Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Brian was great and was my first sitter experience through TH to look after my two little dogs and one of them was a recent rescue I had for a month and learning new things and still training. Brian was good with communication, clear about his travel plans and we managed adjustments to him coming in early by a day. This was helpful for me to feel I can personally give orientation to my home and pets before leaving for a few days. Brian was also good with the hand-off to my next sitter when weather conditions delayed me. I came back to a tidy home and happy pets. Brian was calm with my new pup's minor furniture destruction. Thankfully I bought the warranty! I would recommend Brian to anyone and would consider him again for future sits!
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected. I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated. We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned. My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed. Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone. I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here. If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry. I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

I did a pre-visit to this place and talked to the owner Susan. She was rude,sarcastic and very short tempered. I would not recommend anybody to leave their PET with this woman in fear that it might be abused. The best place I found is the pet village spa excellent place to leave your pet.
Susan is great! My dog loves her and that makes me so happy knowing she's comfortable. Our pup is very energetic and LakeLand has space and time for her to run some of it out, and does grooming as well!
It was nice to meet them it was pouring rain when I brought my great Pyrenees there to get groomed and she looked beautiful after groomed. We will be bringing my dogs there every month to get spoiled. I would highly recommend lake- land kennel and groom for anyone to bring their fur babies to get spoiled. Thanks again Lake Land kennel & groom
The only kennel I use! The owner here has always taken amazing care of my 60lb dog who is quirky. Very reasonable pricing, even grooming is fabulous! I love to sign up for the bath and nails for my dog after using the kennel.
I bring my dog Sparky there every time he needs grooming, they do a great job and I get a lot of compliments on how well taken care of he is. The place is not fancy or spotless but the owner does a great job and price is half of what my neighbors say they pay for their dogs
Susan is amazing and we love to take our pups to her when we are going out of town.
Took my Great Pyrenees in to get groomed and the mats out of her hair. They did exactly what I asked and she came home pretty again. Thank you!
Our dogs had a great stay while we were out of town to see family. Kennels are clean and dogs come home bathed with a 7+ day stay. Definitely will use Lake land kennels again!
Suzie is great. She knows dogs (all breeds as far as I can tell), and Zeke always comes home looking like a million bucks (of course we only pay 0.0045% of that). We highly recommend!
I am so happy I found Lake Land. No more long trips to DeLand. Susan was wonderful and gave my baby, Sweet Pea, a lot of love and attention. I really appreciated that.
Caiti went above and beyond taking care of my golden girl on the day of my wedding. She was excellent with communication, coordination and loving my pup. I would recommend her services 100%. I’m very guarded with who I allow to watch over my girl and I would trust Caiti any day!
Would not recommend as this provider is quite willing to cancel on you last minute and then blame you rather than discuss professionally. Misunderstandings occur but how you handle it says a lot about who you are professionally. Have a backup if engaging Caiti’s services. 🤞🏼 You may have good luck with Caiti, as I am sure she is a great caretaker, but she has not taken responsibility for booking what was a prerequisite meet and greet with me and before holding the meet and greet booking over top of my requested dates. There was no checking with me prior to booking another customer (yet she remembered to reach out to me to tell me that she was booked - hmm). Good business would be to come to an agreement and accept fault and make your business better thereafter instead of offering constant excuses (over and over). Since Caiti still doesn't understand what she did wrong, I would presume this same misfortunate event will happen to others in the future so I am posting this review.
