Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Lake Bonny Park, Lakeland, FL

“Ruth was hired to walk my Chihuahua, Nyla, on a regular basis while I am at work. I liked her so much in our meet & greet that I cancelled the other appointments I had set to look for the right dog walker. She is on time consistently, sends great updates and my dog LOVES HER! I fully trust her with access to the house and with my pup. Will be using her consistently moving forward.”

“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”

“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”

“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: 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 !

“Thank you, he was probably extra crazy! That was the longest he was alone. Thanks again for taking care of him and all your communication! I will be in touch!”

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals.

I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.

About: Dog sitting is more than a job for me- it’s a passion! I’ve spent time with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Terriers to gigantic Great Danes. I’m not just your average sitter; I bring a knack for understanding doggy body language, a talent for getting even the pickiest pups to swallow their pills, and I always carry a bag full of treats (of course!). Whether your dog needs a running buddy, a snuggle partner, or just someone to toss the ball again and again- I’ve got it covered. I pride myself on keeping tails wagging and owners stress free, knowing their fur babies are in the best hands. Since pet sitting is my primary job and I’m currently a college student, my schedule is quite flexible. I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine, offering plenty of time for walks, play sessions, and any special needs your dog may have. My evenings and weekends are also free, so I can provide consistent care and attention throughout the week. Safety and trust are crucial when caring for pets in your home. I make sure to follow your specific instructions to the letter, from feeding routines to exercise needs. I will keep your home secure by ensuring all doors and gates are closed and never leave your pet unattended in potentially hazardous situations. I also maintain a clean and organized environment, respecting your space and belongings. Your pet’s well-being is my utmost concern, and I strive to provide the same level of care and attention that you would.
