“I have used Angie's services for the third time in a row and she is a wonderful person and I couldn't have found anyone better in my area to take care of the love of my life Mimi. Thanks Angie”
“Christian was absolutely great with Deebo. Very attentive and kept me informed. We received great pup pics. Great location and will definitely recommend him to board your fur baby.”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“Megan was awesome. There was plenty coordination on the front-end to do an intro to make sure the visit would be successful. We got regular updates about our pup even over the holidays and some great pictures to share with our family. And she and her family will definitely be a keeper for future visits. Absolutely recommend!”
“Matt and Nicole did an amazing job with our German Shepherd mix! They sent pics and kept us updated while we were away. They worked with us to modify the booking when plans changed on our end. Would absolutely use them again and plan to on our next trip!”
“We could not have been more pleased with Maya and her husband taking care of our sweet Finn. They are so kind and loving, Finn was comfortable with them immediately and so were we. They took such good care of him even setting up a play date at a local dog park. We received so many pics and videos. We had such a great weekend away because we knew how well they were taking care of our puppy. I will of course be booking future stays for Finn with Maya and Kevin. If you are close by them and find yourself in need of sitters to love and take care care of your pets, book with Maya!!! In my opinion, they are the absolute best!!!! And will treat your pet as a member of their family.”
“Angela and Jorge were so good with our poodle Bailey! They made us feel comfortable in their home and Bailey to feel welcome. The communication was superb and we felt she was well cared-for and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“They were amazing to my kitty Buggy, super understanding of all my crazy asks and nervous jitters leaving my friend behind. They sent update pictures and even went to the store to pick up more food and treats because I had miscalculated how much she would need. I would definitely use them again.”
“First time I have ever left my pup with someone , and he absolutely loved her from the beginning!! Definitely will be using again and again ♥️ He was so excited at pick up but also wanted to love on summer , highly recommend.”
“Once again, Holli’s household took our girl and treated her like their own!!! I am beyond thrilled and my heart is warm! Absolutely AMAZING sitter for your special fur baby! MY ALL TIME FAVORITE and I pray she never goes anywhere!”
“Angelica was wonderful. She took exceptional care of my pet. I felt so comfortable leaving Punkin with her. She treated her like she was part of her family!! Thank you so much. I will definitely trust you with my pet for any future vacations.”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful with my Max. She sent pictures of him playing with Chester and enjoying life. She made me feel so comfortable leaving him for a week and not feeling concerned at all. I think Max found his new second home when we travel. This is such a blessing as it’s hard to find someone like Mary. Thank you again for making him feel so at home.”
“Karla was so great with my Nelly! I received texts and pictures throughout the stay letting me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. Nelly must have had a great time because she was worn out from playing the entire first day she was home. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Karla again and am already looking to book Nelly’s next visit!”
“Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”
“So glad I found Serenah. She's very trustworthy, accommodating and easy to work with. She loves animals you can tell and has a very sweet, caring calm demeanor. I was grateful to get lots of updates and pictures. I definitely will be leaving Butterscotch with her for future stays.”
“Clarissa and her family are absolutely fantastic! From the moment my pups and I walked in they put all my worries at ease and truly treated my pups as their own with respect and making sure their needs and comfortability are prioritized. Clarissa was amazing with communication and even sent update pictures that really made me worry free. My dogs came back happier I’m definitely going to be booking again with them! Thank you Clarissa Noelle and Luke has a blast with you!”
“Ginger was wonderful with my dog!! So attentive to my needs and his. Communication was exceptional and prompt the whole time she had the dog. Great fenced yard for running and playing. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

