Dog Sitters in Lakeland, FL

Gina was a life saver! A dear friend had a sudden health issue and was kept at the hospital for a week with no notice or relatives nearby to go check on his 3 cats. I contacted Gina from GA and she went out promptly to check on them and then cared for them the rest of the week. She went above and beyond to give us peace of mind that all was well. My friend came home from the hospital to happy and healthy cats. Highly recommend Gina and The Pet Nanny!

Simply put, I wouldn’t trust any other person with my fish pets. The Pet Nanny is also very knowledgeable about aquatic life in general. This is the third time she has taken care of feeding all my aquarium fish friends. Very detailed and thorough and accomplishes all instructions left while we’re away on vacation. The Pet Nanny even sends me videos of my aquarium fish friends while they’re being fed. It’s truly is awesome to be able to relax for a week away from home, knowing that The Pet Nanny is meeting all my fish needs. If you’re looking for someone who is truly dedicated and professional, then look no further than The Pet Nanny. 5 Stars!

We love Gina the pet nanny! Always professional. Our fur babies love her. We trust her completely in our home when we are away. We know that are babies are getting love and attention from her in our absence. She keeps us informed with photos and videos. We won't use anyone else but Gina, I highly recommend her services, you will not be disappointed! She is amazing with animals.

I absolutely adore my two cats Louie & Clarence. And I equally despise letting people have unfettered access to my home while I'm out of town. But I was so lucky to find Gina. She has been so absolutely perfect in any way you could imagine. If I'm on a business trip and we get delayed, she offers to come for an extra day with little notice. She empties my automatic litter boxes. She refills the water fountains. Makes sure their auto feeder is good. Makes sure nothing catastrophic has happened in my absence. But most importantly, she communicates. She lets you know what is going on. She sends you pics and videos of her playing with them if you leave a few toys out. It's not just some person coming in to check if your pet is alive and just leaving. She gives your pets comfort and humanity while you are away. And she gives you reassurance and peace of mind. And she doesn't charge nearly enough. If I could add extra stars, I would.

Just used Gina for the first time. I am picky about who stays with my dogs. I was a vet tech and have high expectations. Gina did a great job! My dogs love her and she sent daily photos and videos of my babies which ensured I did not worry. We were out of town for a week and I did not worry. She even fed the wild ducks we feed! Highly recommended!

Gina is absolutely amazing. She cares for your pets as if they were her own. She is very patient with pets and especially the pet parents who worry while they are away! Thank you Gina for being so patient, she gives daily texts and updates which are great. This was my first experience with a professional pet Nanny and I will definitely use her again. Highly recommended.❤🦆❤

My two fur babies mean the world to me and I could never just leave them to be taken care of by just anyone while we are out or away. Gina is phenomenal! Our two dogs just adore her. She is very attentive to their needs. She cares for them as if they were hers. She is in constant contact with us about when and where she is when taking care of them. We even get pictures. When we go away on vacation, it’s one less worry on my mind because I know Gina is there with them over night and they are not alone. I would and have recommended The Pet Nanny to many people and will continue. She truly cares and loves our babies 💕 Thank you Gina! We love you

I don’t think Google will allow me to write all the words I’d want to use to describe how much I LOVE GINA!!! OM(goodness)! She is our pet angel! We have two fur babies - one of which has insane anxiety and does not typically like anyone new. She loves Ms. Gina though! Gina makes our lives so much easier when traveling or when we have long days. The pups get to stay home where they are most comfortable and I know that I have absolutely nothing to worry about. I can vacation with complete ease. And I love how when we have super long days, we can get Gina to pop over and let pups out, give them dinner, show them some love, etc… I can’t emphasize how much I recommend her! If you are considering, do it! You won’t regret it. ps - We’ve been using Gina for almost 2 years now so I’ve got a lot of positive history to back up these comments!

Gina is awesome with my dogs! They love her. She is very professional and clean. She tends to my puppies needs and is very loving and attentive. Total bang for the buck! So worth the peace of mind knowing that a professional is taking care of my fur babies.

Gina has watched my two labs and she is phenomenal. My 1 guy is older with lots of medication and she took care of it effortlessly For the first time I was able to go on vacation and never worry about my fur-babies. She gave me an overview of the time frames she would be at the house. And sent me texts and photo updates which led to my comfort while away. Dont hesitate to work with Gina, she treats your pets like family.

Took my Shepard for his first nail trim, was in and out in just a few minutes. Pup was treated like a king and seemed to enjoy the staff. No appointment needed, walked right in and they set to work.

Our Bear has being going now over 3 years and loves being there for the day and even baths. Our Bella, is 4 years old but was given back to the rescue last year. She was in sore need of nails being cut when we got her a year ago and they have worked with us as she gets afraid of being left. She comes home happy and even is learning to love going yet still has moments of fear. They are great to work with especially with our Bella.

