Angelica is absolutely amazing. She sent photos and videos every single day, was responsive, friendly, and a wonderful professional. My pup was obsessed with her immediately. Her home was immaculate and safe for my girl. I could not have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be using her services again. I almost think my puppy didn’t want to leave her. Plus, she returned her to me having washed her bed and my puppy was clean and smelling amazing. You can’t go wrong with Angelica.

I had an amazing experience with Angie! She truly has a deep love and care for dogs, and she made my dog feel completely comfortable during his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands while I was out of town. Angie is someone I genuinely trust, and I’m so grateful I found her. 10/10 experience! I will definitely be booking with Ms. Angie again!

Matt and Nicole took the best care of my babies Russ and Delilah especially since I was in a very hectic time of my life. They loved my dogs as if they were their own. They got them personalized name tags and made Delilah a beautiful necklace with her name on it. They gave them baths, took them swimming, and walked them all the time. They stayed in contact and set my mind at ease knowing they were in the best hands possible. I would highly recommend Matt and Nicole to care for your furbabies because they really do treat them like family.

I needed boarding for my two dachshunds at the very last minute due to a family emergency, and Joanne was incredibly understanding. She worked with me while I sorted out my travel plans, which was a huge relief. While my babies were in her care, she kept us updated multiple times a day. We appreciated that so much since we’re usually nervous leaving our dogs anywhere. It was comforting to know they were settling in well and genuinely having a good time. Highly recommend!

This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!

Brittanie sent pictures every day to show me how much fun Rosie was having and communicated with me with how she was doing. I felt so comfortable having Rosie with her and knew she would get lots of attention and cuddles. I am already booking another stay. 100% would recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing environment for their fur baby.

What a wonderful experience my dog Izzy had with Marcy! Izzy is a 7 lb Morkie that is terrified of other dogs. The bigger the dog, the louder the dog, the more terrified she is, which makes boarding her difficult. Izzy had a great time playing with Marcy’s 5 lb. Betty Boo, so it was a great social experience for my dog. Marcy also is terrific - I knew my dog was getting the best of care in my absence, and all for a reasonable price. I will definitely use Marcy again and if your considering Marcy, don’t hesitate!

She was very communicative, sending thoughtful updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares, and we came home to happy, relaxed cats. We’ll definitely be booking Ruth again.

About: When I was 12 a stray Tom adopted us. My mother and I would bandage him after his escapades. I have since then taken care of feral cats and helped get them spayed and neutered. I have also dropped in on the cats of my friends when they go out of town to give some human stimulation and make sure they have food and water.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

About: BEST CARE ANYWHERE! My home is calm and quiet, all dogs do great with me. My back yard is fully fenced; my back door opens into that backyard. My front doors have two barriers you can see that, in one of the photos on my profile. Customized meals for every dog. Home and dog areas sanitized daily. March 2026....10 years with Rover I have over 50 years professional experience caring for dogs, I am now retired. I have worked in the boarding, grooming, training and vet tech fields. YOUR DOG MUST BE FRIENDLY WITH OTHER DOGS NO BULLY BREEDS NO Dogs over 14yo NO drops offs or pickups after 6pm Your dog must be on flea preventive. I am retired and need to feel I am contributing to society in some small way. I love animals and they love me, so this is a good fit for me. I can care for dogs, cats, birds, horses, cattle, goats, chickens, rabbits, snakes, reptiles, raccoons and some small wildlife (depending on their needs) in their home or mine!

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! If ur looking for someone safe & trustworthy to keep an eye on your fur babies, I’m ur gal ;) Can’t wait 2 chat! Talk soon! Xx I work from home and create my own schedule!! 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!

Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.

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.

I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send updates/photos, and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. I work full time but I am remote, so taking time during the day is no problem in addition to availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, I’m committed to making your time away stress-free for both you and your pets.

