Dog Sitting in Lakewood Ranch

About: Hi, my name is Kelly, and I have taken care of numerous animal species ranging from canines to reptiles. 🐶 I am excellent at training puppies, and I am experienced with special needs animals (my family dog was diabetic). I have a small fenced yard, and a large lanai area for the dogs to sunbathe in. ☀️ With your permission, they can swim in our pool!! The dogs love cooling down on our tile floors after a nice walk. My house is roughly 2,000sq ft and we sometimes section it off with a gate to provide my cat a secured, calm area. My partner works from home, so somebody will always be around to give your fur baby attention. 😁 A little about me- I love animals, nature and traveling. 🌴 ✈️ I have a bachelors degree, and I am currently a high school history teacher. 🍎 I have two adventure dogs, and one cat (acclimated to canines). McKenna also holds a bachelors degree. She grew up with dogs. She loves to go on long walks with the pups, and cooking is her favorite hobby. If you prefer somebody to stay at your house, I can ensure you my dogs and cat will not be present. Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business and trust. I look forward to meeting your babies! ☺️ Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns. I respond quickly. I will make sure to walk your baby in the morning and in the evening. McKenna works from home, so your dogs will never be unsupervised! I have a small fenced in yard and a large lanai. The dogs love to sunbathe in the lanai and swim in the pool. We have a large home that can be sectioned off. This works great if your baby is shy! If I stay at your home, I can ensure you we will go on lots of walks.

About: I grew up with border collies and cats (the former obviously needing heaps of exercise)! I absolutely love dogs and cats and while I don't have my own, it gives me the time and energy needed to take care of yours. I have experience with oral pet medication, senior pups, overnight care and more! I'm currently on sabbatical from my recruiting job and using this time to work on my photography, do some traveling and just enjoy life a bit. Part of enjoying life is being around animals :). But I have a very flexible schedule these days. I'm not able to have pets where I live, so if overnight care or longer visits are needed, I would prefer to do so in your own home. I'm happy and able to use crates if that's preferred. I'm comfortable in all household environments.

“Andrea was great! She was punctual and very sweet. My cat loved her and I knew she was in good hands with Andrea! I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve dealt with small to large pups in different breeds. I’ve handled all kinds of request like clothing when it’s raining or cold etc. I’m here to service you! I have a doggie and had her for four years and babysat other dogs two years before her. I work from home so my schedule is open to step away and attend to the doggies! I tend to take mine to the park down the street and go on walks three times a day. The doggies are free to roam around my home and have a comfy couch to chill on. There’s plenty of roaming space and toys that I keep! each dog has their own food and water bowl. In clients home I will follow any directions given.

“Amber was excellent and punctual. Great communication. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Craig and Karli were awesome with my dog Koda! They were punctual and played with her, took her on short walks. I very much appreciated the photos and comments while I was away. Highly recommended!”

About: I have been around dogs, my entire life! As a child we always had at least one dog. As an adult, we have always had one or two dogs. Right now I have a golden retriever. I appreciate how very important it is to have someone look after your dog who understands how important they are to your family! As an empty nester, I now have more time on my hands to help others and being around dogs (pets) brings me joy. I am very reliable and hope to hear from you! I am self-employed and have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m also pretty available on the weekends, but notice is always appreciated. The more notice I have the better I can accommodate more people. I am happy to come to your home and follow any instructions that you leave for me and take great care of your home and your dog/cat.

About: I have been around dogs all of my life. I recently lost my last fur baby and am not ready to replace her. I work full time, and need encouragement to get outside and exercise without the pleading eyes of my own dog. I will happily walk your dog and make sure they are safe, well and happy. I work full time, but am available for early morning, evening and weekend walks and care. I am available early morning (before 7.00) and evenings (after 6), and weekends. I am also available on most major holidays for walking or visiting. I am a responsible person. I will make sure your animals are safe, happy and not alone. I will leave your home neat and secure.

About: I have loved and cared for various pets throughout my life, from snakes, to Great Danes! My family refers to me as the, "animal whisperer", and I pride myself on my ability to care for a number of different animals while respecting the individual needs and wants of pets and owners alike. Since I have my own kitty at home, I understand the importance of timely and quality care. I am enrolled in school online, which allows for a flexible schedule, meaning most of the time I am available and willing to help! I know what it takes to ensure safety and trust with both dogs, and cats. While in my care, your pets will get my upmost attention and love. I am a big rule follower, so there is no need to worry about me following any requirements, restrictions or preferences you may have for your pet. Safety is my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals since I was 12. I’ve had almost every single kind of pet and have learned how to walk, bathe, feed, etc. I’ve also taken care of many other friends animals. I’m working part time and taking classes this summer, so I will mostly be available weekends and early mornings or nights! I can make time whenever. I have a fenced in yard along with a big play area. Will be taken care of mainly outside and have a sleeping area. Outside bath area.