We have been bringing our dog here for a while with no issues. Until today! I had my son pick him up after his grooming, as I was working from home and could not leave. As soon as he walked in the door, I noticed a huge knot on the top of his head that was actively bleeding. NOTHING was said to us when he was picked up and of course my son didn't see it. When I called, I was told he was trying to escape from the kennel and they moved him elsewhere. This is not a scratch, it is a KNOT. Like someone hit him with something hard. We will not be returning and I urge others to use caution, as they were not sympathetic whatsoever. I got an email that was written by AI and it had captions that were supposed to be filled in that they left generically. Example: At [your business name], the safety and well-being of every pet in our care are our top priorities. Yes, that was a sentence from their 'apology' email. If you don't like your job or the dogs coming in there, find another job! This is absolutely unacceptable!

I love this place for cutting my dogs nails. Saturday they take walk-ins until about 1/1:30pm, which is really nice. The service is quick and professional. The cut is $10 and it’s $5 to add dremal. They do charge $20 if the dog is extremely hard to work with, but fortunately that hasn’t happened to us. The lady that cuts the nails handled my crazy dogs vey well. I was impressed. I’ll be back in a few months for another cut!

If I could rate negative numbers I 1000% would. I boarded my dogs for 3 nights with their food completely measured out for each day and I had provided instructions on exactly when and how much to feed but when I picked my babies up the bags were almost completely full. During pick up and drop off the kennel staff were dry and pushy and didn’t advise me on why my dogs weren’t feed. Two days later we were finally able to get a hold of a manager, who then stated she did not know what was going on and once she spoke to the staff, they stated that my dogs were not eating so they fed them rice and chicken, but we were not advised at pick up. About 10 minutes after pick up, I noticed that my dogs were struggling to breathe and had a dry cough, after waiting 1 day the cough got worse and we have had to take my dogs to the vet and they now have kennel cough and are in bad condition which now has led to hundreds of dollars in vet bills, this is absolutely ridiculous and not professional. I trusted this company with my babies as the reviews were amazing and I was truly let down, I can’t put into worlds how upset I am

I absolutely LOVE this place. My boy Major is my pride and joy, but i travel alot at times for work. Whether its a few days or a week, I can always count on Four Paws Only to take care of him. He LOVES the staff, and they love him ❤️ & THEY ARE SOOO AFFORDABLE! I also love their dog biscuits / cookies. I always feel safe leaving Major in their hands 😊

Great service and team! Four Paws Only has always welcomed our dog with open arms and love on him. I wish there was more opportunities for pets not fixed, but at this time play time is only for fixed pets. Location and parking is not the best due to Four Paws popularity. Sometimes it is hard to find a space to park and drop off or pick up your pet.

Read the good reviews and looked like they could watch my puppy for the day, the place seemed clean and the receptionist was friendly. The price was fair the location convenient. My new puppy loves everyone and gets along with other dogs. We are still in the potty training mode. When my wife went to pick her up she was wet and smelled like pee. I'm not sure if she was laying in it or what happened. It got all over my wife's work clothes and they both needed a bath. My wife said that there were 30 other dogs in there that day. Thank you for your response. I appreciate your desire to run a good business

We boarded our dogs for the first time and it was a great experience! After their 2-day stay, both of our boys walked out as happy as can be. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We have a pit bull terrier mix and a shorthaired Chihuahua, and we will definitely use this service again.

It takes me 45 minutes to get to four paw. To me it is worth it. They do a great job with my yorkie I go every 2 weeks for her nails. Alyson is great with Gloree. Thank you🙏 …

Omg! GREAT dog training center!! Just picked up my Akita from them. Zac, the trainer, did an amazing job with her. She's SO well mannered and follows commands so well. Highly recommend them for all boarding, grooming, and training services to everyone. Thank u to the office staff, groomer, and especially Zac!!

I have debated leaving this review, however I think it’s important for people to have honest feedback when finding a place to board their fur babies. Last week we brought our 2 dogs for a long weekend and after seeing great reviews we decided to give Das Hund a go. Upon calling to check in on the pups the next morning, I was told they were good. A couple days later we called again and was told our dogs were not coming around to the staff and didn’t want to play with other dogs. This raised flags for us because our dogs are very affectionate and playful and knew that didn’t sound right. Upon pick up, the lady that brought them out to us didn’t seem to have a clue who our dogs even were. When I asked again how their stay was she said, I haven’t heard anything bad so I assume they had a great time. All responses from staff seemed conflicting and didn’t put us at ease. Our one pup came home with a split tail and is constantly bleeding which will be a bit of recovery for her. We can only assume this was from the extended amount of time spend in crates, and at this point we’re not sure how much free/play time they really had. We truly wanted to like it here as they are close by, however we decided this is not a good fit for us. Would had loved staff to be on the same page with feedback about our dogs when we called to check in and pick up. -Chloe and Brody’s Mom

The team at Das Hund Haus is an extremely professional and knowledgeable group of animal loving individuals. Our experience has been top notch since day one! Kenny is 5 months old and started at the day care and Manners 101 training at 3 almost 4 months old. He has learned various commands making life easier to manage at home. From sit, down, place, stay, and more, Kenny has been quickly adopting to the training. Additionally, Kenny enjoys his day care stays with his pup friends. There are always additional activities to add to your pups day like sniffaries, obstacle courses, ball pit, and even some fun lick art! Kenny always comes home happy and exhausted from his daycare stays. We thank the staff and trainers for their continued help and support in helping raise a well behaved pup. 10/10 recommend

I did the Manners 101 with my golden retriever puppy. We loved working with Savannah and Zach. They were awesome in class and always provided good advice for behaviors at home. I am looking forward to continuing classes with them in the future. We also take our puppy to daycare and he seems to love it. I am glad to have a place I can drop him off to when we will be out of the house for the day so he can still get exercise and playtime with others. It’s been a great experience for him to get comfortable around other dogs.

