Dog Walkers in Lakeland Highlands, FL

“I want to thank Bethany and Nathan for being so awesome! They have cared for my baby Angel several times now. They are very reliable and responsive. I have been accomadated for last minute sittings. I am a nurse and sometimes get called into work a 12 hour shift at the last minute. I call Bethany and she sits for Angel with no problem. I feel very comfortable leaving Angel with Bethany, I don't have to worry about her. I can focus on what I'm doing with no fears about Angel. If you are a pet parent you know how important it is to find someone knowledgeable and reliable to care for your pet who is like your child. You can feel safe and secure that Bethany and Nathan will treat your pet just like their own. Just to wrap up I want to say that from the first time Angel meet Bethany and Nathan she took to them like she has never done before. I was amazed and knew then I had found the right person's to sit for Angel whom I love very much.”

About: As a passionate pet lover, what sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing personalized and attentive care to each pet. I have extensive experience in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits and social skills from a young age. Additionally, I am well-versed in senior pet care, offering gentle and patient support tailored to their unique needs. My genuine love for animals drives me to go above and beyond, ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and loved under my care. I’m home for the summer and working part time as an interior design intern. I am home most days so I will be able to give the upmost care and attention to your pet. I offer both in-home and client-home pet care services, each tailored to meet the unique needs of the pets and their owners. **In My Home:** Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I provide a comfortable space with plenty of toys and cozy resting areas. Regular exercise, playtime, and cuddles are a part of the daily routine. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and adhere to any special dietary requirements. With constant supervision, your pet will never feel alone or neglected. **In Your Home:** I ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow your specified routines for feeding, exercise, and playtime, maintaining consistency for your pet's well-being. I am attentive to their needs, providing companionship and care while you're away. For puppies, I continue with their training and socialization, and for senior pets, I offer gentle and patient care tailored to their needs. In both settings, my top priority is the happiness and health of your pet. My approach is to treat every pet as if they were my own, providing the love and attention they deserve.

About: I’ve had experience with different pets all my life. I was lucky enough to grow up with parents that never turned away a pet I wanted: cat, dog, frog, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, you name it. I’ve loved it and cared for it. We currently have two Rottweilers and a cat. One dog unfortunately has stomach issues, seizures, arthritis and severe skin allergies. I am very well accustomed to administering medications, whether oral or injections, as I am an RN who is a current stay at home mom. I went back to work as an RN for a while but I am back at home and reopen for bookings! I am generally available from 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, unless there’s an appointment I need to attend. I am excited to get back to providing loving care for my clients! I have had great success with great clients that have given instructions on how their pets like to be greeted and behave. My pet parents know their babies best so I always use their suggestions. Sometimes it’s with treats, sometimes it’s with a ball, and sometimes it’s with creating space and honoring their wishes (usually cats lol).

“Margot loves her walks and time with Kylee! So thankful we found an awesome doggie walker! I feel guilty for being unable to do long walks so it is amazing knowing Margie’s having a great time when we’re apart!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. My heart is always happy with pets, I enjoy to play with them, feed, bath, walk or just snuggle together. I work in my home office, so I’m able to take care of the pets in my house every day and night in a week. I have a couple doggy parks nearby so I can take pets every day to park. Also I like to walk around lakes and natural trails so will have a lots of fun together.

About: I’ve had dogs in my house for my entire life. Seriously, not a single day without a dog! I currently have 2 mini dachshunds, which if you know, can be known as one of the trickiest breeds. They are my babies, and they’ve inspired me to use my love of animals for good! I also have experience volunteering at the SPCA, caring for both small and large breeds. I work from home and have opportunities throughout the day to use my time for animal care. I live in a highly residential area that puts me very close to a lot of homes who may need care. I will follow the owner’s directions exactly, and treat their dogs as my own. I love spending time outside, allowing the dogs to get plenty of fresh air and play time.

