pet households, and supporting shy, anxious, senior, or special-needs pets. My approach to pet care is informed by ongoing education in dog behavior, body language, and force-free, reward-based training. I pay close attention to stress signals, pacing, and environment, and I adjust each visit accordingly. Whether your dog needs structured activity, calm companionship, or space to decompress, I aim to meet them where they are. 🦴 Bonus Enrichment Option I also manage one of Gainesville’s top-rated private Sniffspots, The Zoomie Zone, located in Midtown. This fully private, reservation-only yard is ideal for dogs who benefit from off-leash play without the pressure of public dog parks. Many clients choose to incorporate Sniffspot visits into walks or drop-ins as a way to provide safe zoomies, sniff-based enrichment, or low-distraction decompression time. If you’re interested in adding a Sniffspot visit to your booking, feel free to ask. Returning clients can also receive discount codes for independent bookings. Whether we’re heading out for a structured walk, enjoying shaded sniff time, or keeping things low-key indoors, I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care you can trust. 🗓️ Scheduling and booking process To make sure every booking is safe, smooth, and a good fit, I require a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet for all new clients. This takes place at the location where care will be provided and gives us a chance to review your pet’s routine, home setup, safety needs, and comfort level. **Meet and greet exceptions:** * Cats do not require a meet and greet unless there are medications, behavioral concerns, or a complicated home setup * Puppies under five months may be booked without a meet and greet when appropriate * Returning clients may fast-track future bookings Please schedule your meet and greet at least 72 hours before your first requested service so we have enough time to coordinate properly. After the initial meet and greet, you are all set for future bookings. If you move to a new home or apartment, you are welcome to schedule another visit so I can become familiar with the new layout, entry instructions, and pet-care setup. 🚶‍♀️ Dog walks and drop-ins I organize dog walks and cat drop-ins into efficient daily routes using flexible arrival windows. This helps reduce unnecessary travel time while still allowing me to provide thoughtful, attentive care during every visit. Dog-care windows: * Standard visits generally take place between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Morning visits may begin as early as 8:00 AM * Evening visits may be available for dogs who need additional flexibility **Cat-care windows:** * My preferred cat visit window is between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Visits requiring medication or strict timing will be scheduled around those needs whenever possible Dogs are generally prioritized earlier because of restroom needs, but every pet receives the same level of care, attention, and communication. 🐾 Premium boarding Boarding is a high-touch, in-home service for clients who want a fully hands-off experience while their dog is away. At this time, boarding is available only to dogs who already have an established walking, drop-in, or daycare relationship with me. This helps ensure your dog is already comfortable with me, my home, my routine, and my resident pets before an overnight stay. While boarding with me, your dog will: * Live inside my home as part of the household * Be my only boarding guest and receive individualized attention * Receive daily enrichment, engagement, and structured downtime * Enjoy supervised access to my private Sniffspot for play, sniffing, and decompression * Follow a routine tailored to their age, energy level, temperament, and physical needs Enrichment may include: * Frozen meals or food puzzles using West Paw Toppls * Sniff-based games, treat hunts, and low-pressure training activities * Nature walks or hikes at San Felasco when weather permits * Visits to quiet recreational fields when no other animals are present * Indoor play and low-impact enrichment during extreme heat or storms Most dogs return home happy, fulfilled, and very ready for a nap. 🚨 Boarding behavior and safety expectations The safety and comfort of my resident pets are a top priority. Dogs boarding with me must be safe around cats and respectful toward my personal dog. Dogs showing aggression, predatory behavior, severe resource guarding, or repeated unsafe behavior toward resident animals may not be eligible for boarding. If a boarding stay must be ended for safety reasons, care may be converted to drop-in visits at your home for feeding, potty breaks, and companionship whenever possible. 🚗 Premium pick-up and drop-off For added convenience, I offer pet transportation as an optional add-on. I can personally pick up or return your dog along my existing daily route, allowing you to leave your dog comfortably at home without coordinating an in-person handoff. This service is priced accordingly to reflect the additional time, travel, and personalized care involved. ⛔ Important booking policies * One complimentary meet and greet is included for new clients * Additional meetings should be booked as a walk or drop-in to cover time and travel * Every pet receiving care must be listed on the Rover booking * Bookings should be confirmed within 48 hours of the meet and greet or the requested time may be released * House-sitting and drop-in bookings follow a seven-day cancellation policy * Availability is not guaranteed until a booking has been formally confirmed by you. through Rover. If you have questions, a complicated schedule, or a pet with unusual care needs, I am always happy to talk through the details before booking. Care philosophy and communication: In my home, pets and plants are family, and every animal in my care is treated with the same level of respect, attention, and consideration I give my own. I understand that every pet has an individual personality and different needs. Some thrive on companionship, while others prefer play, structure, quiet encouragement, or simply having a calm person nearby. My goal is to be a steady, reassuring presence your pet can rely on while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their own home or taking them on an enrichment field trip to The Zoomie Zone, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. During each visit, you’ll receive a detailed Rover Card with notes about meals, potty breaks, mood, activities, and anything noteworthy from our time together. If your pet gives me an especially great photo opportunity, I may also send along a favorite edited image. Unless something genuinely requires your attention, I will not interrupt your vacation, work trip, or conference. My goal is to be both your pet’s advocate and your peace of mind while you’re away. 🚨 Safety and stress policy Safety is always my top priority, both for your pet and for me. If a pet displays aggression, extreme fear, severe anxiety, or behavior that makes a visit unsafe, I will still make every reasonable effort to ensure their essential needs are met, including food, water, medication when safely possible, and potty access. However, I may modify or shorten the visit if continuing would increase stress or create a risk of injury. This is never done as punishment. It is a safety decision intended to prevent escalation and protect everyone involved. Any significant concerns will be clearly documented and communicated to you. 🛏️ Crate or confinement requirement for boarding For boarding stays, dogs must be comfortable resting safely in a crate, exercise pen, gated room, or behind another secure household barrier. This is a firm boarding requirement. At night, during meals when separation is needed, and anytime dogs cannot be directly supervised, boarding guests will be safely confined. This gives every animal appropriate space to rest and ensures all pets remain secure while I am sleeping, showering, completing household tasks, or briefly away from home. Crates and gated spaces are always used as calm, neutral resting areas, never as punishment. If your dog normally uses a crate, pen, gated room, or another confinement routine at home, please share the details with me so I can keep their stay as familiar and low-stress as possible. Dogs do not need to love being crated, but they must be able to tolerate safe confinement without panicking, attempting to escape, or injuring themselves. If your dog is not currently comfortable with any form of secure separation, boarding may not be the right fit at this time. In that case, drop-in care in their own home may be a safer and more comfortable alternative. This is non-negotiable.

