Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in East Lake Morton, Lakeland, FL

“I have used Ruth several times and could not be happier with the services she provides. Ruth demonstrates a high level of professionalism, punctuality, and attentiveness to my dog, Frankie. Ruth has excellent communication skills and replies to my messages promptly with pictures of her visit with Frankie. There have been several occasions when I've needed last minute dog walks or visits due to a work emergency, and Ruth always is able to jump in and help me out with last minute notice. Most importantly, my dog Frankie absolutely LOVES her! I highly recommend Ruth for all your animal needs! ”

“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”

“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 had animals in my house all my life and have always loved taking care of them! I grew up with cats and when we finally got our first dog we were inseparable. I went off to college and got my own animals to take care of for a couple years but I recently moved across the country with my husband and we had to leave our little friends behind with our families. My late childhood dog had gotten older as I was going off to college and lost her hearing and sight, so I'm well prepared to take care of animals that need a little extra attention! I'm hoping to help people in the area out with their little family members! I love to walk dogs, play with cats, and just hangout with all types of animals. Im currently working from home and doing some online schooling. This allows me to be super flexibly for a job with Rover. I can tend to your pets needs 24/7. Because of my situation, your pet will almost never be left alone and will be well taken care of and loved! I do not have any pets of my own currently and will only be taking one family at a time. I have a huge yard outside my apartment unit and a fenced in dog park that is not too far of a walk away as well!

“Thank you for taking care of Kupah.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my combination of experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m skilled in handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, including administering medication, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality, whether that means high-energy play, gentle companionship, or calm reassurance. I’m highly dependable, detail-oriented, and maintain clear communication with pet owners—always sharing updates, photos, and progress. Above all, I treat every pet as family, creating a safe, loving environment that gives owners peace of mind and pets the care they deserve. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that includes morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or medication administration. I plan ahead to ensure I’m fully available and present for each visit, giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. Throughout the week, I maintain a consistent routine while staying flexible for last-minute needs or special requests. I also make time to check in with pet owners, send updates, and adjust care plans if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care never feels like a chore it’s something I look forward to every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, my priority is always the same: creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that feels familiar and stress-free for the pet. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely maintaining routines for feeding, walks, play, and any medications. I make sure the pet feels calm and secure by keeping things consistent and giving them lots of positive attention. I also keep the home clean, tidy, and secure during my visits. When pets stay in my home, I make it a warm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. I provide regular outdoor time, social interaction, and follow any specific care routines provided by the owner. Safety is a top priority, so I ensure a pet-proof environment and constant supervision. In both settings, I offer regular updates and photos so pet parents always feel connected and reassured. My goal is to treat every pet like family because that’s exactly what they are.

About: I’m the biggest pet lover I know! I frequently dog-sit and cat-sit for friends and neighbors. Throughout my life, I've had six dogs, two of whom now live with my parents. All of them have enjoyed wonderful lives! One of my special skills is out-energizing dogs during their walks. I love taking them around the lake and enjoying my neighborhood! I often visit my neighbors to check on their pets, change the kitty litter, or just spend time with them—especially when they go on vacation. I also feed and walk my friend's pets. See I create a detailed list of needs and wants for the pets, all discussed with the pet owner to ensure that I understand what is required for their care. I also like to get to know both the owner and the pet before providing care. This allows me to ask questions and gather the necessary information to properly care for the pet.

“Cassidy took amazing care of our Daisy. Highly recommend her. Thanks.”

About: Ive always gotten along well with cats & dogs. I always try to cater to the need of the owners as long as their reasonable 😂. Honestly animals in general bring so much joy to everyone and deserve the cuddles and care the need. 😁 I’m usually available on Mondays & Fridays after 5pm and am free throughout Saturday, as for Sundays I’m free either in the early mornings like 8:30am - 11am or after 4pm-9. I try my best to be flexible with the hours before and/or after 12pm to 5pm. If you have any rules in place don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll always strive to make sure to stick to them. And make sure that your pets are relax and have the necessary attention they need. 🙂

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!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. Running and playing sports with dogs has always been my favorite hobby. Thank you so much I can play with and care for pets all day. I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood. We have a beautiful dog park that the dogs all enjoy. Respecting the clients wishes in their homes and showing their pets lots of love is all it takes. I have spent many hours house sitting for amazing Black labs, Pit bulls, and Goldens.
