Pet Sitting 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.

“Laura took such great care of our cat when we were away for a week! The photos and updates provided peace of mind so that we could enjoy our trip without worry. We will definitely be asking Laura to care for our kitty when we go out of town in the future!”

“Lindsay was great! I've always been hesitant to let strangers into my home, let alone take care of my pet, but she truly went above and beyond for Moxie! She was descriptive in her visits and sent plenty of pictures :) will def be booking again!”

“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember! My pets have ranged from a 15 pound cockapoo to a 180 pound American Mastiff! I am a very gentle and caring person with a flexible mindset and happy to help where I can! I am a teacher who is on summer break! My schedule is fully open and ready to help at any time. I can be very flexible with my schedule and I am ambitious and ready to work. I have cared for dogs in multiple different home environments. I am comfortable with putting your pet in a crate if desired and spent my whole life walking my dogs as well. I’ve also worked with all ages and dogs and have administered medicine, trained dogs, and of course played with them all day long!

“Ariel did a great job taking care of our two cats. She was very respectful of our space and reliably communicated with me about our shy cat who likes to hide. We’d be happy to book her again!”

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

“Autumm took great care of Cadu 🐈 she let me know every time she checked in on her and kept clear communication. I would recommend her 100% 🙌🏼🐈💚”

“This is my first time being a client on Rover. As a Rover sitter myself (and Raechel’s sitter!) my expectations (and anxiety) were high. My two cats were used to family and friends checking in on them and have never had anyone “new” taking over that role. Raechel responded right away when I checked in during a visit. Every visit had photos and notes. One of my cats did not come out for Raechel over the ten days I was away, but Raechel and I communicated often and tried different tips and tricks to try and get him to come out and eat. She was very patient and willing to meet my anxious needs. At my request, she even went back to my place after ending the visit to modify the feeding situation because of my anxious kitty. I came home to well taken care of cats and everything like i had left it. I recommend Raechel and will request her again in the future.”

“Sylvia is wonderful! The cats love her, and they don't normally come out for catsitters. She takes the best photos too! It's clear she loves what she does.”

“I am a return customer. I made a mistake and missed the window to review on her previous visit, so I had to make sure to tell you guys how Jules is awesome. My dogs love her. Jules followed the instructions on feeding them perfectly so it’s like I never left. It’s so peaceful knowing my dogs are in good reliable care. I tell my friends to Book Jules.”

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.

“Lidia was our dog sitter for the Labor Day weekend and did a wonderful job! She visited our pups exactly as scheduled and made sure they were well cared for — playing with them, letting them out, refilling their water bowls, and feeding them. She gave them lots of love and attention, which made us feel at ease while we were away. One of the highlights was how well she kept us updated. Lidia sent us plenty of pictures from every visit and shared regular updates on how our dogs were doing. We felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We truly enjoyed having Lidia take care of our dogs, and they clearly enjoyed her too! We will definitely be booking her again.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I regularly help care for my siblings’ dogs and my roommates cat! I currently have an internship on Monday and Tuesdays, so I’m available after 6pm on those days. The rest of the week, my schedule is very flexible and I’m available Wednesday through Sunday for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. When caring for pets, I always follow any instructions given and stick to the pet’s usual routine. I try to spend as much time with them as possible and give them plenty of attention and care. I also make sure to send consistent updates and photos!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have had Labrador Retrievers in my family since the day I was born. Being around dogs has always been second nature to me, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I actually started dog sitting when I was about 10 years old—long before apps like Rover existed! I made little newsletters and put them in my neighbors’ mailboxes offering pet sitting and dog walking services. In high school, I had a regular job with a neighbor where I would let their dogs out every day after school for several years. Caring for animals has always been something I’ve done naturally, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work fully remote from 9–5, which gives me a lot of flexibility when caring for pets. I’m able to stay with your dog and work from your home during the day, and I can also stop by to let them out during gaps in meetings or over my lunch break. Because I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and can stop by to let dogs out as needed. I love being active and going on walks, so taking dogs out for walks fits perfectly into my daily routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow the owner’s routine and preferences as closely as possible. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel most comfortable while you’re away. I’m very respectful of other people’s homes and will treat your space with care. If you have a fenced yard, I’m happy to let your dog out to play and get some fresh air. If not, I’m more than happy to take them out on walks for exercise and bathroom breaks. I can also crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine, provide meals, refresh water, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away
