Pet care experience

I am a life-long animal lover and dogs have always been a passion. I am a volunteer with a Virginia based rescue and before moving to Florida fostered for 14 years. I have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities and a deep knowledge of caring for geriatric, special needs and hospice dogs. My skills include administering medication, including subcutaneous injections. Caring for your pet is both a responsibility and a privilege. I am a member of IBPSA and have Pet Care Provider and Pet Care Specialist certifications and am licensed in Pinellas County.

Great doggy care today! Wonderful environment and safe zone for pups. Definitely would let my fur baby come back to play! Thank you for watching my surprising talented circus dog.

I was a bit nervous leaving our older dog with some health issues with a new sitter. So thankful I did! Dawn did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She got along well with the other dogs and made herself right at home. They run an extremely professional boarding service.

I found out about 4 Paws Playhouse from my neighbor and I am so glad I did. My dog Zoey is very attached to me and I usually have to walk her into any place I plan to leave her because she’s afraid I’m going to leave without her. Well, she must have a boyfriend there ;) because when she sees Dawn or Sherry coming out to the car to get her, she starts crying and trying to get out of the car. Warms my heart that she feels safe there. Plus she has the run of the house and back yard.

I would like to highly recommend 4 Paws Playhouse to anyone who needs boarding or day care for their small dog. As a snowbird in Florida, I needed to find a place to leave my 6 year old Havanese, Biscuit, while I was in Europe for two weeks. I was looking for a place that was clean, where Biscuit could sleep in the caregiver's bed, roam freely, and be fed a special diet of various ingredients while receiving lots of attention and affection. All of my needs for Biscuit were met at 4 Paws Playhouse. Biscuit fell in love with his temporary home, and if given the choice, I am not sure he would have chosen to come home with me. I cannot rate the care he received highly enough...definitely 5 star!

Information Dawn M. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know what the dog enjoys doing, how he/she interacts with other dogs on walks and in the home. Special feeding instructions and if any medications need to be given. We have a pet information form we ask pet parents to complete that captures what their dog likes, favorite toys, what they can/cannot play with, treats allowed [if any], sleeping preference, etc.

A typical day

Depending on what a dog enjoys, we will take walks through the neighborhood, play fetch, chase, work on basic commands, have fun with agility or bask in the sun and snooze in a lap or a bed [dog or human, depending on what the pet parent requests].
