Doggy Day Care Lakeland

“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”

“Nick is absolutely wonderful with my puppy Raven, he gets a lot of play time, walks, rest and attention and comes home tired from a fun filled day. Definitely bringing my doggy back!!”

Leslie A.

“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”

“Nicole did an above and beyond job dogsitting my dog, Bumi. She communicated very well before and during the booking and also made sure to ask about any specific needs that my dog may have.”

“Veronica was amazing! What I truly appreciated was all of the pictures she sent. Every photo showed my fur baby happy and being part of Veronica's family for the day! I am grateful that she has been able to watch my boy and look forward to the next time she and Caleb take care of him!”

About: 10 years fostering dogs with a local shelter—puppies, medical cases, reactive dogs, seniors, and the shy ones who need extra patience. My favorites are large dogs and blockheads (staffies, rotties, pit mixes), though a small dog sneaks in now and then (frenchies, Havanese, corgi, etc). I'm new to Rover but not to petsitting. I've cared for dogs from families who adopted my fosters for years, and I've been active on Wag! At my house, dogs get on the furniture, play hard, and get spoiled. Belly rubs, butt scratches, and ear massages come standard. My goal is to send your dog home happy, loved and tired. I'm self-employed and work from home when dogs stay with me. (My clients are used to dogs making an appearance during Zoom calls.) I'm a runner so long walks with dogs is just part of the fitness routine. I match my schedule to your dog's feeding and bathroom schedule. Every dog that comes here is treated with patience and care. Some arrive nervous, anxious, or unsure—maybe a potty accident in a new space, maybe hesitant to settle. My job is to help them feel safe, give them time to decompress, and meet them where they are. When they're ready, I'm here for play and snuggles. I have a fenced yard and my property backs up to a park. Dogs get regular walks, plus potty breaks. If a dog needs shorter, lower-key outings, we do on-leash trips to the park right behind the house. If your dog is reactive, we do backyard potty breaks and walk off-peak hours on a specific path to minimize potential sightings of other dogs.

“Our boy was so happy to see Anna and Christian! He yelped his yelp reserved for family members. We always feel fine leaving him there. Lots of pictures and updates, too.”

Annie J.

“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”

Shylah H.

“Taylor was great! He accommodated us on short notice, was communicative, and took good care of our pup. Will definitely book again. Thanks!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, including my own dog, Chronos. Through that, I’ve learned how important structure, patience, and consistency are in keeping dogs happy and well-behaved. I’m comfortable managing high-energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to each dog. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I actively engage with them through structured walks, play, and enrichment so they’re mentally and physically stimulated. I’m very observant and pick up quickly on behavior changes, which helps me adjust care based on each dog’s needs. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, providing regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to create a safe, clean, and calm environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with walks, feeding, and playtime throughout the day. I build my day around the dogs in my care to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and structure they need. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I prioritize maintaining each dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s regular walks, play sessions, or just providing a calm environment to relax, I make sure every dog is well cared for and never left unattended for long periods. On weekends, I have even more availability, which allows for extra outdoor time, longer walks, and more engagement. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where dogs are always supervised. I introduce dogs carefully, monitor interactions, and can separate them if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and stress-free. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions. I keep doors secured, remove any hazards, and make sure the space is dog-friendly at all times. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I make sure they get a balance of exercise, play, and rest. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: With over 20 years of experience, what truly sets me apart is my deep, professional understanding of animal behavior and my commitment to treating every pet as an individual. This isn't just a job for me—it's a passion built on a lifetime of caring for animals. My specialized skills ensure your pet receives the highest level of care: Senior Pet Care: I have extensive experience providing patient, gentle care for older pets, including administering medication, assisting with mobility, and recognizing subtle signs of discomfort. Puppy and Kitten Training: I'm skilled in continuing your training efforts, from reinforcing house training and crate training to teaching basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Medical Care: I'm fully comfortable and experienced in administering various medications, including pills, topical creams, and injections. I also have a keen eye for noticing early health changes and will communicate with you immediately. Feline-Specific Expertise: I'm not just a dog sitter; I'm a cat person, too. I understand feline body language and the need for a calm, respectful approach to win a cat's trust. While other sitters might offer walks and feedings, I offer peace of mind. You can relax knowing your pet is not just being cared for, but is thriving in the hands of a true professional. I’ve built my routine to be fully flexible around my pet sitting commitments. Because I'm a full-time pet care provider, your pet's needs are the centerpiece of my day. I don't have a strict 9-to-5 job; my "office hours" are your pet's schedule. My days are naturally divided into morning routines, midday playtime and walks, and evening care. This structure allows me to handle multiple clients in a day without ever rushing. It means your dog gets their midday walk on time, and your cat gets their evening meal at the exact moment they're used to When your pet stays with me, they become a part of my family. My home provides a safe, comfortable, and cage-free environment where your pet can relax and play just like they do at home. I have a [mention a specific feature, e.g., fully fenced yard, a dedicated play area, a large cozy living room], and I limit the number of pets I host at one time to ensure every guest gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care. A typical day in my home includes: Morning: A refreshing walk and potty break, followed by breakfast. Midday: Plenty of supervised playtime, cuddles, and rest. Evening: A final walk, dinner, and a relaxing evening to wind down. I'll follow your instructions to the letter, whether it's a special diet or a medication schedule, and will send you regular photo and video updates so you can see your pet enjoying their vacation.

“Brandi took great care of our beagle boys. You can tell she loves animals. The yard and the home are great for hosting our dogs. She was very responsive and kept us updated with pictures. I’m so glad we met Brandi!”

About: I've cared for everything from birds and hamsters to cats and dogs! As a teacher and former daycare worker, I bring a calm, nurturing presence that pets (and babies!) naturally respond to. Whether it’s playful puppies or senior pets needing gentle care, I treat every animal like family. Since I am a teacher, I get summer off. My last day is June 18th, so after my last day my schedule is very flexible. I will be available every day of the week. My cats are indoor and I feed them in the morning when I wake up and before going to sleep. If the client has a dog, I like to take the dogs to the park or on a long walk and ensure they get physical activity. I feed them according to their schedule and make sure they get lots of snuggles throughout the day.