I have used them several times for my two Goldens and they love it there. They get so excited when we pull into the parking lot. When we have used other places for boarding in the past, they always come home acting sad and strange. When they come home from Das Hund Haus, they are always their happy normal selves.

We LOVE Das Hund Haus! We found them when our puppy needed training. Savannah did such an amazing job with her. We now take her to daycare regularly to get her energy out. We have also boarded with them and they are always amazing and helpful. The staff love them all and it really shows. Highly recommend!!! Plus, they do fun holiday themed activities and professional photography regularly. Love it!

Our English bulldog puppy has been coming here for over five months now and he loves it. The staff is always SO friendly and helpful with everything from drop offs to pick ups and anything in between. Everyone is very knowledgeable about anything dog related, the trainers really seem to know what they’re talking about when it comes to training techniques. Will gladly recommend this location for any daycare or boarding needs. I can tell they all love my dog like he’s their own and that’s something I could never put a price tag on, thank you guys!

Staff truly CARES about your pet! They even stay overnight so your pup isn’t ever lonely or unattended. Super accomplished for pick up and drop off too even when they’re not technically “open”. No spay/neuter requirement for group play so young dogs can keep those important hormones but still play with others! Also take dogs that don’t like other dogs and play with them one-on-one instead so they don’t just sit in a kennel all day.

The team here has been great. Always happy to see my puppy arrive in the morning (even when her excitement leaves a mess to clean up). I would highly recommend Zach for your training needs. He's been working hard to turn my energetic pup into a well rounded dog. Delilah and I thank you all!

What an AMAZING experience at Das Hund Haus! What can I say? They are by far the BEST place to have grooming done. We have not yet done their training or daycare. We plan to. Logan was amazing with our Tamale. She is like a "dog whisperer!" Tamale was very comfortable with her. He even let her blow dry him...something that he was absolutely afraid of when we went to Petco for his first grooming. At Petco, they told us he was nervous and they couldn't blow dry him because he was barking. At Das Hund Haus, Logan said she has no problems with him. He was good for everything, including the nails and blow drying. Not to mention, they were much much less than Petco! At Petco, we paid $55 for the same thing Logan did for $25. PLUS Tamale got a bandana, where Petco would charge an ADDITIONAL $5 for a bandana 😕. If you need grooming, please go to Das Hund Haus. You will NOT be disappointed. Thanks again, Logan!! ☺️

Parkway people are the best! Our little princess, Paulette, who's 16 years old by the way, has always been well taken care of. Reasonable prices, great care. We'll always use Parkway Pet Resort for our furry family members. Thanks everyone! You folks rock!

I recently boarded my dog at Parkway Pet Resort in a room with a camera, and I was impressed by how organized they were and their great communication. They offer helpful extras like slow feeders, which was a nice touch. As it was my dog’s first time interacting with other dogs and being boarded, I called a few times, and the staff was always reassuring. I highly recommend getting the camera room for first-timers to ease any worries. Their prices are reasonable for the services provided. Check out their Facebook page and website for more info. Overall, a great experience—I’ll definitely be back for when I go on vacation!

Highly recommend this place! I'm super attached to my dog so being able to have 24-hour camera access to her room was comforting. I was actually able to have a peace of mind while on vacation for once. Not only was the staff patient with my husky's territorial ways, they went above and beyond to make her stay comfortable. I also really like that they have an actual yard for her to play in which a lot of these boarding places don't. She truly enjoyed herself and I'm so happy I chose this place! For the fair price, it was truly worth it!

We boarded our Wheaten Terrier there for three days. We were in Lakeland for a visit and Parkway was recommended to us. We picked up our pooch and she looked clean and had no kennel smell at all. I would recommend Parkway and we will use them again.

The check in process could be much improved! I had to fill out pages and pages of first time paperwork. It would have been nice to have been emailed the paperwork to complete prior or do it on a tablet in the parking lot. I would have loved an online portal to see pics of the dogs during the week. We paid for snuggle time and ice cream and I just needed to trust they gave them, no pics of them enjoying their treats or anything. The staff also acts like they know your dogs better than you do. We asked for them to take our two dogs inside separately at check in. One gets very excited and he’s a runner. She insisted on doing it together and guess what happened? She dropped the leash. Made us nervous about leaving him there. Please listen to the owners! I promise we know our pets better than you do.

