About: UPDATE: looking for new clients in our neighborhood in Holland! About me: I grew up always with dogs and cats. I currently have cats and a german shepherd dog! While in high school I attended a small animal science program for 2 years and we had our own grooming business running for dogs. In the program I worked with the smallest dogs to the largest canines; walked them, bathed them and groomed them. I love walking dogs and will make sure your dog gets a great walk. This is a full time job for me as it brings me immense happiness! I also have experience with most small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, bearded dragons, rats, gerbils and mice from my time in small animal science in school. I also have comfortablilty with farm animals as well as I've watched a few flocks of chickens.

Give me as clear as instructions as possible and watch them thoroughly get followed; I honestly thrive on instructions! Expect questions from me!! At the moment I am limiting how many clients I can take at once. Always reach out and ask; I always try to response as soon as I can! I don't currently have the ability to have clients in my home but I absolutely love taking care of them in their homes. I'm extremely professional and cautious; I do everything possible to keep your pet and property safe. I take the time very seriously so the clock starts the moment I have the animal and I sprinkle love into every free moment.
“Jackie was wonderful. This was my first time leaving Chance with someone on Rover so I was nervous but Jackie was very welcoming during our meet & greet which made me feel more comfortable with leaving him.

Cat caregivers near you - Gainesville
About: Always had pets (cats, dogs, rodents) growing up, one year of horse barn experience and dog training apprenticehood at Summit K9 in Rochester NY! My dog training consisted of... - consistent feedback from two licensed trainers - leash walking skills - reactivity reduction (barking at other dogs, the door, people) - managing doggy daycare including half a day of one on one training and half a day of social groups - creating groups, managing consistent training across multiple employees - assessing the training and social level of any particular dog - crating skills - taking crate sensitive/aggressive dogs in and out of crates - walking people sensitive/stranger aggressive dogs - teaching cue recognition (place, sit, down, yes, no) - caring for boarding dog's needs - walking multiple dogs at once, training dogs to walk together With cats I am comfortable and knowledgeable about... - providing appropriate play - basic training using food incentive and luring - picking up a cat appropriately by supporting the spine and reducing tension on the scruff - responding to stomach issues and puke - reading body language for anxiety and aggression With horses I am familiar and comfortable with all daily care including stable cleaning and fetching skiddish horses from pasture. As for my pets.. My first cat was a stray found at 4 weeks that I learned how to teach to groom and care for himself. I also know how to manage ear mites, or any other kind of skin or tick care. Our dog was a breeder who also has needed a lot of specialized care. I am most experienced with rodents (have owned over 8 rats, 4 guinea pigs and a rabbit)! I've never personally owned a bird or a lizard, but have cared for friends and I always commit to accurate research. If you have any questions or worries regarding my experience and competency I would love to hear from you! I am very available right now, and I intend to make pet care my biggest priority. I am happy to discuss all kinds of scheduling. I love going above and beyond for my pets. Our cats are indoor and outdoor but I am always checking on them and keep a consistent feeding schedule to prevent overeating (they have sensitive stomachs). Our dog is also very needy, as she has some anxiety from her last owner so she needs to always be accompanied while outside and will not do certain things alone. I keep my rats in my room where they get frequent engagement with the whole family, and I enjoy making homemade puzzles and toys for them. Overall, all of our animals live active, healthy lives!

About: I have taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I even raised my own cat from hours old, up all night bottle feeding and doing all the things that's required to keep a kitten alive. I would treat your cat like it's my own.
“Mickey did a great job with our cat Rocky. She checked in often as we requested and included photos and videos. She also took great care in keeping our bird feeders filled as well as checking on and feeding a stray cat that we've helping. Like us it's obvious that Mickey is a true animal and nature lover. Also, as an overnighter she left our home neat and tidy.She's an ideal sitter for us and now a friend as well.”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From our first message, she was professional and easy to communicate with—always providing updates and photos so I knew my dog was happy and safe. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for pup and a tidy house. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I would 100% recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gainesville

I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door.

