Zaneta had seen too many Florida families discover mold the hard way — after moving in, after health issues started, and after repair costs climbed into the tens of thousands.

Zaneta had seen too many Florida families discover mold the hard way — after moving in, after health issues started, and after repair costs climbed into the tens of thousands.
When she and her team first looked into the industry, they realized most inspections relied on guesswork: moisture meters, visible stains, or expensive lab testing that only worked in limited spots. Homeowners were left with uncertainty and risk.
That’s when Zaneta learned about Bill Whitstine, the pioneer in training detection dogs for mold. His methods had already transformed how fire and police K9s were trained. If dogs could find explosives, drugs, and missing people, why not mold?
The idea clicked. Families needed a faster, more accurate, and more affordable way to find mold before it ruined their health or their investment.
Zaneta traveled, researched, and trained until she was ready to launch Mold Hunt LLC in Florida. The heart of her mission became Indy — a black Labrador trained by Whitstine himself. With a nose thousands of times more sensitive than any machine, Indy can pinpoint hidden mold in walls, cabinets, attics, or anywhere spores might grow.
From day one, Zaneta built Mold Hunt on more than just detection: she built it on trust. She made sure clients didn’t just leave with a list of problems, but also with clear next steps, connections to trusted remediation partners, and the peace of mind that someone was on their side.
Today, Mold Hunt protects homeowners, real estate buyers, and agents across Florida. But at its core, it’s still about the reason Zaneta started it:
to make sure no one has to face the stress and cost of hidden mold alone.

Indy is not just any black Labrador — he’s the heart of Mold Hunt. Trained by Bill Whitstine, the pioneer of canine mold detection, Indy’s nose can detect what no machine or human eye can find: hidden mold growing behind walls, under cabinets, in attics, or anywhere moisture has left its mark.

Indy is not just any black Labrador — he’s the heart of Mold Hunt. Trained by Bill Whitstine, the pioneer of canine mold detection, Indy’s nose can detect what no machine or human eye can find: hidden mold growing behind walls, under cabinets, in attics, or anywhere moisture has left its mark.
Before becoming part of Mold Hunt, Indy went through months of rigorous training. Each alert had to be precise, reliable, and repeatable. His ability to sit and signal when he detects even the faintest trace of mold spores is the result of countless hours of practice, patience, and trust built between him and Zaneta.
Indy’s work is more than a job — it’s a mission. Every inspection means protecting a family’s health, a buyer’s investment, or a realtor’s reputation. Indy doesn’t see contracts or price tags; he simply follows his nose, determined to help uncover what’s hidden.
Clients often say Indy feels like part of their family during an inspection. He moves carefully through rooms, focused and determined, but his wagging tail reminds everyone that he’s more than a working dog — he’s a loyal partner.
Today, Indy is the trusted mold detection dog across Florida. His story is simple: with his nose and Zaneta’s vision, he helps people avoid the heartbreak of hidden mold and ensures homes remain safe places to live.
