Dog Walking Lakeland

About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.

“Malik is so awesome. Helps out on last minute notice and not worried when he is walking my very strong Doberman puppy who is not quite leash trained yet. Thank you Malik!”

About: • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. I go above and beyond with detailed "report cards", daily photo and video updates, or regular check-ins via text or email. I take the time to build trust with nervous, shy, or reactive dogs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I work part-time from Saturday through Tuesday, but I'm completely free on my days off and on Monday mornings until 2:00 PM. I'd love to provide companionship and care during those times, ensuring your pet is never alone for long. I always match the owner’s exact routine to keep the pet calm. I provide tailored in-home care for all types of pets, ensuring they stay safe and happy in their own environment. I treat every home with respect and send regular updates so you have peace of mind

“I needed a last minute sitter and Tabitha came to the rescue. At first meeting her and Scout were fast friends. She did such a great job taking care of him. You can tell she truly takes pride and cares about the furry friends in her care. Thank you Tabitha! I appreciate you and would highly recommend!”

About: Hey! My name is Briana and I grew up with groomers and animal rescuers for parents. I was taught how to birth, wean, potty train, and care for many types of animals. I have worked in my parents grooming shop to help over the years and this included walking and bathing dogs. I have not only work experience and lived experience but also my passion for animals especially being a cat/dog mom myself. I have special experience with senior dogs and puppies, including wound care, medicine needs and dedicated time/attention. I can't wait to meet your furry loved one! I work Mon-Sat 7am-12pm at my fulltime job but am able to house sit and do drop ins around that schedule. I would be leaving around 6/630am and back around 12:30/1pm to handle any care needs. I am unable to host animals inside of my home due to my own cat not being a friendly guy. In my clients home I follow all rules set in place as well as keeping your furry loved one comfortable in their existing routines or whatever the client's expectations would be. I prefer taking written directions just so I have something I can always check back to ensure the most efficient care.

“Julia did and excellent job caring for my doggo. She paid close attention to details and loved on my doggie. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: I have continuously been the friend and family member that is trusted with dog sitting. I have had experience with senior dog care and with babies as well. I am a very well-rounded worker! I am currently a full-time employee but telework parts of the week! I have plenty of time to fully support you and your pets needs!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

“Christine spent the extra time to meet and get to know my German Shepherd girl before walking her. My girl was very comfortable with her and the walk went very well for both of them.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time as I’ve had many dogs myself throughout my life! I love animals so much!! I work at a school full time from the end of August until the beginning of June. I will be available full time during the summer Monday-Friday all day! I have a fenced yard where your pupper will be able to walk around freely! I will also take them for walks around the neighborhood and to the park! I am willing to travel to you as well! My senior dog recently passed away and would love company!

About: I've had both dogs and cats my entire life, so being around animals is second nature to me. Over the years, I've also helped care for my neighbors' and family friends pets whenever they were out of town. This included; feeding, walking, playing, and just being there to keep them company. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I am a student at the University of Michigan, studying sport management. I would love the opportunity to take care of other people's pets over my summer break. I will start my summer break by the end of June and would love to jump right in by helping those around me care for their pets in my free time. I am super flexible, so please feel free to message me! I focus on keeping things safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Every animal is different, so I take the time to understand what makes them feel relaxed and happy. I also keep owners updated with quick check-ins and photos, so they know their pet is doing well and being cared for like family.

“Erica has been an incredible dog walker for our Husky puppy! She is communicative, friendly, and our puppy’s favorite person! Highly recommend Erica!”

Please don’t hesitate to ask about my availability during the week and Ill see if I can accommodate. I currently do not have any pets in my home but do have a friendly toddler who enjoys dogs. I have a decent sized backyard that is fenced. We will treat your furry friend as our own and will enjoy walks and playtime with your furry friend to make sure they are never alone.

About: I love spending time with animals of all sorts! I took care of our family dog for fourteen years and frequently dog-sat and cat-sat for friends. I also volunteered at the animal shelter in college, gaining all sorts of animal caretaking skills. I love spending time with cats and dogs, young and old, no matter what, I'm sure we'll get along. I always treat every animal with love and compassion as if they were my own pet. I love playing with animals or taking them on long walks. Currently, I have availability on Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends. I am pretty flexible in scheduling and type of care needed. I can potentially spend time in the evening with your animal on Wednesdays as well! I am very loving and also energetic! If your animal is up to play or go on a walk I will be their best friend. I am also always up for spending time with a pet who loves to relax!

About: I've owned dogs for 13 years and have been professionally training dogs for 4 years. I'm a Certified Professional Trainer who's worked with all breeds, ages, sizes and behaviors. Dogs are currently my full time career so you pup with get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, hikes, field trips and training if you so wish. Please adhere to the pick up and drop off windows. Additional fees maybe be added for late booking(within 3days), aggressive dog, weekends, etc. I have a large fenced in yard with over a half acre of room for pups to run and one playful dog. All dogs will be kept separated in their own personal kennels inside the house and given plenty of time outside. Individual time to free roam the house. Possible playtime with other dogs if deemed safe by me and approved by the owner. Also, time to hang out with multiple dogs inside the house as long as everyone is dog friendly.

“Lidia was on time, friendly, and great with our dogs. We also really appreciated the daily updates and photos. Will definitely hire her again!”

About: In college, I helped my friend raise a seeing-eye dog in training for two years. We had him from the time he was 6 weeks old until he went back to the Seeing Eye at 1 and 1/2 years. This gave me experience training puppies, and since the Seeing Eye had strict standards, I can be as tough or as gentle as you need. I love also playing or just hanging out with dogs, so however energetic or relaxed you dog is, I can handle it. Since college, I have watched friends's dogs from anywhere between quick walks to overnight stays. I am a law school graduate currently studying for the bar exam. My schedule is pretty flexible as I set my hours, so I am pretty available throughout the week. I am available some weekends as well! Above all, I am a very neat person and will respect you space if I come to care for your pet in your home. I will happily clean up any messes that come up with taking care of your dog, and I will put everything away before I leave. I recognize it takes a lot of trust not only to allow someone to take care of your dog, but to also let that person into your house. I will never do anything beyond your instructions (barring an emergency), and will gladly send pictures and updates at every opportunity. Additionally, I am always prepared with toys and treats!

“Jules is very professional, prompt and nice. My dog Boogs loves going on walks with Jules. Thank you.”
