Dog Sitting in Lakeland

“Bailey is a very conscientious and thoughtful caretaker. She did a great job with my cat. She gave her lots of love and attention, and she was in excellent shape when I returned home. The cat and I agree — I will be using her again and my cat has a new friend.”

“Gage was great! He did a great job taking care of my pet. He was always on time, great at communicating with us while away and I know my dog had a great time and walks in the cold with him. He even came over when snowing!! Kudos Gage!!”

“Megan is the sweetest person ever! Our cat Zazuu adores her. She’s very caring and passionate about animals and you can tell she’s always willing to help. There was a slight problem with our apartment and Megan was kind enough to take care of it. I’m definitely calling her again! ♥️”

About: Lifelong experience with dogs and my deep understanding of their needs. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was born, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. I’ve also cared for dogs after surgery, providing gentle, attentive support during recovery — including medication, mobility help, and emotional comfort. Whether your pup needs active playtime or quiet cuddles, I adapt to their personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to dedicate quality time daily or weekly for walks, play, feeding, and any special care your pet needs. At my home, your dog will enjoy a very large fenced yard and the company of my three well-trained dogs, ensuring fun and social time. When caring at your home, I focus closely on your dog’s individual needs, routines, and comfort to provide attentive, personalized care.

About: I’m a professional pet sitter and Fear Free Certified. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, including seniors, reactive dogs, and those needing medication support. I’m trained in giving injections, oral medications and inhalers, and I also have rabbit care training and experience with small pets. I limit Rover bookings to ensure each pet receives attentive, personalized care. My goal is to provide low-stress, high-quality experiences rooted in patience, trust, and compassion. For overnight stays, I arrive between 6–8 PM and stay 12 hours to cover the evening, night, and morning routines. I also offer one 30-minute mid-day drop-in visit or walk upon request for overnight clients. For standalone drop-in visits or dog walks, I have more flexibility throughout the day and will do my best to accommodate preferred timing. For boarding in my home, I work from home but do come and go during the day for pet visits and meetings. I only accept dogs on a case-by-case basis because I have five cats. If accepted, we’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible, providing daily enrichment, affection, and supervision. I follow Fear Free principles to provide a safe, calm environment where pets can thrive. I avoid using or supporting tools that increase fear, anxiety, or stress — such as shock collars or electric fencing. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible while maintaining a peaceful, respectful environment. In my home, we only board dogs on a case-by-case basis due to having five cats, and I supervise all interactions carefully. Your pet’s emotional well-being and safety are always my top priorities.

About: From my experience in shelter care and veterinary medicine, I am very comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I have dealt with strays and owned pets from every imaginable background, and I believe every animal is worthy of patience, respect, and affection. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule for watching your dogs and cats! I typically let my own dogs out about 4-5 times a day, and they each have their own feeding schedule that I attend to as needed. I am very flexible right now, and would also be available to do fluids, injections, and other specific medical and behavioral needs (e.g., extra walks, extra play time, etc.). I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs, and two sweet cats, to keep your furbaby company. I am comfortable crating dogs and have an extra crate for a small-medium dog. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special needs, so I am perfectly comfortable housing and caring for dogs who have their own special needs. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I am very used to dealing with seizures and the safety precautions that go along with them. These dogs have also never met a stranger, and our home is an overall very welcoming environment to all creatures (I even have a pet spider!).

About: As an Ex-Military Military Dog handler and recently retired from Kroger in Management, plus sold a Mission Flour tortilla route, looking for a part time job to keep myself busy, make a difference in lives, and make a little money. I love dogs, also been my passion from day I signed on the dotted line with the Air Force. As a former military dog handler and high-paced retail manager, I recently wrapped up a rewarding and demanding career—including the successful sale of my Mission Flour tortilla route. After years of leading busy teams and managing the fast-paced world of retail, I’m now retired and looking for a part-time opportunity to stay active, make a meaningful difference, and earn a little extra income. Dogs have been a lifelong passion of mine, ever since the day I signed on the dotted line with the Air Force. I’d love the opportunity to put that passion and experience to good use. I have a heavy-duty dog gate that separates my kitchen from the living room, giving dogs a safe and comfortable space to move around. I also have a nice, fenced-in backyard and a dog door that leads out to the patio. My home is in a great, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I’d love to provide a caring and secure environment for your dog.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, but I have taken care of dogs as a job for more than 5 years. I have experience with elderly dogs, disabled dogs, and younger dogs. I have experience giving injectable medicine to dogs and medicine by mouth. I am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and would love to meet yours! I am home for a couple months before moving away for school and would love to take care of your animals :) I just graduated college and I will be moving back to Memphis for a short period before moving abroad. I have been missing taking care of pets and decided with my extra time now, I would love to spend time with your animals! I am able to follow any directions given to me about your animals. I can crate them, walk them at certain times, feed them at certain times, etc. Anything you need I am confident I can do it!

