Most trusted pet specialists in Gainesville FL
Hi, I’m Tony—founder of Pet Sitters of Gainesville—and proud pet parent just like you.
I started this journey 6 years ago with a simple truth in my heart: our pets are family, and when we can’t be with them, nothing matters more than knowing they’re safe, loved, and genuinely happy.
At Pet Sitters of Gainesville, we’re not just dog walkers or cat sitters—we’re a trusted team of trained professionals who treat your pets like our own. Our mission is to provide a truly premium experience that goes beyond just “letting the dog out” or “feeding the cat.” We offer reliable, personalized care tailored to your pet’s unique personality, needs, and routine—whether that means a high-energy dog who needs a structured walk or a shy cat who needs quiet companionship.
What sets us apart?
Reliable & consistent service – You can count on us to show up when we say we will, rain or shine.
Superior communication & support – You’re never left wondering. We send real-time updates, photos, and detailed visit reports after every visit. And We are always just a call or text away.
Unmatched expertise – Our team is carefully selected and thoroughly trained—not just for safety and pet handling, but to truly understand animal behavior and comfort.
A personal touch – We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. We take the time to get to know your pet and build trust, which is especially important for pets with anxiety, medical needs, or special routines.
Heartfelt community impact – With every visit, you’re also helping us support local rescues and animal shelters we partner with. Together, we’re making a difference.
Yes, we’re professionals—but we’re also humans who know how hard it can be to leave your best friend in someone else’s hands. That’s why we built a service centered on trust, transparency, and heart.
We’re honored to be a part of your pet’s life and can’t wait to welcome you to the PSOG family. Let us give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve—so you can enjoy peace of mind wherever you are.
With wagging tails and open heart,
Pet Sitters of Gainesville founder