“Abigail is wonder. She has worked with our pup Oakley and within 2 training sessions she’s acting like a different dog. I highly recommend Abigail to anyone that is reluctant on leaving their pup anywhere, she’s the best.”
About: Albeit having no years of 'professional' caring, I have been a dog and cat mom all of my life. Since I was born my family has had 2-3 dogs and 5-6 cats at a time on our farm, and I raised, trained and took care of all of them myself since my parents were not too big on animals. The sole reason we had so many is because we lived on a farm and I adored them. Every year of my life I have cared for at least one animal or another, ever since I was in grade school. For cats and dogs alike, I myself used to bathe them, feed them, groom them and take them to the vet if they were sick. As of right now, I have no animals to look after, so I would love to put those skills to good use. This being said, I have ample experience with animals, and I adore them. I have babysat animals for my friends several times, always without incident. I understand their signs and needs, have plenty of patience and can be gentle but firm when needed. I treat them as if they were my own children. I am also a trained emergency service medical provider, so I know how to perform first aid and lifesaving measures if need be (not that it will ever be needed, don't worry!). I am flexible with the services I provide: if your pet has any special needs/medications that they need to take/any sicknesses, or anything else, inform me and I will be happy to babysit for them and care for them for as long as you need! Some of the services I can provide include but are not limited to: bathing, walking, training, and cuddling! I will treat your babies with love and kindness while you're away! Rest assured, they will be in good, trained hands. I currently work from home, and would have no problem going on walks or playing games such as fetch to tire out high energy dogs! I already have a daily routine with my own dog, which consists of taking him on regular potty breaks, brushing his teeth, and playing games to tire him out if its too cold to go on walks outside! We have a yard thats not fenced in, but have lines and long leashes to take your fur baby outside! There is one senior dog, one younger dog, and to cats all to give company to your pet! Both dogs are very friendly, and the cats mostly keep to themselves in the room. The dogs will always be in my sight, so that we can hang out, play, and I can tend to their needs! There are plenty of toys to share, plenty of treats to go around (unless stated otherwise) and plenty of friends to play with.
“I highly recommend Joah & Kelly! They were very aware and responsive to Rosie, provide a lot of support during her first day. I really appreciated the pics 📸 they sent throughout the day, too. It was reassuring to see Rosie happy & comfortable.”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a young child. Neighbors, family and friends have all asked me to pet sit! I now have a 2 year old rescue name Genny! She is very sweet, a big girl at 95lbs but extremely submissive in all situations! She would love a play mate and extra walks! Work from home M-F. On my lunch we always take a walk usually about 2 miles and Genny get plenty of potty breaks and outdoors time! I can follow any type of specific feeding plan and can ensure walks and outdoor time are a focus! I love dogs and would want to make sure your pet was taken care of they way I would want Genny to be!
“Mary and her family are absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Scout! She communicates and sends me pictures throughout the day and after only one day of daycare, the next time he saw her he was SO excited!! Her sweet dog, Maggie, has taken Scout under her wing and is so good with him. I cannot say enough good things! I feel like we hit the lottery by finding Mary to care for our sweet boy when we are at work. He leaves ever day happy and exhausted!”
“Would definitely leave Rex with Alyssa again. She worked with our schedule ( even as she was packing for a family trip the next day). When we arrived to pick Rex up, he was outside with Alyssa- looked very happy to be “helping” !”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Gainesville
About: I have owned animals my entire life from cats, lizards to dogs and horses. I worked at a kennel in my high school years taking care of dogs and assisting the owner in grooming. Going on from that I worked in a dog daycare alongside a fear free trainer whilst training my own dog, Lacey who is now 7, doing agility, obedience and other extensive training. Upon graduating I was given the opportunity to train and work alongside a groomer in her own shop, while I did my time with her we also attended groom expo where I took numerous classes including fear free grooming, control and handling, and creative grooming. Due to back issues I stepped away from the grooming scene and into ridding horses. I wonder my own horse for several years, I took a job opportunity with Letchworth Farms caring for both world class eventing horses as well as our trail horses. My time was ended there after a few years due to me becoming a mother to two beautiful kids and from time to time I have worked alongside a local cat shelter assisting in rescues and fostering and also helping foster and rescue dogs from time to time. I also have experience with caring for senior dogs with special needs. I have a very flexible working schedule to be able to accommodate your needs and your dogs at any time! I also am currently enrolled in Animal behavior and Canine training, a knowledgeable care giver is a great one! I am here for all your pet needs! I have one friendly cat who is vaccinated, fixed and is acclimated with dogs extremely well. I have a 7 year old fixed female who is good with other dogs and would rather spend her days lounging and relaxing.
About: I have a dog of my own, and two children. I'll treat your dogs as if they're my own. I'll tend to whatever needs your dog requires, such as the type of play they like, medications, treats, whatever it may be, I promise I can do. I've had a lot of experience with dogs. I have also worked in a boarding/daycare/grooming facility and have worked with up to 30 dogs at a time. I will not do overnights, though but I am willing to do a later shift. I do have animals of my own and a family to come home to. I will walk your dog and play with them when needed, mostly during the day, but like I said I am flexible. I'm a stay at home with the occasional job working at a school as a substitute, but my schedule is super flexible. I'd love to work with you so send me a message! I can easily crate your dogs if needed, as mine are when I'm away. My dog is high energy, so he's always needing attention and play, so I have no issues doing that either. As long as your dog(s) are friendly I'll be able to take care of, play with, and even walk your dog.

