We have booked with Ruth on multiple occasions and she is our go to, when we need our kitty to be sitted. She ensures to get everything right and has developed a great relationship with our cat, neither he nor we have ever been disappointed with her! She's the best :)”
“DeDe did a great job. We have 5 cats, including kittens of varying ages, that had to be fed separately to keep the adults from gobbling up all the food. She sent us daily pictures showing everyone eating and playing. She handles it well and everyone was happy and fed when we got home. Best of all our house didn't smell like a litter box. She is a master scooper. We will definitely have DeDe come back and recommend her.”

“Matt and Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my cats. It was so great getting pictures everyday and they took so many great ones! It’s nice not having to worry that your pets are fed and taken care of. I’d definitely ask for them again!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.
“Andrea took amazing care of our cat. She provided picture updates each time she complete a drop-in visit. We were extremely happy with the care Andrea provided! Thank you, Andrea!”
About: I’ve always had a big heart for dogs. Caring for them comes naturally to me as I truly love being around them, giving them attention, love, and companionship. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very flexible and love spending time with dogs. I can adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, give them lots of attention, and keep their environment clean and calm. Playtime, walks, and cuddle time are always included!
“Mindy and her daughter were amazing! They made sure my cat was taken care of, provided timely feedback and photos, and went above and beyond in every way! I would not hesitate to have them care for my pets again!”
About: Life-long animal lover and future vet, dedicated to providing expert care and comfort for your furry babies. This will also be my 3rd year taking veterinary classes! I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time on my hands and I’d still be doing this when school starts back up. I have a fenced in backyard and I have 2 Yorkies that love meeting other dogs and cats. I have one cat that is also very friendly.
About: I have cared for dogs for over 30 years. Mine, friends etc. I have watched dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies. Please no snakes. No issue with multiple animals. I do ask that if the dogs are more than 25 lbs they walk easily without pulling on the leash. I have physical limitations and cannot safely handle strong pulling dogs for walks. This is my full time job. If I have availability I can help you. I am open for last minute bookings because I don’t have another job. I only care for dogs in the clients home. If a situation arose where I needed to care for a dog in my home I have a fully fenced large back yard and a crate for them to feel comfortable in.
About: My name is Nikayla G., Nikki for short, and I am great with dogs. As a child, the first way I ever made my own money was by walking dogs in my neighborhood and even overnight dog sitting for a teacher at my school. I know dogs need nice long walks and a lot of play time which I am very able to provide. I will care for your dog like he/she were my own and I’ll care for any other pets you may have. I’m very patient and attentive, for any one who may have a brand new puppy that is still being potty trained. If you choose me to be your dog sitter/walker, I will do all I can to make your dog happy. I currently work in downtown Lakeland, 9am-4:30pm, M-F. My job is flexible, therefore, I am able to check on your animals during my lunch break and I am able to work remotely on some days, so I could potentially be with your animal all day. My weekends are free, outside of a few basic errands. I do not care for animals in my home, as I am unable to because I am renting. However, when I am in someone else’s home, I make sure to follow any and all instructions left to me by the owners. If your animal needs any sort of medication, I prefer you leave me written instructions.
