Dog Sitting in Lakeland

About: I offer dedicated, highly organized care tailored completely to your fur baby's established routine. My schedule allows me to provide consistent mid-day walks and drop-in visits when your pet needs them most. My pet care journey includes extensive, specialized experience with animals at all stages of life. I have successfully raised and trained multiple litters of puppies, giving me a deep understanding of early behavioral training, socialization, and the patience required for young dogs. Additionally, I have hands-on experience raising and fostering young kittens from just 3 weeks old, both those transitioning to solid food, and litters alongside their mothers, which has taught me to be exceptionally attentive to health, safety, and early-stage socialization. Because I don't work a traditional 9 to 5 job, my schedule is exceptionally flexible and open. My weekly routine is built around a consistent daily schedule, which allows me to easily dedicate prime morning and midday windows to your pets when they need a break, a walk, or a feeding the most. While I do manage a few personal appointments during the week, my days are highly predictable. This structured routine means I can provide your fur baby with rock-solid reliability, consistent timing, and the focused attention they deserve. When providing drop-in visits or mid-day walks, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and vigilance. Inside your home, I strictly adhere to your exact feeding guidelines, ensure fresh water is always available, and meticulously follow your security routines, including double-checking door locks, securing gates, and setting alarms exactly as instructed. Out on walks, my focus is entirely on your dog. I practice low-stress handling, maintain total awareness of our surroundings to avoid reactive wildlife or loose dogs, and keep a firm, secure grip on the leash at all times. Because of my background managing energetic puppy litters and young fosters, I am naturally geared toward proactive safety, anticipating risks before they happen so your fur baby stays safe, happy, and comfortable every step of the way.

About: I’ve been taking care for dogs for over four years, and during that time, I’ve gained experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. For the past few years, I’ve been regularly taking care of my neighbors’ pets, providing everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m passionate about dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playing, going on walks, or just relaxing together. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently a full-time nursing student at the University of Memphis, but my schedule is quite flexible as of right now since I’m on summer break. I can easily find time throughout the day to check in on your pets and provide the care they need. Since pet sitting is my primary job, I have even more flexibility on weekends and can dedicate extra time to watching and caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or overnight stays, I’m happy to accommodate your needs When it comes to caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I keep their environment familiar and stress-free by providing plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. I aim to create a positive, safe experience that helps your pets feel relaxed and happy in their own space.

“Sweet girl, took good care of our cat! She handled it like a champ even though my cat doesn’t like anyone outside of me. Hannah even taught me how to safely clip my cat’s nails which I hadn’t done since I usually had to sneak and do while she was asleep. LOL. Hannah did great and we’ll def use her again.”

About: I’m a college student and a big dog lover. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and taking care of them, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ve worked in jobs where I had to be responsible and stay calm under pressure, so I’m someone you can trust to handle different situations and follow instructions. I’m patient and pretty good at reading behavior, so I’m comfortable with dogs that are energetic, shy, or need a little extra time to warm up. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. I’m also easy to communicate with and will keep you updated while you’re away. I am available for walks and sitting most days throughout the week. Inquire with me about my schedule! Willing to be flexible and work around the client’s needs! I care for pets in the client’s home and stick closely to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and care, and make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable. I also keep the home clean, respect the space, and provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

“Madison is great!”

“Brooke was amazing and took such great care of my two cats while I was away. She was a great communicator and always told me when she was heading to my place. She also always left a thorough review of each visit with pictures included. I was confident that the cats got the best care possible!!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I was raised on a farm, where caring for a wide variety of animals became second nature. That background gives me a strong sense of responsibility and an instinct for understanding each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins starting at 4:30 PM during the week. I am completely free on weekdays. If you’re looking for more extended care, I also offer house sitting and can often work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to spend more consistent time with your pets. I aim to be flexible and communicative, so we can find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets’ needs! I tailor my care to each pet and service. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and consistent care. I also have personal experience with shy pets, I adopted my cat Athena at 4 months old from the Memphis Animal Shelter. She was very skittish and required a lot of patience, understanding her needs, and respecting her space when she wanted to be left alone. She is now 8 years old and thriving, and that experience has taught me how to read behavior and adjust care to each animal’s comfort level. No matter the setting, my goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and well cared for!

