Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lake Hollingsworth
“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”
“Fantastic. I will continue to book through Angelica. She went above and beyond in every way imaginable. Plus she only houses non-reactive dogs, so the pictures and videos (there were plenty) were of him socializing and having some much needed playtime. If you have the option choose Angelica she is the perfect sitter.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”
“Best dog sitter in the app. She engaged with me the whole time I was away in my trip and updated me on my pet by sending pics and messages daily. Can’t thank you enough. I appreciate the service.”
“Absolutely wonderful! I was so relaxed knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of! Joanne sent pictures and videos to let me know how he was doing. I will definitely book again and highly recommend her service.”
“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.”
“Megan was wonderful with our fur baby! This was our first time using Rover. She took photos and chatted with us every day. Prior to booking, she patiently explained how many dogs she had per day, how often they go outside, what rooms in her home are used, etc. Our was happy and so were we. We would highly recommend her and use again when we can't bring our dog with us.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Cherisse was amazing with my little guy Sampson. It was our first time leaving him with anyone. He is almost 13 years old and doesn't like eating his food anyplace but home. She was able to make him feel comfortable and safe that he ate. I can't even get him to eat outside, so I'm grateful to her for taking care of him. He has always had a hard time trusting because he has been attacked by other dogs. She sent me a lot of pictures so I would able to know he was happy and doing great.”
“Christian was awesome! He kept us updated with photos and videos the whole time. Drop off and pick up was extremely easy and he was always ready on time. We had a great experience with him.”
“When I tell your that Shelisha made me feel ao comfortable and reassured about my fur babies , she did just that. I was so nervous because I’ve never had my babies shave a sitter but she did her thing. Sent updates,photos, text messages videos. My babies were so happy with her & I love this for them. She is an awesome sitter. Did so well that I didn’t text so much and only one drop in visit . Your fur baboes will be in Great hands with her.”
About: As an experienced and trustworthy dog caregiver, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With a strong background in dog nutrition and firsthand experience caring for a special-needs pup of my own, I understand the importance of patience, compassion, and individualized attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or specialized care, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently working at home so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup! I will make sure to stick to your pups routine. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, loving environment where they’re treated like family. I will send daily pictures and updates. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions. I have 2 friendly pups that your pup can play with!
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lilo. When I picked up my Lilo she wagged her tail and it gave me a sigh of relief because I knew she had a great time. I will be using them again for any occasion if Lilo needs to be taken care of. I’m happy I chose you. Thank you!”
“We were so pleased with Ginger’s care for Lexi! She kept us constantly updated on Lexi’s well-being with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Lexi was happy and relaxed, getting to enjoy all her favorite activities. It was clear Ginger made Lexi's time special, and Lexi even bonded with Ginger’s sweet Yorkie, Bella. We couldn’t have asked for a more attentive and loving sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Kevin has been wonderful….He keeps me updated, and even in my exhaustive busy time traveling it puts a smile on my face and an added relief knowing Maxx is in good hands! Maxx even got a buddy in the way of Kevin’s husky and they go to the dog park to play and also share fun with Kevin’s family!”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Megan for your sitting and/or boarding needs 🤍 My husband and I had to go out of town for 6 days and our puppy is only 6 months old. I had left Charli with a sitter from Rover one afternoon, but wanted someone closer to our home and more experience. Megan is it! The anxiety we had of leaving her was quickly diminished by the photos and constant communication Megan provided. Charli was happy and socializing with other dogs, as she had not been exposed to many dogs previously as young as she is. Megan's property is well thought out with plenty of room to run and play also with a separate "house: for the dogs that can stay in crates to sleep. Charli had such a good time I may just pay to leave her for a play date one afternoon! Thank you, Megan and family! 🙏🏼”
“Heather and her family were so welcoming with Oscar. The pics and videos she shared showed the true joy of not only watching him but the joy he had while he visited their home. Thank you for taking care of our baby”
“Amazing care taker. My dog had a fantastic time with her family. She also went above and beyond to help ne with a certain difficult situation. I would 100% recommend her and her family.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ruth was wonderful with our three cats! She took the time to learn their routines and made sure each of them was comfortable and cared for during her visit. 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.”
“Yan is an AMAZING cat sitter! She kept in daily communication in a professional and upbeat way; it's such a relief to find a sitter who sends a detailed report with plenty of adorable photos. She very smoothly handled some hiccups when my lively kitties got into some mischief. She seemed to care for them in a way that really put me at ease. Would definitely book again!”
“Kylee helped us out of a real bind when my mother went into the hospital for 2 weeks & her normal pet sitter was also hospitalized at the same time. We needed someone last minute to take care of her cat, Whiskers. Kylee responded quickly & was able to help immediately. She was very responsive, reliable, flexible & caring. She kept us updated on each drop-in visit & sent pictures of Whiskers during each visit. I highly recommend Kylee & would definitely hire 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 :-)”
“Micah has been amazing to my cats! I booked her twice back to back and she was so thorough and took such great care of them. They adored her. I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care, I will definitely be utilizing Micah’s services in the future!! :)”
“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.”
“Amber was awesome and I’ll definitely try to schedule her again the next time we’re out of town. She did drop-in visits for my two kitties, and her reports were great! She was thorough, detailed, professional and of course great with the fur babies.”
“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 had a cat for five years and LOVED him. Cats are very unique and special animals. I love providing them attention and am experienced and skilled at changing litterboxes.
“Bethany & Nathan were fabulous and have set the bar so high for any future bookings I have! Not only were they super attentive, extreme attention to detail but I felt at ease letting them come into my home to take care of my pet. They never gave me a doubt in my mind that my cat was in the best hands and that he was enjoying them while I was away on vacation! Thank you two again for everything, I couldn’t be happier.”
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: I grew up with cats! I work with cats every day at my vet clinic job. I have my own cat, i’ve had him since he was a baby. I know how to take care of young kittens and seniors babies as well!
About: I am able to fully tend to your cat and understand what they need based off behavior and body language. I am here to keep your cat comfortable, and on schedule whether it is a tiny sick baby, or old cat who needs diapers and a bath.
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: 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.
About: I have had my Calico cat for about 2 1/2 years and her name is Sara. She is timid, but loves to be petted. She is petite and beautiful (to me). She has added a lot of love and joy to our home. I have trained her (and our doggy) to get along with each other. I have administered medication (pill form) to Sara when needed. She loves special treats throughout the day!
“Elizabeth far exceeded our expectations. Bandit can be a bit of a challenge. She gave us updates after each visit and pictures. If we need a pet sitter in the future, would definitely reach out to her again.”