“This is the second time I have had this lovely couple babysit my cat while I was out of town! The attention to detail is outstanding and I will continue to re book. I feel extremely at ease leaving town when they are checking on my cat. Thank you again!”
“Thank you Jennifer for agreeing to take care of my cats on short notice. You were so kind to them and seemed to genuinely love them; even my two ferals and the cat who lives across the street who comes over for snacks. You truly love our furry babes.”
“DeDe went above and beyond. I got great updates about my cats every day, and good questions of any clarification that was needed. I came home and my house is exactly how I left it and I could tell that my cats had really been taken care of and they were really perky. All the toys were around the house. I could tell that they had been utilized and my cats have been played with. I look forward to continuing my services with her.”
“Kane is pretty shy usually when meeting new people, but my dad said he took right to her! She was great in letting me know what was happening during both drop in visits and super friendly! I definitely know who I will be booking when we need to go away again.”
“Ruth is amazing! For each visit with our Luna, she provided us a detailed report of how Luna was behaving and what they did together, as well as pictures of our furry baby. I loved our interactions and felt very safe and comforted knowing Ruth was taking good care of our pet.”
“Our cats - and we - loved Joshua! Even our kind-of-shy girl warmed up to him quickly. He sent great pictures of them getting pets and play time, along with a detailed Rover report card. He was on-time each time he came to our house & we're getting ready to book him again. I'd definitely recommend Joshua :)”
“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!”
“Couldn’t have been better. Very attentive; played with them, gave them their desert-churro-sent multiple photos, indulged my cats’ foibles and mine. Kept me from worrying about them so I could enjoy a couple days out of town.”
“Karla has been absolutely wonderful with Bow & Max! She’s very responsive and has great availability. I know my pups are safe and well taken care of ❤️ They are always happy in the pupdate pictures I get! Thank you Karla! 😃”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.”
“Good communication! Sent me numerous photos during her check ins with my two cats, even fed my fish for me which was extremely helpful. Always on time and interacted with my cats, making them comfortable while I was away.”
“Yan did an amazing job as a pet sitter for my cat. She picked up the key prior, met my cat, and was a wonderful sitter - feeding him, playing with him, and cleaning his litter. The process was smooth & easy. I will definitely be using her again for my future pet sitting needs. Thank you!!!!”
About: I have owned cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs and bunnies. We love animals. My children love to play and take care of animals also. We are very comfortable with all kinds. We currently walk dogs and volunteer at the SPCA. I work in health care. My children would love to own a dog of their own so we are giving them experience with taking care of the animals and responsibility. We also love taking walks outside and playing. We treat animals like they are our own. We have a large yard outside and a great neighborhood to walk around. We also enjoy coming to houses to take care of the animals and walk them. We know they are special to you and they are your children!

My first job was in a pet store, so I’m very familiar with caring for puppies and a large range of different pets!

I am a stay at home fur mom and human mom and have open availability to check in on your pet(s). I can check in multiple times per day and can offer discounts for multiple days. Currently I am not offering services in my home for any pet. As our son gets older, we may decide to open up our home for puppy vacations

About: I’ve had pets to care for in my life for more years than I haven’t! From kitty liters being born on my porch to pups with epilepsy, I’ve seen & handled it all! I grew up with a dad who had a special interest in dogs & dog training (does the name Cesar Millan mean anything to you 😏) & we ALWAYS had pets in the house. I’ve cared for American Bulldogs, pugs, adult cats & kitty litters! (And chickens but I don’t think those are allowed in my apartment) I work remotely, so I’m always open to moving my schedule around for what may work best for your little one. We’ll keep em as on schedule as possible while you’re away. :) Im also a retired nanny! So I’m very used to sending check in photos and txt updates, as well as full “while you were away” reports upon trip returns!

So I’m free to hang out with your fur babies as much as possible <3 I’ll keep them on their normal schedule so they don’t feel the slightest bit of discomfort :) I have a pet free home , because I travel too often right now to have a fur baby of my own. That being said , if your baby is a little shy or prefers being by themselves, this is the spot for them!
“From the moment we dropped off our pup, I felt completely at ease. My dog was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She sent regular updates with photos and messages, which meant the world to me and gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I will definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”
“Kenny did such an incredible job with our 4 month old puppy! Great house and the perfect back yard. He even took her on a long walk around the neighborhood. We got pictures throughout her stay and details about her schedule. He even taught her some new tricks. I’m so impressed! I would highly recommend Kenny!”

“Angelica and Jose were so sweet to Cooper. She sent lots of photos and videos and even gave him a bandana, a gift bag and a thank you card. Amazing service and their home was spotless!”
“Serenah is so responsive and on top of it!! This was our dog Oliver’s first visit with her to get him ready to board for an upcoming trip, so he was only at daycare for a few hours. Even though it was a short visit, Serenah walked him and took several pictures for us. So happy to have found such a lovely sitter in a home setting so our little guy doesn’t have to be locked away at a kennel!”

I walk mine twice per day and would do the same for your pets.

