House Sitting in Dixieland, Lakeland, FL

“Christian helped us last minute when we had a family day trip planned for months but one of our dogs had emergency knee surgery and all of a sudden couldn’t be left alone. He was incredible!! Kind, attentive, and followed all directions to a T! We will be using him again 100%!”

“Josh was FANTASTIC! Quick and clear communication when booking, even came for a meet and greet beforehand! Got pictures daily so we knew our pets were safe and happy - which is always a big relief when we have to travel. Our house was the same as we left it, clean! We'll definitely be booking with Josh again - it was well worth it!”

“Mandie is absolutely incredible. Not only does she treat your dog like her own, but she ensures they feel loved like you would yourself. This is the second time Mandie took care of our Bean and I think we found our dog sitter for life. She sends so many pictures and videos and Bean is always so happy when she comes over to see him — I mean really, he gets more excited for her to come over than when my husband and I come home 😅. Mandie is also just a joy of a person who is punctual, clean, flexible with our hectic schedules and we are always happy to have her sit at our house. Seriously don’t think twice, and book Mandie to watch your pup ASAP. You won’t regret it!”

“Megan took such good care of my fur babies! She sent pictures and kept me updated. Prior to leaving I mentioned one of my doggos had a bit of a rash and may need his cone, she notified me shortly after that she found a patch a poison ivy in my backyard! Would highly recommend!”

“Alison was prompt and went the extras for my animals. I got pictures and check ins. This was the first time the animals had been left with someone they didn’t know. They were happy to see me, but not crazed so I know they were fine. The animals donuts have been good as she said I can book her again!!!!”

“Our 2 dogs seemed very comfortable with Kenneth. He stayed at our house with them for a week and came back to healthy, happy dogs. (And our house seemed cleaner than when we left.) We would highly recommend him.”

“We are so thankful that we found DeDe! She has been awesome with our dog on daily checks and most recently a weekend stay! She is very caring and understands our need to have someone with him! She communicates often and therefore we do not worry at all when he is with her! I highly recommend DeDe!!”

“Alicia has been my go to for 3 years. My dog (huge german shepherd) loves her! She has really put all her love into my big teddy, he might prefer her over me lol! She will show your pets the same love and respect she’s shown to mine.”

“Sabrina is so sweet! I was kind of skeptical about having someone I didn’t know house/dogsit, but Sabrina made me feel super comfortable about the whole process. She sent pictures of our dog several times a day to put my mind at ease. Came back from our trip and our dog was safe & happy and the house was just like we left it. I highly recommend Sabrina!”

“Carmen went above and beyond to care for my kitty!!”

“Bryce has become an extension of our family. He sincerely cares about "Teddy", our goldendoodle, and Teddy absolutely loves Bryce! Bryce communicates clearly and we completely trust him in our home. Leaving Teddy in the care of Bryce brings peace to the entire family while we are away. Knowing Teddy maintains his daily routine while in the comfort of our home is wonderful. Oh, and the candid photos of Teddy, that Bryce shares while we are gone, are awesome! Thank you, Bryce!”

“Christina was great with our dog and cat. She kept to their schedules and stayed at our place for several nights. You couldn't even tell she had been here. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

“Sarah has taken care of our various dogs and cats for many years now when we are out of town. She is careful to follow our pet directions. The animals respond well to her and we always feel comfortable employing her. We will continue using Sarah as a pet sitter.”

“Absolutely fantastic!”

“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”

“Destiny is really great with our playful, lovable German Shepherd, Kira. Kira is a bit of a handful but Destiny is very patient and great with her. Kira loves her!”

“Marissa has been a second parent to my puppy, Barcelona(Barci). Barci is an energetic husky mix who wants a lot of attention. She has watched her for weeks at a time and I cannot speak highly enough of her care and love for dogs of all varieties!”

“Brianna is just amazing!!! She has stayed over with my dogs while I was out of town, and the dogs just love her!! She has become another family member to our dogs.”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter everywhere from remote islands to suburban neighborhoods. I love animals! It’s been such a joy to be a small part of caring for so many different breeds: American Bulldogs, Boxers, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Shih Tzus, Poodles, Rescued Mixed-Breeds and more! I have experience with caring for senior pets in need of specialized care and young pets requiring high levels of physical engagement. I’d love to partner with caring for your pet. I’m currently working as a part-time nanny, so I have ample space in my schedule to care for your pet’s needs. The longest shifts I have would be eight hours. I am careful to follow the instructions given by each pet owner. I do my best to integrate into the environment in a way that is familiar to each pet. I aim to be an extension of the family and make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I intuitively meet needs from feedings, walks, play time and cuddles and am very communicative with general updates as well as any concerns.

“Haleigh is such a caring & kind doggie sitter. She paid close attention to Clive’s needs and made him feel safe in her presence. They went for walks, she administered his medicine and fed him well. I can tell Clive, my beagle, really likes her and I do too. I highly recommend Haleigh as a top notch pet sitter ♥️”
