“Angelica and Jose were so sweet to Cooper. She sent lots of photos and videos and even gave him a bandana, a gift bag and a thank you card. Amazing service and their home was spotless!”

“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: 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: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was 5 years old! I’ve taken my time to learn animal behaviors and I can assure your pet will be in good hands. I have had the chance of taking care of multiple animals! Ranging from dogs, cats, goats, pigs, many kinds of birds, reptiles, amphibians and many more. Ive also taken care of many animals of many ages in life. I am mostly always free! I am a student just earning money and experience to become a future veterinarian. I have a great passion for all things animal related so I hope to have the greatest opportunity to take care of your pets! (Hablo español) I am currently a student just earning money and studying. So I am almost always free! (unless my parents planned something.) If anything comes up I will always let you know! I have a dog of my own that is very friendly! If you'd like to socialize your pet I can help! I don't mind buying things to ensure your pets needs are met. (within reason and budget of course)

“Tracy was great with our little guy. She kept us updated with pictures and videos thru the day. He enjoyed her big backyard. We definitely will be back”

“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: At Friendly Paws Inn, we provide loving and personalized pet boarding solutions for your furry family members. Our dedicated team is committed to making every pet feel comfortable and cared for, just like family. As a family-run business with a lifelong passion for dogs and cats, we truly love what we do and strive to create a home away from home for pets. It's currently our business full time. We have 4 family members that will care for your pet. One of us is onsite 24 hours a day. We treat all animals like they are our own. We truly love animals and volunteer weekly at the local SPCA in Lakeland. We own 4 cats and 2 small dogs and have had pets our entire life.

About: I have fostered for the SPCA since I was 12 and have owned pets my entire life. I have a passionate love for animals and recently discovered a new passion for pet sitting! I STRICTLY KEEP ONLY ONE PET FAMILY AT A TIME - so I can focus on their personal and familiar schedule, happiness, and safety. I ALSO WELCOME SPECIAL NEEDS PETS, as I have owned and cared for many myself. Keeping your pet is a privilege and brings me great joy, it is not a primary financial stream. (If you need a recurring or long-term sitter who will build a loving relationship with your pet, please contact me for discount.) As for my background and experience, as a youth, I began fostering animals for the SPCA at 12 years old, and then at 16 began raising and training guide dog puppies for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have been awarded volunteer and foster of the year both by the SPCA. As I got older. I saw a great need for foster parents who could bottle feed abandoned puppies and kittens, could care for older pets needing extra time and expertise, and pets with a wide variety of special needs. After adopting several special needs pets who would otherwise have difficulty finding a forever home (the last two passed away last year), I found myself wanting to adopt every animal I fostered. knowing that wasn’t realistic, I realized pet sitting might be better outlet for me to direct my love for animals (Without the pain of not knowing if the pet I fostered would eventually find a loving home). And I have loved hosting happy pets ever since! My children are now in college, and after losing my precious older dog and cat a couple years ago, I now only have one cat we rescued during a storm. My ultimate goal is for both you and your pet to be comfortable and have peace of mind before and during the time you are away, and I strive to love and entertain them so much that they feel at home (or on vacation) until you come back for them. I work from home, allowing me to be available for your pet at almost all times - which is especially helpful with puppies/kittens, older, or disabled pets that need to be closely watched. (I have many years experience with disabled, sick or elderly pets). I am experienced with giving both oral and injected meds, expressions, helping them eat, exercise, etc. Because I only pet sit one animal family at a time, I am able to adjust to your pet(s) schedule. Whatever makes him/her most comfortable! I take the trust and safety of pets very seriously, only keeping one pet (or family of pets) at a time. I also document a daily diary of their experiences, and send pictures on a daily basis (unless requested otherwise). You can review the daily diary document (as well as information I prefer to obtain before pet sitting), in my photos section. This document includes the preferred vet and emergency center I utilize, although I am happy to contact your preferred vet if provided to me. I also have multiple friends who are veterinarians, and I never hesitate to contact them if I am at all concerned about any pet in my care. I prefer dogs be crate trained if they are young and active, but while I have a large double-sized crate, it is only used if we are all gone for a short time (for the dog’s safety and comfort). The rest of the time pets are welcome on the bed to sleep with us, on furniture, etc. If there is a reason the dog can’t be crated, please discuss it with me and we can come up with safest and best plan for your pet! I also have a room set up for pets in case they want to be alone or have quiet time. It is also helpful if you bring a blanket from home, so s/he is comforted by the familiar smells of you and their loving home!

About: I’m a responsible, loving, and attentive pet caretaker who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. With experience and genuine love for animals, I’m committed to giving them the attention and affection they deserve while you're away. I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, puppies, special needs and medications. As well as I respect and fulfill any pet parent's wishes! I provide you with updates through texts with pictures! I am a stay at home mom with a furbaby of our own, and I have complete open availability for overnight stays and play dates! "We have a large fenced in backyard that offers plenty of space for play and relaxation, nestled in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac. Our friendly 1.5-year-old Golden Retriever, Lucy, loves to play fetch and welcomes new friends with a wagging tail. Pets are treated like family in our home—they're welcome on our oversized sectional for snuggles, and even in bed if that’s their preference. Fresh water is always available, along with treats (with your permission), and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and happy

About: Having worked as a vet tech and former zoo aide, I genuinely love animals. I know all my pups will come with different personality types and needs. My kind disposition makes it easy for me to adjust to the needs of every dog I host so that they feel welcome and at home. If you book with me, your baby will get regular doggie walking time, they’ll get to go on runs in big open fields, and if time allows, a few beach visits! I live in a spacious apartment with a good amount of floor space for your fur baby to enjoy. Due to my not having a backyard on demand, we do have nearby doggie parks, and a running trail where we can go on runs! Regular walks are always included. I am working from home year round, so I am flexible when it comes to hosting your pup! If you are looking to set a long-term boarding schedule, we can definitely arrange something. My home is spacious and minimalist. Therefore your fur baby will not only be comfortable, but very safe within my home as it is regularly clutter free. I make sure they have fresh water everyday, and take them out at least 4 times a day. ✨NOTE✨ - We provide dog training! If you’re interested, please feel free to ask about this! I work from home year round so you can count on me to be home with your dog the majority of the time! 🐶 🐾 I’m extremely attentive and strive to provide the utmost care for all my furry guests! They won’t go a day unloved or improperly cared for while under my supervision. We also provide training upon request! Please feel free to ask about these services.

“Being our first time little our little pups for the first time, we were quite nervous and worried about leaving them for the day in a new environment. We were very quickly put as easy with Karla's amazing, calm and caring nature and obvious genuine love of animals. Our dogs took to her straight away and not only were ok for the day, but had an associate blast with Karla and her little Coco. She sent us updates, photos and videos that made us feel beyond at ease, but so happy that our little ones were having a great time! ☺️ We are delighted to have Karla as an amazing person to look after our pooches at times we need to be away in the future as we know they will have the best care and it actually be an enjoyable, fun adventure for them! Cannot recommend and thank Karla enough for her brilliant care and genuine love and gift she has for animals ☺️?”
