Dog Walking in Dixieland, Lakeland, FL

“Ruth is always quick to respond to my messages and is very reliable. She makes sure to keep my updated on my girl’s status when she walks her and always sends me pictures. She’s flexible and understanding as well. I’m very happy and lucky to have found her since I moved to a new area.”

“Ashley was absolutely great. This was my first time using this service and I was a nervous wreck to be honest. My baby is 11yrs old and has always stayed with family while I travel. It’s nice to know that I was able to trust her with my home and my baby and she was very welcoming. I will definitely be using her a lot more frequently.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.

“April is wonderful! All three of my fur babies took an immediate liking to her. My pup is a bit shy, but by day 2 was offering up her belly for rubs! She is our go to from here on out.”

“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”

About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.

“Kylee is awesome! I shopped around for a while and couldn't find the right match.My Sadie is very protective and she has been very sheltered so she doesn't care for too many people but she took to Kylie right away! she loves her! She is very prompt and very trustworthy ! She is capable of doing any type of service that you need! Even though I would like to keep her all to myself she could benefit other people as well! Highly recommended!”

About: I have not only owned dogs my whole life but i am in school to work with a variety of animals and have learned so much about different behaviors and caring for different breeds. I have worked in an animal hospital as well as volunteered at several shelters. I have waked neighbors dogs and stayed overnights at family friends to care for their pets for as long as i can remember and am no stranger to the importance of good communication with the owner when they are away from their beloved pet. I have an unusual schedule for work where i conduct data collection on a boat but when i am not at sea then i am able to help out with any pet care needs so just reach out and i can communicate my availability! Unfortunately i do not know far in advance when i will have to work for my job so it is hard to book out for pet care far in advanced. I have cared for many different breeds of dogs with a variety of energy levels and needs. My own huskies have taught me to be extra aware of my surroundings and where they are in relation to what is around as they would try to run off after wild animals and get themselves lost often when they were younger.

About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!

“Jon as been super professional and is great with our dog who is excitable and can be a handful.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, as well as growing up with my own bunch. I frequently take care of dogs when needed! I am able to stay overnight and take care of pets as well as frequently stopping in throughout my day to day and checking in on them! I make sure to keep track of the pets and make them feel as comfortable as possible while missing their owners! I make sure to play and cuddle as much as I can.

About: I have always been an animal lover and I’ve had dogs and other animals almost my entire life. I’ve personally had and cared for dogs of all sizes from a tiny teacup poodle (6lbs) to a huge labradane (125lbs) as well as all ages of dogs newborn-16 yo! I’m currently a student at Florida Southern College, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am also an Army ROTC cadet at Florida Southern, so walking my dogs and yours is a great way for me to stay active! Safety is always my #1 priority, I will always lookout for the wellbeing of your dog based on their specific needs. Each dog is unique and has their own routine which is important for me to follow to the best of my ability.

About: We're a couple who love animals of all shapes and sizes, especially cats and dogs! We have experience traveling around the U.S. as pet sitters, Megs currently works at SPCA Florida (an animal welfare nonprofit), and we have five incredible rescue cats of our own. We have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. We also are comfortable caring for cats with a variety of needs and set-ups. We truly just love animals and want the best for each and every one! Megs currently works part-time and LJ has a flexible work-from-home job, which leaves us plenty of room for snuggles and walks and any other kind of pet care! We prioritize the health and well-being of our own cats at home, ensuring they have an enriching environment, high-quality food, a consistent schedule, plenty of attention, and as much play and exercise as they could want. We would love being a part of doing the same for your pets whether that's through drop-in visits or walks!

“Thank you so much! Roxy is happy ?”
