She even gave my dog a toy for the Christmas tree! I would absolutely recommend Angelica to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you for taking care of my puppy, Angelica!”
“Karen and family were truly wonderful to my little girl. Her warmth and kindness were immediately apparent. Our dogs got along great and she kept me updated with pictures and videos at least once each day. My girl quickly learned how to use the doggy door and avail herself of the spacious, fenced yard, which was a luxury that I know she thoroughly enjoyed. I would absolutely use Karen’s services again without hesitation and look forward to doing so.”

But she also shows a lot of tenderness to the dogs and I could tell that they were very happy in this home. If you want your dogs to be safe and comfortable with people who genuinely care for them, you won’t find a better home.”

“Our cat is very particular and afraid! Corrinna got him to come out and get some loving and send us some comforting photos to know he is doing alright! She also went above and beyond with helping get the mail and trash! Most definitely will be trusting her with our cat again!”
About: I've got plenty of experience pet sitting, and that definitely includes cats! My background as a kennel technician, vet assistant, and current vet tech has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and health, which is super important when caring for felines. I know how to spot subtle changes in their mood or health and can make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. Your cat's well-being is always my top priority.
“Alex is the kind of person who goes above and beyond. We always hope he’s the one available when we’re out of town because our grumpy cat is so happy to see him! We trust Alex to drop in every day and he always sends us pics. It’s wonderful to have a person who gives us peace of mind about our pet while we’re away. Above and beyond, Alex saw we had some deliveries and brought them inside for us because it was raining! I mean, what a completely decent human. No hesitation, we’ll book again.”
About: I grew up with a pet cat and have pet sat for many through my adult life. I have experience providing medication to cats as well as caring for kittens all the way up to senior cats. I would love the opportunity to take care of your cats!
“Thanks to Car, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worries. She took care of our pets as if they were her own, sending us photos twice a day and telling us about our pets' day. We couldn't have found a better person than her. She's sure to be our pet sitter for a long time. Thank you so much, Car, for making our vacation worry-free.”

“Erika was such a joy to have as a sitter to my cat Kya! She took exceptional care of my baby and even took the time to teach her how to “sit.” Which she still does for treats. Erika is new to the Plant City area and she was truly worth every dollar I paid. I received daily pictures and reports on my Kya’s mental well being, food intake, and litter box use. I highly recommend Erika and will use definitely book her again if I ever need a compassionate sitter for Kya! Thank you Erika for your time and for giving love to my baby while I was away. You are the best!”

“Ms. Vely rocks! This was Coco's first full Day with Ms. Vely, so when she took command right away I was glad for that since she was a fresh face for my Coco to get used to over a long period of time. She is so wonderful and kind with doggies, I had no doubt she'd get my boy out of his shell. She updated us with photos and short videos throughout her time with Coco to show our little man was doing just awesome..... And the tongue hanging out the side of his mouth with a big toothy grin showed that she sure did get him out of his shell! Coco was even a gentleman doggie and made sure to follow her inside after every jaunt outside! Glad to have found Ms. Vely and glad to have her watch him again! You cannot go wrong with Ms. Vely!”
“Susan was extremely helpful with Cooper. He hasn’t been to any daycare in a while and he was a little unsure. She took special care with him and put him at ease in her home. Thank you, Susan!”
About: I’m a responsible, loving, and attentive pet caretaker who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. With experience and genuine love for animals, I’m committed to giving them the attention and affection they deserve while you're away. I also provide you with updates through texts with pictures! I am a stay at home mom with a furbaby of our own, and I have complete open availability for overnight stays and play dates! "We have a large fenced in backyard that offers plenty of space for play and relaxation, nestled in a quiet and peaceful cul-de-sac. Our friendly 2 yr old Golden Retriever, Lucy, loves to play fetch and welcomes new friends with a wagging tail. Pets are treated like family in our home-they're welcome on our oversized sectional. Fresh water is always available, along with treats (with your permission), and a variety of toys to keep them entertained and happy
“A wonderful stay for Maggie. I would recommend to anyone. My Mags is all for me and I felt and saw how happy she was to be there. Made my day relaxing being so far from home as Randi texted me photos of Maggie in her most relaxing positions.”
“She is so great! My babies warmed up fast to her! Sends lots of updates, which I love! Very friendly and will definitely hire her everytime I bring the dogs with me on vacation❤️”
“Deanna is absolutely wonderful. She is so caring and personable and my pup, Toby just absolutely adores her and her little 10yo dog Nicco! Could not separate Toby and Nicco from each other and Toby gravitated to Deanna all the time forgetting I was even around or came to pick him up. Deanna's partner also loves animals and loves Toby. Toby sat on his feet even every time he or Deanna sat down. Very refreshing, their home and yard are perfect for dogs and cats and they really love and care for them as if they are theirs. Even let Toby sleep with them too. So funny and cute. Deanna is very willing to work with you and your schedule and you just need to be fair and keep in communication with her. Glad she became part of the Rover team, our favorite people Sheri and Jim in Lakeland and their beloved 14yo lab Charlotte, moved away a year ago and Toby and I greatly missed them. So happy to welcome Deanna here in Lakeland now with Rover for quite a few months; just had not looked or found her until end of February. She is the best.”
“Jani was great with Junior. He only stayed with her for the day. He can be fickle in his old age but loves people. She did great getting him comfortable in her home and giving him attention but also his freedom when needed. I received constant pictures which is always great! Will use Jani again if needed!”