They have a great staff, friendly and professional. They’ve always been prompt with check-in/outs, and my baby always looks healthy and happy coming home. I switched over to Parkway Pet Resort after having issues with another local boarding facility that left my dog so depressed and distraught after a two-day stay. They are worth the extra costs for the peace of mind. Now, it feels like my baby is having his own well-deserved vacation. Thank you all for your beautiful work, and I'm grateful for your services!

I dropped my baby off on Wednesday was to pick him up on Saturday when we decided to pick him up on Friday they were wonderful not a problem we will have him ready. I enjoyed the video of him while he was outside. He seemed really happy and the staff are just amazing. This was our first time and I know we will be coming back again. Thank you guys for taking great care of my baby Rocky.

I absolutely love this place for my dog! I toured nearly every facility in Lakeland and this was the only one I felt comfortable with! The facility is super clean, the staff are very friendly, and the suites are very nice! I recommend them to everyone!

Parkway Pet Resort is fantastic! This was my first time boarding my dog due to traveling outside the country, and the staff was warm and professional. The facility is spotless, and they provided my dog with plenty of playtime. My dog came home happy and healthy. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this kennel! They do a great job taking care of our mid-sized high energy dog. They keep him safe and out of trouble. He is well taken care of and gets snuggles. I have heard many heart-breaking stories about Kennels abusing dog but in our experience, this is one you can trust. The staff are flexible, compentent and easy going. On Sundays, they have photo day and post at least one picture of each dog on Facebook! (All the attached photos are photos they took and shared on Facebook.) They have a cattery (separate building), a dog kennel and deluxe dog rooms with windows. The cheaper kennel option is recommended for high energy/escape artist dogs. You can pay for fun extras for you dog, I think they even have a room with a camera you can pay for so you can watch your dog from afar. They have quite a few grassy fenced yards so the dogs can run free and safely interact with each other through fences under supervision. They let you bring you own food/treats/toys so your dog gets what it's used to at home. They have weekend and holiday hours for drop off and pick up year round. Check them out!

Marsha has taken care of our Mini Schnauzer Sebastian many times when we need to leave home for an extended period of time. Sebastian is always well taken care of. She makes notes as to when she takes him out and how often he uses the potty. I am very particular as to who I would leave my pets care to and I NEVER worry knowing Marsha will be there for Sebastian

We could not be more DISSAPOINTED in the services we received from Marcia Berger (South Paws In-Home Pet Sitter.) She did not follow the schedule we have and agreed upon for our dogs, she was only there at our home for the overnight hours and left my 80 year old mother-in-law to deal with the dogs all day. She told us of two times she would not be there, once when she would go out with her friends Friday night at Cigar Life Lounge for a couple hours which turned into her leaving at 6pm and coming back to the house after 11pm. The other time was church on Sunday, That day she was gone from 7:30am to 3:50pm, again leaving my mother-in-law to do the job she was being paid to do. Saturday she was gone from 9:45am till after 5pm. Her website talks about how she spends quality time with our pets. When questioned on it she said she was there all night and that was the quality time. The dogs also get calming medicine given once at night with their food, they received it for breakfast and dinner on Saturday. Everything was written in black and white and ignored. Additionally she chose to smoke a cigar on our enclosed Lanai without even the common courtesy to ask us if was ok, and we were left to pick up the ashes and tobacco pieces she left behind. (oh and yes tobacco is toxic to dogs.) We also cleaned up tobacco pieces from our master bathroom toilet area, which yes smells like she smoked in there too. Her response to this was I never smoked in the house only outside with the door closed. Again without respecting us enough to ask first. I guess she forgot or didn't realize we have outside cameras (yes they are out in the open.) We hired her to take care of our dogs, which are our children. She did not. she did as she wanted and ignored everything else. She left it to the 80 year old woman in poor health to do it.

Marcia was able to help us with walking our dog and checking in on granny twice a day. Luna loved her from the time she met her. She was prompt, arrived on time and was in contact with me while I was away. I would not hesitate to leave Luna with her or use her services again.

Marcia has taken care of my 2 dogs who are like my family, like they are her family! From the time we initially met to interview up until the time we got back from vacation, Marcia was professional and very good at keeping us informed about our pets. I have used her more than once, and she continues to provide loving care! I come home and my home is just the way I left it. I’m happy and so are my dogs.. Thank you for becoming a trusted caregiver and now a good friend.

After landing in Tampa on 9/24/23 at 11:45 p.m., we received a text message from Marcia saying that her employee had let our indoor cat out of the door and it was too dark for the employee (Marcia Simonds) to try to find her. According to the video clips from home, the employee had left our property at 5:16 p.m. in the bright sunlight. The employee has not contacted us to explain what happened and when we called Marcia, she blew us off with a story that her lost cat had returned after a night missing. She promised to call us the next day to see if our cat had returned. We are still awaiting that call. In our opinion, the lack of responsibility and accountability displayed by this company, the owner, and the employees is deplorable and unacceptable. We can't, in good faith, recommend this company to care for your pets adequately.

