💙🐾 Loving dog mom & animal lover!

I have been caring for pets and wild life of all kinds (hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish, lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles) for as long as I can remember, dating back to my early childhood days. I had a dog and cats growing up. Buster Brown was my childhood dog, he lived to be 18 years old. He was a good boy. Once he passed, of old age, I rescued Shatei. Shatei was my first baby as an adult. She was a Chow/Shephard mix, beautiful girl, looked like a lion. She was my sidekick for 15 years, before she passed of Cancer 😢 I then rescued two labs, Henry and Gracie. Oh my goodness, talk about personalities. Both of them were such sweethearts. Sadly, they both passed from Cancer at the age of 10. Which leads us to current day… I have a senior fur baby, she is 15 years old, pretty much blind and fairly deaf. She is a pee pad baby and the Queen of the house, so I am used to regular clean ups and special care for our older babies. I treat all babies as my own. My home is known as “the dog house”. When friends need a safe place for their babies, they bring them to me. My “Wolfpack” is used to their mom bringing home strays 🤣 after all, that’s how they all got here! My girls are 11, 12 and 15. Macy is the 11 year old and the dominant (mouthy) leader personality. She likes to spend her time barking at the UPS driver, Me, Postal Workers, humans walking their dogs, Me, birds, boats, Me, wind, hopefully You…she’s not picky, equal opportunity with that girl! Sydney is my 12 year old gentle sunbathing beauty, she likes to spend all of her time sunbathing on the front or back balcony, it depends on where the prime sunning spots are. She typically checks in with me on her commute from one balcony to the other, make sure I’m still doing my motherly duties, petting her belly, maybe slide a quick treat or two in. She’s easy going…🌞 🐾 Callie is my 15 year old senior, she enjoys no walks, eating as often as I will allow, barking at me to feed her, eating some more, sleeping and pooping wherever she pleases, because she knows mom will come right along and clean it up. And finally, saved the best or last, I lost my lil man Winston, at the age of 20 years old, 2 years ago. He was a champ, lil 10 lb Chiweenie, that lived his best Beach Life and now watches over us 🏖️ 😇 🐾 To sum it up, I love all animals! I am really drawn to dogs and they are typically drawn to me. I strive to keep a peaceful environment and vibe in my home and it reflects in how relaxed my dogs are 90% of the time. When I hit the couch, to relax, they flock to me. No matter if I have 3 or 6 dogs in my house, they all pile into the cuddle puddle, my favorite place to be! Who needs Heaven when you live like this!? This is MY HEAVEN! 🤗 I am ready to give your fur baby all the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your special fur baby! Sincerely, your dog’s future Aunt B ☀️

Any dog that gets to be loved by Belinda is truly blessed. From the way she gets their daily exercise in on strolls, to cooking them healthy meals that even make me hungry, to showing them all the loves, she is the best! I swear when she walks in the room, she is Migo’s (my dog) favorite person. I am so grateful for the way she loves and cares for my fur baby!

Natural affinity! Belinda is one of the best dog walker and pet sitter I have met in the Destin area, period! She exudes calmness and animals respond to that energy, recognizing that she is the one in charge.

I’ve known Belinda for 24 years and she’s the best pet owner I know. She has the biggest heart and loves animals, especially dogs, more than most humans

She was absolutely fantastic with my pets! It was clear right away how much she truly loves and understands animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!

Schedule

I am a retired stay at home dog mom! I recently retired from a career of 30 years, so I could focus on Living my best life and providing the best life for my fur babies! I am home pretty much 24/7, so plenty of time to play with your fur baby, take walks and lots of snuggles! Our day typically starts with doggy breakfast served first thing, followed by a nice long walk to make sure we take care of all of our business and smell all of the other business that was taken care of before we got there! After all, dogs can smell the mood someone is in, based on the scent they left behind 🤯 so I fully support letting them explore and use all of their amazing senses! Then it’s back home for a Good Girl or Good Boy treat, which I also carry on walks to encourage good behavior, then nap time! Napping options, based on weather, are the front balcony, back balcony, couch, or any dog or human bed in the house. The front balcony allows for monitoring delivery services, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, Uber Eats, you name it, we monitor for it, in addition to monitoring the walking path to ensure all dogs know who’s territory this is and let’s not forget the prime sunbathing! The back balcony allows additional prime sunbathing options, as well as monitoring for delivery services ACROSS the canal, yes, all services covered on that side too, in addition to boats, pelicans, herons, seagulls, loons (we really love the loons when they swim, it’s a special kind of freak out for Macy, oh and Dolphins 🐬 Macy REALLY loves the Dolphins and will let the ENTIRE Harbor know when one visits). 😃 We gets lots of attention from the boaters passing by too. Then it’s time for doggy dinner to be served, followed by another trip outside to take care of business and make sure the hood is secure! Then we typically hit the couch for some R&R and our famous Cuddle Puddle, with lots of pillows and blankets, because we like things cozy around here! Finally, a final potty break before bedtime.