I’m not working right now so I have full availability and access to my schedule. My time and hours are flexible. I have plenty of time and energy to pet sit. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly and can take as many walks as needed and offer a lot of time spent at home with your pet.

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.

I work at Shands in the emergency room but have enough space for a safe pen when I’m away. I have a small dog park in my complex that I take my dogs to in the evening. I have 2 dogs that are friendly and enjoy making new friends. I also keep dogs separate when I am not home. We like to go to the dog park in the evenings when it’s not so hot

About: I’ve had family dogs since I was 7 years old, so I understand the daily care, attention, and responsibility that comes with having a furry family member. Now that I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours and give them plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’m a college student studying online with a flexible schedule. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment in a walkable neighborhood and close to a dog park, making it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. Because of my apartment size, I focus on caring for small dogs so that I can provide a comfortable and safe environment for every pet in my care. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re being well cared for. As a college student with a flexible online schedule, I spend much of my day at home and can provide regular supervision, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I enjoy having pets around and can easily incorporate their routine into my daily schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I carefully follow feeding and care instructions, monitor pets throughout their stay, and maintain a consistent routine to help reduce stress and ensure they receive the attention they deserve. I am also happy to send regular photo and message updates throughout your dog’s stay so you can share in the fun and have peace of mind while you’re away.

