Meet Our Team
Elizabeth
Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I’m so happy to be a part of the Pet Sitters of Gainesville team! I’ve volunteered in animal shelters for 3 years, fostered young kittens, and supported friends and family with pet sitting. I’ve been pet sitting professionally for the last 5 years now, and nothing has been more fulfilling than pet care. I can’t wait to have the opportunity to meet your furry friend. I can guarantee that I will provide them with the same quality care I’d want my own pets to receive!
Daryl
Hi everyone! My name is Daryl. I grew up in West Palm Beach (Florida), and moved to Gainesville to pursue a degree in education at the University of Florida. I am happy to call Gainesville home. I have been pet sitting professionally for three years now. Coming from a family of 7, with dogs jumping around the house my entire life, dog sitting is a such a pleasure for me. Your pets will have so much fun with me, they will hardly notice the time passing that you’re away!
Tony
Hi! My name is Tony and I am the founder of Pet Sitters of Gainesville. Although I used to work in the corporate world for several years, my passion has always been pets! I quit the corporate world to follow my dream of owning a business dedicated to tending to the welfare of animals. People say I am a high energy, and I think that’s why I can keep up with even the most playful of pets! I can meet all the needs of your pets, whether they need scratches, snuggles, or soft walks. My schedule is flexible, so I am often available on short notice. I can’t wait to meet your pets!
Skie
Hi! My name is Skie, and I am thrilled to be part of the Pet Sitters of Gainesville team! I grew up in Bolivia, but have lived in Gainesville for the last 5 years. Before I became a pet sitter, I was a client. I was so impressed with the company and comforted by the care my dogs received, that I applied for the position. I love animals with all my heart, and it brings me joy to be a pet nanny.
