Dog Walking Lakeland

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors care for their dogs—whether that meant daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or watching them in my own home. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.

“Michelle was great with Ranger! Prompt with her arrival, and spent the full time with him. He was able to get some energy out and not be alone all day which is exactly what he needed! We will continue booking with Michelle 😁”

“Al was great with Marley today. He clearly understands dogs and works with them often. He has a very calm demeanor and Marley took to him immediately. We highly recommend Al for anyone looking for help with their furry friend, and we will surely use him again in the near future!”

About: I just made the compassionate choice to set my dog free from his pain. I was a dad to a 7 1/2 year old Schnauzer mix who was just the best. I used to watch pups for teachers, coaches, and family members before I moved out and got my pup! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes and would love to get to spend time with your pup too. I work a hybrid schedule right now, so I’m usually available around lunch times or in a pinch to go make an appearance for your pup and make sure they’re taken care of. Depending on your needs I can usually be flexible with my time to make things work. My house has a fenced in yard, and I love going outside with dogs to play, throw the ball, or just hang out with them. Wherever I need to be for them, I’m there! They will be able to explore my house, be in furniture.

About: I've been pet/house sitting for eight years now via word of mouth. All sizes of dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I believe part of why I can connect with animals well is getting to know each pet's personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in daily walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, basic medication if needed, and plenty of love/attention. I understand how important routines are to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I'm committed to that reliable and attentive care. I'm more than happy to update you with as many photos and messages as needed for your peace of mind. Lastly, in case of an emergency or even simply needing a resource, my sister works at a vet clinic I can always contact. I'm currently between jobs after moving and have an open calendar. I'm working on securing a part-time remote job that I can work around your pets needs with. Pets will be cared for in your home by not merely following instructions but also paying attention to detail, maintaining routine, and building trust with them. I'll make sure they have a safe environment, fresh water, and a clean/tidy space, making your time away from them as stress-free as possible. Exceptional pet care goes beyond meeting the bare minimum. I always emphasize caring for that pet's needs, so whether that's cuddles, playtime, long walks, or simple quiet companionship, I'm happy to match their personality/energy to create an enriching experience. Every owner, pet, and house is treated with respect and professionalism.

About: I have raised and loved two boxer dogs over the past 25 years and also 5 stray cats/kittens in this time period. Walks are fun. I am retired for 15 months now so I have a very flexible schedule but I do have seasonal part time local job. I love to be outside and take walks on a regular basis. I was a dog and cat owner for decades. I took them to all their vet appointments over the years. My dogs were always on a leash for walks.

“Tara was wonderful with our puppy. She was very personable on our meet and greet providing us with valuable advice with training our pup. She was on time and her communication throughout each session was certainly appreciated.”

About: About Me I have shared my life with animals since childhood, and caring for pets is second nature to me. I raised my pug Madison from a tiny puppy all the way through her senior years, and she was a beloved part of my family until she passed at 14 years old. That kind of long-term commitment taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize what an animal needs even when they can't tell you. Today I have two wonderful dogs of my own: Keith, a spirited pug, and Othis, a friendly lab. Between them I stay well practiced in the daily rhythms of dog care, from energetic walks to quiet companionship. Services I Offer I provide flexible, reliable pet care tailored to your needs. This includes house-sitting your dogs while you're away, taking them on walks to keep them happy and exercised, and dropping by during the day to let them out, refresh water, and give them attention. Whether you need someone for a single afternoon or an extended stay, I'm happy to build a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and cared for in their own familiar environment. My Experience Dogs have been a constant throughout my life, so I understand their personalities, energy levels, and quirks. I'm also very comfortable with cats, having had several of my own over the years. I know how to respect a cat's independence while making sure they're fed, clean, and content. From playful puppies to easygoing seniors, I adapt my care to fit each animal's temperament and stage of life. Availability I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend meaningful time with your pets rather than rushing through a quick visit. I can accommodate daytime walks and let-outs, midday check-ins, and overnight house-sitting depending on your schedule. Your pets will get genuine attention and companionship, not just a hurried stop. I would love the chance to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you're away. I work remote, so I’m home and can let dogs out, walk them or house sit. I am available to take your dog to the vet. At my house, I do have a fenced in yard. I also have crates. I do prefer to watch dogs at the clients house because a dog is more comfortable in its own environment.