“Amazing and phenomenal sitter. Has gone more than above and beyond for my dog and I. Will be booking every time I go on a new trip 100% recommended !”

About: I have been a pet sitter in my home for 25 years and have had dogs since I was 10 years old. I accept all breeds as all dogs are the same in my eyes. I trained all of my own dogs as well as helped friends and neighbors with their own animals. It is a daunting task trying to find that reliable special someone you can trust your pet with. You want to make sure they are not stressed out because you are gone. I find that having a pet myself helps them forget about your being absent. They have an instant friend to play and bond with. So if you want someone who will love and care for your pet while your away Puppyboysmom is the place to stay. My husband Keith is also a dog lover and enjoys all the pups we have in our care. He helps out with all pups. Prefer dogs over 2 years old as Tahoe is a senior dog. I also require a meet and greet to ensure both pups are happy. Pick up or drop off additional 25.00 for each way. I work from home and am not gone more than a 5 hours at a time. My husband is a dog lover as well and is also home with me to help care for pups. He and I are a team with the care for all guest pups. I have a yard and am on a cul de sac. Please bring dog crate for your pups stay so they have a piece of their home with them. For many pups they feel this is their safe place.

“Communicative, friendly and followed all my instructions for my fur babies! Will definitely be using Jenna again in the future. Thank you!”

About: I’ve cared for everything from stubborn Pyrenees puppies to wild German shepherd ‘toddlers,’ mellow couch potato bulldogs, and all kinds of lovable nuts in between. I grew up with goldens and started volunteering at dog shelters with my parents when I was nine, it’s always been my therapy and my happy place. I know how much trust it takes to leave your four legged family member with someone else. I don’t take that lightly, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own :) Pet care is naturally woven into my day after having many four legged roommates, from daily walks, meals, playtime, it’s become my favorite parts of my days. I’m reliable and deeply attentive to animals’ needs and unique personalities. You can count on me to treat your pet like my family as much as they are a part of yours. I aim for a fun, clean, and safe environment, whether in my home or yours. I follow you and your pet’s regular routine closely, from feeding and walks to play and cuddles, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress free while you’re away.

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover. I had a family dog for 16 wonderful years—he was truly my pride and joy, and a constant source of love and companionship. Now, I have a two-year-old mini Goldendoodle who has quickly become the heart of our home. He’s full of energy and definitely keeps us on our toes, but the happiness he brings us every single day makes it all more than worth it. Over the years, I’ve also had the joy of caring for many other dogs belonging to friends, neighbors, and relatives. I've looked after pups of all breeds and sizes—from playful Labradors and Goldendoodles to tiny Shih Tzus and spirited Chihuahuas. No matter their size or personality, I treat every dog with the same love, attention, and care as if they were my own. Being around dogs is one of the greatest joys in my life, and I genuinely value the trust people place in me to care for their furry family members. I currently work from home and am available to stop by your home any time throughout the day to give your dog some love and exercise! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are always safety, comfort, and making sure each pet feels loved and well cared for.

“I would absolutely recommend Megan!”

About: I’ve been dogwalking and housesitting since 2017 but I’ve had my own dogs my entire life (I’m 31 years old). I care for my own senior dog and have experience with dogs of all ages. I work from home as a therapist so my schedule is pretty flexible. If it’s a full day of sitting I can see my clients from your home and take care of your dog at the same time! Making sure everything is safe, gates are closed, doors are locked, water bowls are filled, and I’ll even straighten up the house while I’m there!

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. I am a huge dog lover. I have walked, bathed, watched, and fed many friends, family, and neighbors furry friends. I have a beloved Jack Russell of my own named Scruffy. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure their owners feel like they are safe, having fun, and loved! I have recently graduated from USF with my second Bachelor’s Degree, Health Sciences and Nursing. I am currently an oncology nurse and work nights so I typically always respond after 3pm if I work the night before. I will be staying in the area and I have a pretty flexible schedule. If anything comes up, I would be sure to inform you at least a day in advance! I always make time for my fur babies 💕 I have an open backyard and an open field that my current dogs loved to play on. They play frisbee and chase each other around. I make sure to let the dogs out every 2-4 hours. Water bowl is changed every day. I give treats after potty time. I also leash-walk my dogs as well.

About: I have been a dog owner for many years now. Neighbors have relied on me for any pet needs, like dog walking or pet setting. I am currently available everyday, depending on the times. I have a very flexible schedule, so I would love to help those out with their pets. I currently have two very friendly dogs that love to play with other dogs. If you don’t want your pet around other dogs that would not be an issue!