About: 2020 update: Work from home in PR. Family full of animal lovers. Kids very comfortable with many types of animals as they are taught to respect them. 2017 update: Recently relocated back to Florida earlier this year and as much as we miss California it is nice to be back home with Family, especially now that we have a new bundle of joy (one without fur ;p )! Will be updating the images of our new 2 story home that is more spacious and accommodating for all types of pups :) Previous description: Hi there! My husband and I moved here from Florida back in October. I worked at a tech company in downtown San Diego after I moved out here and it just re-confirmed office life isn't for me. I love animals and am trying to start a business involving dogs. Back in Florida I would pet sit for many of my friends and family, and they had all types of dogs. We have a 2-bedroom town home with a lot of space. We also have 2 of our own furbabies, a mini beagle and a lab mix. We take them to the dog park by our house, many walks a day, and to the dog beach (their favorite!). I have great availability. Picture text updates of your pooch, as well!

About: I’ve had experience with different pets all my life. I was lucky enough to grow up with parents that never turned away a pet I wanted: cat, dog, frog, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, you name it. I’ve loved it and cared for it. We currently have two Rottweilers and a cat. One dog unfortunately has stomach issues, seizures, arthritis and severe skin allergies. I am very well accustomed to administering medications, whether oral or injections, as I am an RN who is a current stay at home mom. I went back to work as an RN for a while but I am back at home and reopen for bookings! I am generally available from 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, unless there’s an appointment I need to attend. I am excited to get back to providing loving care for my clients! I have had great success with great clients that have given instructions on how their pets like to be greeted and behave. My pet parents know their babies best so I always use their suggestions. Sometimes it’s with treats, sometimes it’s with a ball, and sometimes it’s with creating space and honoring their wishes (usually cats lol).
“This was our first time using Bethany and Aaron’s dog-walking service. During the appointment setting process, Bethany was very responsive and professional. She communicates well and often, so we know what to expect. When we met, our dogs warmed up to both of them instantly. I joined them on this first walk, and have nothing to complain about. They did great! We will use their service again for sure.”
About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 5 and cats since about a year ago. I'm far more familiar with dogs and their needs and enjoy walking with them and caring for them. I currently have two medium sized dogs who love snuggles, walks, and playing. I work part time at the Lakeland Veterinary and Hospital as a Kennel Technician. My schedule varies on a monthly basis as schedules are typically given out for the upcoming month. The first week of the month is the most difficult for me to schedule as typically the work schedule hasn’t been sent out yet. As for my work schedule it varies time frames ranging from 7am-5pm or 4pm-9pm on week days while weekends are typically 7am-1pm or 4pm-9pm. I'll be happy to discuss any time frames whether I know my schedule or not. I have two dogs at my house between 25lbs-50lbs who love snuggles and playing with each other. I go on a lot of walks with my dogs as they're both friendly and energetic. I make sure my puppies are well fed, have clean water, and give all the love they can possibly receive every day
“Serenah was excellent! She is great with my baby ?she followed my instructions, communicated well with me, and she went above and beyond and accommodated a last minute time change I needed and instructions changes. I will be calling opon her regularly to watch my doggie thank you! ?”
About: I have always had an admiration for animals no matter the type. But for some reason the love that you get in return from a dog is just indescribable. I know that it is always a weary feeling to leave your babies in the care of someone else. But it definitely helps to know that the person caring for your pet shares the same passion that you do. I never thought that I would own small dogs but I am actually glad that I do have two Chihuahuas now because I can take them almost anywhere! There has been an occasional weekend trip where I haven't been able to bring the pups along and it just didn't feel the same having to leave them behind. So if you have to leave them, leave them with someone who will care for them just as well as their own! I definitely prioritize my pets before any plans are made! No matter the time of day, week or year. They are my fur babies and anyone that knows me will agree! Depending on the environment or location, I would definitely say to use a leash first and foremost. I would also like to know if you know about the other animals in the area, just to provide as much safety as possible.
“Kylee is awesome! I shopped around for a while and couldn't find the right match.My Sadie is very protective and she has been very sheltered so she doesn't care for too many people but she took to Kylie right away! she loves her! She is very prompt and very trustworthy ! She is capable of doing any type of service that you need! Even though I would like to keep her all to myself she could benefit other people as well! Highly recommended!”
