“Mikayla did an outstanding job taking care of our three Boxer dogs! She was responsible, thoughtful, kind and dependable. We will absolutely use her again to take of our pets.

About: I’m an animal lover who enjoys playing and cuddling with fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual and unique needs of every animal I care for. I enjoy creating my own schedule and prioritize care into my routine to soothe, comfort, entertain and provide basic needs for every animal in my care. I’m available early mornings, evenings and weekends. Routine schedules for feeding, potty and play time are ideal so I and the animals know what’s coming. I try my best to stick to routines already placed and will navigate to create a routine that fits both you as the owner and I as the pet sitter.

“Vanessa H. Is such a great responsible petsitter. She came to our house and stayed for six days and nights with our Catahoula dog. She was super and on the ball with everything I asked of her. From feedings to let outs, play time, videos and pics she kept up on all of it. I highly recommend her as my favorite pick., to let her stay with your furbabies.”


About: There hasn't been a moment in my life without a pet in the house and what a joy it's been! Everything from puppies to senior dogs, police k-9's, reactive dogs, cats, strays, lost animals for the night, turtles, hamsters, hedgehogs, and everything in between! I don't discriminate when it comes to my love for animals. I recently moved to Lakeland to pursue my master's in social work, and my childhood / school years dog lives with my dad in Wisconsin. I couldn't think of a better way to get my animal fix than helping others when they can't be home for their sweet babies! Your pets in my care will feel liked a spoiled day at grandma's 😊 I'll make sure to send lots of pictures and updates ! I have classes two nights a week, Monday & Tuesday from 5-9. I'm currently looking for more full time work, so for now my schedule is very open! I'm well equipped to handle all sorts of animals and needs. Whether it's giving medications, helping with crate or potty training, basic obedience, etc I'm happy to help! I live in a quiet apartment that has access to a fenced in dog park on the premise. I will only use the park if it's unoccupied by other dogs. There's also a beautiful walking trail just minutes away! My home is smoke free, child free, and I have lots of experience in puppy proofing. Other than that, I have a roommate who desperately misses her pets back home in NC and also wants to share the love !


“KENDRA IS AMAZING!!! She has great people, pet, and communication skills! Her and her husband are great company- all of us love them! 🦔🐶 10/10 would recommend booking with Kendra!”


“Belle was a fantastic caretaker for our 12-year-old furry baby Scout. He can be a bit of a challenge since he is older and deaf. Belle sent us some pictures of him during our 6-night trip out-of-town. Scout looked happy, bright eyed and alert. Belle left the home neat, tidy and smelling clean and sanitized. I would recommend Belle without any hesitation. She will be first on my list to call when we need her to watch Scout in the future.”


“Sia did an excellent job taking care of Kaylee for a week while on vacation. Was able to get in touch with her as needed. She sent a daily picture of Kaylee and any updates. Would hire her again in future outings.”


“Alison was great! It was our first time leaving our golden, and his first time spending even a night without his mom or dad. I work from home 99% of the time and he’s a true Velcro dog, following me everywhere. So I was very worried about how he’d do without me, and vice versa. Alison was great with him and made time to come for a few walks in the weeks before we left so she and Santo could get to know each other a bit. After we left she checked in with us and sent us photos and updates about our baby, which helped me worry less about whether he was feeling sad or abandoned. She was respectful of our home and even asked before signing into a streaming account we don’t have. And when we got stuck in nightmare traffic on I-4 on the way home from the airport, she stayed past the time booked for our stay so Santo wasn’t alone.”


“Kelsey is amazing! She is so sweet and my dogs love her. She provided us with plenty of pictures and updates which made me feel like Kelsey genuinely cared! We will be using Kelsey as our dog sitter from now on. Highly recommend!”



“When Luciano first came in our house - immediately - his focus and interest was on our pups. He sat down and played with them right off the bat, and they were in love. We could almost see the bonding happening in that moment, and we knew our pups would be in good hands with Luciano. He's kind, and polite, and clearly loves caring for and interacting with dogs. On a 5 star rating, he's a 6. Absolutely the best. We are so lucky to have found him.”

“It was so nice to have such a reliable dog sitter!! Bella was so comfortable with Felicia and so were we!! Highly recommend!! Thank you again for caring for our baby and our home! 🤦♀️”


“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!”


“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!”


About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young but I’ve also watched almost every kind of pet including dogs, birds, fish, alpacas and chickens. I love and care for them as if they were my own. My job allows me to work whenever I’m free so I’m available to watch your furry friends whenever you need me and give them my undivided attention! I can take care of your pets anyway you need me to, I can take them for long walks, administer medication, and fulfill any other requests that will bring you and/or your pet peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

“Joy was wonderful to my two pups! She kept consistent communication with updates and pictures. She kept my home nice and clean and treated it like it was her own. We will be re booking her! ❤️ thanks Joy!”


“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!”

Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”

We have two large dogs (45 and 55 pounds). One is a bit high-strung and nervous but she loves Lucia. They are as happy to see her when she arrives as they are to see us when we come home. Highly recommend!”
