Pet Sitting Westgate

About: I am experienced, responsible, friendly and loved by pets of all ages. Get reliable pet sitting from someone who’s raised a Westie and wrangled puppies. I live and work locally in Lakeland. Available for midday walks and sitting evenings/weekends. I am happy to provide snuggles, walks, park trips, feeding and treats. I previously worked in a pet store providing care for puppies and I currently have a 12 year old Westie. She is very friendly & loves to play with other animals.

“Ruth was hired to walk my Chihuahua, Nyla, on a regular basis while I am at work. I liked her so much in our meet & greet that I cancelled the other appointments I had set to look for the right dog walker. She is on time consistently, sends great updates and my dog LOVES HER! I fully trust her with access to the house and with my pup. Will be using her consistently moving forward.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have three sweet, friendly dogs of my own, and I truly treat them like my children. In my home, dogs are family—they’re welcome on the furniture, can sleep in the bed if that’s what they’re used to, and get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. We have a large yard where the dogs love to run and play, and they’re just as happy relaxing inside together. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pup is being cared for just like one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life because I have three dogs of my own. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, and both my significant other and I work just five minutes from home, so the dogs are never left alone for long. My daily routine revolves around feeding, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention, so welcoming another dog into our home fits in naturally. I make it a priority to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have a dedicated dog room, as well as kennels available if a dog needs their own space for meals, rest, or if separation is preferred. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, so you can feel confident that your dog will be in a safe environment. Whether your pup loves to play or simply relax, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care in a secure, welcoming home.

“Elizabeth was excellent with both of my dogs. She made sure to send updates and pictures so I always knew what was going on and made sure to play with my puppy so he would get out all of his energy. I would definitely recommend her and will be rebooking 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 :-)”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet. I’ve been around both dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for them for family and friends. I currently have a puppy that I’ve raised since she was just 8 weeks old, so I understand the time, consistency, and attention young dogs need. From potty training routines and reinforcing basic commands to providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, I’m comfortable caring for puppies as well as adult pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily schedule. I have a flexible routine that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. Since I already care for my own puppy every day, I’m used to planning my schedule around a pet’s needs and making sure they receive consistent care. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to following each pet’s routine so they stay happy and comfortable while their owner is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any special routines their pet is used to. I also keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and healthy. My goal is to help pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.

“Pennie was very professional at our meet & greet. Sent pictures of both my cats with updates. She also did additional things for me—getting mail & watering tomato plant.”

About: I’m patient with all animals and love their energy they bring to my life. I’ve cared for animals since I was 2 years old and I’ve been connected with them ever since. I currently work a full time job that does allow me to have free time after work or weekends to care for cats and/or dogs in my free time. Although I don’t have a fenced area at my apartment complex I do have plenty of space to walk and we can always go to a park enjoying the scenery.

“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!”

“Madison was amazing! We went out of town for a weekend getaway and were so anxious about leaving our cats behind. However, Madison eased all these worries away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell my cats were in caring hands. She was able to get my reserved cat to come out of his shell and even administered medication. I would recommend Madison and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

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.

“Needed a last min booking, then an extention. Emma was great for us! Will use again!”

About: I have owned dogs since was 9/10 years-old, and enjoy playing with dogs and love keeping them occupied espically puppies. For puppies, I like to help potty-train them by offering treats to understand that "outside is where we use the bathroom not inside". I also pay really close attention to due to possible getting into things. I watch out for things that could possibly hurt your dog. As a dog owener myself I will treat your dog as if it was my own dog at home, giving all the attention and play time there hearts desire. I’m currently not working so I am available during select times. I also know what it is like to need a caregiver for your pets while you are away on a business trip or just a quick get away from reality. I live in an apartment complex where everyone keeps to themselves but as for any home I would treat it as if it were my home and how I would want to make sure things are in the right place
