Dog Sitting Lakeland

About: I stand out as a pet sitter by providing attentive, personalized care for pets of all ages and needs. I have experience training puppies with basic commands, potty training, and positive reinforcement, while also offering gentle, patient senior pet care including medication reminders, mobility support, and comfort-focused attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and dedicated to making pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Watching over your furry friend fits perfectly into my open Monday through Friday schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care and flexible availability from mornings through late afternoons. I have plenty of free time for playtime and would love to spend even more with your furry friend. I care for pets by keeping them comfortable with their normal routine while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. This includes following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I also communicate regularly with the owner through updates and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! My mom had a rescue and 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! 💗😊 I’m home all day, everyday since I study from home. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy, and it fits perfectly into my routine. I have two super friendly Shih Tzus. 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 pup will be treated like part of the family!

About: My animals are my everything and I know how hard it is to trust them with someone else. Yes, I am that dog Mom. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From horses to parrots to cats and dogs of every size, I've never known life without them and it is such an privilege to care for them. I've trained service dogs and have experience with everything from toy breeds to gentle giants. I have experience volunteering at horse and dog rescues. My own two dogs are a bonded pair (a service dog and a therapy dog.) I believe our furry companions are family, and that's exactly how yours will be treated while in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or simply a loving place to feel comfortable, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and needs. I am communicative, respectful, responsible and attentive. Your furry family member will be loved and cared for as one of my own! My schedule is flexible. I am home full-time allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and individualized care. As a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a service dog and a therapy dog, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Your pet will enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and feel at home. I only accept one boarding guest at a time after a screening. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and training service dogs, I understand the importance of routines, patience, and individualized attention. My home is shared with my two bonded dogs, a German Shepherd and a Labrador. I require a meet-and-greet before boarding to ensure everyone is comfortable together. I follow each pet's feeding, exercise, and care instructions and provide a loving, supervised environment where they're treated like family.

“Thank you so much for taking great care of the kids while we are on vacation. It's so comforting to know we can enjoy ourselves and the critters are all taken care of! Highly Recommend Jennifer”

“Susan was absolutely amazing with my two cats while we were on vacation! She was on time for every visit and handled the special needs of my diabetic cat effortlessly! She loves animals and it shows! I will be sure to use Susan again the next time I need a pet sitter as my kitties were in good hands!”

About: I have experience with both cats and dogs. I am Fear Free certified and am a certified veterinary assistant. I have also volunteered at the Pet resource center and at Blue pearl pet hospital. So, if your pet has any medication they need to take, I can help with that too. I'm a stay at home mom, I drop my kids off at school early in the morning and pick them up at noon. My husband works from home, so I don't worry about my children and am available pretty much throughout the day to take care of your pets. Occasionally I'm out weekends, but it's not so often. I will always slowly introduce myself to the pets I'm caring for and ensure them that I am there to take care of their needs.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, from [family dogs growing up / my own dog] to watching friends' and neighbors' pets for the last 10 years. I'm active and outside a lot, so your dog gets real exercise, not just a quick lap around the block. I work from home full-time, so I'm around all day instead of leaving your dog alone for 8+ hours. I take breaks throughout the day for walks, play and potty trips, and I'm free evenings and weekends for longer walks and outings. Your dog stays inside with me as part of the household, not in a kennel or garage. I have a fenced backyard for safe play and potty breaks, and I always supervise yard time. I live with my family, so someone is almost always home. Before any stay I do a meet and greet so your dog can get comfortable. I stick to your feeding schedule, meds and routine exactly like home, keep food and trash out of reach, and have your vet's info on hand just in case. When I sit at your place, I follow your house rules and keep everything locked up and tidy. You'll get photo updates every day.

I love the bond that I had with the dogs and their owners through the generations of pets they owned. As a retired groomer and a previous animal owner of husky's (they have passed), I will provide the attention your loved one requires. I will love your pet the way that you love them or better..lol I have a fenced in 1 acre yard for them to run around in. I do not have children, a non smoker, and I don't have any pets of my own, yet.