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.

“Mackenzie was great! She was kind, communicative, and my cat instantly loved her. Everything went smoothly, and I felt totally at ease while I was away. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for 35 plus years. Currently we all work hard to maintain our cat Cricket’s luxurious life of sleep treats eat and repeat. With 10 years experience being a Housekeeper I had the privilege of meeting some special 4 legged family members who in turn I began to pet sit for. I’ve done lots of drop in visits for cats and dogs. Now that I’m a semi-empty nester with one child still in college I’d love to meet and help with your pet. Thanks for considering me! I’m currently a homemaker and volunteer with our church including Sunday School and a Kids church teacher. I have lots availability at the moment and openings for weekdays and weekends. My backyard is fenced and I have one indoor cat. I prefer to do drop ins or daily walks at this time weekdays and weekends.

About: Animals are human. I’m very patient and lovable. We loss out pet Yorkie of old age the age of 14. We travel played in park did videos. So I think it’s my calling to help your pet friendly member to live a humble life like my pet Lexy. I love cats also. I work hour(9-4pm)So I can be a very helpful in the evenings and off on the weekends and holidays. My daughter is at an age that she’s very mature and loves pets. Well I don’t like cages so I make it pet friendly like it’s they home. Make them feel comfortable and safe. If they like my singing a d dancing we should work well.

About: I have a Bachelors in Biology, with a special interest in animal behavior (I took several classes on this!). I am also a parent to a sweet cat named Lainey, who I adopted last year. Additionally, I helped walk my dad’s dogs (medium size, one is a blue heeler) for a year or two. I don’t have a full-time job currently, so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I can come almost any time of the day to check on or walk your lovely pets. I have my own doggie bags, but please provide me with your dog’s typical walking equipment. I am very aware of how animals behave, so I’ll keep a very good eye on your pets to make sure they’re safe and happy.

About: Hello- I am currently a college student and a mom finishing up my master’s degree. My husband and I own four cats and a Husky. My oldest cat is twelve, and I've had him since I was sixteen. He has asthma and has an issue with muscle deterioration due to the steroids he is on for the asthma, so I do administer his medications daily. I have experience giving dogs and cats pill and liquid medications, understand behavior of dogs and cats quite well and since we have a Husky, I work with high-energy dogs too. I've had the pleasure of being around animals all of my life, and I am comfortable being around them 24/7. If you would like for me to house-sit in your own home, please know that I cannot do overnight stays as I have my own babies to take care of, but would happily stay for part of the daytime. You must be aware that since I own animals as well, if you know your pet has problems with the smell of other animals this could potentially lead to a bad outcome for myself or your pet due to territorial issues (things like pet aggression, jealousy, nervousness, overall behavioral channges in your pet that could lead to injury to myself). Giving me the opportunity to care for your furbaby means I can provide for my family and spend valuable time with my child while also focusing on my studies. I love to be active with animals, take them on runs and to the park, play fetch, and get those zoomies going! Send me a message if you'd like to book with me! Please know due to appointment scheduling, I may or may not be available at certain times during the week and will give you a heads up if there are any conflicts. Thank you! 😊 I do currently work part-time doing Uber Eats to bring in some extra income, so I am pretty flexible during the mornings and the afternoons. I can easily crate your dog if needed so long as a crate is already provided. If we do go on walks and come across another animal that your pet doesn't care for, I will walk in another direction to avoid confrontation. I also carry mace with me just in case of an animal attack so I can better protect myself and your baby as well.

“Bailey was phenomenal with our pups! She kept us informed and was always on time. She gave a ton of extra effort to our pups while we were away!”

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!).