About: Experience & What Sets Me Apart I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing calm companionship. I also have basic dog training experience, including reinforcing simple commands, leash manners, and positive behavior using positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and responsible approach. I understand that every pet is different — some need active play, while others need a quiet and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust and help dogs feel confident and comfortable. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, pay close attention to routines and behavior, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!
“Alyssa did an amazing job watching our 2 doodles. They were in great care, and they loved being there for the night. She was super responsive and was willing to watch them on short notice. Totally recommend her!”
“Deborah and her family were amazing with our picky eater and senior dog Spirit. She went the extra mile and helped figure out different foods to get her eating better. The communication was was on point. We received photos, videos and quick responses. I can't thank Deborah enough for the amazing care she gave a sweet Spirit while we were away.”
About: Certified in pet first aid. Experienced in caring for diabetic dogs requiring blood sugar testing and insulin. Fantastic at understanding happy and unhappy canine behaviors. I am self-employed, so it is very easy for me to schedule around others schedules. I enjoy being home with my fur babies, so I always have availability. I have a big fenced in yard and I do not have any neighbors. My home is surrounded by woods. My small dogs are very happy to have playmates come over.
“I booked Alison at the last minute and she was very accommodating for my little boy, Beau. I was nervous but Beau fit right in with her fur babies, and she took great care of him. She sent pictures and responded to my messages in a timely manner. I will book with Alison again and highly recommend her services.”
About: UPDATE: looking for new clients in our neighborhood in Holland! About me: I grew up always with dogs and cats. I currently have cats and a german shepherd dog! While in high school I attended a small animal science program for 2 years and we had our own grooming business running for dogs. In the program I worked with the smallest dogs to the largest canines; walked them, bathed them and groomed them. I love walking dogs and will make sure your dog gets a great walk. This is a full time job for me as it brings me immense happiness! I also have experience with most small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, bearded dragons, rats, gerbils and mice from my time in small animal science in school. I also have comfortablilty with farm animals as well as I've watched a few flocks of chickens. I'm positive, honest and hardworking; your furbabies will always be my biggest priority while they're with me! Currently I'm taking as many clients as I can comfortably fit into my schedule. Please feel free to chat with me about your furbabies needs! I can easily handle anything your furbaby throws at me as well as you furparent! Give me as clear as instructions as possible and watch them thoroughly get followed; I honestly thrive on instructions! Expect questions from me!! At the moment I am limiting how many clients I can take at once. Always reach out and ask; I always try to response as soon as I can! I don't currently have the ability to have clients in my home but I absolutely love taking care of them in their homes. I'm extremely professional and cautious; I do everything possible to keep your pet and property safe. I take the time very seriously so the clock starts the moment I have the animal and I sprinkle love into every free moment.
“Jackie was wonderful. This was my first time leaving Chance with someone on Rover so I was nervous but Jackie was very welcoming during our meet & greet which made me feel more comfortable with leaving him. She sent me pictures with updates daily. I definitely recommend her & will use her in the future.”
About: I have had my own pets since I was 18yrs old. Large ones, small one all different personalities. For some reason animals love me as much as I love them. I enjoy forming that bond with them. I will treat your animals as if they are my own. I will respect you home as I expect mine too be treated. I used Rover in my home before I decided I wanted to take care of others animals. I expected no one to touch anything of mine unless it pertained to the animals. I currently work a fairly flexible job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have two of my own dogs so house sitting needs to be flexible I have a fairly large sized yard that your pups can run in. My two fur babies are very friendly and will gladly keep your pups company