“Had a wonderful experience with Kayla. She was very responsive to messages. My fur kid is a rescue who had been abused - she can be a little skittish and nervous around new people, and in new environments. She seemed to take to Kayla immediately. I got a photo of her snuggling with her on the couch which made my day :) Have booked her for another daycare visit, and dog-sitting for a week long trip we are taking.”
“Karen was Great with our three boys! She sent pictures and videos to let us know our boys were well taken care of and having fun! We were stuck in traffic and she had them longer then the pick up time and was very accommodating. Will recommend to anyone! Thanks Karen!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, so I genuinely understand what it means to care for them as part of the family. My professional background further strengthens this passion: I've worked as a kennel technician, a vet assistant, and I'm currently a vet tech. Plus, I have experience pet sitting, so I'm comfortable stepping into that role. This means I'm not just a dog lover, but also skilled in understanding canine behavior, providing proper care, and recognizing any health needs. Your dog's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. Working in the vet industry as a vet tech allows me to spend 4-5 days a week surrounded by adorable dogs and cats. And when I’m at home, I take great care of my own fur babies too. It's clear that my love and passion for animals shines through in everything I do! Your pets' safety and well-being will always be my top priority. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, the focus is on maintaining their familiar routine and environment as much as possible. I'll come to your home for scheduled visits or overnight stays, making sure your dogs and cats stick to their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and cuddle time. This minimizes stress for them. I also take care of other household tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and ensuring the house looks lived-in for security. Again, my vet tech experience means I'm adept at spotting any health concerns, administering medications, and providing a high level of observant, compassionate care. In both scenarios, regular communication with you, including updates and photos, is a priority so you always know your furry family members are happy and well cared for.
About: Grew up with dogs (dachshunds, German Shepard, mutts) . Have 3 grand dogs (Quinn & Archie, Jack Russells, Maggie tree hound), who I love spending time with back in Massachusetts. Unfortunately we recently lost Quinn due to age and illness. I know he is waiting at the Rainbow bridge for us along with Sasha, Truffles, Harry, Solo, Skippy, Maestra, Toi, Chichi, Heathcliff and the other birds, turtle, goldfish that I loved in the past. I miss being with them and would love to spend time with dogs again. For past 24 years have been mother to several cats who are my furry children. I understand that dogs are not just our pets, but family members that you love like children. I am also available for cat sitting, including feeding, brushing, playing, cleaning litter boxes.
About: With over 9 years of experience in the pet care industry, I've had the pleasure of working in various settings, including veterinary clinics, pet resorts, shelters, and grooming salons. My extensive experience has given me a unique understanding of the needs of animals of all shapes and sizes. I'm a patient and compassionate individual who is committed to providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. My dependability and love for animals make me an ideal candidate for pet sitting or dog walking services. I'm excited about the opportunity to bring joy and comfort to your pets as their next sitter or walker! I work full time as a veterinary assistant at a local clinic in Lakeland. I will be available at various times throughout the week to take care of your pets! I'm delighted to offer flexible services in the comfort of your home. Above all I prioritize your pets' safety and well-being, I strive to provide a fun and relaxing experience for both you and your furry companions.
About: I have had a dog since I was 5, she is currently 15. I care for her greatly and will do anything to keep her happy and healthy. I would do the same for anyone else's pet while their owner is away. I am available while I am home from college all the time. I am willing to take care of an animal to the best of my abilities any time of the day. I follow the instructions given by the owner very well so the change does not harm the animal. I have a fenced in backyard and one medium sized female dog. If boarding at my home, the dog(s) would need to be good with female dogs. I will ensure the dog is very well taken care of while in my care.
