I have used Ruth several times and could not be happier with the services she provides. Ruth demonstrates a high level of professionalism, punctuality, and attentiveness to my dog, Frankie. Ruth has excellent communication skills and replies to my messages promptly with pictures of her visit with Frankie. There have been several occasions when I've needed last minute dog walks or visits due to a work emergency, and Ruth always is able to jump in and help me out with last minute notice. Most importantly, my dog Frankie absolutely LOVES her! I highly recommend Ruth for all your animal needs!

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!

About: I've owned and cared for all types of dogs. I've walked and cared for large and small. I've experenced easy, well trained to the most challenging. I love them all. I'm retired, so I can easily work in walks, drop-ins, and sittings during my days. Most days I'm available after 10 A.M., but I'm flexible. I only do care at the pet parent's house, and I follow the guidelines the pet-parent sets because routines are important for consistency. I will always respect your home.

April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. 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.

About: I am a 47 year old male, whose Air Force duties were crew chief for F-22 fighter jets, serving overseas during the Iraq war. I have top secret security clearance and many missions under my belt. My passion now is animals. I am currently an SPCA foster parent to both dogs and cats. No job is too big or too small when caring for your pet. Whether they have medical needs or just need a happy face to lick, I can take care of it all. I am available day or night with total peace of mind everything will be cared for. I live in South Lakeland. I am retired and available for boarding, client home boarding and care, pet walks and visits. I'm available any day and time. I will answer all requests as soon as I see them. I live alone in a small and safe community, with little traffic, which makes it safe for walks. I have a unfenced yard but I take great care allowing the dog to have freedom in the yard while being on a leash. I have access to a fenced in dog "play" area in my community. My home is non-smoking, cozy, and quiet. I keep the home air cool to provide comfort for the animals. I maintain constant contact with your loved one to know they are safe and happy. I will provide daily texts and photos of the pet, to the owner, to show they are safe and happy.

This is the second time Micah has watched Biscuit. She is excellent. Biscuit my cat, seems to like and remember her. I always feel guilty leaving my cat especially for 6 days. Her daily reports and fantastic photography made me feel alittle better about leaving him. There was even one photo where she was scratching under his chin, his current favorite spot.

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me genuine joy. As a lifelong lover of both cats and dogs, I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. For over 25 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I've even travelled across the country to pet sit; that's how much I love it. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, giving lots of belly rubs, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I take pride in making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routines, quirks, and favorite activities. Whether your dog loves adventure or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their needs. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust time and time again. Now that I’m retired from my profession in law enforcement, I have the time and flexibility to do something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, and I love spending my days walking dogs, playing with pets, and giving cats and dogs the love and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to be available throughout the day, ensuring your pets receive plenty of care, companionship, and personalized attention while you’re away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. At this time, I’m unable to board pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure and can maintain their normal routines. When staying in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and favorite activities to help reduce stress while their owners are away. As a retired law enforcement professional with 20 years of experience, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet-sitting experience. I treat both pets and homes with the utmost respect and care, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can enjoy peace of mind knowing their furry family members are safe, happy, and loved.

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 :-)

I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them

About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. As a foster family for the SPCA, I learned to be tender and caring with animals, while walking large dogs has taught me the importance of discipline. Walks usually go around Lake Hollingsworth or to the park! My schedule is flexible. I should be able to meet you and your pets needs and fit your schedule. I look forward to helping out however I can. Walks route through neighborhoods, lakes, or parks, allowing time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior closely, ensure they stay hydrated, and keep them focused on the workout. If a dog moves unpredictably (or chases squirells etc.) I adjust the route or pace to keep the pet comfortable and safe.

Amber is an absolute lifesaver. About the time my dog turned 9 yrs old, he developed separation anxiety. He loves Amber. She is so good with him. She plays with him, let him go in the pool, and gives him lots of good snuggles. She follows all my directions to the letter and is super communicative with me. She sends plenty of messages and photos, and does her absolute best to assure me that Huckleberry is being well taken care of. I could not possibly ask for better care for Huckleberry.

We are so pleased that Ruth took care of our three kitties during our recent trip! We have been uncomfortable about our upcoming trips because travel upsets our kitties and we have to leave them behind. After our trial trip with Ruth, we feel that we can travel this year without the worry because she will give TLC to our sweet cas while we are gone.

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.
