Doggy Day Care in Desoto Lakes

“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

“Catalina was absolutely amazing in taking care of my dog, Banyan! From the start, she showed incredible expertise and genuine care, making sure Banyan was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication is top-notch—she’s always responsive and keeps you in the loop. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable pet caregiver. Banyan adored her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Thank you Audrey and Carson!! I know Mia had the best day (she’s currently out cold on the couch) It was a super last minute reservation and they were more than accommodating and answered very quickly. Thank you too!”

“We had the best experience using Thelma and Gary to care for our two furry children. While visiting FL for 6 weeks, we left them for daycare about a dozen times. Thelma was very attentive to our dog's needs. We always left for the day feeling confident that they were safe and well cared for. The house is immaculate. There is a nice outdoor space for the dogs. In addition to walks, she will often take them to the park for more exercise. My girls were happy and tired at the end of the day. I highly recommend Thelma & Gary, and plan to use them again when I return for my next FL visit.”
