Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gainesville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gainesville
“Our Winston loved his time with Kent and his family. He was treated like one of the family. Several updated to keep us from worrying about our boy also. Highly recommend!!”
“I have so many AMAZING things to say about Melissa and Roy!! First off, they are super communicative and quick with responses which put me at ease. From the meet and greet, all the way to pick up, they stayed communicating and sending pictures of our precious pup. During the stay, Melissa ended up needing to take our dog to the vet and was super nice and thoughtful with the entire process. They kept me updated all week long and I just know our pup enjoyed his time with them. They are some of the nicest and more caring people in the world and I know they took the absolute best care of our dog. To be honest, I dont think he wanted to leave because I know he enjoyed all the play time and yard for his walks. I cannot thank you both enough for loving on Pilot like we do and all the play time his heart desired. I trust these two with our dogs life and will certainly be using them again for pet sitting!!”
“Jessica was amazing taking care of Mele! Jessica was super communicative throughout the whole reservation and thoughtfully sent pictures along the way. We had full confidence Mele was well taken care of and loved during her stay. Highly recommend Jessica and will be booking with her next time!”
“Key is awesome! She was able to accommodate last minute. My pup is well taken care of. This is the second time I've had Kelly watch her and will continue to use her in the future. Kelly takes great care and sends me pictures daily. I will definitely be using Kelly again in the future!”
“I’ve never felt more comfortable in leaving my boy with another family or dog boarding location. Ozzie has a great time every time he’s with this family! Mr Andrew and family does a wonderful job with my little guy and we couldn’t be happier with the services provided! Outstanding experience each and every time!”
“Kelli was great. Painless experience. She kept us informed with videos every day or two and I was never worried about anything. I'd have no reservations about using her services again.”
About: I grew up on a farm helping with animals often. I've always owned dogs and cats. I was a vet tech for 3 years. I have a dog door (it can be secured) and automatic waterer for your pet's convenience. I installed a metal gate to keep my runners from escaping out the front door. I am trained to give shots for the elderly family members. The days I work outside the house, I can meet you at 6:15 pm or later. I feed the dogs twice daily, but biscuits often. I am a homebody and I'm usually home all weekend. Your fur babies will be well loved. I have a 6-foot privacy fence, gate for the front door, dog door and an automatic water feeder. They are like family and can explore all they want. Please let me know in advance if a pet likes to lift his leg inside the house. I can provide doggy diapers.
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and loving home where pets feel comfortable and owners have complete peace of mind while they’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their preferences, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy who needs patience and consistency, an adult who loves playtime and walks, or a senior who needs a slower pace and extra care, I’ll make sure they receive personalized attention. My home offers a comfortable, family-style environment rather than a kennel experience, with plenty of affection, supervised play, and opportunities to relax. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My focus is simple: making sure your pet feels safe, happy, loved, and excited to come back for their next stay. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine, and I schedule my days to ensure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I enjoy spending time at home, so dogs are rarely left alone for extended periods. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. I also believe consistency is important, so I do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys active play or prefers quiet cuddle time, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every stay as an opportunity to give them a safe, happy, and loving home away from home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions so I can provide care that’s as consistent as possible with what they’re used to. I supervise pets during playtime, monitor their behavior to help ensure they’re comfortable, and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Fresh water is always available, and I keep pet areas clean and secure. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect both your home and your pet’s routine by following your instructions carefully, maintaining their schedule, and providing updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Silvana & Diego treated our Nala so well!! Nala is our 9 year old dog and she is sometimes very anxious but she had a great time with them!!

Definitely booking with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of her 😊”

“Where do I even begin Charlotte had an amazing time at Alexandra’s home. She took such good care of her. She kept me updated daily with photos and updates on how Charlotte was doing. Charlotte also got along with her sweet dogs. She came back happy and tired which indicates to me she had a blast! Thanks Alexandra for everything! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Great pup sitters! My dogs came back so happy and overjoyed. Yvette gave me great updates to overcome some of my worries leaving them behind. You can tell that she and her husband really love dogs and they were in great hands! I would definitely recommend!”

About: Cats have been a part of my life from my earliest days, living on a farm. I've cared for many varieties and temperments, from Maine Coon to Calico, from timid and shy to mean and aggressive. They are a Critter that requires understanding and their own space. I'm cool with that.

