Doggy Day Care in Bithlo

“Very nice family, our pup was asleep shortly after getting picked up, he was worn out from play time with the other dogs. We were happy to have a place to take care of our Mini Schnauzer on a holiday, Thanksgiving Day, while we had to be away from home all day and unable to take him with us.”

“Kiara was exceptional! She sent updates, photos and was super fast to respond. Best part was that my fur baby came home exhausted from a fun day of playing!”

“It was a pleasure meeting Kerri during the meet and greet and being to talk with her and see where my dog would be spending her day. This gave me the level of comfort and confidence I needed to book a day care and extended stay reservation. I enjoyed working with her as she sent timely notifications, picture updates and a report card at the end of the stay. My dog was cared for and loved. I will recommend her and continue to book her care through the app! My pup and I are very happy customers!”

About: Hi, I’m Amaia! Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and becoming a veterinarian has always been my career dream. Before the pandemic, I worked as a veterinary technician at a pet clinic, where I gained hands-on experience and learned essential skills like pet first aid and CPR. My family has fostered dogs since I was a baby and that deep love and respect for animals has been passed down through generations onto my daughter now too. When your furry family members are with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own. They’ll have freedom to roam the house (unless you prefer otherwise) and will receive the love, attention, and care every pet deserves. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working full time in order to provide the absolute best care and companionship for your pet while you are away, I am available in case of emergencies and last minute needs 24/7 everyday of the week. My home is your pets home during their stay, the house is dog/cat/baby proofed to make sure even the more mischievous of pups or kitties are in a safe environment.

“Annie is so comfortable at Nancy's house that she runs in and immediately starts playing with her two dogs. Nancy provides just the right home away from home for our puppy!”

About: Usually when people small talk, the topic of animals comes up. “What type of pets do you have??”. Nothing prepares them for the “Oh!! I have a bearded dragon, ball python, cockatiel, and toads…I also foster dogs and cats”, sentence. Their faces never get old 😅. You heard me right though! Not only have I owned cats/dogs, I also pride myself in having owned a vast variety of reptiles/amphibians/avian/small mammals over the years. I have been fostering both cats/dogs for the past year as well. Providing me with experience in grooming, bathing, administering meds, enrichment, and attention. I’ve dealt with many emergent situations, strengthening my knowledge and preparedness with any animal. Why stop at just cats and dogs when you could enjoy so much more? What separates me from other sitters are the platters I’ve already been dealt. Fostering, as well as owning non traditional animals, has thrown me for several loops that I would’ve never experienced by just owning a cat or dog. Pet care is the majority, if not all of my daily housework. When I foster animals, all of them need hourly upkeep on food, medicine, and play time. Easily translatable to your pet! My apartment is deep cleaned on a weekly basis; a necessity when caring for many animals. I value a organized, clean space for all my animals. I care for pets by providing basic necessities, plenty of toys, and a loving space for them to thrive in. My animals receive weekly, if not daily, wellness checks. I check for weight loss, dehydration, fleas/lice, nail length, and matting. When feeding, I make sure everyone gets proper nutrition (with a few treats ;)) and there are no signs of fatigue or unwillingness to eat. Proper behavioral signs are noted, and I can catch on to behavior that is abnormal and needs attention.

“My baby Azora has been going to Vanessa for a couple of weeks now. In the beginning I was very nervous, but Vanessa and her family provided an immense amount of comfort and reassurance. Vanessa and Luke are two vital people in Azora’s life, and I am extremely grateful for her care over my 2 month puppy. I highly recommend selecting Vanessa as your pet sitter!”

“Lorraine is very friendly and really seems to like dogs. I was calm about leaving my love with her. She responds to all messages and was very helpful. Thanks!”

“It was my first time leaving my fur-baby with Ella & her husband and our meet & greet was great!! Right from the start they made me feel very comfortable with leaving my fur-baby. Their home was very nice and clean which is a top priority for me. Ella was so kind and she was GREAT with my fur-baby. I love that Sir Spencer got all the attention because she only keeps one dog at a time. Ella was very thorough with asking questions about Sir Spencer and I was very impressed that before our meet and greet she had already read his profile!! I received photos and videos throughout the day. She communicated with me and responded very quickly. Sir Spencer will definitely be back!!! Ella was Fantastic!!!!!”

