“Enjoying the grace to bless others!”
Before starting to pursue a career in Medicine, I've always had a passion for animal care. Being able to spend time with animals, whether it's dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, or even fishes and reptiles, is always a pleasure for me. I have experience in training and taking care of all types of dogs, and it has been a blessing to be able to offer a good and genuine service to people who love their dogs as much as I love mine.

“I love and treat your pet(s) like my own!”
My name is Tarah, I was raised with a dog and volunteered an entire summer at an animal shelter when I was 11 years old. I have worked in animal clinics in the kennel area cross trained as a vet tech and worked in doggie daycares feeding, medicating, playing, bathing and sitting dogs. I have had 3 of my own in the past and miss them dearly! I enjoy being outdoors and the company of a furry friend while exploring. If I am delayed in getting to your fur baby for their walk I stay out a bit longer.

Dog Walking in Lakeland
Situated close to Tampa in sunny Florida is the small city of Lakeland. Full of charm, markets, flowers, and of course, swans, it is truly a unique destination. Lakeland is famous for its care and concern for swans, almost as much as England. They also provide plenty of lovely places for take your other animal companions as well.
Lakeland became famous for their swans as early as 1920, when people were keeping them as pets. Preposterous to think about in today's society, isn't it? Unfortunately, the swan population in Lakeland died out completely about thirty years later. Lucky for Lakeland, a kind woman named Mrs. Robert Pickhardt reached out to the Queen for assistance. Queen Elizabeth is famously known for her ownership of all swans in England, so of course she obliged this request. Now, sixty years later, the swan population flourishes once again in Lakeland. If you are ever there in October, you may be lucky enough to watch the annual "Swan Round-Up"; this is an event where veterinarians round up every swan in Lakeland to check on their health. It is a big deal, and nearly everyone in the town goes to watch it.
If you are not so much the avian type, there are still plenty opportunities of things to do with your furry friends. For example, there is a lovely dog park who was erected in memory of a K-9 Unit dog who was killed in the line of duty. There are both on and off-lead areas where your dog can play. You can even let Fido test his skills on an agility course! Also, for added safety, there are separated areas for big and little dogs, so no one gets their paws stepped on. Lakeland is a wonderful place to take in the sunshine and warmth and what better way to do it with your pet at your side? Try something unique today and visit Lakeland!
