“Ruth did an amazing job caring for my dogs. They can be difficult with one being just a puppy and the other being older and very nervous but she did an excellent job making sure they were taken care of.”
“Kate was amazing with our boy! She was communicative and responsive. She was proactive in meeting him and understanding how to get into our apt, which we really appreciated. Kate was also kind enough to give our boy extra love with playtime and treats. Will definitely be reaching out for future services! Thank you so much Kate!”

“Yan is an amazing cat sitter! I was really worried my about leaving my cat for two weeks but Yan kept me updated and made sure my baby was well cared for and had enough playtime! It was great to see the photos and read the personal updates for each visit. 10/10 Recommend booking with Yan!!!”

She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”

She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”

“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

“Bridget was on time and communicated well for this visit. She had to forego Brady’s walk due to their being a loose dog in the neighborhood, but Brady seemed happy when I came home 😊”

About: We're a couple who love animals of all shapes and sizes, especially cats and dogs! We have experience traveling around the U.S. as pet sitters, Megs currently works at SPCA Florida (an animal welfare nonprofit), and we have five incredible rescue cats of our own. We have experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. We also are comfortable caring for cats with a variety of needs and set-ups. We truly just love animals and want the best for each and every one! Megs currently works part-time and LJ has a flexible work-from-home job, which leaves us plenty of room for snuggles and walks and any other kind of pet care! We prioritize the health and well-being of our own cats at home, ensuring they have an enriching environment, high-quality food, a consistent schedule, plenty of attention, and as much play and exercise as they could want. We would love being a part of doing the same for your pets whether that's through drop-in visits or walks!

“Kylee took very good care of our cat Ginger! She went above and beyond. She’s very friendly and communicates well. She gives lots of details and it’s obvious that she loves pets and treats them like they’re her own. We highly recommend her if you’re looking for a great pet sitter!”

About: Have my own boy lab and 2 cats that the distribution system blessed me with. (Bodie, Birdie, Betty). Any questions or additional requests, please message me. If youre looking for a repeat need, we can talk about long term rates and make up schedules. I would love some regular babes. If you have pets other than dogs and cats, let me know if I can help out. My favorite show growing up was Steve Irwin. 😂 I work from home with a flexible schedule. I do drop in visits and walks and am available weekends and holidays. I can also water plants, get mail, etc if you need! Have worked in a vets office, now work in human medicine on clinical trials. I do try to avoid walking dogs that pull a lot because of health reasons/ a lack of rotator cuffs. Anything under 50 lbs that pulls isn't a big deal, but above that is a no go. I can slip away from work for about 30 to 60 minute visits. I don't go away on weekends or holidays since my elderly parents live in Lakeland. :) I can take your babe on nice paced walks that are typically 20 min. Let me know if they need longer walks. I always prefer to discuss details of your pups typical behaviors and what I can do to make it the best/safest environment.

Just let me know what you need and any special requirements and you can have peace of mind that your pets are in good hands. I currently work full time in Lakeland so I am available to come before and/or after work and generally any time on the weekend. We’ll make it work! I will come to you! You let me know your preferences as far as where your babies are allowed to go and how you want them left when I leave and what they are allowed to do and I will make sure they stay safe.

I recently had Sia cat sit for my cat, Mylo, and she was fantastic. Sia came to my home each evening, feeding him, letting him enjoy some time on the back porch, and giving him company. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. She sent quick updates and was punctual every day, which gave me great peace of mind. When I returned, Mylo was relaxed and happy clear signs he’d been well cared for. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but Sia absolutely did. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and caring cat sitter.

Katherine is our favorite pet sitter we’ve ever had! As someone who feels anxiety leaving their pets in someone’s care, I can finally enjoy my time away from home because she takes such great care of them. She takes lots of fun pictures of their time together and my dogs love when she comes to play. I cannot recommend her enough!

Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!
