House Sitting in Indian Shores

“Jennica was awesome! Highly recommend! All 3 dogs loved her. She kept them entertained, safe, and happy the whole time we were gone and sent pictures and updates daily! It was such a relief for us to know they were in great hands.”

“Cindy was an excellent sitter staying in our home. She took care of our two dogs like they were her own. She was very helpful in bringing our packages in and more importantly our two girls got lots of love and attention. We will definitely use her to stay with our dogs again! Highly recommend!”

About: Myself and my wife have enjoyed our lives basically surrounded by dogs. When we were young and first married, we bought a house in the woods with two acres to build into a dog sanctuary. We breed and raised dobermans and danes. We built kennels and fenced in park for our kids (dogs). Our house was a paradise for dogs with a walk in basement and garage, heated and air conditioned complete with sofas, dog beds, carpeting and TV. We lived in Indy at that time. All our dogs were kept inside while we worked and always kept in ac and heat depending on season. The outdoor kennels has a large roof overhead and a deck off the back which lead to our wooded fenced in back yard(1 acre). We constructed a 200 foot walkway throughout the woods with well first class lighting. The property was on o hill and at the back a 20x 20 deck was at the end of the walk way. Our pool was a large 40x20 foot pool. All dogs trained on where steps were (pool school) and the dogs compound was separated by 5 foot chain link fence. All dogs were taken to obedience training by myself and my wife. We had one litter of 8 Doberman puppies and kept three puppies with their mother. When the mother passed we adopted a black Great Dane, she was 7 months old and spent half her nights downstairs in the kennels and lounge area with Jaba our largest pup to be his best friend. We always had two dogs in our bedroom, alternating both couples from downstairs to upstairs. People would say “ when I die I want to come back as one of Dan and Terry’s dogs”. We were fortunate to have the facility, which we designed and built, to make everything work so well. After our litter of dobermans aged and expired, we needed a friend for our Dane ( Molly Dane). We went to a no kill humane society event with our Dane and found a perfect Lab mix who just adored her. The name they had given him was Chauncey. We brought him home and showed him all his new home. He loved the woods, the pool, the kennels and the freedom of the back woods. He, however, was escape artist. The woods was all fenced with 5 foot brown chain link fence, but he kept getting out. We would search the neighborhood till we found him. We determined he could not jump the fence but rather he would climb it to escape. Given time, he would also dig under. We then added an invisible fence to the top of our fence only on the outer perimeter ( over a mile of wire). We trained him if he got within 3 feet of the fence, he was warned with an audible tone from his collar. However, if he got close enough he would receive a shock. This system worked great. Later, however, he had no desire to even leave his house and he loved his Dane. We, shortly later, rescued a Jack Russell from an apartment life which lacked human companions due to long work schedules. We kept him for a month and found a great home for him with another Jack Russell and a fenced back yard. We later rescued a wiener dog,who had nipped a kid, and was destined to be put down. He became a member of the family because my wife feel in love with him as he looked like a Doberman puppy. We sold our home in Indy, and moved to our second home in Florida with the Dane, the Lab and the wiener. I am currently sitting in my recliner writing this with the only survivor from those years in my lap, the wiener. We now have him, 14 years old, and his little friend, Joey (a rescue wiener 10 pound chestnut colored cutie). That’s our story. We do like to travel and we definitely hate to leave our dogs. We always have friends come to the house while we vacation and won’t go if all was not perfect for their care. Rudy, the old wiener, is now 14. He is blind now and Joey is a baby lap dog. We still walk Rudy in a baby carriage. He still is enjoying the elder years as much as we can provide. We have always loved our dogs. We love all DOGS! We are retired and live in a four bedroom ranch near the ocean. I work a day or two at a country club and my wife enjoys free golf and tennis with me. We never leave our dogs more than 4 hours. We are home or nearby most of the time. See pictures. Our back yard in perfect for dogs ( fenced,safe,etc). And our house is safe and comfortable . We have turasso floors, no carpet, and an open floor plan. We walk our dogs in a great neighborhood with sidewalks and speed bumps.

“Rita was wonderful! She took care of our three dogs for 3 nights in our home. She took lots of pictures and gave us updates throughout the day. She also left our home very tidy. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

We’re a dependable, Pet CPR & First Aid certified husband-and-wife team. Safety, clear communication, and reliability are at the core of everything we do. We’ve cared for animals our whole lives—dogs, cats, lizards, even goats and chickens. Friends and family have long trusted us for feeding, walks, bathing, and in-home care while they travel. We’ve also fostered and helped rescue pets, which has been one of the most rewarding parts of our journey. From puppies and potty training to senior pets and medications, we’re comfortable supporting a wide range of needs. For doggy day care and boarding, we provide a calm, in-home environment and care for only one family’s pet(s) at a time. This allows for a safe, low-stress experience with plenty of individual attention. Oz n’ Stew Concierge Pet Care is named in memory of our two beloved dogs, Ozzy and Stewie. The care we provide reflects the same patience and consistency we gave them every day. We offer: • Doggy day care (in our home) • Overnight boarding (in our home) • Drop-in visits and walks Every pet is different, so we move at their pace and learn what helps them feel comfortable.