We have used South Paws twice now, both times for about one week a piece. We have 4 cats two dogs and a fish! She was amazing! All of my animals loved her, she came twice a day and also brought in our mail for us. I love how much she truly does care about the animals and their well being while you’re away. She sent me daily photos of everyone which made me feel so happy and when we returned everything and everyone was happy and perfect. I will forever use South Paws when having to leave my fur babies 🤍

Marcia is fabulous with my kitties! She is reliable and takes such good care of my fur babies! From feeding to doing the litter boxes, I know she is taking care of it! She even leaves me a message each day! I Highly recommend her! She is trustworthy and has my key!!! Love her and so do my kitties!!! ❤️😻 …

I'm so very happy with Marcia as my cat sitter. She's very professional, on time, good with instructions. Most importantly, I trust her with my cats and in my home. She sends me pictures of them while we're away and never hesitates to get in contact with us if she has a question. My fur balls seem to be happy with her too!

I have utilized South Paws In-Home Pet Sitter’s services on several occasions now, all of which have been wonderful experiences. Not only was Dr. Marcia very communicative when I was away, but she also assured me that my pet was safe, as she made sure to send pictures of my dog each day that she visited. I would undoubtedly request her promising services again!

This was written on behalf of Heidi Wilson Marcia was fantastic with my 3 dogs! She stayed at my house with them while I was out of town and it was perfect! The dogs took to her right away and the peace of mind I had knowing that they were in their own environment, with someone who cared about them rather than in a kennel, was priceless! Her price was reasonable and I am so very glad I found her! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. -Heidi Wilson

I had the most amazing experience at Hollywoof Pet Resort this past weekend! My Great Dane got into a fly trap bag and rolled in the worst-smelling stuff imaginable. After trying to wash him three times at home with no luck, I was at a loss. I called Hollywoof, and they squeezed me in right away! Not only did the shampoo and conditioner get rid of the smell (finally!), but they also trimmed his nails and cleaned his ears. My mischievous pup now smells incredible—so soft and clean! A huge thank you to Patrice for saving the day and to the wonderful ladies up front. Everyone was so sweet and went above and beyond to help me when I didn’t know what to do. I highly recommend this place to EVERYONE and will definitely be back. Thank you so much!!!!!

Maxwell absolutely loves going to Hollywoodf All of the staff are amazingly friendly and wonderful with the dogs. I'm super excited about the new cat house! I have two cats and would definitely board them here! I highly recommend Hollywoof!

We have been going here for years. This place is amazing! My doggo LOVES coming here to be groomed and boarded. She always comes home smelling clean and with a cute bow! This holiday season they even did a personalized ornament and gave her dog treats! I can’t ask for a better place to leave our beloved family member when we go away. I always know she is in good hands. Thank you!!!

Our pups Sol and Luna seem to love it here!! They have been to daycare and boarding here multiple times and they send us pics upon request. These are some pics they sent us. They are very willing to comply with our requests and do not discriminate against dogs who are intact!

they did an awesome job with my baby obba! thank you so much patricia for taking care of him & to the rest of hollywoof as well. i could tell he was feeling himself & much more relaxed. you guys took great care of my fatboi!! 🩶 …

Don’t go there. I took my yorkie there on July 26 for a flea dip, cut & nail clip. She didn’t have fleas until she left there & they never cut her hair, they did a terrible job. I live in highland village & found 2 other people that had the same problem, don’t waste your money

Both my babies looked great. But my princess Wicked looked gorgeous and so much as a girl.

We have been getting dogs groomed at various places over the past 10 years with mixed results. Hollywoof was one of the best experiences I have had and their prices are competitive ($75 for a 50 lb labradoodle). One of the biggest issues I have had elsewhere is the groomer actually cutting the dog the way we like it; normally, after explaining how we want it done, the dog will come out with a different cut. The groomer at Hollywoof asked how we wanted it done and then asked multiple questions to make sure we were in the same page. My dog came out exactly as we requested and she was happy and clean. The groomer and staff were all friendly and the hours of operation are convenient. I will definitely be back.

Rizzo absolutely loves this place. He is always excited when I am dropping him off and I know the people there treat him right. We love when they post pictures of the dogs on FB.

Friendly and happy staff. Our dog loves spending the day here. She runs in, happy to see her friends. And she comes home happy at the end of the day. This is a rescue dog, diagnosed with PTSD because of abuse by her previous owner. She's afraid of her own shadow, trembling at loud noises. But spending time at Hollywoof brings her joy every time.

My boy loves this place! Sharon, Abby and her staff! He loves the fur friends he plays with and enjoys his daycare sessions. The entire staff and owner are wonderful and very kind. I was very nervous about my boy being in daycare first couple weeks because he’s large breed and loves everyone (even those that don’t love him due to his intimidating size). But he fit right in and staff sent me pics of him which was so calming and reassuring. Love that little extra touch of comfort knowing your fur baby is safe and thriving in good hands while at work. It’s things like that which makes Classy Canine a notch above others. You can tell they love the dogs and what they do. This is exactly the type of small business I enjoy supporting . Clean establishment and very secure fenced yard for playing and individual private kennels in climate controlled environment to escape the summer heat. Thank you Classy Canine!

