Pet care experience

A fun, social, safe environment for dogs of all ages Do you want to see how much fun we have at the Farm? Check out our Facebook and Instagram @BigMaxAndFriends We are very experienced with dogs since being full time pet sitters and have developed some skills in dog training. In our kind of lifestyle your dog will always have attention, love, exercise and care it needs. We take care of dogs as if there were our own: We pet them, play with them, talk to them and they sleep in bed with us if they feel like it. They become part of our life. We do not kennel dogs unless recommended by the owner for training purposes. They are free to roam in the house and allowed on the furniture and beds. Ninel volunteers at several dog and cat rescues (Saving Sage, The Kitty campus, Miami Dade Animal Shelter). She has a lot of experience in socialization. Whether you’ve got a Pug, a Lab, or a Shepard, we believe all dogs are Farm dogs at heart, and a trip to the Farm is giving your dog the best day of their life. Wondering what sets us apart from other sitters or kennels? Well, just take a look at all the perks of boarding with us! * We are home full-time– which allows us to provide constant care for your pet and your pet will not be alone for long periods of time. * Our home is over 5000 sq with lots of space for your dog – as clients have quoted before - a pet resort! * A real 26 acres farm with a covered 15000 sq feet barn * 6 acres of fully fenced in, digging proof dog park with lots of shade. * Almost an acre fenced pond for hot summer time. * 6 acres of private preserve for the best “sniffari” experience * Activities and games like treibball, lure coursing, agility, tug, flirt pole, frisbee, fetch * Potty breaks at least every 2 hours (starting as early as 5AMand as late as 10PM) * Lots of toys and tennis balls (including Barkbox super chewer toys) * Dogs are allowed on the furniture, and have the full run of the house! * No need for crates required, but can provide one if needed * Treats and lots of treats! We dehydrate our own organic doggie pure protein treats! * Every dog in our care has at least one enrichment session a day (puzzles, hay hunting, licking mats, frozen kongs and much more) * We are privately insured in addition to Rover guarantee, pet CPR and First aid certified * Can transportation service - pick up/drop upon request * Playmate for your dog! Our sweet Labrador retriever Max loves playing with other dogs! If your fur baby likes to play and socialize with other dogs, they will love playing with Max * Daily updates with pictures and videos of your pet * We reply within minutes to booking requests and clients’ inquiries You now have a better understanding of what your fur baby will get getting and the perks of boarding your fur baby with us! You will never have to worry about your pet being alone! We are always home!! Overall, in our home, your fur babies will always be treated like royalty and get lots of love and attention!!! You will not have to worry about their happiness or safety! If your dog is more of a couch potato we’ve got lots of couches :) BOARDING To ensure the best attention and care, we only take in a few dogs at a time as they’ll be living with us in our own home. We only take dogs who’ve passed our assessment. A day of day care or an overnight might be required for longer stays or for puppies. Dogs need to be well socialised and have no behavioral issues. This is to ensure a pleasant and safe environment for all our dog daycare and boarding guests. DAY CARE at The Farm FOR DROP-INS and DOG WALKS (limited availability) Please allow 2 hours window for drop-in visits and walks (if you requested noon, I’ll be there sometime between 11am and 12pm). Meet and greet is required for all bookings. It is a complimentary one-time 20 min visit (at our house for boarding and at your house for any other service) to make sure we are a good fit, so I can learn your pet's routine and your pet can get to know me. for any additional meet and greets please schedule drop-in visits.

Woof woof! Hi there, it's me, Maverick, your furry friend with a tail-wagging tale to tell! I recently had the most pawsome time at Chris and Ninel's boarding paradise, and I couldn't wait to share my woofs of joy! From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a doggone good time. Chris and Ninel welcomed me with open arms (and plenty of belly rubs), making me feel right at home. But oh, the real adventure awaited me by the pond! Let me tell you, it was a dog's dream come true. Splashing around, chasing balls, and making new fur-iends—it was pure pupper paradise! And oh, Ninel! She's not just any human; she's the ultimate ball-fetching champion! We had a blast playing together, and the other dogs joined in on the fun too. It was like our own little canine Olympics, filled with laughter and tail wags galore. But here's the best part: Chris and Ninel made sure my paw-rents were never far from my mind. Every day, they snapped multiple photos and videos of me living my best doggy life. It was their way of saying, "Hey Mom and Dad, your fur baby is safe, happy, and having a blast!" Talk about going above and beyond! So, to Chris and Ninel, thank you from the bottom of my furry heart for the woof-tastic memories. You truly made my boarding experience one for the doggy history books. I can't wait to come back for another round of pond adventures and endless tail wags. Bark bark, until next time!

I am so impressed with Ninel’s skills with my 1 YO GSP! Ninel and Max are dog whisperers that know how to read personalities. My pup is shy and Ninel was gentle to introduce her to others slowly. My girl had a great day! She met new friends, came home happy and even tired, and above all Ninel was able to keep me updated periodically to ease my own concerns.

Ninel is the absolute best!!! We are in FL for a few months, and hopefully moving back soon. We found her last minute and got in a meet and greet before a last minute weekend trip we had. Our Huckleberry was running, sniffing, and swimming every day. We didn’t worry a bit — from the moment we met Ninel we knew he was in amazing hands. And as a dog sitter myself, it’s hard for me to trust many people with my prized possession. We hope to move back down and bring Huck back to the farm to see Ninel & Big Max regularly!!!

Information Christopher & Ninel C. would like to know about your pet

Upon request we will send you a questionnaire about your pup and their needs so we are fully prepared for need and greet and their stay with us. ALL DOGS MUST BE UP TO DATE ON ALL VACCINES INCLUDING BORDETELLA Clients, it is so important to be on time to your drop off and pickup appointment. I schedule my days accordingly, so it makes it very difficult to move my schedule around due to tardiness. If you are 15 minutes or later to your scheduled time, you will be charged a late fee of $20, or we will have to reschedule for later in a day. Thank you for understanding! By booking with us you confirm that you read the policies and agree with them.

A typical day

All day we play treibball, lure coursing, agility, tug, flirt pole, frisbee, fetch you name it. When it’s too hot we play in the Barn or stay inside depending on dogs needs. We have a set up for barn hunting. Max loves to play soccer and keep away. We love to go to preserve located in our property during the da, lots of smells and it’s a great way to mentally stimulate pups. Older and low energy dogs mostly stay inside with Christopher and are being his office bodies during the day and join activities outside as they wish.
