“Thank you so much!! Bella hates the rain so I’m not surprised she wasn’t too interested. I forgot to leave her raincoat out, she’s a little more agreeable with that on but I really appreciate everything yall did”

“We had Kylee come check on our dogs while we were at the beach for 6 days. We were nervous to leave our dogs since we had never left them with a sitter for more than 1 day. Kylee was INCREDIBLE and kept us updated on how they were doing and made sure they felt loved while we were on vacation! We’ll definitely be using 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 :-)”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our two kitties! This was the first time we had left them alone for more than a couple days, and it was such a relief knowing someone was going to check on them and make sure the older cat got her medication.”

“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.

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.

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I know how to read body language, I have experience taking care of puppies and senior dogs! As well as cats. I know how to meditate them as well! I’ve worked at a vet clinic for a little over a year. I also am a pet sitter for friends, family, mutual friends, stuff like that! I’m very experienced in the animal field! I loveeee animals!! I’m currently looking for a new animal job! So my schedule would be completely open! I have open availability, whether you guys would want me to overnight watch your babies, or early morning, and or mid day! I’m open to anything that fits my clients schedule!! I strive to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I will follow all care instructions, provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 11 years. Currently, I have a Boston Terrier who I helped potty train. I also have an Island dog known as a pot cake. I enjoy walking them and playing frisbee, tug, ball etc. with them. I will take excellent care of your pets, and I am reliable, and trustworthy. I am attending college but will have a lot of free time before or after classes, and I am available on the weekends and holidays. I have a fenced in yard. I can also crate or let your pet sleep where they normally would sleep. I also enjoy walking them.

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.

“Amber is a life saver for my worry about my pup while I’m out of town. My guy is still a puppy and hasn’t been left along for more than a few hours. Amber came over to let him go potty before the other housemate returned home. She communicated with me about how he was doing and made me feel very much at ease for being away from him. Thank you Amber!!”

“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!”

“Micah was amazing! My Livvy, who is nervous around new people, warmed up to her very fast. Micah was so knowledgeable about dogs who need that extra effort to feel comfortable enough to warm up to you, and she was great.”

“I was so nervous using River for the first time to watch our kitties as I’m a very nervous cat mom, Bethany came to meet me before our first visit and I knew her genuine sweetest was going to be a great fit. She showed up every day on time for our cats feedings and kept their water bowl and liter fresh. She sent so many pictures while we were away which I looked forward to every day on our trip. I felt at ease while we were away the entire time not once did I need to worry. If I could give Bethany 1000 stars I would, truly our cats are our babies and they were taken so good care of. Will definitely be using Bethany again when we’re away!”

“Josh is the best, and was able to fit us in on short notice. He’s been watching our two cats for a while and we always trust him to do a great job. Thank Josh!”