Thanks so much Sharon and the crew! Great reasonable prices and nice facility! Our two doggies had a great time! Our lil one didn't want to leave when we came to get him! Great job and we will use them again!!

Sharon is the only person I trust with my fur baby Mia she is always loved and cared for and comfortable she makes Mia feel safe and loved the whole time she is there for grooming.

I took my dog Rocky for the 1st time to daycare this past Monday. He's a 2 yrs old Lab mix and is scare of his own shadow. He's never been to any other place besides his Vet and Pet Smart Grooming. I was so nervous and anxious for him, but as soon as we got there, Emily made us feel so welcome! She assured me he'll be fine and kept me updated throughout the day. She sure did! Even sent me pics, which warmed my heart. When we picked him up, I was able to meet the owner and she was a sweetheart as well. Two days later, I left him overnight for boarding and met Gaby one of the other workers and she was amazing as well. Rocky did great! Comments we received "Rocky is shy and super clean" lol I definitely recommend Classy Canines and look forward to our next daycare day and boarding days. Great facility and amazing staff and owner. Xoxo - Rocky

Sharon groomed Ozzy, my Pomeranian, for his first time. Ozzy is all hair! She was very patient and listened to my requests . I highly recommend Classy Canines and will be using Sharon again.

We absolutely love Classy Canines! We were frequent day care goers in Arizona where there are doggy daycares EVERYWHERE and none of them feel as warm and welcoming as Classy Canines! For as long as we are in the Polk County area they will always have our support!!! The photo attached is one the owner sent me for their Halloween party.

I absolutely love taking my two dogs here for daycare, boarding, and grooming. Both of my dogs love to come here. My youngest pup scratches at the door until you open it for her. They both adore the entire staff. It is one of the few places that I can truly relax when I have to leave them overnight because of the level of care they get when they are there. Sharon and her staff are amazing. Both my girls come home tired after a long day of play.

Highly recommend Sharon Chaves and her staff at Classy Canine’s! They did an amazing job with her grooming and were so patient with my 5 month old, scared of everything puppy.

I can not say enough wonderful things about these folks and services! Our 6 month old puppy loves joining the daycare group and looks so forward to when our car pulls up to their door. Sharon has guided us in so many great training tips. I can't imagine what it would have been like to bring our Harper into our lives without these great, knowledgeable and caring folks.

I love bringing my dogs here! They come back very happy and smelling good. They offer special treats you can buy for your pets while you are gone and to me it's those little added touches that make a difference. Would recommend to anyone

We can not begin to describe how wonderful this company has been to our family. They are always so courteous and kind to our dogs. They truly care about them. We have had several girls come and take care of them and each and every one takes such great care of them. When we lost our boy Lukas recently and The owner Amber had a portrait of him done. We were absolutely speechless!!! What company does that !!! Any time we have a schedule change or special request, she is always willing to work with us and accommodate to ensure the best possible care of our “kids”. We are so lucky to have found this service and have been using them for over a year

Absolutely amazing experience. I used their mobile “gym” treadmill service for my 3 boys. I have 2 huskies and a malinois, who are all very different. Amber and Marissa handled them with care and encouragement even though 2 of them were very unsure about it. They took the time to get them used to the movement and make them as comfortable as possible with this new experience. Although my Malinois could have gone for days without stopping, they did not try to push him and made sure he was not going to overexert himself. I highly recommend this service and this team. We had a great first experience and cannot wait to do it again!

I am so very happy I discovered Atta Boy!!! They are simply wonderful!! I don’t even know where to begin! I suppose the best place is with my babies. They were so comfortable with the wonderful caregivers almost immediately! Even my VERY shy 7 month old kitten was soon coming out to play at every visit! My 14 yr old Westie and Jack Russell would both sit in the window eagerly looking for them. My Westie is a real Momma’s girl and usually pines horribly when we’re gone, refusing to eat for days. Not with the the AttaBoy friends; she ate and played and was just generally happy. I can’t tell you what a comfort it is to know your pets are safe, cared for and loved on. And these awesome people REALLY go above and beyond! The fed my yard full of squirrels and birds daily, cleaned up any sort of pet mess they discovered and even swept and Swiffered the floors! And the reports! They send wonderful reports -with pics!-after every visit! I have to admit, we really looked forward to those. I could go on and on extolling their virtues, but you probably get the idea that I LOVE this service! I will let just a very few of the pics they sent me tell the rest. Thank you, Atta Boy!! Oh my goodness, I totally forgot to mention all the other wonderful things they do/did! They brought in the mail every day and watched for an important package we were expecting. If it had come, they would have given our pups their meds every day. They checked the doors and discovered I’d left one open. They restarted a fountain I had forgotten to turn back on - going to great lengths to find the switch when I gave them inadequate information to locate it - because the fountain is important to the wildlife. They took great care of the litter box, doled out treats daily and made sure the music was on for the pups. And, they left sweet and thoughtful gifts! They are the best!