“Kayla was great! Parker has allergies and she took great care of him and even recommended some things that have worked for her dogs!”

About: Our family has taken care of both large and small dogs for over 20 years. We have 1 dog of our own who we shower with love and attention. We will care for and love your pets like they are our own. My 2 daughters (15 and 17) and I care for your pets as a team providing lots of care and attention to your pet. We offer services to include: drop in care on pets in your home, walks, and boarding within our home. With boarding within our home we will take your pets on walks every 2-3 hours, play outside in our fenced in yard and give them lots of cuddles. We love watching fur babies and will make them feel like a part of our family. You will have no doubt they are beyond loved and cared for when they are with us! We have a fenced in yard with 1 very friendly dog to keep your fur baby busy and feeling loved. My girls love running around and playing with the dogs and will be sure to give them as much cuddles as they want.

“Bella had a great play date with Clara! I fully intend on revisiting.”

About: Hi!! My name is Chelsea. My husband, Steven and I recently lost our soul dog of 13 years, Rudy. He was the best, grumpiest, sweetest little sunshine boy in the whole world. We really miss having fur babies around us but aren't currently ready to adopt yet. We thought we'd open our home to other doggos whose parents need to getaway for vacation or who need someone to check in on their babies during the day 💕💕. I was a VERY anxious dog mama so I understand how scary it can be to leave your baby with someone else. I'm happy to provide loads and loads of photos (proof of life as I like to call it 😉) as well as any do any other little activities/tasks that might make you feel better about leaving your baby (happy to FaceTime you, sing them the lullaby you sing at night, etc 😘). Our sweet boy passed after living with Canine Cognitive Disorder for a year, so while we love doggos of all ages, we have developed a soft spot for seniors 💕🙏🏻. We'd love to give all the snuggles and walks and treats and love to your fur baby while you're away 💕💕 My husband and I both work full time from home so your fur baby will get lots of attention if staying with us! I'm a morning person so I'm happy to do early walks or early breakfast times. We have a fenced in yard and are VERY diligent about keeping the gates locked (and doors closed). We have a small doggy door if your baby would like to go "in and out" all day, but are also happy to keep that shut for your peace of mind. I love spending time in the yard so your baby will have lots of company!

“We have utilized Tiffany’s dog sitting service more than once, and will likely return again! They’re reliable, send photos, and make sure my pup gets lots of attention. He always returns tired (which I take as a good sign that he has lots of playtime!). Thank you Tiffany!”

