Dog Walking Lakeland

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have cared for many of my own over the years. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic, so I’m familiar with basic health care and how to keep pets safe and happy. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds and making sure they get the love and attention they deserve. While I work full-time, I make sure dogs in my care get plenty of attention and activity after work. We spend time playing in the backyard, relaxing, and giving lots of affection. My daughter loves being involved and helps make sure every dog feels extra loved. We also enjoy going on walks when possible to keep dogs happy and active. I treat every pet like part of the family! In my home, they’ll enjoy a safe, relaxed environment with a fenced yard for playtime, lots of attention, and plenty of affection. I also have two dogs who are great companions for friendly pups. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable.

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: 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.

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.

“Thanks Morgan!!”

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 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. I also made quite a few animal friends as a Caregiver! 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.

“My girl gets sooooo excited to see Shelly at the for for their walk. She is in excellent hands and I never have to worry she is being taken care of.”

About: Animals are my ❤️. I treat your pets like my own so that you can have a worry free day. My priorities are that your pets are safe, healthy and happy. I own my own consultancy business that is remote. My hours are extremely flexible and that allows me to be available to meet your pet’s needs. Safety is my number one priority. I have gotten that call when a dog sitter has accidentally let my dogs out, so I know first hand how important safety is. I take extra precautions to make sure your animal is safe and healthy. For example, I like to enter the home through the garage, shutting the door behind me, so that when entering a home, the animal would be in the garage if it tried to dart out.