Amber and team have been caring for my furry kids for a few years now. I’m always apprehensive about leaving them but the detailed e-mails and pictures always give me a huge sigh of relief when I get one after each visit. You can’t go wrong with Atta Boy!

I highly recommend Atta Boy! and their pet sitting services. In the past we have boarded our dogs with the vet or other kennel, but one of our dogs has a health condition that does not allow her to be boarded at this time. We contacted Atta Boy for their services and it was perfect for our dog's needs. They took care of everything as asked and our girl was happy & excited to meet new people. We really love the email that we get after each scheduled visit with pictures and a summary of their time with our pup. We will for sure be using their service again.

We love all the pet sitters at Atta Boy ! Animal Care LLC. We have a difficult situation with an extremely shy cat, Two younger cats, and a Bantam chicken who has to live inside. We’ve had the fire department break our door in when we were all the way up in Maine and they went to the house to check on the cats and door. Thankfully there was no fire.We also had an older cat get gravely ill while we were gone and they checked on her at the Vets the whole time until we came back. I don’t know how we could enjoy our vacations without them. They send you a report and picks each visit so you can see your pets every day. It really does help ease your mind. We highly recommend this pet sitting service!

We hired Atta Boy Animal Care to look after our cat while we were out of town. Everything about this organization was just what I had dreamed a pet sitting service could be and should be. The care and attention given was good articulation, communication, and well executed plans. I will definitely hire them again.

Atta boy pet care is completely top notch. I have tried several different types of pet care and honestly nothing compares. The staff takes care of your animals like family and treats your home with respect. The daily reports for visits are reassuring that your pets and home are getting the time they deserve. My furkids love the attaboy crew and come running when they visit- . No they aren't the cheapest service around, but you can't put a price of peace of mind.

Atta Boy did a great job taking care of our boy, Storm. It took him a little time to warm up to them but they showed him the best care. our instructions were followed and everything happened like it should have. They even left a treat bag for us to share with him when we returned home. We have already booked additional services from them. Thank you for taking great care of Storm.

These folks are the BEST petsitters in the Lakeland area! We have used them multiple times over the past few years, and we are always more than pleased with their care of our three kitties! We get a daily email with photos while we are away...The emails contains details about how the cats have been eating and drinking, and even when they have a hairball upchucked on the floor, LOL! We always return home to a house that smells fresh & clean, even though we have three litter boxes! We actually returned home yesterday from a week away and found that all three of our Litter Genies had also been emptied and taken out! Other services Atta Boy includes is bringing in the mail and taking the trash & recycling bins to the street on their collection days (they also bring them back in!) To shout-out two of our recent great sitters: Amarylis was able to get our skittish babies to come out and say hi to her and enjoy some catnip (a true miracle since these kitties are total scaredy cats). And Johnny was our sitter for our trip back in May...There was a miscommunication about not running our Roomba (the miscommunication was completely my fault), and when it ran, it spread some cat vom around in the living room. Johnny took our Roomba home with him and watched a YouTube video to guide him in doing a deep clean on it!! He also mopped our whole living room!! You really truly will never find better care for your pets (and home) than this amazing crew! We will be loyal customers forever!

Emilie's has been great. You can immediately tell she is a true animal lover... and they love her. Emilie provides prompt and professional service. She's reliable, very responsible and someone I’d highly recommend. And, I love that she sends photos and text updates.

My wife and I went away for a week on a cruise and had Emilie watch our cat for the week. We never had someone come to the house, we just usually boarded our cats. Knowing that every time we are gone we get a call from the vet saying our buddy is not eating. We found Emilie on-line and she had good reviews. We had a meet and greet with her and discussed the details. While we were gone Emilie sent daily updates with pictures. My wife and I had a much better sense of comfort knowing he was being well taken care of. I would recommend Emilie anytime and plan on using her again in the future.

Emilie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met I knew she was right for my needs. Pet/house sitter she sends so many pictures and goes above and beyond the pets needs. She is now a trusted member of my family. I received pictures of the babies and she helped with minor request I had to make sure the house stayed in order. The house was better than when I left it and the cats were happier than I ever seen them. 5 star service from an amazing person.

I was challenged with having a puppy, aging dog and one in between so stayed home a lot and never went with my family on outings. Emilie was highly recommended on the Nextdoor Ap and called her to meet and she was at my house by Weeks end to help me live again so to speak. Works last minute within our area and very prompt and reliable. The pets took to her and did their business and we enjoyed a family day once again. Very recommended for quick let outs and last minute pet needs!!She gave me some cute pics!

