Doggy Day Care in Bruce

“My sweet little Bun loves going to Valerie's to play! She gets so excited when we pull in, so I know she's well cared for while she's there! There's an amazing backyard for her to run around and play with the other doggies, which she loves! I'm a travel nurse and Valerie has been more than accommodating with my schedule and long hours. I love getting pictures and updates throughout my day! I've booked time with Valerie for the rest of my contract while in the area :)”

I understand the nuances of pet care, from playful antics to quiet comfort. Having my own cherished "fur child" now only deepens my commitment to providing a reliable, loving, and safe environment for every animal I look after. I'm dedicated to ensuring your pet feels secure and happy while in my care. **PROOF OF CURRENT VACCINATIONS IS REQUIRED FOR ALL DAYCARE & BOARDING GUESTS** For the health and safety of my dog and all dogs in my care this is a mandatory requirement. Please send a photo with proof of up to date vaccinations prior to the beginning of service. If records are not received prior to stay unfortunately the booking will need to be canceled. Thank you! House Sitting I always offer a meet & greet so I can meet you, the owner, and introduce myself to your dog(s).

About: My animal care back ground is extensive. I grew up with three shelties and have continued to have animals into my adult life! I have a passion for Cats, Dogs and horses specifically! I Have 2 dogs and 1 cat currently! Currently I work remotely for a cat sitting company out of Austin, Texas call Austin Cat Sitters. I’ve worked as a sitter with them since 2018. That job was my life until I moved to Florida last year! In between working with this amazing company I worked for dog and cat kennels, a Cat Cafe and I was a barn manager for a business called LMB Equestrian and took care and trained 30 very fancy horses! While in Florida I spent some time working as a vet tech at a Cat care clinic in Sarasota and then was offered my remote job back with Austin Cat sitters! I jumped on that opportunity to be able to continue my cat journey with them since I was already so familiar with all of our client and their kitties I've looked after since 2018! Since I work remotely managing sitters out in the field part time I am able to pet sit on the side in Santa Rosa Beach and surrounding areas! I have vet technician experience and am able to provide medical visits. I am very confident in providing medical visits for kitties as well as cats are my specialty.:) I would be absolutely honored to care for you family member. <3 I work from home part time. My schedule is very flexible and I would be able to fit in visits or care for you pet out of my home. We have a 2 story house at the end of a cul de sac with a fenced in yard. I am home all day and would be able to provide your pets with constant care and enrichment!

“Tanya was great with our Shelby. Shelby was definitely spoiled by Tanya and family. We will definitely use her again.”

About: As fellow doodle parents, we understand the importance of finding a trustworthy and fun place for your furry family members. We offer a safe and loving home with a large yard for playtime, including squirrel-watching, pool fun, and shady relaxation. During their stay, your dog will become part of our family, enjoying lots of attention, playtime, snuggles, and even beach walks if tagged. We are committed to catering to your specific preferences and your dog's unique needs. While in our care, your pup will be treated like family, and they're even welcome to sleep in our bed, just like our own. Although I'm new to Rover, my heart has been full of love for furry friends forever. I'd be happy to schedule a meet and greet so you can feel completely comfortable with your choice. We work from home so your precious puppy will be a sweet addition to our day with our puppies. They go outside as needed throughout the day, sometimes we spend the day going in and out. LOL Your hypoallergenic pup will have a blast in our securely fenced yard, joining our two mini doodles, Chip and Penny, for fun and games! We prioritize a peaceful stay by only hosting one family at a time. As a family with allergies, we exclusively welcome hypoallergenic breeds, ensuring a comfortable environment for everyone. Our friendly doodles are always thrilled to have a new playmate and snuggle buddy.

“Brittney was extremely warm and welcoming of our dog on her first ever doggy-day-care visit. She took her on trail walks, played a lot with her and sent us updates and pictures throughout the day! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be taking her back to spend the day with Brittney again soon!”

About: I would honestly rather spend time with dogs than most people! My experience also includes senior pets. I’ve cared for dogs since I was a teenager. I am a small business owner with periods of free time in between work projects! I set my own schedule & enjoy free time with dogs. I have a small Yorkie who loves all people and other pups, and who would love play dates with other dogs! Let’s get them together.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and professional photographer, I make sure your pup is not only cared for but also captured in fun photo updates while you’re away. 🐾📸 I live just 100 feet from the water, which means daily walks by the beach and even safe swims for pups who love the water. For owners who’d love something extra, I also offer optional keepsake-quality pet, family, or couple sessions with your furry friends. ✨ ✨ What sets me apart: • Lots of love & attention — I treat every pup like family. • Beach walks, fresh air & swims — plenty of daily exercise and fun. • Photo updates — every stay comes with happy pictures, plus the option to book special portraits. • Flexible care — boarding, daycare, drop-ins, or walks tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup loves cuddles on the couch, long walks, runs, or playful fetch sessions, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. 🐶💛 Can’t wait to meet your pup! Send me a message anytime — I respond quickly and am happy to answer any questions. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs lots of attention throughout the day. Morning walks are part of my routine, and I build in regular potty breaks, swim at the bay nearby, and playtime time during my workday. In the evenings, I love taking longer walks or spending time outside so pups can burn off energy before winding down for the night. On weekends, I often plan extra outdoor activities like beach walks or trips to dog-friendly trails here in 30A. Your pup’s routine will easily fit into mine — I adjust my day around their needs to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, dogs are always supervised and have access to both safe indoor areas and a large fenced yard with shade trees where they can run, play, and relax. I also live just 100 feet from the bay, so pups enjoy plenty of fresh air and scenic walks right by the water. I make sure every dog gets the right balance of exercise, play, and rest while keeping their routine consistent with what they’re used to. On walks, I only use secure leashes and harnesses, and I never allow dogs off-leash in unsafe areas. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the same level of safety and comfort.

