Dog Boarding in John Cox, Lakeland, FL

“Deanna is amazing. I hope she is.available whenever I need to board Ricky. She welcomed him into her home and he was one of the family during his stay. I appreciated the pictures and daily updates while I was away and had a good feeling knowing he was well taken care of and in good hands. I appreciated Deanna's patience with me and my schedule and I know Ricky enjoyed her large yard and the companionship of her dog Nekko.”

“Nicole did an amazing job with River. She sent pictures and updates. She had a few dogs there, and my River can be nervous around new dogs, and she handled her perfectly! When I went to pick her up, her tags snapped off her collar (my fault) and she even mailed them back to me. Will be using her to watch River the next time I need a sitter!”

“First time I have ever left my pup with someone , and he absolutely loved her from the beginning!! Definitely will be using again and again ♥️ He was so excited at pick up but also wanted to love on summer , highly recommend.”

“Ruverlyn is awesome!!! She was available during the holiday break, flexible with time, very positive energy, professional and communicated often. She was very welcoming to me and my dog! This was my first rover experience and Ruverlyn made it great! I definitely would book again!!!”

“Kentsy took such wonderful care of our fur baby Boo. We went out of the country and was put at ease with her keeping us up to date on how he was doing with pictures and all. Boo felt at home and was never scared. He loved spending time in the backyard and enjoyed having a friend.”

“I have a 100 pound Malinois mix, which I was worried might be an issue due to his size. But Skye did a great job of making sure that he got lots of exercise & also getting along great with the other dogs. Overall she did excellent & would definitely recommend!”

About: My wife and I have had dogs while we were single and while raising our three kids. We have always had 2 dogs that were also considered our kids . Now the nest is empty and we have a lot of time on our hands . We lost our beloved terrier Ozzie back in June due to old age , he was 14 years old , we miss him dearly and the house feels so empty without him. When Ozzie passed our hearts broke , unfortunately so did Khloe’ s our other terrier , they have been best friends for the past 7 years. Khloe is lonely and loves to have other dogs around . My daughter often takes our grand dogs Lyla and Bowser over to play with her , they do a good job at keeping her spirits up as they are both very energetic French Bulldogs. Being retired we are home a lot which can get pretty lonely . We would love to welcome your fur babies into our home , to love and care for as if they were our own and we are sure khloe will be happy to share her home as well. We have a large fenced in backyard and plenty of space inside. While caring for your dog the only pets that will be in our home is Khloe and our caged amazon parrot Oakley. Below you will find a list of breeds we have owned throughout the years or our children have . - Dalmatian - Had one for 16.5 years - Basset Hound - Had one for 11 years - Cairn Terrier - currently have a 7 year old and had another of 14 years . -French Bulldog- We spend a lot of time with our daughters 2 , they lived with us temporarily last year for 10 months . - Chihuahua - Our other daughter has a 8 year old that we have watched for them . We are both retired living in Lakeland fl our kids are in SW Florida so we have alot of time on our hands beautiful fenced in back yard and our Khloe a 18lb 7 year old Cairne Terrier would love to run and play with visiting friends. Our pets are fed and loved inside our air conditioned home and let out in our fenced in back yard to play alway supervised. We play fetch outside ,if it’s really hot out there time is limited and the playing takes place inside the home only.

“I am so thankful for Mary and Cory! Their home is welcoming and fun! Mary is such a kind soul and handles Kit so well- it’s Kit’s home away from home💕! Chester is the best dog friend for Kit! Mary is so friendly and handles all temperament of dogs so well, always a positive experience 💕!”

“Always a sigh of relief when I leave our pup with Michelle and family! She is well taken care of and loved by the whole family. You can’t ever go wrong to use these A+++++ Rovers. Your animal/s will be in truly great hands!! Thanks again as always! (We are repeat clients of Michelle x4)”

“Victoria was a perfect fit for our little fur baby. From the start, she asked about his personal needs and personality. Upon arrival, she took time to get to know him, walked with us and was more than accommodating by explaining how often and where he’ll go for walks. We left feeling comfortable and confident that his needs would be met. We weren’t gone very long before we received our first of several updates. This made mama happy. Once we returned, his greeting was happy but not full of anxiety, which he’s been known to have. Victoria went a step further, and sent along a gift bag. Her care and concern for his well being was so genuine, we decided that future stays will be with her! Thank you Victoria for loving our geriatric pup as your own.”

“Melinda was great to work with. She took on 4 nights with our King Charles Cavalier. Communication was great. She sent pictures. Sunny got along great with her pups. Sunny came home and promptly went to sleep. Lol. She got lots of playtime and loves! We’ll request Melinda again.”

“Randi is great. My dog is very shy and she did OK with her and did not get too frustrated when my dog was being a little bit tough. She kept me updated throughout the weekend!”

“10/10 tail wags for Megan! She keeps our pups happy with stimulating play and lots (and lots and lots) of cuddles, and us humans happy with adorable photos and updates while we’re away. We have a highly energetic dog and Megan makes sure she gets plenty of frisbee, walks, and mental stimulation. When we go on vacation she stays at our house and we can always count of the both our dogs and our home being well cared for. We have also had her do drop by visits just to check on the doggos and make sure they get plenty of potty breaks and play. We wouldn’t want to use anyone else!”

“Cristina was amazing! She was so communicative and I really felt safe boarding my dog with her! My flight got canceled on my way home and she was so flexible and kept my dog and worked with my schedule! So grateful to have found her!”

“Zseni my high energy Vzsla had a vacation stay with Liza and her English bulldog. A large secure fenced backyard. A very clean tiled home to play and be well taken care of. Liza sent pictures and kept me informed, all was well. Thank you Liza”

“Iroh was so happy from all the videos that were sent to me. Her dog was amazing and friendly, and I can tell Iroh had a great time while he stayed.”

“Susan took great care of our 9 month old puppy. Our Sunny is full of energy and playful and Susan kept up with her!! Lol. She had her overnight/24 hours. She sent lots of pictures and communicated great. Thanks again!! Would recommend her to others!”

“Trienicia took such good care of my puppy while he was with her! She sent daily photos and videos, and even FaceTimed me to see him one evening! She treated him as if he was her own!”

“Danielle was absolutely amazing! She is such a sweet person and took my dogs in as part of her family. I was really apprehensive leaving them since I don't do it very often, but I immediately knew they would be in good hands. My favorite part of their vacation at Waggin' Tails were the photos she continuously sent me. You could really tell she spent time with them and they loved being there. When I got my dogs back, they were so exhausted from all of the fun, they were passed out by 9:00 p.m. which made the return home from a long weekend that much easier. I would definitely recommend Danielle for anyone looking for a loving home for their doggies to stay in.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the level of care and attention Deone provided to my boys while they were in her care. They both came home happy, content, and thoroughly worn out. I would absolutely trust Deone to watch my dogs anytime, and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
