❤Caring Family Fun - Just Like Home

Pet care experience

⭐️ABOUT US⭐️ ———————————————————— We are Cindy and Steve, and would love to care for your dog when he or she needs that special care while you are away. Cindy is a stay at home mom, and Steve works from home, so your pet will get 100% attention, free to roam and be a part of the family. Please see our pictures to see what we mean! We have a 1/3 acre lot with a nice fully-fenced yard to run around. This means plenty of potty breaks and free time to stretch those legs. We love playing both inside and outside, we place many water stations to stay hydrated. We know a pet is family, and give the attention and care they deserve. In our reviews you will see mention their dog came back home smiling and happy. We are so glad to heart that :) if you take a look at some of our pictures you can see how much the dogs we have cared for enjoyed their stay. We can't wait to meet you! ⭐️ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⭐️ ———————————————————— We do strive to make this a home away from home! If you do have any special instructions, please just let us know. We are used to routinely providing oral medication, and special food provided by the owner. Also, please do tell us about your pet's likes and dislikes, schedule, and anything else you'd like us to know, so we can be sure to make this stay the best! ———————————————————— ✅ MEET & GREETS: * We are happy to accommodate meet and greets. It is an opportunity for you to gain confidence that we will be a great fit for you. It also allows some introductory familiarity with us and our house before the big stay! ———————————————————— ✅ FLEXIBILITY: * We are very flexible with your schedule. If your pickup and/or dropoff time change, no problem, just let us know as soon as reasonably possible so we can schedule accordingly. * Need an extra day, or pick up a day early? We understand plans change! We can modify the booking and get the schedule updated to meet your needs. * Need to cancel? No worries, we accept cancellations right up to the day of dropoff. ———————————————————— ✅ CLEANLINESS: * We are right there during bathroom breaks, to pick up right away. * We keep our house clean and tidy, vacuuming daily and mopping multiple times per week also. (Disclaimer - we have kids, it's a constant battle of toys going everywhere!).

This was Winter's 3rd visit with this lovely family and she loves having a Pupcation with Maple and the other dogs they are boarding!

We did a meet & greet and the dogs got along well with Maple. Steve was asking questions about our dogs and interested in how we care for them. He answered our questions and was kind to our dogs. During the stay we received pictures and texting updates . Our dogs looked happy in the photos. I felt comfortable and at ease that they were being cared by Cindy and Steve. We picked them up and they were happy to see us. I am very thankful that we found some wonderful people to care for our dogs. Thank you Cindy and Steve for caring for Hesla and Tigger.

⭐️IMPORTANT INFORMATION⭐️ ———————————————————— ✅ DISCLAIMER: * We do respectfully request the following, and in your booking request please mention your dog does meet these items. This is primarily to ensure we can provide the best experience for your loved one. 1. Vaccinations - Florida state law does require valid rabies vaccination and so do we, and we request Bordetella and a Distemper combo shot such as DHPP just to be 100% safe (and these are the vaccines strongly recommended by the AKC). This is to keep everyone safe and healthy. 2. Non-aggressive - Gets along with other dogs and kids. Timid, prefers to be alone, etc is OK. However we simply just cannot accommodate aggressive behavior. 3. House trained - We provide MANY bathroom breaks, but we do ask for dogs to know to go outside. 4. No Separation Anxiety - Although we are home most of the time, we do sometimes need to leave to go grocery shopping etc like normal people. It is very difficult to accommodate separation anxiety that results in distressed barking and destructive behavior. 5. Lastly, we encourage bringing dog beds, blankets, etc so they recognize their smells and can feel more at home!