About: I have spent many years volunteering at a wolf rescue. 12 years spent locally fostering and foster fails which we have adopted into our home. All breeds I have experience with and even fish and small animals. I have to add this notice so new customers understand something. I am alerted to, and respond to, and answer all questions and requests in about a minute 24/7. When you have a question I answer it quickly. So please hold off on your questions after 9:00 pm and before 7:00 am, I need my beauty rest. I am up early each day, (by 7:00 am) to take care of your questions and requests. Drop off and pick up hours are 7:00 am to 8 pm for drop off, and to 9 pm for pickup. Rover may be contacted 24/7 (888) 453,7889. Also dogs must be crate trained, and dog friendly, they are crated at night and during drop off and pick ups, or meet and greets, for any other guests to prevent escapes or any possible bad interactions. Because I am looking for you at your appointed time, I can no longer accept appointments that span an hour or two, or even 30 minutes (Your doctor or dentist doesn't accept that either.) I can't do any thing else if I am looking for you, and if I get several drop off and pick ups a day each wanting hours I spend most of my day staring at the driveway. Therefore specify the "SPECIFIC" time that you know you can be here, not a range of time, of when you might feel like getting here. You can always text with a request for a time change, just please do it ahead of time, instead of when you're already late and my time has been wasted, and the other guests have been unnecessarily crated, while waiting for your arrival. If you specify a time range for either drop off or pick up I will assume that you would like me to choose what works best for me and I will specify a specific time for you. I have found the least amount of confusion and barking for the dogs that may already be here, and easiest drop off and pick up for the client is to meet you in the driveway. Text me with your ETA and I will be looking for you and I will come out to get your dog from you in the driveway, and bring them back out to you in the driveway. Knocking on the door results in overexcited and barking dogs and I don't bring dogs thru the front door anyway. Dogs are brought out to the back yard to settle down and have potty time before going inside to meet any others that may be here, one at a time. I keep my dogs free of fleas and ticks with monthly flea prevention. I expect dogs coming here are clean and free of fleas. When you bring a dog with fleas it could infect my entire house and I have to flea bathe your dog and spray my entire house to be sure other clients don't get fleas. This is time consuming and expensive, so be sure your dogs don't bring fleas here. I also expect your dog to be clean, odor free and free of ticks, accepting a stay here means you accept the fact that you will be billed for a bath that is needed, if they arrive here in need of one. You dog will be on my furniture and living in my house and I will not have dirty smelly dogs doing that. I also expect the dog to have a proper fitting collar in which I can place a temporary ID tag with my information. They should also have a leash so I can bring them back out to you, at pickup time. I accept meet and greet requests but do not require them. Your itinerary will show my address and contact information after we have set up a stay or meet and greet. Please specify date and time you request so I can approve it. That's the best way to meet me and check out my place, as the site will send us both each other's information by viewing the itinerary. You will receive my address and phone number that way, and I will be given your phone number. You can see my location by looking for "Bruce's Neighborhood" on my profile page. I am very close to the Oviedo High School, and Lawton elementary schools. When making any request for either Daycare or Boarding include in the comments, what your needed drop off, and pick up times will be. I need to be prepared for your arrival and need it for calendar scheduling, and proper price quoting. If your stay is more than, even 24 hour days, like an early drop off one day and a late pick-up the next day, let me know what you need and request an adjusted price. My boarding rates are based on a 24 hour day not 36 hours. I will be happy to watch your dog for 36 hours or whatever you need but you will receive an additional charge for the additional time. I tried watching puppies but have come to realize that because they demand so much attention, that it takes away from the time I need to spend with the other guests, therefore in fairness to all the dogs that I board, I have sadly have come to the decision that it is not fair to my other guests, to spend all my time with one puppy, and therefore must decline accepting any more puppies. I need to spend time with all guests not just one demanding puppy. Compare what I offer to the others. Retired and home full time, not gone to work like most people. Huge backyard with a safe and secure vinyl privacy fence, (check out the pictures). (Dogs have plenty of room to run and play, and stay on my property, I don't take dogs out on a leash and take a chance of escape or being attacked, safety is my first priority.) A large home not an apartment. Fifty plus years working with and training dogs. Who else offers all this, and I am still very competitively priced. Dogs are normally allowed to run free in the house and share the furniture with me, but are crated at night when I sleep and unable to watch them, to prevent any problems and to keep them safe. They are let out early each morning and allowed to roam the house and use the doggy door again. I have been working with dogs for over fifty years and presently do volunteer training at a local dog rescue. I am very familiar of how to care for your dog, and know your dog will be happy in my home and large fenced back yard. I have two small friendly dogs for them to play with, if they like that. I am retired and home almost always, my wife may watch the dogs if I have to step out for a short time. To make sure you dog is safe while under my care, they will be provided a clean bed and crate for night time when everyone should be asleep, just to be sure there is nothing happening that would be unsafe for them. I don't know any better way to insure their safety if I am asleep and not able to be watching them, be suspicious of anyone that claims to never crate your dog. When I wake up early, they are free to go outside or enjoy the house and furniture. You can leave your dogs here with complete confidence that a very experienced handler, and dog lover will be looking after them. Drop off and Pick up times flexible. If you're looking for the best place for your dog, and the best deal going, you just found it. Keep in mind a day is 24 hours. An early drop off on one day, and late pickup the following day is not a day and will have an upcharge. For that reason and for scheduling, please state your drop off and pick up times when requesting your boarding days. At the same time, a drop off and pick up that spans 2 days but is only 24 hours is only charged as one day, not two, like at some boarding places. One final note: I do not accept recurring bookings. I will refuse any such requests. Each booking must have a starting and ending date and time. I will allow you to make multiple bookings even months in advance to accomplish the same thing, but I need to be sure I am available for each booking, before I can accept it. A single booking can be multiple days or even weeks long, but it has to have a starting and ending date and time. I just can't promise availability on a forever basis. ******************* OPTIONAL READING ********************** What to look for in a new pet care giver.Find someone that sends pictures to you multiple times a day, and to 100% of the clients, like I do.