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’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! My mom had a rescue and I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve also spent time volunteering at dog shelters, which has helped me understand and connect even more deeply with our furry best friends. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves playtime, or prefers snuggles and a calm walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs! I’m reliable, gentle, and truly passionate about what I do. I know how much dogs mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with all the love and attention they deserve. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 💗😊 I’m home all day, everyday since I study from home. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy, and it fits perfectly into my routine. I have two super friendly Shih Tzus. They love meeting new furry friends and are great at keeping other dogs company! But if your pup prefers their own space, no worries I can easily keep them separated to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s requested by the owner. I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, trips to the park, or just some relaxing cuddle time. My home is full of love, and your pup will be treated like part of the family!

About: I started caring for pets of my own at 18. I have worked as a vet assistant/tech for over 6 years. I am certified in CPR/First Aid and have worked with pets of all ages. My ex-husband and I raised two dogs from puppies and have adopted/fostered many senior pets. One of our dogs is a tripod, one is epileptic, and one is incontinent, so I have special needs experience. I also have experience caring for donkeys, horses, reptiles, chickens, birds, and fish. I pride myself in being kind and patient in nature. It is of the utmost importance that pets in my care feels safe and secure. I work full-time as a vet tech at a vet clinic in Lithia. I just moved to the area from Southern Indiana. I can do visits on my days off or before/after my shifts. My fur babies are more than just out pets; they are our kiddos. Your babies will be treated as such, too! Before I moved, I provided both drop in and boarding services. At this time, I can only do drop ins. I have subscription to Bark Box and a HUGE basket filled to the brim with toys. We keep plenty of blankets and beds around the home. We have a large sectional that we lounge on and a fully fenced in yard.

Alexis was absolutely wonderful and our large dogs love her! We recently purchased a vacation home in the area and were so stressed about care for them while we take trips to Disney. Alexis was the perfect solution and we are so grateful to have found her. Our neighbors love and use her also!

Angelica is absolutely amazing. She sent photos and videos every single day, was responsive, friendly, and a wonderful professional. My pup was obsessed with her immediately. Her home was immaculate and safe for my girl. I could not have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be using her services again. I almost think my puppy didn’t want to leave her. Plus, she returned her to me having washed her bed and my puppy was clean and smelling amazing. You can’t go wrong with Angelica.

I had an amazing experience with Angie! She truly has a deep love and care for dogs, and she made my dog feel completely comfortable during his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands while I was out of town. Angie is someone I genuinely trust, and I’m so grateful I found her. 10/10 experience! I will definitely be booking with Ms. Angie again!

Matt and Nicole took the best care of my babies Russ and Delilah especially since I was in a very hectic time of my life. They loved my dogs as if they were their own. They got them personalized name tags and made Delilah a beautiful necklace with her name on it. They gave them baths, took them swimming, and walked them all the time. They stayed in contact and set my mind at ease knowing they were in the best hands possible. I would highly recommend Matt and Nicole to care for your furbabies because they really do treat them like family.

Rosie had the best weekend with Brittanie and her family! She was loved and cared for like she was their own. Brittanie sent pictures every day to show me how much fun Rosie was having and communicated with me with how she was doing. I felt so comfortable having Rosie with her and knew she would get lots of attention and cuddles. I am already booking another stay. 100% would recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing environment for their fur baby.

Mary has kept our dogs many times and we could not be more pleased!! Our girls get excited when we pull into her neighborhood, which is so amazing because we have always felt guilty leaving them when we go on trips. Mary’s dog Chester is a total sweetheart and gets along great with our dogs. We will keep using Mary’s sitting services as long as she’ll have us!!!! And recommend anyone else to do the same. ❤️

About: I am an animal lover who’s enjoys playing and cuddling with all the fur babies. I’m open to meeting the individual needs of every animal I care for! I have experience with puppies to elder dogs and give medication if needed. Routine schedules, play time and potty schedule is ideal. I do try to stick to the routines of the animals so they know what’s coming. I am available most mornings, evenings and weekends. I’m currently working full time but available in the morning, evening and weekends. I live with my boyfriend who is home most days and own a crate to crate while gone. I have a very friendly dog named stitch who is eager to play with your babies! When in thw back yard your baby will be on a leash to use the potty.

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.

I couldn’t ask for the most perfect person to watch my Roman. Rom is a lot to deal with sometimes and requires lots of patience and she was that and more. Bri would send lots of updates and pictures during our time away from Roman and which was much appreciated!! She was very easy to communicate with as she well.
