Pet care experience

4 PAWS INN & SPA

Plenty of room and lots of Love ! Our mission is to provide a safe and comfortable retreat for your pets so you can enjoy a relaxed trip without the stress of worrying about them. We will keep your pets entertained and send you photo updates to show you how well they have adapted to their new surroundings. Larry and I have both owned and cared for dogs all of our lives. Misty Bluz is our current pampered pet. She is a 30 pound , 8 year old ShihPoo, who loves people and dogs. We are conveniently located right off of I-4 just north of all the theme parks. Treat your pets to the ride and drop them off with us where they will enjoy your trip as much as you do. Our one story home is heated, air conditioned and pet proof, with a large fenced in backyard. There is plenty of shade and lots to explore. We are both retired so at least one of us will usually be home to supervise and entertain your pet. We will take them for walks around our quiet neighborhood and for car rides to pet friendly places. We will supervise them while they explore our fenced backyard and try to mimic their schedule as closely as possible. They will be glad to see you when you return and very happy when you bring them back for another stay. We understand extenuating or emergency circumstances occur. We are very flexible so please feel free to contact us to discuss your needs. Our primary concern is for the well being of your pets. Larry is now CERTIFIED in PET CPR and CERTIFIED GROOMER . We offer a Spa Bath which includes shampoo and conditioner, blow dry, nails trimmed, ears cleaned and teeth brushing. Add a de-shedding service, Mini Groom or full service groom. Now you can cross the groomer off your to do list before leaving town. Drop your dog off dirty and pick him up clean and coiffed. About this sitter: We recently retired and moved to DeBary FL. from Miami. We had experienced difficulty finding a suitable pet sitter until discovering Rover.com. Our Rover sitter was such a great experience we decided to offer the service for others to enjoy. We understand each dog has a unique personality. We take the time to get to know your pets so we can provide the care they want. Whether it is activity, cuddling or just basking in the sun on the deck we will provide the stimulus your pet prefers. Getting to know your pet is part of the fun in providing this service. Why I love dog sitting My husband and I have been dog owners and animal lovers our entire lives. We enjoyed the services that Rover.com offered so much that we decided to join their team. We were looking for a little extra income to supplement our retirement, but have received so much more. Our guests have entertained us, filled our home with laughter and our hearts with paw prints. About my yard We have a large, fully fenced, grassy backyard with many shady areas. My experience administering medication Yes we can administer medications.

First time leaving my 8 lb and 5 lb Biewer Terriers with anyone. I was worried about other larger dogs and would the girls be accepting of them. Larry assured me they would be kept separate and let outside at different times. He was exactly right. Pictures sent daily and the girls seemed happy, fed and even hung out with Medium size friends. The back lawn is beautiful and secure. The girls were happy to see me and slept for almost two days after getting home. I learned that, I can leave them and they will survive and thrive without me. :) I highly recommend Candace & Larry. I will use them again.

Thank you for this opportunity to express how my dog was cared for while I was on vacation. She didn’t adjust well at first and was having a difficult time with her separation anxiety. They worked with her they were patient, loving and caring. This is the second time that I have boarded here and the only place we will go. Definitely, definitely recommend daycare or boarding here.