(16) Find someone that sends pictures several times each day, like I do. Note: If you found all these things in one place congratulations, you just found me. I know of no other place that can make all these claims, and still be very reasonably priced. I am up by 5am to take your calls and receive your pet for boarding or daycare. I receive dogs until 8pm and allow pickup until 9pm. I expect a text with your ETA before arrival, so I can meet you out front or in the driveway to take care of your pet needs. I have a fenced yard and only will do long walks at owner request as off leash dogs can act anyway. I have a huge well cared for backyard and a doggy door so dogs have plenty of time and space to get all the exercise they need. Dogs are normally free roaming during the daytime when I can watch them, but crated at night when sleeping for their safety. Pet care is a priority for myself and with my dogs and other small animals, I wake early to walk them and feed them because animals should be cared for as well as we care for ourselves and children. I care for all pets as if they are my own. Whatever needs your animal has, it would be my pleasure to make sure that they keep their routines and stay as familiar with the day as possible while being cared for by myself. What is Required__ Flea & Tick: All dogs must be on flea and tick prevention. Please make sure you treat your pet now and continue monthly applications throughout the rest of the year. We have the right to refuse any dog that has a flea/tick infestation. Vaccinations: For the safety of your dog, it is vital that he/she be current on all vaccines. Having your pet vaccinated is the best and least costly way of preventing disease. Without proper vaccination, he/she will be left unprotected. Please bring a copy of latest vaccination records, either on the day of the meet and greet or the day you drop off. We will make a copy to keep for our records. Dog Profile: Make sure to fill out your dog's "Profile" on Rover so that we can have a better understanding of him/her. Give detailed feeding instructions. Provide emergency contacts and vet information, especially if you will not have phone service while on vacation. What to bring: Food, food bowl, collar, and vaccine record. Dog's regular food, enough food for the entire stay, and a little extra in case you have a flight delay, etc. Please do not switch his/her food a few days before coming to our home because changing the food abruptly can cause diarrhea in some dogs. Bring food bowl, we have plenty of water bowls. We have extras but prefer you to bring his/her regular food bowl. Dog collar with name & rabies tags is required __Things to Keep in Mind__ Meet & Greet: We always offer a free Meet & Greet to new potential clients. It gives everyone a chance to get to know each other and to see where your pup will be staying. It allows me to connect with your dog and make sure he/she has a successful stay with us. For those visiting out of town, we can communicate by phone and determine if this is the right place for your pup. Also, there are times when you have an emergency and are unable to do a meet and greet. We will try to do our best to accommodate if this happens. Spay/Neutered: It is highly recommended that all dogs be spayed and neutered due to the nature of the care we provide. We can not accept females during their heat cycle. Males that are intact and mark everywhere in our home or show possessive tendencies towards a particular dog will not be allowed back. Just to clarify-some male dogs may start sniffing around and might pee the first time they enter my home. In most cases, it only happens once and it is not a problem throughout the rest of the stay. Some females can also pee mostly from excitement this is also understandable. Most dogs that are neutered at a young age will rarely exhibit any marking or humping behavior. Pups do have accidents and that is not a problem. I always have bleach, urine remover, water and paper towels handy to clean up in such instances. Senior Dogs: We are happy to provide care for older dogs or those with special medical or health needs.
