Doggy Day Care Gulf Gate Estates

“Nicholas is our new favorite sitter! His relaxing easy going personality is a perfect fit for our two pups. I tell them on the way there that they are going to spend the day AT THE GREAT BIG YARD! So much room for activities! So many sniffs and smells and sights and yard to check out. Then, especially since it's summer, plenty of snoozing on the couch or cool tiles. Nicholas has been agreeable with some time changes and is super responsive when I have a question. We're new to Rover and will likely not look any further for a sitter now that we've found Nicholas and The Great Big Yard! Thank you, Nicholas!”

“This was my first time booking with Stephanie. I am visiting from out of town. She kept my 2 Cavaliers for the day and all went very well. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day. They got outside time in the big fenced back yard and they were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I was very satisfied and will book again.”

“Ying is extremely reliable and conscientious. And she is so aware of Val’s needs. I trust her completely.”

“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.”

“Made sure both my dog and I were comfortable. Took great care of my pup and gave my regular updates.”

About: I'm new to Rover.com as a pet sitter, but I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live near the ocean in Sarasota, FL and I'm happy to travel to neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little adventure together with your beloved pet. I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

About: 🐶 🐾 Hi friends! My name is Melissa, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs. I’ve been taking care of dogs for years — from playful little pups to gentle big dogs who just need some extra love and patience. I specialize in caring for small dogs in my home, where they’ll get plenty of attention, snuggles, and comfort — just like part of the family. For larger dogs, I’m happy to care for them right in their own home, where they feel safest and most at ease. I have experience with elderly and sick dogs, and I’m comfortable giving medications and following any special routines they need. Every dog I care for gets love, patience, and respect — because they all deserve to feel happy and secure. 💕 Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or just someone to give your pup some extra attention, I’d love to help. 📞 Send me a message if you’d like to chat or set up a meet-and-greet. I’d love to meet you and your pup. I am registered nurse currently working part time. I am able to come home and tend to your animal on my breaks on the days I am working. I get up early to take your pet on a nice walk, weather permitting. We will go out frequently during the day for fresh air and potty breaks. I am a homebody so your pet will rarely be alone. I am also available to watch your fur baby at your home. I can care for cat or dog in your home but I can only board small dogs in my home. I have a large fenced in yard. I have an enclosed lanai with a cat/dog door for access in and out if they just want to go out and get fresh air in the safety of the enclosure. I am all about safety and will never leave your furry when out in the back playing in the kiddy pool or playing with toys. I invite you to give me as many instructions as you like and call me as much as you like while I am caring for your baby. I have a very clean home that is air-conditioned and cool in the summer and toasty and warm in the winter. All animals are allowed on the furniture and will have cozy places to rest when we are not having fun, or going on walks.

I dedicate consistent time each day for walks, play, and training with Hoss, ensuring he receives mental and physical stimulation. On weekdays, I balance pet duties by prioritizing morning and evening care sessions. Weekends allow for longer playtimes and socializing with other dogs. My routine is flexible to accommodate the unique needs of any pet under my care, ensuring they feel loved and well-attended at all times. When caring for pets, safety is my top priority. In mine or the clients’ homes, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to maintain consistency and comfort. I ensure all hazardous items like cleaning supplies and medications are securely out of pets’ reach. I pet-proof the space by checking doors, windows, and gates to prevent escapes and accidents. I keep the home secure by locking doors behind me and carry keys at all times. Communication is timely and transparent, with updates and photos to reassure pet parents. My lifetime experience enables me to respond calmly in emergencies, making trust and safety paramount in every visit.