Emilie has been watching our cats for us for a long time. She is simply the best! Whenever we leave town, we leave our cats in her care, and we are always thrilled with how they’re taken care of. We always come home to happy cats and clean boxes. She’s good with the creatures and can even entice our more skittish and shy cats out for some scratches and pets on her visits. If you need a cat sitter in Lakeland, look no further — Emilie is simply the best!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Emily from "It's the Leash I Can Do" to take care of my two dogs, Daphne and Duke, and I must say that I am extremely impressed with her services. Emily's professionalism, communication skills, and genuine love for animals have made her an exceptional dog caregiver. From the moment I reached out to Emily, she displayed excellent communication. She promptly replied to my inquiries and was very accommodating in scheduling the dog walking sessions. Emily's attention to detail in understanding my dogs' specific needs and preferences was remarkable. It was evident that she took the time to listen to my instructions and ensure the best care for Daphne and Duke. When it comes to the actual care of my dogs, Emily exceeded my expectations. She showed immense affection and love towards Daphne and Duke, treating them as if they were her own. Their tails wagged with joy every time they saw her. Emily ensured that they received plenty of exercise and playtime during her visit, and she was always attentive to their safety and well-being. Punctuality is another area where Emily shines. She was consistently on time for every appointment, which is a quality I greatly appreciate. It's reassuring to know that I can rely on her to be there when she says she will. Overall, I wholeheartedly give Emily and "It's the Leash I Can Do" a well-deserved 5-star rating. Her professionalism, clear communication, love for animals, and punctuality are qualities that make her an outstanding dog caregiver. If you're looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about the well-being of your furry friends, I highly recommend Emily and her services.

Emilie did a great job taking care of my cat Fiona. She kept in contact with me the entire time and provided updates and pictures. Would highly recommend her.

I knew from our first meeting with Emilie that she was an animal lover. She took excellent care of our 2 cats. She was a good communicator sending texts and photos. We will hope to contract with her as needs arise.

I loved having Emilie watch Minnie (cat) for the two weeks I was on vacation! She was very attentive and gave daily updates about my kitty! She was professional and I felt comfortable giving her access to my home! I could not have asked for a better pet sitter!

Emilie was so good at taking care of my 4 cats.. she checked on them. She played with them. She brushed them. She spent time with them while I was gone and it made me feel good to have her come in and knowing that she cares about my animals. As much as she cares about her own and she treats other people's animals the same way she treats her own. She's a remarkable woman. I will always use Emilie..

👌 …

Nancy and Ashley’s doggie daycare experience has been such a blessing for us and our husky, Kyra! We know Kyra and her puppy pals are being spoiled all day long, as the photo texts are abundant and adorable! We have used Aussie Mom’s services for boarding and daycare play dates and could not be happier with the care and love Kyra receives while shes there!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy and Ashley! Our Rocky love love loves them! And we always know he’s in good hands and having a blast whether it’s for a play date or overnight boarding. They send me fun pics and texts and keep me updated on how he’s doing. Plus they’re just the absolute sweetest people ever!

I had the best experience with Ashley and Nancy , from registering Roxie up to the pick up and drop off. Roxies first play date was the best, I was sent tons of pics and text throughout the day. Roxie will definitely be going back! Thanks 😊

These ladies go above and beyond when it comes to caring for your pet. My 12 year old rat terrier, Thomas is blind and diabetic. He needs insulin shots 2x a day and lot of other special needs attention. These gals have come over just to let him outside to potty and also to give him a midday snack. They have even boarded him, giving me the opportunity to go to the beach with some family and not worry about him. They always keep me in the loop and send lots is pictures, which is so sweet! I will 💯 use these ladies over and over again! They truly love and care for your animals and it shows. ❤️

I have used Nancy and Ashley multiple times. Each time they do NOT disappoint!!!! If you want your family pet loved on just as they are at home, look no further. They have come to our home and picked up our dog with or without us home and each time it was a breeze. What a wonderful service they offer. “Dixie” has a wonderful time playing and wears herself out. (Which never happens) They have a secured back yard and send me pictures of the dogs playing. If you have a pet with special needs, they can take care of that for you too. Thank you Nancy and Ashley for giving pet owners exactly what we need while we are away!

There needs to be an option for more than 5 stars! Aussie Mom Pet Sitting does an amazing job taking care of my furry baby. I have trusted them with taking care of him for several years now and I can't tell you how relieving it is to know I don't have to worry about him when I'm gone. Be it a mid day walk or a multi day vacay, they are always prompt, reliable, and consistent. I feel like that treat my baby as well as they treat one of their own.

We feel so fortunate to have Aussie Mom in our lives. They care for our puppy as if he was their own. He comes home happy and tired. We have done play dates and overnight stays. We get lots of pictures of our little guy while we are gone. We know we can count on Aussie Mom to be our baby’s home away from home.

Awesome ladies!! They love animals and love what they do. I would never use anyone else to take care of my babies. They will even send you pics of your babies while you are away if you want.

These ladies are the best. Ollie loves them and they love her. She probably gets treated better there than at home! Lol we would highly recommend them for your pet. We would happily be a reference for anyone that has questions.🐶 …

I have known Aussie Mom Pet Sitting for years now, and they really love and care for their fur babies. They are hard workers and make sure everything runs smoothly for their clients.