“She’s a phenomenal and very trustworthy dog walker. I just moved to the area and was nervous to find someone that could check on Letty multiple times a week, and sometimes last last minute. Ruth has been amazing and has been very trustworthy. She always sends me pics from their walk. Letty also loves her and is super excited to see her everyday!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a dog and two cats and honestly, I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a furry friend by my side. I’ve always been surrounded by animals, from family pets to farm animals, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. Now that I’m a college student, I really miss having animals around, so I’m excited to share my love and care with your pets! Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll always make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved! I am currently in a social work graduate program, so I am in an internship during the weekdays 9am-4pm. I can usually work around those times, and I try to be as flexible as I can, so please reach out even if my calendar says I’m not available! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two friendly cats (who can easily be separated if needed), a screened-in patio perfect for lounging, and access to a dog park and safe walking trail nearby. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I’m comfortable following any specific care routines or instructions you provide, and I’m also very intuitive when it comes to understanding an animal’s needs and emotions. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to make them feel secure while you’re away, I’m happy to provide that love and attention.
About: I have 5 years of hands-on pet experience caring for dogs of all personalities and needs. My friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry friends such as walking, bathing, feeding, or even just hanging out while they are gone! I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in an emergency clinic which has expanded my knowledge on animal behavior, safety, and health, so I am comfortable helping pets who need extra care and monitoring them for any changes in behavior or health. Large or high-strength dogs are not a good fit for me yet, but small to medium sized dogs are right up my alley! However, I will always prioritize the safety for both me and your pet. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved while you are away! I am currently working overnights full time from 10p-6a, so my weekday availability is best for early afternoon drop-ins and walks, depending on my schedule and rest. However, I can be flexible! I am fully available on Saturdays and Sundays with flexible scheduling throughout the day. I always communicate clearly to make sure your pet can get the attention they deserve! I prioritize safe and reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment! With my background as a veterinary assistant, I am very attentive to detail and am quick to notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or health. I am very respectful of others spaces, I keep things clean, and love to provide regular updates to keep you at ease while your pet is in my hands!
“Karla has been a Godsend! One of my dogs is very difficult and she has him so well behaved. I don't knows what we would've done if we hadn't found her. It would've required renting a car and taking the doggies with us. Karla the best thing that's happened for us. 5 out of 5 for sure!”
“She is an amazing person and takes really good care of our pets. 5 out of 5 recommended. We have had nothing but great experiences and great communication through the day!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. My heart is always happy with pets, I enjoy to play with them, feed, bath, walk or just snuggle together. I work in my home office, so I’m able to take care of the pets in my house every day and night in a week. I have a couple doggy parks nearby so I can take pets every day to park. Also I like to walk around lakes and natural trails so will have a lots of fun together.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 40 years. I have a huge love for dogs and cats. I raised puppies as well as cared for senior animals. I am a retired grandmother and want to spend my time caring for and loving pets. I prefer to only service one family at a time so I can dedicate my time to your fur baby. I have a fenced in backyard and live with with my daughter, son in law, and high school grandson. Your pet will get lots of attention from me and also my family. I am willing to follow your pets schedule for feeding, play, and bathroom breaks.
About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for a wide variety of dogs and other farm animals. Over the years I’ve looked after many different breeds — from German Shepherds and Rottweilers to Pit Bulls and Pugs — for both my own family and friends. I’ve raised my own German Shepherd and Chocolate Lab from puppies, so I’m very comfortable with puppy training, socialization, and all the energy (and occasional chaos) that comes with it. I truly understand how unique each dog’s personality can be and I love tailoring my care to what each pup needs. I just moved to the area of Lakeland, and while I’m looking for a more permanent job I work part time remotely and on my own schedule, although I do have an obligation to pick up/drop off my significant other at work at 6-630am and at 5-530pm. Other than that, I’m available most weekdays, weekends and even some holidays. I provide all dog walking and pet sitting services at the client’s home for maximum comfort and familiarity. While caring for your dog, I stay fully attentive — going on engaging walks, playing, feeding on schedule, and giving plenty of love and affection. I’m very experienced reading dog body language and handling all types of personalities. I always use secure leashes and harnesses on walks, follow any house rules or routines you provide, and send photo/text updates so you can relax knowing your pup is safe and happy.
About: I love animals! I have had dogs my whole life, currently have a cat, and am certain I can take care of your pets with great care! I have cared for dogs and cats in their homes while their owners have been away for a few days at a time. I recently moved back to the area, and I am currently available full time throughout the week to care for your pets, whether for walks or housesitting! I will follow any and all instructions provided to me to care for your pet and I will shower them with extra love and snuggles! If an overnight stay is needed, I will also keep your home clean!

“Karla was so great with my Nelly! I received texts and pictures throughout the stay letting me know how she was doing which I really appreciated.

Thank you again Cherisse you and your husband where great !”
“During time with family and mourning we are thankful that Shelisha was able to watch our pup.
