Feels Like Home
Pet care experience
Offering family-style boarding, you'll be proud that your dog can say, "This feels like home." Lifelong dog owners, our resident pup is a female Golden Retriever. With two children off to college and our youngest in middle school full time, this mom and wife of 24 years will give your dog(s) LOTS of love and attention in our large, carpeted, smoke-free home with fenced yard in Northwest Bradenton. Prior to boarding, a Meet-N-Greet is required as it's a great opportunity to get acquainted and it equips us to provide your pet with the accommodations to best suit their needs. Your pet's vaccination record will be kept on file during his or her stay and it is required that our guests be treated with vet-approved flea and tick medication. If there are specific instructions for us to follow, such as with feeding, walking, behavior or medication, please bring it up during our visit. Your dog will receive one-on-one attention and exercise as our guests have supervised free run in our home as well as in our fenced backyard. We don't provide crates or cages, so if your dog uses one, please bring it with you so that he/she has his/her own place to sleep or rest, undisturbed. We host up to two guests at the same time, so your dog will have a playmate but also plenty of space to be alone. We are flexible. Please let us know when it's convenient for you to drop off and pick up, when your dog usually eats or goes for walks. We are here to care for your pet just as you do. **I do work part-time 25/hrs week outside the home, Please note on weekdays only I will take in dogs that are use to being home alone while their owners work. If you see me marked unavailable but have questions about weekdays, please feel free to send me a message from my home page. **DAYCARE HAS LIMITED AVAILABILITY DURING WEEKENDS AND SUMMER: Hours 8 am-6 pm. Feel free to inquire.
Reviews
Cathy is an excellent pet sitter. Thank God we found her! Cathy is so compassionate & treated our dog like he was her own. So blessed to have found her! Our dog was quite the happy camper! We highly recommend her!??
Cathy was wonderful! She greeted our dog and me with open arms. She is very personable and compassionate. She took excellent care of our dog; we were so impressed! We will definitely contact her again to watch Tylan.
We left Casper our golden doodle in Cathy's care for 4 nights. Cathy was great in welcoming Casper to her home, and I know Casper was entertained also by their dog Daisy! Cathy kept in touch with us by letting us know Casper was doing well and sent us various pictures daily which we enjoyed to view. I definitely recommend Cathy for your pets boarding at their home and will use her services again on new bookings!! ☺
Cathy and her family hosted our dogs, Jack, a 35lb puppy, at the time, and GoGo, a 9lb Pomeranian. Our little guy tries to rule the roost while his big younger brother (74lbs now) can be intimidating because he's so heavy-footed and goofy. Cathy, her husband, their teenage son and Jack's gal pal, Daisy, their super-sweet Golden Retriever, provided a fun & safe vacay for them so that we could enjoy a breath of fresh air.

Information Cathy Z. would like to know about your pet
At the Meet N Greet we will go over your dogs temperament and see how he/she is with my family and dog. I would like to know if your dog jumps on people and pulls hard when walking on a leash. If he/she has potty accidents as we have carpet in our entire house. I will need feeding schedule, proof of vaccinations and emergency contact/vet information. Dogs with food aggression, toy aggression or don't get along well with children will be referred to another host.