This allows us to provide consistent care, reliable timing, and plenty of attention throughout the day. For boarding and day care, pets are rarely left alone and are part of a calm, supervised home environment. We offer morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits and do our best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. Because we care for only one family’s pet(s) at a time in our home, availability is limited to ensure each pet receives our full attention. When caring for pets, we focus on keeping things calm, predictable, and as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible—whether in your home or ours. We follow your written instructions carefully, including feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, litter or yard clean-up, playtime, and quiet companionship. We enter calmly, secure doors and gates, and follow leash or harness routines exactly as you prefer. For shy or cautious pets, we move slowly, give them space, and allow trust to build at their own pace. We send updates with photos during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If we notice anything out of the ordinary—changes in appetite, behavior, or bathroom habits—we communicate right away and follow your preferred plan for care. We also treat your home with the same respect we give your pets, leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as we found it. For doggy day care in our home, we provide a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. We care for only one client’s pet(s) at a time, allowing for personalized attention and a relaxed setting. Our home features an open floor plan, easy-to-clean tile flooring, and a fully fenced 6-foot vinyl backyard for secure outdoor time. Pets are never introduced to unfamiliar animals during their stay, and all outdoor time is supervised to ensure safety at all times. Our home is a quiet, controlled environment with no resident pets or children, allowing us to focus fully on your pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. Safety is always our priority. Both of us are certified in Pet CPR and First Aid, and we stay attentive to each pet’s comfort, behavior, and well-being at all times.

“We were very pleased with Susie, the boys responded very well to her friendly demeanor. She was punctual, professional, and left the house in good condition! This was our first time leaving our babies behind and we were nervous but with all the pictures and communication we felt at ease. We would definitely request Susie again in the future.”

About: I have cared for my neighborhood pets for about 8 years now. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience with medications and overall care for pets I work part time at a restaurant at night 5-10 tuesday-sat. I have class monday and wednesday times differ. I am mainly available during the day but can care overnight. I introduce myself to the animal with gentleness to earn the trust then go from there. I give lots of love to dogs and cats

“I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Minda. I am one of those very overly protective dog moms that hardly goes anywhere because I want to be sure my dog is ok. Minda was very patient with me as I shared with her my 2-page typed handout (told you I am “that” dog mom), maps of the neighborhood, and all treats and food was bagged and labeled. She kept me updated throughout the day, which made my time away from my dog a little easier. I also have never had anyone in my house before. I was very comfortable with Minda there. I think she left my house cleaner than when I left it. I highly recommend Minda and her services.”

“Tina was kind and capable. My boys were calm and comfortable all day. She made them dinner and sent me great photos throughout the day. We enjoyed our family graduation celebration and we are very grateful for Tina’s TLC”

Patricia C.

“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”

Laurie H.

“I truly cannot recommend Walter enough, we had a sitter abandon our pets mid-stay while we were traveling abroad and Walter was able to step in and not only ensure our pets were cared for but truly loved! He took them on walks, played and hung out outside with them, and let the pets sleep in the bed with him. On top of all of that, he even cleaned all of the sheets and comfortable prior to my arrival back home. We will be using Walter again for our future travels.”

About: I stand out because I treat every dog like my own. I learn their quirks, stick to their exact routine, and keep you updated with photos so you’re never left wondering. With reliable communication and genuine love for animals, you come home to a calm, happy pup who had a great day. As a cat owner, I fit care into my day in small, easy chunks. My mornings are 10-15 minutes to feed, refresh water, and scoop the litter while my coffee brews. Evenings take about 15-20 minutes for dinner, a second scoop, and playtime — my cat is most active at dusk, so a quick wand-toy session helps her settle for the night. Weekly tasks like deep-cleaning the box or brushing take me 30 minutes total. Once I tied it to habits I already had, it became routine and keeps my cat calm and happy. I care for my pets by keeping their routine simple and consistent. Mornings are food, fresh water, and quick clean-up. Evenings are dinner, play or walks, and checking that everyone’s settled. I stick to their schedules, handle meds when needed, and stay on top of vet care so they stay healthy and happy.

About: I have worked in two different doggie daycares; I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I walked them, fed them, watched them when my parents were gone. I also fostered a dog for a year. Being around dogs and cats make me a happy person! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them lots of attention! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays! I do not have a fenced yard; I live in an apartment. But I do love to go for walks! So, I could take them out multiple times a day!

“We had an amazing experience with Christine as our dog sitter! She stayed at our house and was incredibly respectful of our space and belongings. Christine was attentive to every detail and followed our dogs’ schedules perfectly. When we came home, both of our pups were so happy and relaxed. We have a senior blind dog who takes medication and a younger dog who also requires meds, and it’s absolutely imperative that they receive them on time. Christine made sure their medication schedule was followed perfectly and never missed a dose. We highly recommend Christine — truly one of the best pet sitters around!”

“Cass went above and beyond what we expected and gave us complete peace of mind while we were out of town. Handled our large and sometimes not cooperative bloodhounds with ease and the dogs looked so happy. 100% recommend!!!”

Anna G.

“Cristina did a fantastic job caring for our pup, Freckles. She stayed in regular contact throughout Freckles’ stay, ensuring she was comfortable and well taken care of. When our return was unexpectedly delayed, Cristina was willing to extend her stay beyond the original booking, which greatly eased our worries during the unpredictable travel circumstances. Thanks to her kindness and flexibility, we were able to return as planned, and knowing Freckles was in good hands made everything much easier to handle. We highly recommend Cristina’s services and will definitely rebook with her for our future needs. Thank you! 😊”
