The Perfect Home Away from Home
Pet care experience
"Why does watching a dog be a dog fill me with such happiness?" J. Foer Why pay for boarding in a sterile kennel when your friend can stay in our home? We love dogs and know how important a caring and safe "Home Away from Home" is to you while you are away. We are 2 BIG dog lovers. My husband and I are retired so we are always available to attend to your dogs needs. We have had dogs all our married life and cherish our years with our 5 Golden Retrievers. We are down to one Golden, Brady, who is very socialized and loves to have other friends around the house. Our cat Mittens is very blase' around dogs so poses no threat! So please no dogs that will tend to try to chase her. Our yard is fenced and has plenty of room to play. We use no chemicals on our lawn, so it is safe for animals. Brady and I take a daily walk, usually in the morning in our quiet neighborhood by the bay and would love to have your boy or girl come along. We have a pool and welcome your pet to have a dip on hot days. I will always be present when they go outside in the lanai. I will email you daily with updates and photos if you request it. I know how we miss our Buddies when we are away. NOTE: I don't sit for any large dogs EXCEPT Golden Retrievers. They are most welcome! NOTE: Price for large dogs is 30.00 a night and 30.00 for any special medical needs dogs.

Great!!!!
Bobby is a wonderful lady and makes Maggie so welcome in her home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter
Bobbie is a lovely lady who took wonderful care of Maggie. Its means a lot to know your dog is being loved when your away. Thank You Bobby!
Absolutely wonderful! Bobbie sent several pictures and messages while I was away and I felt completely comfortable having my pup stay with her. It feels wonderful finally finding someone I can trust to watch my pup!

Information Bobbie D. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate those clients that are honest and tell me of any potential problems. I can't accept dogs with severe separation, anxiety, biting or urinating in the house problems. All dogs must be house broken. No pee pads will be used. We have plenty of toys to play with but encourage you to bring anything to help your baby feel comfortable in new surroundings. Please bring his/her bed if they have one, a cage if that's where they sleep. I will need to know when they usually go to bed, wake up, times they eat and what quantity, and any idiosyncrasies they might have. Please, only dogs that are up to date with their shots (I'll need a record from Vet) and flea meds.
A typical day
We live in a small walkable community by the Bay. Our fenced in yard provides a safe place for your baby to do his/her business and play. It's big enough to play in but we will also go for walks in the morning. I am an owner that believes I am the leader of the pack... Brady knows I'm the alpha dog. I show plenty of affection but also believe that obedience is very important in our pets. We strive to provide a happy and safe place for your dog. I will not accept any dogs with signs of fleas, mites or any contagious health problems. Your dog must be socialized, friendly with no aggression issues. Please schedule a Meet and Greet to see if our dogs get along, to have the best stay possible. I will give you a list of what to provide me with at our Meet and Greet, before and for your dog's stay.