Although Puddin is 7 years old, this was her first time ever of being cared for in someone else’s home. We have always before had a house sitter in our absence. Nina went above and beyond expectations, picking up Puddin at my office once…and keeping her very late twice when I had after-work meetings. Her communication was excellent and Puddin was happy to see her each time. This was a good experience and I am grateful for how flexible and gracious Nina was for what was needed to make Puddin feel secure and my wife and I feel confident in Puddin’s care during a week when my wife needed to be away at a conference. Thank you, Nina!

I would love to take in your cute pups even if they are not potty trained; I have experience and am willing to help potty train or any other forms of training you would like your pup to continue while you are away. I am also willing to administer any medications your dog needs during his/her stay. I am here to make your life easier and give your dog the best experience possible!

The nice lady came over with treats and took us outside. It was raining. We didn’t get to play in the mud. When we came back inside she dried us off. It was like a massage. Then the nice lady played with us and our toys. She took all these pictures of us for our moms to see. We know our moms are so happy we are well taken care of.

About: Hi! My name is Isabel, and I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Florida. Before veterinary school, I worked as a small, equine, and exotic animal veterinary technician. I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. With my veterinary background, I am comfortable caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets with medical needs. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, so I do my best to make you and your pet comfortable from the start. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers the couch, I am happy to adapt to their needs and routines. I also prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am currently working part-time in the mornings, so I have plenty of time to check in on your pets in the afternoons and evenings! I care for pets in their home by prioritizing consistency and individualized care. I know pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine (feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, etc). I also take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs to make them feel most comfortable. I treat every client’s home with respect by keeping things clean, following all care instructions, and providing regular updates. With my veterinary background, I am also comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or wellbeing.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, including having had cats, dogs, fish, and as a pet. I am familiar with caring for older animals that have lost the ability to fully care for themselves, caring for puppies or kittens, and pets with disabilities (blind, or sick etc.). So I am qualified to care for a pet at any age and just about any level of health! I work my own hours at my job and I have no scheduled weekly activities so I am free to come by and help at almost any day/time! I care for my cat at home by spending time with her playing and cuddling when I am free, letting her curl up with me in bed, and having her sit with me while I cook or do homework! In a client's home I would be interacting with the pets, feeding them, walking them to give them good exercise (for applicable pets), giving them cuddles and love, and providing a safe, clean space for them!

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, including Great Danes, Huskies, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and Blue Heelers. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Over the years, friends and coworkers have trusted me to help care for their pups, whether that means walking, bathing, providing a safe and fun place to spend the day, or simply giving them the attention and exercise they need. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also have experience with essential training and care routines, including potty training, basic obedience, and crate training. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure each pup feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a reliable walker, a playful companion, or a calm and structured environment, I’m here to help! I work from home and create my own schedule, which gives me a great deal of flexibility and reliability when it comes to caring for your fur babies. My availability is generally very open, and I’m always happy to stay in full communication—providing updates, answering questions, or checking in whenever you need. I do have two kids who are active in sports, so there may occasionally be a soccer game on the weekend or a practice during the week. That said, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure the pets in my care always receive the attention and consistency they deserve. If you happen to see limited availability on certain dates, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly. I’m often able to adjust my schedule or make accommodations to help meet your needs! Your pup will feel right at home here! We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, as well as kennels/crates available if needed to match your dog’s routine and comfort level. We also have two playful and friendly dogs who are great with both kids and other pups. They love making new friends, whether that means running around the yard, playing together, or relaxing inside. (And yes—zoomies around the house do happen from time to time!) Of course, any interaction with our dogs is always based on your comfort level and your pet’s needs. Our home is a loving, relaxed environment where dogs are treated like family. They’re welcome to snuggle on the couch, get plenty of exercise, and enjoy a consistent routine. Feedings are typically twice a day, with the occasional well-earned treat. While your pet is in my care, I’ll stay in close communication with you—sharing updates, photos, and reassurance so you always know your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Hannah pulled through with a last minute visit for me! We even had gate and door troubles while I was at work and she waited extra time for my reply to troubleshoot. Super grateful! Hope to use her again in the future!

