“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”

“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!”

“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!”

About: I have had a big passion for animals since childhood. I grew up with many animals and always dreamed of working with animals. 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’m currently working 3 days per week, usually I’m off on Sunday and the rest of the time at home. My schedule rotates, I do not always have the same days off. 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!”

“We felt very comfortable leaving our two labs with Tracy while we visited Disney World. We were able to see her huge fenced yard and how her house was set up perfectly for our dogs. Tracy sent several pictures during the day and it was obvious our dogs were quite comfortable there, sleeping on the couch and getting lots of attention. We really appreciate Tracy caring for our dogs so we could have a fun day without worry. We look forward to booking with her again!”

Fresh water is always available, along with treats (with your permission), and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and happy

“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!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life. I have worked at dog boarding facilities and various rescues over the years. I am currently a volunteer with a local rescue. I have three small dogs of my own. My husband and I both work from home, so your pet will rarely be unsupervised. I work from home so your pet will rarely be unsupervised. When I do need to leave the house, I have steps and protocols in place to assure your pet's safety while I am away. I have a 6ft privacy fenced back yard. All lawn care items are locked away in a shed to lessen the risk of your pet getting into anything potentially toxic. I supervise feedings and separate dogs, if necessary. I can also administer oral medications.

“Susan was extremely helpful with Cooper. He hasn’t been to any daycare in a while and he was a little unsure. She took special care with him and put him at ease in her home. Thank you, Susan!”

“A wonderful stay for Maggie. I would recommend to anyone. My Mags is all for me and I felt and saw how happy she was to be there. Made my day relaxing being so far from home as Randi texted me photos of Maggie in her most relaxing positions.”

About: I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs my whole life, I am a pet lover and very gentle with animals. I have a large Great Dane at home so I am also familiar with large dogs. I am currently a college student-athlete living in Lakeland, not as busy as you think! I take mostly online classes and have a perfect schedule for check-ins, and walks! I’m always looking to help take care of animals because I have a passion and love for them, especially pups🐾💛 I am just looking for check ins and dog walking, I live in an apartment so I most likely won’t be bringing a dog back home.

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.

“Lemon had a great time with Angie and the family. Angie was transparent and sent photos to keep us updated throughout the day! We will be using her services again in the future”

“I booked with Alberto as a last minute resort and I was very happy to have found such a caring person who truly cares about the fur babies left in his care. My Princess was taken care of and I look forward to using his services again”

About: Pet sitters concentrate on the care of the pet. I , however focus on not only care but also pet behavior training , and nutritionists. Pet care is built into my daily schedule with dedicated time each morning and evening for feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care. I plan my workday around these responsibilities to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and supervision. Throughout the week, I schedule additional time for longer walks, grooming, cleaning pet areas, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I stay flexible to accommodate any special needs, medications, or changes in routine. Pet care is a regular and structured part of my routine, not an afterthought. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and the well-being of the animals while balancing other responsibilities. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walking and play routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I ensure pets have fresh food and water, regular exercise, and plenty of attention and affection. I maintain a clean and safe environment by keeping pet areas tidy, securing doors and gates, safely storing food and supplies, and using pet-safe products. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior or health and communicate updates with owners to ensure peace of mind. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, stress-free, and cared for as if they were my own while respecting the client’s home and preferences.
