Pet Sitting in Polk City

“April was the MOST AMAZING pup sitter ever! She went 1,000% above and beyond to watch our boy Harper on 2 different days while we were camping at Camp Margaritaville in Auburndale, FL! Harper absolutely loved her from the moment he met her (And so did we! We almost wanted to stay and hang out with her, she was so friendly and wonderful!) I HIGHLY recommend her for any pet sitting. She truly cares and does the best job, sends update pics and is super prompt, efficient, trustworthy, friendly and a true professional. We particularly loved that she came to our campsite to stay in our RV with our pup while we enjoyed the amenities with our family. She made camping worry free. Definitely hire April wherever you are, but especially if camping as she truly made our vacation worry free! Thank you, April! You're a true gift and we so appreciate you!”

“Shawnee was awesome! It’s comforting to know your furbaby is in capable hands, and I never doubted her abilities. Daily pictures provided a great connection with Precious while I was away and assured me I made the right choice in trusting Shawnee with my most treasured little companion.”

“Isabella is awesome. I contacted her last minute for drop-ins and she still had time to do the booking. She’s an absolute blessing. My dog was hesitant at first but she was an expert at being calm and caring with him and she gained his trust. She contacted me through the days and let me know about my pets. I definitely recommend her! Will definitely contact her when I’m I need!”

“Saffire was in the best of hands while we were away. We loved the reports and the pictures, they made us feel better while being away from her. Thank you for everything.”

“Luciana was so good to our baby, it’s always nerve wracking to try out a new sitter but she put us right at ease because she is just the sweetest. Our puppy is our princess and she is very spoiled 😂 but she followed all the instructions to a T, and sent plenty of updates and photos. We are so grateful we found someone we trust with our baby!! We knew Muffin was in safe hands while we were away, and look forward to using her again! Thank you Luciana! ❤️”

“Thank you for taking care of my child on such short notice.”

About: Hi! I recently moved from New York to Florida and I have 8 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting, with a strong background in providing loving, reliable care. I worked for a company Suburban Pets and also on my own and now I am on Rover. My services include dog sitting in your home, walks, drop ins, playtime, feedings, cleaning, and administering medications as needed. I also have hands-on experience from volunteering at a senior dog rescue and am proud to have adopted three senior and disabled dogs of my own. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, compassion, and attention to their individual needs. I currently work part-time as a kennel tech at a dog rescue in Lakeland, where I care for dogs twice a day on Monday, Wednesday, Thurs & Fridays (8:00–11:00) AM and 3:30–6:00 PM). On Tuesdays I only work one shift in the morning (8:00–11:00 AM). I am able to visit before, in between and after my shifts. I am completely available on weekends and can provide flexible scheduling outside of my rescue shifts. Pet care is a full-time commitment for me and an essential part of my daily routine. I’m fully dedicated to providing reliable, consistent care and am available any time I’m needed—weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always start by getting to know each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs or health concerns. In the home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment. I follow all instructions closely, keep communication open with regular updates, and treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I give my own.

“Thanks for taking such good care of our girl and treating her like one of your own. Thank you for the great updates on her on the daily visits.”

About: I have always been an animal lover, and have been watching pets for family and friends for about 5 years. I am available for both in and out of home services, and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I currently have one cat, but when I pet sit, it's generally pups! I'm familiar and comfortable with any size and breed, as well as accommodating to any special dietary or medication needs. I am currently a commuter student at the University of South Florida, so my schedule is very open! I have full availability Friday-Sunday, have class from 3:30 pm-6:15 pm Monday/Wednesday, and have class from 2:00 pm-4:45 pm Tuesday/Thursday. Maintaining open and frequent communication with pet parents is top priority for me! If a client desires frequent updates or photos of their fur babies I will be more than happy to provide them. I also follow feeding and medication regimens very strictly. Additionally, pets will get outside time as much as possible, and cats will get their litterboxes cleaned routinely. Of course, everybody will also get lots of love, pets and belly rubs! In terms of overnight stays, I do everything in my power to leave the home exactly as it was when I arrived. I also have no problem doing some light cleaning if requested!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, they were like my best friends. Taking care of animals is also a form of therapy, they can sense the good and bad and that’s what makes me love them more :) I’m a college student who is just looking for side hustle to pay my tuition and bills, I’m basically free all day everyday just looking to make some money on the side :) It’s just me and a 5 acre lot, no wild animals and it’s fenced in so your animals will always be safe and within eye distance. They are more then welcome to roam the house and land and make themselves at home :)

