Pet care experience

I like to raise the ruff!

I’m a top-rated Rover sitter based in Lakeland. I’ve been caring for dogs for many years through Rover and independent dog walking, and I’ve built long-term relationships with families who trust me with their pets again and again. I grew up on a farm, so I’m especially comfortable with working dogs and high-energy breeds that need structure, clear communication, and plenty of exercise. I also have over 50 hours of volunteer experience in shelters, which means I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and personalities, including shy or nervous pups. My priorities are safety, consistency, and communication. I follow your routines closely (feeding, potty breaks, and house rules) and I’m happy to help reinforce basic training like sit, stay, leash manners, and potty training. I can also provide baths so your dog comes back to you clean and comfortable. I know it can be stressful to be away from your dog, so I send regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pet and can help with simple things like watering plants, taking out the trash, and keeping pet areas tidy. I’ve always been the person friends, coworkers, and neighbors ask to pet sit, and I truly love what I do. It would be a privilege to care for your dog and give them the attention and companionship they deserve while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow your routines and instructions closely, double-check doors, crates, and gates, and never let pets off-leash unless you’ve approved it. I treat your home and your animals with the same care and respect I give my own.

Luciano is an amazing pet sitter. When a problem arose with our dog that required extra work on his part he took care of it and went the extra mile to make sure our dog was taken care of. I recommend him highly. He was very responsive and helpful.

It is wonderful having Luciano sit again with my pets. He always follows instructions for my senior dog and cat. The pictures he takes shows that they are very content and I can relax on my vacations!

My pets took to Luciano right away and that’s not always the case. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Holly and Tippy were receiving great care. Luciano not only cared for my pets, but also kept my home clean and took care of my plants, got my mail and was very agreeable when I asked him to do anything. Thanks, Luciano! I hope you’re available next time I need a pet sitter!

Luciano has been watching our dogs for years now and we can't imagine ever trusting someone else with them. We always know they're happy and well-cared for in our absence! Our dogs absolutely love him.

Schedule

I work remotely, which means I can be with your pets in your home almost any day and time. I’m home-based and flexible, so I can stick closely to your dog or cat’s normal routine for walks, meals, potty breaks, and playtime. Overnight stays and daytime visits are easy for me to accommodate with a bit of notice, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule around your trip dates.
