Animal Lovers Pet Sitting & Dog Boarding

Animal Lovers Pet Sitting & Dog Boarding of Tampa Bay runs cage-free dog boarding in Lutz, FL, on a 5-acre ranch property. Dogs stay in a home-and-yard setting rather than in runs, and the same operation also handles pet sitting and horse boarding.

What the property offers dogs

The main draw for most dogs is a two-acre fenced yard for running and play. Past the fence line the setting is wooded, so there are places to explore and sniff instead of a small enclosure to pace. Older or infirm pets have a full lower level available to them, away from the busier parts of the house.

How it differs from a commercial kennel

This is a small property-based operation, not a building full of numbered suites. Owners are encouraged to bring the bed their dog already sleeps on, which usually helps a nervous dog settle into a new place faster. Regular updates go out during a stay, so owners aren't left wondering how the week is going. The format tends to suit dogs who do better around people and other animals than behind a gate, and owners with specific separation needs should raise them when they call.

Booking and location

Reservations are handled by phone at 813-215-9309. The ranch is in Lutz, FL 33548, and the full range of services is listed at petsittertampa.com. Because bookings run through a phone conversation rather than an online form, owners can describe their dog's routine, medications, and activity level directly before anything is scheduled.