We especially appreciated the photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
About: Not only do I currently own 3 cats myself (Theo is in my profile picture with me), but I have 3 years of experience in an animal shelter where I was tasked with caring for upwards of 50 to 60 cats at once. Because of this, I have extensive experience caring for cats with behavioural issues, be that antisocial or aggressive, as well as aging cats who may need medication administered or other kinds of extra care. Basically, I have a strong stomach and no hard feelings towards being ignored or hissed at.
“This is Tania’s third time watching our dogs. She has dog sat for my Great Danes twice before, which is amazing in itself, but this time I added my two small dogs and she did great. Tania is super kind and follows direction so well. I will absolutely continue using Tania as my dog sitter! She’s the best.”

About: I understand that cats thrive in their own space, so I provide calm, low-stress visits tailored to their personality- whether they’re playful, shy or independent. I’ll handle feeding, litter care, and give them the right amount of attention (on their own terms!). You’ll get dependable updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Katie was absolutely amazing with my shy cat! I never had to worry once while I was gone. Katie kept me beyond informed with every visit. Would highly recommend. Only want to book with her!”
About: I have a gentle and loving spirit. I accept all animals into my world. The more the better! I have a lot of love to give. I work part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with all the pets. I love being outside and going for walks and spending time with animals as much as I can. Whenever I'm with any pets, they have my full attention and care. I'm happy to sit with pets as long as needed and give them the love and care.
“Shaina was excellent!! She was so kind and friendly at our meet and greet. She ensured she understood the pet care instructions. She was reliable and arrived as expected. She played with my kitten and had great communication through out our trip. My old grumpy cat warmed up to her immediately and he doesn't like anyone. We will definitely have Shaina back. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have been pet sitting for family friends since I was 10 years old. I love getting to spend time with dogs and I will make sure that they get the same care and attention as if they were my own. I’m currently a student and looking for an extra way to earn cash for the summer so my schedule is open! I will be out of town June 9-30. I am currently not accepting pets in my apartment because there is a no pet policy. I’m looking into changing this, but for the meantime I can’t have pets in my apartment.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gainesville
About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.

About: I grew up with one dog in my house and have house/pet sit for family and friends. When I was getting my degree I worked at PetSmart in the Doggie Day Care. I’m a teacher and home more in the summer! I’m a teacher and usually leave my house by 7:30 am and return no later than 4:45 pm. Growing up my family’s dog’s routine was to be walked and fed twice a day. When it was hot outside the routine changed with him having a bathroom break and then walked later that evening. I have experience in providing medication. I have a fenced in yard for your dog(s) to run around, sidewalks in my neighborhood to walk, and room to crate your dog(s) if thats what they need to feel comfortable. I currently don’t have a dog so they would have all the pets and snuggles!
“Jessica was amazing!!! She treated Zazu as her own!! He was so happy at pick up and now warn out from playing with her very friendly Boxer and daughters all day!!

About: I have 3 years of experience working in an animal shelter, where I was lucky enough to care for animals of all kinds. I am familiar with the necessary care needed for pets of all ages, from baby to senior. I am practiced in giving medication and basic grooming/ maintenance, as well as having worked with trainers in the past though I am not credentialed. Due to my history, I am also experienced working with animals with behavioural issues and am not intimidated by the size of a pet. I am currently between jobs and, therefore, am able to move around my schedule at will. I have a reliable form of transportation that allows me to be wherever you need me to be when you need me to be there. My apartment is not large enough, nor would the complex allow me to, house animals not already on my lease, but I am physically capable of taking dogs out multiple times per day on walks (duration depends on the heat). I play with my own animals multiple times a day for at least 20 minutes each, so rest assured your cats will also get the exercise they deserve. I will go above and beyond for your pets simply because I believe they deserve it.
About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors, family, and friends since 2014, most often as a sitting while the owners are out of town.

I am available to stay overnight as well. I love caring for my pet Rex. I love to give him treats, toys, take him on walks, etc. Anything to keep him feeling engaged and enriched. I am very mindful of his behavior and have learned what he needs based on how he acts. I will pay this much attention to detail with your pets!
About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds ranging from Labradors to German Shorthairs and Mastiffs to Miniature American Shepherds. No matter the size, energy level, or special needs you can trust your pet to me. I personally have bred, whelped, and raised two litters of puppies. I am confident in assisting in any potty training of puppies as well. Additionally, having three dogs of my own I know how difficult it can be to leave your dogs in someone else's care. I am very engaged with you during anytime I'm with your dog so you know how they're doing. I work remote and my schedule is very flexible. For the most part I have the ability to set my own schedule. The biggest benefit to me would be to schedule your time with your pet in advance so that I'm able to block that time on my work schedule. I make sure that my pets and the pets that are entrusted into my care are comfortable and content. In order to achieve this I use a variety of tools and tricks such as calm exercise, interactive play, and enrichment activities. I give as much love and attention as they desire without overstimulating or stressing them out. I pay close attention to any indications of stress or other ailments and keep the owners aware of all potential challenges.