I have a fully fenced in yard with a dog pool and what feels like a million toys! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and really enjoy taking care of them. I will keep in contact with daily pictures and good communication. I am on a set schedule for work but also work 10 minutes from home and can go home if needed. There is a dog park in my community and I also have a backyard! Like I mentioned I have two of my own dogs so your dog will be treated like my own! I do not plan anything without the dogs in mind. I have two friendly dogs and one friendly cat at my house and there is a lot of playing happening 24/7. I check on them often throughout the day!

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for dogs has always come naturally to me. I began my journey as a pet lover with my first dog, Hanna, who was by my side for 14 wonderful years and taught me the true meaning of loyalty and unconditional love. Later, Kira came into our lives unexpectedly, bringing even more joy and companionship to my family. Over the years, I have also taken care of the dogs of friends and family, gaining valuable experience with different breeds, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them comfort and affection, I take pride in offering the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe that every dog deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved, and my lifelong connection with animals allows me to create a warm, trustworthy environment for any pup in my care I am currently a student and work part-time, which allows me to have flexible hours. At the moment, I am available from Wednesday to Friday and on some Saturdays When caring for dogs, I make sure they have plenty of exercise, fresh water, and a clean, safe space. I pay close attention to their routines and adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I believe in giving them affection and gentle care so they feel happy, comfortable, and Loved

About: I've cared for dogs since I was 13 and have been catsitting for the past 8 years, fueling my lifelong love for animals. Today, that passion shines through in caring for my own two hound mixes—a spirited 5-year-old large and an energetic 3-year-old medium. I provide each pet with personalized attention, boundless love, and a safe, engaging environment where their unique personalities thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I have a very flexible schedule and can devote plenty of time and attention to your pet. I'm available every day between 9 AM and 9 PM, which means I can be there when you need me—whether it’s for a morning walk, an afternoon check-in, or an evening cuddle session. I love being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I take pride in providing attentive and loving care for pets! My spacious backyard is perfect for playing fetch with my dogs, and I ensure they stay active with regular walks. I follow a consistent feeding and medicine routine for my pets, and when pet-sitting, I adhere to the schedule your pet is accustomed to, ensuring their comfort. I have a deep affection for both cats and dogs, and I'm happy to handle everything from cleaning up accidents to offering cuddles, making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you're away.

About: I was raised on a farm in Massachusetts and have been the caretaker of all kinds of animals! I also rescued dogs for 10 years, I have experience with pit bulls from fighting rings to very scared mostly deaf huskies, your fur babies are safe with us! I run a business in plant city and my schedule is very flexible and I'm home for the majority of the day with my 4 fur babies! I have a fully fenced in yard and 4 adorable babies! They are very friendly but sometimes can be choosey with who they like but no worries the house and yard is plenty big enough to give everyone their space ❤️🐶

“We called upon Vanessa’s care for our fur babies for the second time. This time it was a last minute thing and a shorter time so we asked Vanessa if she can do a home visit. Vanessa came by twice daily. She feed our babies, let them out so they can do their thing as well as allowing them to run around and play. She sent daily pictures and videos which we absolutely love! We came home to happy ..well taken care fur babies and no messes in the house. Once again we are extremely pleased with Vanessa and will most definitely continue to use her♥️”

