Emily was incredibly quick to respond, and she was energetic and polite with her communications while watching our pup. We felt like our dog was in good hands, and we won’t hesitate to book with Emily again!

Matt has taken care of our pups twice now and he has become our first choice when we need dog care. We have 2 big dogs that can be intimidating and a small dog that takes a while to warm up to new people. He handles them all well and they all like him including our small dog who lets Matt give him pets. He does a thorough job of reporting on the visit and the dogs’ activities. We love this, because our dogs are older and a couple of them have health issues.

Madison was so patient with my cat, Potter. He's a little shy but she gave him his space & he loves her! So thankful to trust someone so kind & thoughtful with Potter.

Emilie is communicative, professional, has a sweet personality and very easy to work with. She has watched my sweet older cats several times and I always feel very comfortable having her there while I’m away. My one cat is very shy and timid at first but she was patient with him and he’s coming around. My cats are so special to me and it’s great to have someone trustworthy and reliable care for them while I’m away. Thank you, Emilie! :)

Mona did such a wonderful job with our dog while we were gone. She wrote to us every day and sent pictures twice daily. She is positive, very reliable, professional and fun. We returned to a young dog who was calm, secure and well cared for after the longest stretch she had experienced away from her family ever. That is such a wonderful compliment to Mona's care and caring and we thank her so much.

Lani’s first walking session got a little complicated when my dog became protective right at the front door. I reviewed the front door ring footage out of curiosity & was shocked to hear the noises that came from my pooch. Lani was so patient & still continued with the walking session even after some scary snarling. Lani communicated what was happening from the very beginning & even feels comfortable to return for additional walks. She was very understanding of my anxious/scared doggo.

Alexandra is an amazing pet sitter! She recently looked after my cat while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a more caring and responsible caregiver. Not only did she ensure that my cat's basic needs were met, but since my cat is a very active kitty who needs a lot of attention, she also took the time to play with her and give her the attention she needed! She also made sure to keep me updated with very cute pictures of my cat when I was missing my cat most, and her communication was very consistent and reliable so I was never worried. I also trusted Alexandra to take care of my pet because of her various experience fostering animals in the past. I know that she has had experience fostering a variety of animals with different personalities and needs, and has provided a loving environment for all of them. She truly cares about these animals, and it really shows. I couldn't recommend anyone better to take care of your pets!

Maddy is our go to pet sitter when we are out of town! She truly cares about our dogs (and cats) and we know when they’re with her there’s nothing to worry about. From a short weekend to a week long vacation she is the person we call. Could not recommend her enough!

Amy is our "go to" #1 choice for our new puppy, Jac. She took great care of Charlee until he left us last year and we were so excited to let her know we had a new baby to help us with. If you're in the Gainesville area, I highly recommend Amy!!!

Danica was amazing! Our Eva was so happy and comfortable with her. She made extra effort to play with our girl and spend time with her! Danica sent the cutest photos and videos and updates. We feel very comfortable having her in our home while we are away! We are thrilled to have found such a caring, animal-loving, experienced caretaker for our girl! We will absolutely use Danica’s services again in the future and highly recommend her to take care of your pets!

We are so thankful that we found Bri to look after our fur babies when we went away for a few days recently. We have four cats, each with their own temperaments and personalities. It was obvious on our first visit that Bri has a lot of experience with cats. She knows just how to approach them and is very kind and caring. She did a wonderful job with handling our cat that is on medications, and sent us pictures and updates of all the cats at each visit. We felt at ease knowing our babies were in very good hands and had no worries at all. Thanks Bri!

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life, ranging from birds to dogs to cats. I have experience with animals of all sizes and ages, and am confident in my abilities to care for them to the fullest extent. I enjoy spending time with all types of breeds, and I have experience with different temperaments. I am well-aware of puppies lack of bladder/bowel control, and the need for many walks throughout the visit. I also have some experience in puppy training, from walking on a leash to common commands. I have a soft spot for senior animals, and I know how to make them feel special and as comfortable as possible. I will give your furry family members all the love they deserve. I am recently graduated from the University of Florida and have some extra time on my hands. I have a wide availability to care for any fur babies. I currently live with two cats, so I cannot offer in-home services. However, I will be very respectful of each clients homes, and make sure the animal is properly cared for depending on their needs. I will make sure to listen to your requests and follow them accordingly.