“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!”

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’ve cared for American Bulldogs, pugs, adult cats & kitty litters!

That being said , if your baby is a little shy or prefers being by themselves, this is the spot for them!
“We highly recommend Francisca. Our dog, Buddy had the best time with her. My children mentioned how calm Buddy was when we picked him up.(I don’t have to tell you other dog owners what a relief that is;). Francisca communicated well and sent pictures! Definitely plan to use her services again. Five Stars!”

“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!”
“Kyli was very accommodating to my VERY last minute and late evening request. Would definitely trust her with my little Bella again. She was very friendly and kept my baby safe and cozy.”

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.
“Margot loves her walks and time with Kylee! So thankful we found an awesome doggie walker! I feel guilty for being unable to do long walks so it is amazing knowing Margie’s having a great time when we’re apart!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once. I regularly cared for a household with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m also a pet owner myself (one dog and two cats), so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every animal like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, very responsive, and available for last-minute bookings when needed. 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. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy, and I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with small extras like bringing in mail or watering plants.

“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.

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 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.

“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”
“Fantastic. I will continue to book through Angelica. She went above and beyond in every way imaginable. Plus she only houses non-reactive dogs, so the pictures and videos (there were plenty) were of him socializing and having some much needed playtime. If you have the option choose Angelica she is the perfect sitter.”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”
“Best dog sitter in the app. She engaged with me the whole time I was away in my trip and updated me on my pet by sending pics and messages daily. Can’t thank you enough. I appreciate the service.”
“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.”
“Megan was wonderful with our fur baby! This was our first time using Rover. She took photos and chatted with us every day. Prior to booking, she patiently explained how many dogs she had per day, how often they go outside, what rooms in her home are used, etc. Our was happy and so were we. We would highly recommend her and use again when we can't bring our dog with us.”
“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.”
“Cherisse was amazing with my little guy Sampson. It was our first time leaving him with anyone. He is almost 13 years old and doesn't like eating his food anyplace but home. She was able to make him feel comfortable and safe that he ate. I can't even get him to eat outside, so I'm grateful to her for taking care of him. He has always had a hard time trusting because he has been attacked by other dogs. She sent me a lot of pictures so I would able to know he was happy and doing great.”
“Christian was awesome! He kept us updated with photos and videos the whole time. Drop off and pick up was extremely easy and he was always ready on time. We had a great experience with him.”
“When I tell your that Shelisha made me feel ao comfortable and reassured about my fur babies , she did just that. I was so nervous because I’ve never had my babies shave a sitter but she did her thing. Sent updates,photos, text messages videos. My babies were so happy with her & I love this for them. She is an awesome sitter. Did so well that I didn’t text so much and only one drop in visit . Your fur baboes will be in Great hands with her.”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lilo. When I picked up my Lilo she wagged her tail and it gave me a sigh of relief because I knew she had a great time. I will be using them again for any occasion if Lilo needs to be taken care of. I’m happy I chose you. Thank you!”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Megan for your sitting and/or boarding needs 🤍 My husband and I had to go out of town for 6 days and our puppy is only 6 months old. I had left Charli with a sitter from Rover one afternoon, but wanted someone closer to our home and more experience. Megan is it! The anxiety we had of leaving her was quickly diminished by the photos and constant communication Megan provided. Charli was happy and socializing with other dogs, as she had not been exposed to many dogs previously as young as she is. Megan's property is well thought out with plenty of room to run and play also with a separate "house: for the dogs that can stay in crates to sleep. Charli had such a good time I may just pay to leave her for a play date one afternoon! Thank you, Megan and family! 🙏🏼”
“Heather and her family were so welcoming with Oscar. The pics and videos she shared showed the true joy of not only watching him but the joy he had while he visited their home. Thank you for taking care of our baby”
“Karla was super great with my dogs! This was my first time using Rover and she was able to put me at ease. She sent me daily pictures and updates on how they were doing. Usually one of my dogs doesn’t get along with other dogs but she was able to interact her dog with my dog in a way that she had no trouble with my dog. Definitely will use her again!!”
