Doggy Day Care in Lake Watkins, Lakeland, FL

“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: BEST CARE ANYWHERE! I have over 50 years professional experience caring for dogs, I am now retired. I have worked in the boarding, grooming, training and vet tech fields. My home is calm and quiet, nervous dogs do great with me. My back yard is fully fenced; my back door opens into that backyard. Customized meals for every dog. Home and dog areas cleaned daily and sanitized weekly. YOUR DOG MUST BE FRIENDLY WITH OTHER DOGS and be 25 pounds or less! NO BULLY BREEDS I am retired and need to feel I am contributing to society in some small way. I love animals and they love me, so this is a good fit for me. I can care for dogs, cats, birds, horses, cattle, goats, chickens, rabbits, snakes, reptiles, raccoons and some small wildlife (depending on their needs) in their home or mine!

“Kyli was very accommodating to my VERY last minute and late evening request. Would definitely trust her with my little Bella again. She was very friendly and kept my baby safe and cozy.”

“We highly recommend Francisca. Our dog, Buddy had the best time with her. My children mentioned how calm Buddy was when we picked him up.(I don’t have to tell you other dog owners what a relief that is;). Francisca communicated well and sent pictures! Definitely plan to use her services again. Five Stars!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve also spent time volunteering at dog shelters, which has helped me understand and connect even more deeply with our furry best friends. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves playtime, or prefers snuggles and a calm walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs! I’m reliable, gentle, and truly passionate about what I do. I know how much dogs mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with all the love and attention they deserve. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐶💖 Right now I’m not working, and I study online from home—so I’m pretty much always around! That means I have tons of time and flexibility to care for pets whenever needed. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, so it fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have two super friendly Shih Tzus and one sweet. They love meeting new furry friends and are great at keeping other dogs company! But if your pup prefers their own space, no worries—I can easily keep them separated to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s requested by the owner. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, trips to the park, or just some relaxing cuddle time. My home is full of love, and your fur baby will be treated like part of the family!

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.

About: We will be the next best thing to home while you are away. My husband and I have had dogs our whole lives and believe our house is not complete without a furry companion around. I am available full time to care for your dog. and will care for them like they are my own. I was a Rover provider in Arizona many years ago, but now we have made our home in Lakeland Florida, and are once again opening our home to care for dogs through Rover. I am retired from the healthcare field after 30 years and comfortable giving medications, or other medical needs your pet may have. We have a large fenced in back yard, but we also go on daily walks, play ball, or provide a wading pool to keep cool if you dog enjoys water. I am also an excellent dog bather and I am willing to provide this service during your stay as well. Between my husband and I, we are home all the time and available to care for your pet 24/7. We have a dog of our own, so caring for a dog is just a normal part of our daily routine. We have a large fully fenced yard, and our own friendly dog to help keep your dog company. Your dog is always allowed to be in the house as much as they like (especially when it is hot out). We do have a large create if you prefer that your dog be created during certain times.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I bring both passion and professionalism to every visit. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels—including my current crew of pups! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, or administering medication, I’m committed to making pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for in a familiar and comfortable environment. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet with the same patience, affection, and respect I give to my own. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine! I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening visits. I’m flexible with my schedule and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I also prioritize communication and updates so pet parents always feel in the loop. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel relaxed and happy. When in your home, I follow all your instructions carefully, maintain cleanliness, and respect your space and routines to minimize any stress for your pet. I’m vigilant about preventing escapes or hazards and always supervise play and walks closely. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential to me, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every time.

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.

“My first time using Rover and my first time dropping my my baby off at day care. I know Shoto had so much fun playing with all the other pups. Nicole sent me pictures and updates. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. He will be back to play again!!”
