WFH Dog Lover | Small Dogs Welcome!
Hi! I’m Al, and my wife Stephanie and I have been dog owners for most of our lives. We’ve cared for dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Dalmatians, and today we have our Frenchie, Daisy, who loves having four-legged friends come to stay. I own my own business and work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give our guests plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and walks. Dogs staying with us become part of the family while they’re here — hanging out with us, playing with Daisy and getting lots of attention from our family. We especially enjoy caring for small and medium-sized dogs and have experience with puppies through senior dogs. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home while their family is away. We’re also conveniently located about 15 minutes from Orlando International Airport and just minutes from the 408 and 417, making drop-off and pickup convenient when you’re heading out of town. Included with your dog’s stay: • Regular potty breaks and walks • Playtime and lots of attention • Pee pads when needed • Waste bags • Dog shampoo and cleaning supplies • Baths when needed during their stay What to bring: • Your dog’s food with feeding instructions • Collar/harness and leash • Crate, if your dog uses one • Bed or favorite blanket, if desired • Any medications with clear instructions • A favorite toy or something familiar from home I’m happy to answer questions before booking and want to make sure we’re a good fit for your dog. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your trip knowing your pup is safe, comfortable and getting plenty of attention.

Ratings and reviews
They were so sweet and took great care of our babies. We had a last minute request and they helped us make it happen. They sent pics and were very responsive. Thank you again 😊
We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! They took amazing care of our Chiweenie, Max, for over two weeks and treated him like family. We loved receiving updates and knowing he was getting plenty of attention, cuddles, and love while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind, and when we picked him up, Max was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Max! 🐾💕
Al was great took excellent care of ocean and was in communication with me all the time.
Toby had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend! She kept us updated throughout his stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and made Toby feel right at home. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I can honestly say Toby enjoyed his stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience with him taking care of my dog. He was responsible, caring, and kept me updated. My dog was happy and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciate the attention and kindness he showed. I would definitely recommend him and use his services again.
Noodle had a fantastic time with Al and his family! They made sure he had all the love and care while we were out of town for a few days, and we will definitely be using them again!

Schedule
I own my own business and work from home, so I’m available throughout most of the day. This gives me plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medication and, of course, playtime and attention.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs stay with us in our family home rather than being left alone for long stretches of the day. I do my best to follow their normal routine so their stay feels as comfortable and familiar as possible.
Pets
A typical day
Your dog will be treated like part of our family while they’re here. Since I work from home, they’ll have company throughout most of the day along with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime and plenty of opportunities to relax. I understand that every dog is different. Some want to play all day, while others would rather find a comfortable spot and nap nearby. I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they get the type of attention they’re comfortable with. I’ll also keep you updated during their stay so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your pup is doing.

- Before booking, I’d love to know a little about your pup! Please tell me about their personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, potty habits, sleeping/crate routine and how they interact with other dogs and children. Since we have our own dog and children in the home, dogs staying with us need to be friendly and comfortable in a family environment. Please also let me know about any anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, escape tendencies, destructive behavior or other behaviors I should be aware of. I primarily care for small and medium-sized dogs and want to make sure every pup I accept is a good fit for our home.
