“Angelica and Jose were so sweet to Cooper. She sent lots of photos and videos and even gave him a bandana, a gift bag and a thank you card. Amazing service and their home was spotless!”

“We needed last minute dog care while traveling out of town and Cyd Marie did such an amazing job!! She was so sweet and friendly and the dogs loved her immediately. Her home is super warm and dog friendly. Couldn’t recommend her enough”

“From the moment we dropped off our pup, I felt completely at ease. My dog was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She sent regular updates with photos and messages, which meant the world to me and gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I will definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”

“Veld was absolutely amazing. I had never left my puppy with anyone before and I was nervous. However, there was nothing to be worried about at all. Daisy had a great time. Vely sent me lots of pictures and a few videos. I was kept up to date with everything going on. If you are thinking is having your dog stay with Vely, I highly recommend her. I will be using her again the next time I need someone to watch my dog!”

“It was I first time ever to leave my furbabies with anyone to care for them and they did great with Briana. She took very good care of care of them. Next time I’m in Lakeland, Fl. Again I will definitely book with Briana again.”

I graduated from university with an associate in veterinary technician. I been working for several years in veterinary medicine and doggy daycare i really have fun and enjoy all my time with them.

I have an empty room only for them, small cage if needed and a porch that they can be around. I’m a pet friendly and I always walk my dog around so he can enjoy the complex.

“Jani was great with Junior. He only stayed with her for the day. He can be fickle in his old age but loves people. She did great getting him comfortable in her home and giving him attention but also his freedom when needed. I received constant pictures which is always great! Will use Jani again if needed!”

About: Dogs have been my life companions and I'm a dedicated caregiver. I have experience raising my own dogs from puppy age on through the senior struggles. I had a big boy for 12 yrs and a big girl for almost 15, who I lost earlier this year. I especially love large dogs and the sweeties known as "bully" breeds. I'm choosing not to have a pet again for a while, so I have extra love and time to give to yours! I am available all days because I am not currently working a full time job and this will be a main source of income for me. I will incorporate the expectations discussed with the pet owner and be very attentive to the pet's needs. Animals tend to gravitate to me, perhaps because I play, pet, cuddle, and talk to them. I would ensure they are safe, happy, and have their needs met.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a little kid so I always had a furry best friend. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life.

Your dogs will be well taken care of I have a fenced in patio along with a dog park that is rarely used at my complex.

About: I’m patient and attentive when it comes to animals and their individual needs. I’m physically capable of engaging in any animal-related activities, and I stay observant to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also adapt easily to each animal’s personality and preferences. As a college student without a current job, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day and week to care for pets. This fits well into my routine and gives me the opportunity to focus fully on their needs.
