About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

“Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!”

About: I am a 47 year old male, whose Air Force duties were crew chief for F-22 fighter jets, serving overseas during the Iraq war. I have top secret security clearance and many missions under my belt. My passion now is animals. I am currently an SPCA foster parent to both dogs and cats. No job is too big or too small when caring for your pet. Whether they have medical needs or just need a happy face to lick, I can take care of it all. I am available day or night with total peace of mind everything will be cared for. I live in South Lakeland. I am retired and available for boarding, client home boarding and care, pet walks and visits. I'm available any day and time. I will answer all requests as soon as I see them. I live alone in a small and safe community, with little traffic, which makes it safe for walks. I have a unfenced yard but I take great care allowing the dog to have freedom in the yard while being on a leash. I have access to a fenced in dog "play" area in my community. My home is non-smoking, cozy, and quiet. I keep the home air cool to provide comfort for the animals. I maintain constant contact with your loved one to know they are safe and happy. I will provide daily texts and photos of the pet, to the owner, to show they are safe and happy.

About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.

“Thank you, he was probably extra crazy! That was the longest he was alone. Thanks again for taking care of him and all your communication! I will be in touch!”

“For anyone looking for a reliable person to drop in and care for your animals, Amber is that person! We recently hired Amber while out of town for our 5 animals. She was thorough in understanding the needs of each individual pet and all of the details that entailed, with clear communication before, during and after the visit. Thanks Amber!”

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 11 years. Currently, I have a Boston Terrier who I helped potty train. I also have an Island dog known as a pot cake. I enjoy walking them and playing frisbee, tug, ball etc. with them. I will take excellent care of your pets, and I am reliable, and trustworthy. I am attending college but will have a lot of free time before or after classes, and I am available on the weekends and holidays. I have a fenced in yard. I can also crate or let your pet sleep where they normally would sleep. I also enjoy walking them.

“I’m so glad to have found Micah as a sitter! This was my first time using Rover, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. It was so convenient to be able to leave my animals in their own environment while I went out of town, and Micah took wonderful care of them! She scheduled a visit to come by and meet them all first, and she asked questions to try and stick exactly with their routines. She also sent lots of sweet pictures, and it was wonderful to see everyone so at ease during her visits! I’ll absolutely be booking with Micah again in the future!”

About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them

“Great job! Always takes great care of Daisy.”

“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me genuine joy. As a lifelong lover of both cats and dogs, I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. For over 25 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I've even travelled across the country to pet sit; that's how much I love it. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, giving lots of belly rubs, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I take pride in making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routines, quirks, and favorite activities. Whether your dog loves adventure or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their needs. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust time and time again. Now that I’m retired from my profession in law enforcement, I have the time and flexibility to do something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, and I love spending my days walking dogs, playing with pets, and giving cats and dogs the love and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to be available throughout the day, ensuring your pets receive plenty of care, companionship, and personalized attention while you’re away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. At this time, I’m unable to board pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure and can maintain their normal routines. When staying in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and favorite activities to help reduce stress while their owners are away. As a retired law enforcement professional with 20 years of experience, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet-sitting experience. I treat both pets and homes with the utmost respect and care, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can enjoy peace of mind knowing their furry family members are safe, happy, and loved.

“Thank you so much for taking care of our two kitties! This was the first time we had left them alone for more than a couple days, and it was such a relief knowing someone was going to check on them and make sure the older cat got her medication.”