About: I believe your dog should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their with their owners. Since I have grown up being a dog owner my whole life I know what pets entail and how responsible you have to be. I live in a safe college house with 3 other girls my age that also love having pets around when we can. I have had a small and large dog so I can handle all sizes. If chosen, I will provide a fun and and stress free environment for your pet to enjoy. I do not have a specific / certain communication style when it comes to dog sitting. However, if wanted, I can modify to your liking. Thank you for your time and consideration.

“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter, as a first time Rover/sitter user, I wasn't sure what to expect. She easily put us at ease. Our pup loved her so much.”

About: Homeschool mama who’s very organized, clean, fun-loving that enjoys pet sitting. Large home with gated yard and neighborhood park across the street. Have owned 2 cats and 2 dogs in last 22 years. Currently have a small Yorkie for family pet. Our children enjoy playing and taking pets on walks. We are home most days. Familiar with and can handle small dogs not yet potty trained. Pets need to be comfortable around children and safe for small children. Flexible with drop off and pick up times. Prefer to meet your pet before stay to ensure good fit. Will not watch Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, or Chows due to small children at home. Looking forward to watching your fur baby. Thank you kindly! Sincerely, Angela

“Kameliya and her family took our Odin in with very short notice and gave him a great place to stay + play while we enjoyed some not not so pet-friendly leisure time at Destin. She sent me a picture of him with one of his doggy day care play friends and he was so tired after, so we think he had a really good time! We will definitely use Kameliya again!”

About: Hello, my name is Brittany (Conklin) Salyers. We have just recently moved from NY back to FL. Ive been in animal care since 2011, not counting personal ownership. I have the medical and behavioral knowledge needed to care for any pet. At this time I only watch dogs in my home. Hopefully we can expand that in the near future. While in my care they would enjoy unlimited time outside when we are home, naps on the couch, inside play time, and the energetic company of my dogs. Should your pet enjoy bedtime in a kennel, I can provide this. Or should your pet rather to sleep in bed with me, I welcome that as well. I aim to make your pet feel at home. For a successful visit you pet would need to be friendly with small kids, cats, and my own small/medium dogs. If your pet is on medication, I can provide quality care as well. I have experience with pets who are diabetic, have seizures conditions, pets who need fluid treatments during the visit, and several other conditions needing medical treatment. I am comfortable with working with pets who have fear aggression too. I can also provide transportation should your pet need an emergency vet visit. Keeping an owner updated on their pet is my biggest priority. I love sending updates with pictures and stories from our day. Rest easy knowing your pet is safe and loved while your away. About myself: I was a kennel manager for a local large veterinary facility from 2011 to 2015. Then worked as a lead receptionist and vet assistant from 2015 to 2021. Im from Florida but moved to NY in 2011. In February I moved my family back to Florida. During my time in NY we also worked with the local SPCA doing foster care. We worked with a number of different pets and medical conditions. I specialize in neonates, and fear aggression. We often took in pets who would have otherwise not been adoptable. We would host these pets, working through their issues until we found their forever homes. We welcomed a new baby in August 2023. While this does not take away from the care we provide, some dogs can be more sensitive to the little ones. If you feel your pet may be more sensitive please let me know. 🙂 My husband and I do our pet care as a team. Unless we are running to the store or an appointment, your pet will never be alone. My husband works full time and I currently am a SAHM. My oldest two kids are in school and my youngest turned one August 2024. Your pet would be integrated into our daily playtimes and down time. 🙂 We have a fully fenced in property and plenty of land to play and run on. Should your pet need to be more at hand, we have a smaller fenced in area attached to our home. We do have kennels available for smaller dogs, for larger dogs you would need to provide your own kennel. At this time we are only housing small and medium dogs, Large dogs are case by case.

About: I have always lived in a house with dogs and I love having them around and taking care of them! I have taken care of dogs for years now and hope to continue to do it into the future. I am available full time throughout the summer season for families that are traveling or just need a few nights out of town but cannot bring the pets! I can house sit, board, and walk your pets whenever is needed. I also will be around enough to ensure that your pets will be able to go outside whenever needed. If you pet chooses to stay with us, I have a loving golden retriever at home as well :) I have a dog at home, Norman, so caring for a pet is something I do everyday. I am used to taking him out and feeding him on a regular schedule so it will be easy for me to do the same with your pet :) I have a spacious home with my loving Golden retriever, Norman. We have a fenced in backyard and dog park here that is available for the dogs to run around in if wanted.