About: Hi there! I'm Vely (pronounced vee-lie) a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer and with the help of my dog loving husband Dan, we're here to give you peace of mind with the best care for your pup. We know what it's like when you need to go out of town or on vacation and you want to make an exceptional choice for your 4 legged family member(s). A place where you can ensure, your pup gets adequate exercise, fresh air, and socialization. At our home, your pup will get to roam around (supervised, of course) a 1/4 acre fenced backyard of open space. Your pup will for sure get the zoomies! Your dog will never feel alone as we have 3 dogs of our own. If your pup desires quiet time and wishes to relax away from other dogs, we have puppy gates where they can have part of the house all to themselves. We understand dogs and can accommodate to their needs. As an added bonus, our clients have always mentioned they love the quality of pictures I take for daily updates. See my photo gallery for all the smiling faces. A little about me-- I am also certified in pet first aid/ CPR. I’m currently taking a course to be a certified dog enrichment technician. On my free time I enjoy researching and gaining more knowledge about dog training and behavior. They're my passion and I will care for yours as if they're my own. I started out as a self taught positive reinforcement trick trainer. I've trained my toy Aussie and Border Collie dog sports and stunt tricks. You can see some of my work on Instagram at mr.wilson_toyaussie. As of April 2024, I’m a certified professional dog trainer specializing in puppy training, obedience behaviors, tricks, and mild reactivity. I graduated from Catch Canine Trainers Academy with honors and a mentorship with the owner of Courteous Canine. I also have experience at a grooming salon. My husband is a business owner in the car industry while working out of our home. On his spare time, he loves learning new things and hanging out at home with the dogs. On evenings and weekends you can usually find us either walking our dogs around downtown or at various parks. Bonnet Springs Park is our favorite! Please be aware of the extra charge for the holiday and puppy price. In the Services Box, click on “see additional services and rates.” **All dogs must be friendly. They don't have to engage with other dogs, but must be able to coexist peacefully with others especially large dogs with small dogs. I have separate gated areas in my home and can group dogs together by size, temperament levels, etc. depending on the dog's needs. **Please review the cancellation policy: A full refund is available ONLY if canceled by 12 PM three days before the service begins.** Dan and I are dog lovers with no kids and 3 obedient dogs. I'm usually home and Dan works out of our home so we make a great team taking care of all the pups here. We are flexible and willing to work with your schedule. We have a privacy fenced in 1/4 acre yard for plenty of exercise and room to run and sniff. I love playing fetch if your pup is into that. Your pup will always be supervised and NEVER left unattended outside. I closely monitor dog introductions and take note of their body language. If their energy levels don't match and one becomes overbearing to another, I can keep them separated in a gated area. If a dog plays too rough, I referee accordingly. My goal is to ensure all dogs are happy and comfortable during their stay. Crate trained is preferred for adult dogs, but not required as long as they are completely potty trained (1-2 accidents are fine), isn't destructive, and can stay within a gated area when needed. All puppies less than a year must be crate trained as they will be sleeping in a crate overnight for their safety. All of my dogs are crate trained, so I can put them in off mode if your pup wants his/her individual playtime. If you have any special needs or routines I will be happy to accommodate. Additional services: Dog bath: $25 (under 25 lbs), $35 (25-40 lbs) Nail grind: $15 (small-med dogs), $20 (large dogs) 30 min 'sniff walk' at the park - $10

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals, including training my own four dogs in potty training and basic obedience. Working from home half of the month allows me to provide constant care and attention. My patience and genuine love for animals ensure they receive the utmost care and companionship while under my watch. Whether it's puppies needing training or seniors requiring extra care, I'm equipped to handle various needs with dedication and expertise. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's woven into the fabric of my day because I adore my four furry friends. Every morning starts with wagging tails and wet noses, as I feed them, take them for walks, and shower them with cuddles. Throughout the day, there are endless games of fetch, belly rubs, and treats to keep their tails wagging and their hearts happy. Their well-being is my top priority, and I make sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. As a hybrid employee balancing work and pet care, I dedicate 40 hours a week to my job, but my furry friends are always a priority.