“Ruth does an excellent job caring for my puppies! She is prompt in response to any communication about their visits or changes in my work schedule, adjusts her schedule when possible to take them out earlier or later, and is easy to communicate with. She’s been overly helpful today especially when I forgot to put the lock box on my door on the way out and had a full schedule at work, she even stopped by to get the key where otherwise my puppies would have been stuck with no potty or exercise breaks for hours. These two are full of energy so I know they appreciated the extra play time they got together today also! We are very grateful for Ruth and her excellent dog walking services.”

About: I have always had an admiration for animals no matter the type. But for some reason the love that you get in return from a dog is just indescribable. I know that it is always a weary feeling to leave your babies in the care of someone else. But it definitely helps to know that the person caring for your pet shares the same passion that you do. I never thought that I would own small dogs but I am actually glad that I do have two Chihuahuas now because I can take them almost anywhere! There has been an occasional weekend trip where I haven't been able to bring the pups along and it just didn't feel the same having to leave them behind. So if you have to leave them, leave them with someone who will care for them just as well as their own! I definitely prioritize my pets before any plans are made! No matter the time of day, week or year. They are my fur babies and anyone that knows me will agree! Depending on the environment or location, I would definitely say to use a leash first and foremost. I would also like to know if you know about the other animals in the area, just to provide as much safety as possible.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a dog and two cats and honestly, I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a furry friend by my side. I’ve always been surrounded by animals, from family pets to farm animals, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. Now that I’m a college student, I really miss having animals around, so I’m excited to share my love and care with your pets! Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll always make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved! I am currently in a social work graduate program, so I am in an internship during the weekdays 9am-4pm. I can usually work around those times, and I try to be as flexible as I can, so please reach out even if my calendar says I’m not available! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two friendly cats (who can easily be separated if needed), a screened-in patio perfect for lounging, and access to a dog park and safe walking trail nearby. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I’m comfortable following any specific care routines or instructions you provide, and I’m also very intuitive when it comes to understanding an animal’s needs and emotions. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to make them feel secure while you’re away, I’m happy to provide that love and attention.

“Once again Karla has come to our rescue. I needed nightly walks for a week. She braved some of the coldest days and walked them every evening to my doggies delight to see their favorite sitter. Much appreciated!”

About: I will always treat your pets as my own, ensuring love and safety in your absence. My biggest concern as a pet owner is trusting others with them so I can promise you their safety will be my number one priority. I work from home and set my own schedule making it easy to put your pets needs first. My schedule makes it easy to come and go taking your pets for walks, playing with them or feeding them throughout the day. Walks are my dogs favorite, I have a senior beagle and a 2 year old golden doodle so I am versatile with all ages and sizes.

About: I have 5 years of hands-on pet experience caring for dogs of all personalities and needs. My friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry friends such as walking, bathing, feeding, or even just hanging out while they are gone! I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in an emergency clinic which has expanded my knowledge on animal behavior, safety, and health, so I am comfortable helping pets who need extra care and monitoring them for any changes in behavior or health. Large or high-strength dogs are not a good fit for me yet, but small to medium sized dogs are right up my alley! However, I will always prioritize the safety for both me and your pet. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved while you are away! I am currently working overnights full time from 10p-6a, so my weekday availability is best for early afternoon drop-ins and walks, depending on my schedule and rest. However, I can be flexible! I am fully available on Saturdays and Sundays with flexible scheduling throughout the day. I always communicate clearly to make sure your pet can get the attention they deserve! I prioritize safe and reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment! With my background as a veterinary assistant, I am very attentive to detail and am quick to notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or health. I am very respectful of others spaces, I keep things clean, and love to provide regular updates to keep you at ease while your pet is in my hands!

About: I love animals! I have had dogs my whole life, currently have a cat, and am certain I can take care of your pets with great care! I have cared for dogs and cats in their homes while their owners have been away for a few days at a time. I recently moved back to the area, and I am currently available full time throughout the week to care for your pets, whether for walks or housesitting! I will follow any and all instructions provided to me to care for your pet and I will shower them with extra love and snuggles! If an overnight stay is needed, I will also keep your home clean!

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.

“Amanda was always so prompt, efficient, and compassionate when taking care of my mother-in-law's dog. I think you so much for going above and beyond.”
