“I am so thankful I found Monica. We had a last minute trip we had to take and she was available. She was amazing with my girl. We had some accidentl behavior issues and she was a sweetheart. We unfortunately lost our pitbull a week prior to Zaylah's stay (that made it zaylah's first stay without her sister of 10 years) and she a complete wreck. Which made me a wreck knowing I had to leave her in such a state. But Monica helped her feel comfortable, helped her eat (which is one of the issues we were having with her) . Hands down I am so lucky I had an opportunity to meet her. I highly recommend Monica I am definitely going to book again!”


“Jennifer had 2 of my babies for 10 days and she took great care of them. She is definitely an animal lover and it shows with her interactions with the dogs. I have a senior pup that I was worried about leaving, but he seems to be in better shape than when I left him.”


“This was our second time trusting Marcela to watch all 3 of our big dogs! (Shes the only person thats ever watched our dogs..ever!) And we are SO happy with her♥️ She sent multiple videos every day, wrote silly things that happened and took super good care of them! They ran and played, met other dogs and she kept them on their regular schedule. We love her!!!!”


“We were so happy with the wonderful care Floyd and Connie gave our little guy, Bingo. I would give them ten stars if I could. They are the best. Bingo who hadn't been boarded overnight until now, and we thought would be very fearful, was his usual happy self, based upon all the pics they sent during his stay. We will absolutely board him again with them and now I won't be at all apprehensive about leaving him. ***********”



“Donna and George are perfectly lovely and they took great care of my ladies for two nights/three days. I love out of state and Donna and I coordinated everything well before the appointed boarding time. I highly recommend them and will book with them again the next time we need dog boarding while in the North Port area.”


“Damaris, was great! She has excellent communication skills with us as clients. Sent pictures and updates! 5stars for her. Michael our dog was well taken care of and was so happy. Thank you Damaris, We will definitely recommend and use you guys in the future!!”


“Linda and James treated our 2 little Biewer Yorkies like there own. We received daily updates and pictures which definitely helped put our mind at ease since this was the first time we left them with a sitter. We would definitely use them again and wanted to thank them for the great care the provided our two little dogs ?.”


“Melissa took wonderful care of my Mila while I was out of town. Melissa provided pics of Mila along with updates during her stay. I felt very at ease leaving my fur baby with her. Her dog Rocky is adorable and is great with other dogs as well. I will definitely request Melissa again for future trips.”



“Shelley is amazing. Shelley sent pictures everyday of my buddies and updated me throughout their stay with her. I absolutely will use Shelley again and recommend her to everyone looking for a great sitter.”


“Daniel was recommended by my dog's sitter because she was unavailable at the time. Great recommendation! Me and my son both said to each other that we felt very comfortable leaving Dutchess in his care.”


About: We've always had one or more dogs in our household. We absolutely love animals and love socializing our pups. I have frequently cared for friend's and family's pets during vacation. The more the merrier! I work remotely in the home Monday though Friday and am available for frequent potty breaks, snuggles and play time as well as long walks around the neighborhood. We have two friendly fur babies, a 10 year female Boxer and a 2.5 year old American Bulldog who love playing in the yard, house and long walks around the neighborhood. I also have an exercise pen if you have a smaller dog that needs time alone to relax from playing with the other dogs.

“Patricia made sure to provide updates on how Finn was doing. Her home became Finn’s home, allowing him to roam freely and have all the bed snuggles he wanted. Her dogs instantly made Finn feel welcomed and comfortable in a playful environment. Patrica was very friendly and tentative. I will definitely be happy to leave Finn in her caring hands anytime I have to leave for an extended time.”


“My fur baby is a diabetic and her sugar drop very low in the middle of the night and she heard her thrashing around and saved her by giving her honey and bringing her sugar back up. Took awhile for her to get back to normal, but she stayed by her side and then put her in her room for the rest of the stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!❤️”


About: I have been taking care of my pets for many years and I have a veterinarian assistant diploma so I will provide your pets best care. Caring for pets is an integral part of any routine, especially when running a facility like Arcadia Pet Resort. Here’s how pet care can fit into a daily or weekly schedule: Daily Routine: 1. Morning Care: • Feeding pets with appropriate meals based on their dietary needs. • Administering any required medications. • Cleaning kennels and bedding to maintain hygiene. • Taking pets for walks or allowing playtime to ensure exercise and stimulation. 2. Midday Activities: • Providing enrichment activities like games or toys to keep pets engaged. • Offering check-ins and monitoring each pet’s behavior and well-being. • Grooming sessions as needed, such as brushing coats or trimming nails. 3. Evening Care: • Feeding dinner and ensuring pets are relaxed and settled for the night. • Final walks or potty breaks to maintain comfort. • Double-checking that all pets are safe, secure, and comfortable. Weekly Care: 1. Deeper Cleaning: • Sanitizing play areas, feeding bowls, and bedding thoroughly. • Checking and maintaining facility equipment. 2. Health Monitoring: • Scheduling check-ups for any pets that require special attention. • Updating health records and communicating with pet owners. 3. Special Activities: • Hosting group play sessions or training exercises for socialization. • Celebrating pets’ birthdays or milestones with treats and special care. At Arcadia Pet Resort, we primarily care for pets in our dedicated facility, but our approach ensures that pets feel as loved and comfortable as they would at home. Here’s how we tailor care in different scenarios: In Our Facility (Pet Resort): 1. Personalized Attention: • We learn each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences. • Pets are treated as individuals, ensuring their unique needs are met. 2. Comfortable Environment: • Clean, climate-controlled accommodations with cozy bedding. • Safe indoor and outdoor play areas for exercise and socialization. 3. Routine and Structure: • Scheduled feeding, walks, and playtime to create consistency. • Quiet time for rest, mimicking a home-like atmosphere. 4. Emergency Preparedness: • Staff trained in pet first aid. • Quick access to local veterinarians for unexpected health issues.

“Stephanie was a great sitter for us while we took an extended vacation without the pup. She was amazingly flexible with taking care of our dog an extra couple days when our schedule changed. We were happy with the updates and communication, it looked like our little guy had a great time.”