“I have so many AMAZING things to say about Melissa and Roy!! First off, they are super communicative and quick with responses which put me at ease. From the meet and greet, all the way to pick up, they stayed communicating and sending pictures of our precious pup. During the stay, Melissa ended up needing to take our dog to the vet and was super nice and thoughtful with the entire process. They kept me updated all week long and I just know our pup enjoyed his time with them. They are some of the nicest and more caring people in the world and I know they took the absolute best care of our dog. To be honest, I dont think he wanted to leave because I know he enjoyed all the play time and yard for his walks. I cannot thank you both enough for loving on Pilot like we do and all the play time his heart desired. I trust these two with our dogs life and will certainly be using them again for pet sitting!!”
“Jessica was amazing taking care of Mele! Jessica was super communicative throughout the whole reservation and thoughtfully sent pictures along the way. We had full confidence Mele was well taken care of and loved during her stay. Highly recommend Jessica and will be booking with her next time!”
“Key is awesome! She was able to accommodate last minute. My pup is well taken care of. This is the second time I've had Kelly watch her and will continue to use her in the future. Kelly takes great care and sends me pictures daily. I will definitely be using Kelly again in the future!”
“I’ve never felt more comfortable in leaving my boy with another family or dog boarding location. Ozzie has a great time every time he’s with this family! Mr Andrew and family does a wonderful job with my little guy and we couldn’t be happier with the services provided! Outstanding experience each and every time!”
“Kelli was great. Painless experience. She kept us informed with videos every day or two and I was never worried about anything. I'd have no reservations about using her services again.”
About: I grew up on a farm helping with animals often. I've always owned dogs and cats. I was a vet tech for 3 years. I have a dog door (it can be secured) and automatic waterer for your pet's convenience. I installed a metal gate to keep my runners from escaping out the front door. I am trained to give shots for the elderly family members. The days I work outside the house, I can meet you at 6:15 pm or later. I feed the dogs twice daily, but biscuits often. I am a homebody and I'm usually home all weekend. Your fur babies will be well loved. I have a 6-foot privacy fence, gate for the front door, dog door and an automatic water feeder. They are like family and can explore all they want. Please let me know in advance if a pet likes to lift his leg inside the house. I can provide doggy diapers.
“Micki took great care of our two Corgis. We received regular updates and photos, and felt assured the dogs were in good hands. She was able to accommodate our request on pretty short notice, too. The dogs came home happy, healthy, and tired out from some good walks and playtime.”
“Great pup sitters! My dogs came back so happy and overjoyed. Yvette gave me great updates to overcome some of my worries leaving them behind. You can tell that she and her husband really love dogs and they were in great hands! I would definitely recommend!”

“We had a family emergency and Jennifer was able to step in and watch Finnegan for us. Once again he was well taken care of, and importantly, was excited when I dropped him off and happy when I picked him up. Jennifer is wonderful about staying in contact and I know I have quality care when needed.”
“Very pleasant couple. They took good care of Raksha, very communicative and sent photos from time to time. With many Rovers I had to ask for photos but Leslie sent photos without me asking. Also Raksha ate her food at her stay which is unusual for us. She was healthy and happy. Would definitely book them again.”

“My dog and cat loved Jaclyn, and I was so happy to not have to split them up and keep them apart, like I would have at a traditional boarding facility. My dog is hit or miss with other dogs, so I felt better that Jaclyn only takes one client at a time, and I know my dog liked getting all of her undivided attention! Lots of photo updates, so I could feel assured to see my pets settling in and getting comfortable. We will definitely be using Jaclyn again!”
“Catherine was great with Marley. She sent photos and updates several times during the week. She was even concerned about him being scared of the rain/ thunder and took extra care to make sure he felt safe and secure during the thunder storms. I will definitely use her again.”
“Annie and her family did an outstanding job with our dog Murphy while we were away! She sent me picture and video updates, took him on walks, played with him, and loved on him so well. She treated Murphy like her own, and we were comforted knowing he was in such great hands. We will absolutely use again Annie in the future!”
“Johanny S. did such a GREAT JOB with my dog Apache. She sent photos of my dog daily. When he was freaking out being in a Kennel/ Crate, and was scraping up his nose, she put antibacterial cream on his nose. She is very pleasant to talk to, communicate with. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their dog watched.”
“Achilles loves going to spend time with Sruthi! He gets loads of exercise and is very content when he gets home. I really appreciate getting consistent photo and video updates of what Achilles is up to. Sruthi is always our first choice!”
