Thank you so much!! Bella hates the rain so I’m not surprised she wasn’t too interested. I forgot to leave her raincoat out, she’s a little more agreeable with that on but I really appreciate everything yall did

Ruth did an amazing job caring for my dogs. They can be difficult with one being just a puppy and the other being older and very nervous but she did an excellent job making sure they were taken care of.

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 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.

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'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.

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.

I could not have been happier with the care my animals got from Bethany and Aaron. I was gone for 20 days, and they went above and beyond what I asked of them to make sure everyone was not only cared for, but happy. I got consistent updates, and they treated Cupcake like one of their own. I 100% will be using them every time I travel!

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.

Amber is a life saver for my worry about my pup while I’m out of town. My guy is still a puppy and hasn’t been left along for more than a few hours. Amber came over to let him go potty before the other housemate returned home. She communicated with me about how he was doing and made me feel very much at ease for being away from him. Thank you Amber!!

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.

We are so pleased that Ruth took care of our three kitties during our recent trip! We have been uncomfortable about our upcoming trips because travel upsets our kitties and we have to leave them behind. After our trial trip with Ruth, we feel that we can travel this year without the worry because she will give TLC to our sweet cas while we are gone.

I recently had Sia cat sit for my cat, Mylo, and she was fantastic. Sia came to my home each evening, feeding him, letting him enjoy some time on the back porch, and giving him company. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. She sent quick updates and was punctual every day, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, Mylo was relaxed and happy clear signs he’d been well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but Sia absolutely did. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and caring cat sitter.
