“Rosie had the best weekend with Brittanie and her family! She was loved and cared for like she was their own. Brittanie sent pictures every day to show me how much fun Rosie was having and communicated with me with how she was doing. I felt so comfortable having Rosie with her and knew she would get lots of attention and cuddles. I am already booking another stay. 100% would recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing environment for their fur baby.”

“What a wonderful experience my dog Izzy had with Marcy! Izzy is a 7 lb Morkie that is terrified of other dogs. The bigger the dog, the louder the dog, the more terrified she is, which makes boarding her difficult. Izzy had a great time playing with Marcy’s 5 lb. Betty Boo, so it was a great social experience for my dog. Marcy also is terrific - I knew my dog was getting the best of care in my absence, and all for a reasonable price. I will definitely use Marcy again and if your considering Marcy, don’t hesitate!”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lilo. When I picked up my Lilo she wagged her tail and it gave me a sigh of relief because I knew she had a great time. I will be using them again for any occasion if Lilo needs to be taken care of. I’m happy I chose you. Thank you!”

“I cannot express how amazing Mary is! She took such good care of my babies and kept me updated constantly. I was afraid of leaving my dogs behind for the first time but Mary just won us over from the second we did the meet and greet! She is so understanding and goes above and beyond for the pets she cares for. I am so thankful for the wonderful care my dogs received and I will definitely be a returning costumer!!!”

“Cant say enough wonderful things about Cyd Gracie enjoyed her stay and was treated like a princess Will definitely recommend Cyd and will definitely use her services again in the future!!”

“Karla was great. She was responsive and gave me regular updates with pics and videos. Benji made himself at home almost immediately and seemed to have a wonderful stay. I would definitely board Benji with Karla again without hesitation.”


About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for neighbors, family members, and friends since I was 10 years old. Through this experience, I have developed strong animal care skills and a genuine passion for working with pets.

“Holli and her family were absolutely wonderful. I felt at ease immediately leaving my baby with them. Even after coming home, she checked in to see how he was doing. Will definitely be using them again.”

“Jean (Charles) and his wife are absolutely amazing with Luna! She is always so excited to stay with them, and I peace of mind knowing she’s getting the absolute best care possible.”

“I 100% recommend Ana. I will definitely book again with her. She kept us informed of how Giddy was doing and sent us pictures and videos of him. He was very loved on his boarding with Ana. I could see he had a great time with his 2 new furry friends which loved to play with him. They are a very welcoming family. If you want a place where they love and take good care of your pet as much as you, you should book with Ana. ❤️”

“Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”

Lakeland pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Marty. She was such an absolute pleasure. She’s warm, friendly, and absolutely loves dogs. When I walked in, she had little beds made for them. Absolutely adorable. She sent photos with special designs, communicate communicated well, and went above and beyond. I’ll definitely use her again!

This was our first time using Rover so I was very nervous. We all know our pets are our babies! Our Zoro fell in LOVE with Danieris and Julia instantly and that alone calmed my nerves. They sent updates the whole time and expressed how much they enjoyed him. I would book with them everytime if I have the choice.

Cherisse took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, eating well, and getting the attention she needed. Cherisse sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Her home also has a fully fenced yard, so the dogs could safely roam and play. When my dogs are with Cherisse, I know they are in great hands.

Alberto is very friendly and interacted with my cat and sent photos while I was away. With having an anxious kitty, I’m glad to see she got comfortable there playing with his cat as well as curiously inspecting around and finding a high spot to look from above. She instinctively did what a cat does which makes me think all went well.

Maria took great care of Loki! Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she made sure he was treated with so much kindness and attention. I really appreciated how well she looked after him, Loki was happy and comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💙