About: Hello, I'm Sheryl Lynn, I own a home here in the area that is perfect for dog owners who enjoy walking their dogs in a safe gated community with pet friendly likeminded neighbors. In the past, I’ve always had a house full of dogs... mostly very spoiled spaniels who required a lot of attention, exercise, ear cleaning and grooming. That changed after our youngest of the last pack crossed the rainbow bridge, I took 4 years to grieve to take some vacation time with my better half. Missing all the pitter patter of paws through the house, I found pet sitting for friends and family gave me some much-needed puppy love. I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs at all stages of life from whelping, puppyhood, the very energetic, those who are deaf, blind or have medical issues such as ear infections, seizers, Cushing’s disease etc. to the elderly dog who may need a little more patience and understanding for issues that come along with age. I have taken in dogs who have had major surgery to aid in their recovery where the owner was not able to, expecting mommas and I also have experience with service dogs and the house rules that apply to them, especially during their training period. I own my own business and work from home, so most recently decided to adopt a little 12lb spaniel mix I fell in love with. As I have learned over the years, once you have one pup, what's one more in our daily routine! However instead of adopting more to leave travel options open, I opted to pet sit again, as our little guy loves to socialize. There is nothing better than being surrounded by dogs who love life! Your pet(s) will always have someone to interact with and play with throughout the day. Pups that need to go out a lot are welcome, even in the middle of the night, as I already have one with a tiny bladder. Although I live in a clean and organized home for my own sanity, it is very pet friendly as I had to puppy proof my home. Also have 2 guest rooms all set up for our pet guests should you/they prefer them to sleep in a crate or need a quiet space, and/or they can enjoy the run of the house if you/they choose to. In addition, have a privately fenced pet friendly backyard they can enjoy, which I always accompany them 100% of the time they are outside. I always crate pets if I must run out but never gone more than 2 hours at a time, if at all. If you are comfortable with me walking your dog… I do so every morning and evening within our tree line street gated community. Most pups will love all the squirrels and places to sniff and leave pee-mail. Perfer your pets to stay in their own environment? I do offer drop bys 1 to 4 times a day. Overnight pet sitting in your home can be arranged as well as house sitting too. I have 30 years experience in property management managing high end single family homes as a licensed real estate broker who owns multiple brokerages and offices through out Central Florida. Your home is in good hands should you need extra tasks completed while you are away. If you are anything like I am, I have a hard time leaving my pet(s) with anyone worrying about this and that… so I’m more than happy to provide concierge services that meet your pet’s needs, along with video calls and/or photo updates during their visit with us. I treat every animal as my own and guarantee they will feel very loved and entertained during their stay. Please reach out if you have questions and/or would like to meet.

“Laurie made it very easy to communicate what I needed from her as she was visiting my home. Laurie’s ability to come at a short notice was the peace of mind that I needed while I was away.”

About: Hey! My name is Monica and I am originally from Louisiana but relocated to Florida for work purposes. I have 1 cat & a medium size dog along with having my spouse (ft in my profile picture) & my baby girl (15 mo currently) that all live in my house. We do have a nice size fenced in yard as well. Back home I took care of a few different types of animals & am very open to taking in any animal as long as they got along with my babies, human & animal kind alike. The pitties on my profiles are my original babies that I no longer have but they started this journey for me, my current puppy is the black & tan goofball you see featured after them followed by my tan cat; after that are just some extra pictures of my family/furry friends I’ve watched over the years for reference. We do have plenty of areas to go for walks & I am a big fan of dog parks for socializing if it is allowed. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds as I’ve grown up with animals, have taken care of my own animals for 8 years now, & have been doing Rover & wag for about 4 years now. Please message me if you have any questions! Can’t wait to meet you and your babies!! I currently run a fairly busy schedule as I am typically working 5 days a week at about 8 hrs a day but after work I usually go straight home to relax. I also have my partner who typically works different shifts than me & is home Thursdays/Fridays while I’m off Tuesdays/Wednesdays. We are both huge animal lovers & we love giving spoils. Although my schedule is hectic with work & a baby, I always manage to find time to do what I need to do & if I know I can’t meet your expectations, I will definitely let you know! In my home & at yours, I will treat your babies just like I treat mine. I am willing to pick up after them, care for them, play with them, etc. as needed whether that be being a little more active by going to the park or just enjoying cuddles on the sofa.