About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. From a young age, I’ve felt a deep emotional bond with animals — the kind of connection that shaped my life and made me certain I’d grow up to care for them. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs special care or medication, I’m here to provide compassionate, attentive support tailored to their needs. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey was caring for my dog, Flopsy, through her battle with cancer. She had a limb amputated, and I was by her side every step of the way during her rehabilitation and throughout her final months. That experience deepened my empathy, patience, and understanding of what animals and their families go through — and it taught me how powerful love and trust can be in healing. I’m very patient and understand that some pets take a little extra time to warm up — and that’s perfectly okay. I believe in clear, thoughtful communication, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! Currently, I’m home full-time and have one dog and two cats who all get along well. This means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. I’m available to house sit or host pets in my home, as long as your pet is comfortable with a resident dog and two friendly cats. I’m also happy to provide walks, park trips, or anything else your furry family member may need. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My home is calm, pet-friendly, and filled with love. I live with one gentle dog and two friendly cats who are used to sharing their space with new furry friends. If your pet is comfortable around other animals, I’d love to welcome them here! I’m also available to house sit if your pet feels more secure in their own environment. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, or just lots of cuddles, I’m happy to follow your routines closely so your pet feels safe and cared for every step of the way.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. I’ve fostered puppies, cared for family dogs, and truly enjoy giving them love, attention, and a safe, happy space. Even with a FT Job I am flexible to make time in the morning, lunch breaks, and evenings to care for pets, whether it be for potty breaks, meals, or short walks I currently don’t offer care in my home. However, I am happy to provide loving, reliable care in your home where your pet feels most safe and comfortable.

“She took great care of my big boy, Angus! Definitely a five star sitter!”

“Nikaila was a fantastic pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dogs and left us photos and comments of her stay. We were so comforted to know our babies were in good hands!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. My parents used to foster dogs all the time! I have experience with all things dogs!! I currently have a flexible part time job, so I am very flexible. I am available on most weekends. I am able to come mornings & nights! I have 3 dogs of my own, so boarding them at my home would not be ideal. Pet care at the owner’s home would be best!

About: I grew up with dogs and a cat, and when I moved into my own home, my husband and I adopted our dog Conley. That was five years ago. I have cared for my own dog, my parents' dog, and my sister's dog as needed over the years including feeding, walking, playing, and giving medication. I'm currently a freelancer, so I have plenty of time to work my schedule based on your needs during the day. My best availability is during the work day, but I can work with you based on your needs. I am able to meet with you to understand the needs of your dog for each walk or visit in your home. If you are interested in a doggy day-care, I have a large fenced backyard. I do have a 50 lb dog who is very sweet and loves to play, so your dog can spend plenty of time running freely and getting any and all energy out.

About: I've been around dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments throughout my life! I love walking and talking to pups, and making sure that they have a fulfilling, enriched life on a daily basis. I just graduated from college and am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang out with and care for your pets! I care for your precious pets in your home with the same careful attention and love with which I care for my own in mine! I know just how much they mean to you as members of your family.

About: I am a huge animal lover and I've lived/cared for pets my entire life! In my eyes, pets are part of the family and should be treated that way. I currently live in a 5 bedroom house with my Australian Shepherd & Family (husband + 5 kids). I have a fenced in back yard (.5 acres) that gets put to good use. I also live in a great neighborhood that allows me to walk the dogs easily. I like to keep my babies (human & fur) active. We are always in the back playing fetch with the dogs and running around until we are tired out! My dog is a lover and I believe that is all in the way that he was raised. I'm a very reliable, experienced, and responsible individual and I would love to be a companion to your fur baby! I currently work full time FROM HOME. My schedule is extremely flexible. I’m always up early to ensure the pups are fed and am always home during the day/night for potty breaks. We have a fenced in yard and take walks! I’m very careful with how the dogs interact outside to ensure they stay in the gate. It has a lock and is always closed.

“Our two fur babies loved the time and attention that Sophia gave them. My wife and I highly recommend her and plan on using her services again.”
