I have over 20 years experience caring for my own dogs and pet sitting for others. I have interned at a small animal emergency vet clinic and with a large animal mobile vet for several years, so I have a lot of experience with emergency and non-emergency events for dogs/cats/horses/other animals. I am comfortable handling all sizes of dogs (and cats), administering oral and IM medication, and tending to elderly dogs. I love to play with and train dogs! We have a very homey 3/2 in South Miami with a nice private, fenced yard that is double fenced on one side and poured concrete under the gates (for diggers!). I have experience with a multitude of breeds (miniature pinschers, dachshunds, labradors, boxers, rottweilers, spaniels, german shepards, belgian malinois, huskys, french bulldogs, heinz 57s, the list could go on and on). I do take multiple bookings at a time, but rest assured that if you do not want your dog to socialize with others, my home is partitioned enough to accommodate that. That being said, I try to maintain as open and social an environment as the dogs will allow. My partner, Wade, and I share responsibilities for our guest dogs, so your pooches will get all the attention they desire! The pups are never left home alone for more than a few hours at a time if necessary. I have declared that I would never go a day of my life without a dog in it, so why not make it a living!? My repeat clients say their 4-legged family members come home like they've been on vacation too! I also have a DEDICATED room for cats so that my kitty clients can stay at peace away from the pups. The "cat room" (as we like to call it) has a tall tower for them to climb and scratch on (hammocks included!), a desanitized litter box after every kitty's vacation, and plenty of toys and treats to go around. We LOVE our kitty guests too! Please check out the pictures of my home away from home for your pals :) I do dog boarding full-time, so my day revolves around your pooch! I am home 99% of the time, with the exception of the odd errand or lunch run. Your pet is cared for in my home as one of my own. They get to be with the other dogs (if everyone gets along) for a majority of the day. We go outside in the backyard very frequently. Everyone gets separated (for safety reasons) if I need to run an errand, when we're sleeping, or to eat. We have tons of fun playing inside and outside, in the water mister, by the fan, on the agility obstacles.