About: I will walk, play with, and even provide your dog enrichment! I am patient and understand what animals need when their owners are away. Contact me for more details! My schedule is flexible, and varied. I love getting to visit pups and kitties in the middle of the day, when their owners are working hard in the office. I am happy to work with you to make you and your pets comfortable. I am comfortable taking dogs out on longer walks, or visiting them and providing them with fun in your home.

Anas and Tate are so kind and welcomed my pup Lucy into their home for the weekend so graciously! I was given picture/video updates throughout my time away which made the experience even better. I so appreciate them for being flexible with my schedule affecting pick up/drop off times. I know Lucy loved getting to know Anas and Tate and I would love to book with them again in the future! 😊

Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!

About: I not only grew up around dogs, but I’ve worked in animal shelters and a pet resort, where I was responsible for the needs of dogs and cats. I earned 44 hours of volunteer work at the Humane Society in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., where I gave tours to potential dog owners. I worked at Pet Suites and LifeLine, where I ensured all pets received their food and/or medicine in a timely manner. I have fostered dogs for Angels Among Us and found homes for all of them. I also take an interest in dog training. I’m not a licensed trainer, but I enjoy teaching dogs manners and tricks. I currently work part-time Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, which means I have open availability in the mornings, evenings, and full availability on Fridays through Mondays. I’m very organized and plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, care, and consistency they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with other dog neighbors. There’s a lot of grass surrounding the complex. While at work, I prefer letting dogs roam unless they need to be in a crate.

I love the team up of Britney and Liyah in caring for our Luna. We always get an update through pictures, videos, and messages. We chat about her food and what to try to get her to eat. She gets along with their Luna, which I know our puppy enjoyed a lot. There is no doubt that they treated her like their own. I trust them and will definitely use them again.

Teagan was a wonderful host for my Five Year Old pups first time boarding. She helped me out in a last minute booking while we were at the hospital for a day. She went above and beyond for the care she gave my little one. I am very much thankful for Teagan, and if we have to ever again do an overnight stay or just a day visit to Shands again I will always seek Teagan out every time.

We had Terra watch our puppy Stella while we were at a family gathering. It was our first time leaving her since we’ve gotten her and I was so anxious. Terra made it so easy and made my anxiety go away! We were able to meet before I dropped Stella off so that Stella could meet her and make sure it was a good fit. When I dropped her off Stella was already so excited to play and I knew we picked the right lady! She sent me updates and pictures all day and it made being away so much better, I’m so grateful for Terra and will use her any and every time we have to leave Stella! Thank you times a million for everything!!!

About: I have had dogs most of my life that I helped take care. I ended up getting my own dog when I moved. I have my own place and love to have dogs stay while their parents are away. I work at Shands in the emergency room but have enough space for a safe pen when I’m away. I have a small dog park in my complex that I take my dogs to in the evening. I have 2 dogs that are friendly and enjoy making new friends. I also keep dogs separate when I am not home. We like to go to the dog park in the evenings when it’s not so hot

This was Mina’s first overnight stay away from home. Ana and her staff made it a very positive experience for Mina. I was impressed with the organization and commitment to quality care provided to our dog. Caregivers provided a warm caring environment and sent pictures and feedback during her stay. This eased my concerns for Mina during those days. The facilites are excellent. Mina got to play outdoors safely which she loves. Plenty of room to run around and enjoy the outdoor. Again, a big thank you to Ana and her team for a great stay.
