“Fantastic place and person to leave your pet. Marcela loves and takes special care of each of her day care pets. There is a big yard about 3 acres for your pet to run around with there fellow day care residents.”


“Ana was amazing! We met her a couple days before and she and her dog Lex immediately connected with our pup, and then this morning when we went to drop our pup off, she happily trotted in the house to meet Lex instead of freaking out like she normally does when we leave her! She had a great day, we got a bunch of pictures, and she was clearly very happy when we picked her up. Very glad to have found Ana!”


“Nala seemed very at ease with Floyd and his wife. She is a very timid dog so I was happy to see her just walk off with them. They send pictures of her settling right into their home. I don’t just trust anyone with my baby, but I get good vibes from them.”

About: My husband and I have had dogs all our lives but at the stage of life where we still love having dogs around but would rather not have our own any more. This is a perfect solution to let us have pets but not in a permanent basis.

We take short walks in the evenings for excercise. We have crates IF they are needed when we have to step out.

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.

About: Mi familia y yo amamos los perros para nosotros son parte de nuestra familia. A mi me encanta cuidar de ellos, jugar y hasta dormir con ellos. Siempre quise trabajar en cuidados de perros y ahora tengo la oportunidad. Quiero ayudar a las personas a dejar a sus mascotas en algún lugar seguro el tiempo que necesiten. Tengo un perro Gran danes de 1 año y 8 meses registrado como apoyo emocional por tal razón preferiero que los perritos a cuidar sean de tamaño pequeño o mediano. Mi perro es muy juguetón y también lo tuve en cuido por 1 mes en lo que nos acomodamos en nuestro nuevo hogar aquí en la Florida. Para mi será un placer cuidar su perro con mucho amor

“Patricia and her two shitzus came out to meet me and my shitzu, Jimmy, upon arrival. Patricia invited us into her family room so we could get to know each other a bit better, to learn about Jimmy’s needs and likes and to allow Jimmy the time to feel more comfortable in the new environment Patricia texted me during the day to let me know that Jimmy was doing well. At the end of the day, I picked my happy pup up. He fell asleep on the drive home after his fun-filled visit. I highly recommend Patricia for care taking your pet.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. Running and playing sports with dogs has always been my favorite hobby. Thank you so much I can play with and care for pets all day. I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood. We have a beautiful dog park that the dogs all enjoy. Respecting the clients wishes in their homes and showing their pets lots of love is all it takes. I have spent many hours house sitting for amazing Black labs, Pit bulls, and Goldens.

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. My commitment to dogs, no matter their age, comes from the fact that I love them and I love working with them. Older dogs require a different kind of care, a little calmer, more established routines, puppies are more active, patience and lots of activity. It is important to me the routine that the owner describes for their pet, following their instructions is very important. It is a commitment to take care of a pet, I work from home so I can adapt according to the needs of the pets I agree to take care of. Walks, running on my property (+ 1 Acre) 1 hour of indoor play or more if required. Our property is fenced, our routines are established by our pets, so all security is very important to us, they will be living inside the house with air conditioning and always under my supervision. The walks will be done on a leash and according to the needs of the animal, water is essential, as well as the hours of the same. The instructions of the parents are very important to me, they will always be followed.

I got pictures from them multiple times a day and knew that my dog was in great hands! I could not have been more happy with our choice for them to care for our baby!”


Elizabeth & Sean H.
“Beth is truly one of a kind. She’s not just a dog sitter—she’s a loving, insightful, and deeply dedicated doggie mama. Every pup she meets is welcomed into her heart like part of her own loyal pack. Her knowledge of dog behavior is incredible. Beth is always learning and growing, staying up to date on the latest in canine psychology. But what matters most is the way she naturally connects with dogs—building trust through gentle leadership, patience, and kindness. Dogs absolutely love her, and it’s a joy to witness. Beth cared for my dogs (and those of our neighbors) regularly for years. They adored her. Life took me away for a while, but when we reconnected recently, my timid dog—usually so reserved—lit up the moment he saw her. He danced, rolled, and nuzzled her in pure joy. It was like no time had passed. If you’re lucky enough to have Beth care for your dog, know this: your fur baby will be safe, cherished, and truly feel at home.”
