“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!”

“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!”

Nick G.

“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: 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.

“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: 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.

“Kelsey is a wonderful sitter and was a lifesaver this summer! She is great about sending pictures and comments after a visit.”

Megan H.

“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!”

Kristin C.

“We had Elizabeth come for a drop in visit for our two cats over the holidays and she did everything they needed in our absence. She is very communicative and was attentive to the animals and our needs!”

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.

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.

About: I have lots of hands on experiences in pet care by working with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have volunteer experience with my local animal shelter, where I had to take multiple training classes in order to start working. I learned proper dog supervision, safe handling techniques, and how to teach young puppies basic commands. I've also dog sat for friends on many occasions. I grew up with dogs in my home my whole life and personally training our newest puppy now. Because of my shelter experience, I am confident in adjusting my approach to fit each dog's personality. I would love nothing more than to spend my free time away from classes to give your dog the love they deserve. As a college student, I am flexible in finding a time to care for your pet's needs with guaranteed availability after 9am on Monday, Wednesday, Friday with the occasional opening in the afternoon Tuesday/Thursday, just let me know. Weekends I am available anytime. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! (Please Note: Because of summer break, I will be unavailable until August. Thank you for your understanding.) I can efficiently follow instructions given, respect the privacy of your home, and ensure walks at your dog's comfortable pace. I understand dogs are like family and will treat them just like my own.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets. I am comfortable around animals of all temperaments and enjoy building positive relationships with them. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the week, giving them the attention and affection they need while you’re away. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and do not currently have any pets of my own, allowing me to provide focused attention to your pet. I am also happy to crate your dog if that is your preference.

About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. As a foster family for the SPCA, I learned to be tender and caring with animals, while walking large dogs has taught me the importance of discipline. Walks usually go around Lake Hollingsworth or to the park! My schedule is flexible. I should be able to meet you and your pets needs and fit your schedule. I look forward to helping out however I can. Walks route through neighborhoods, lakes, or parks, allowing time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior closely, ensure they stay hydrated, and keep them focused on the workout. If a dog moves unpredictably (or chases squirells etc.) I adjust the route or pace to keep the pet comfortable and safe.

“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: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once. I regularly cared for a household with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m also a pet owner myself (one dog and two cats), so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every animal like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, very responsive, and available for last-minute bookings when needed. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send updates/photos, and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. I work full time but I am remote, so taking time during the day is no problem in addition to availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, I’m committed to making your time away stress-free for both you and your pets. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy, and I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with small extras like bringing in mail or watering plants.
