Big or small, we love 'em all!

Pet care experience

Having recently relocated to sunny Florida, my husband and I are eager to spoil your precious pup! With 30 years of experience caring for puppies, adults, and senior dogs, we understand the unique needs of each furry friend. When we said goodbye to our sweet girl Brandy, who battled bone cancer, it left an empty space in our home and hearts. Caring for your fur babies would not only bring joy into our lives but also offer you the peace of mind that your pet is cherished as if they were our own. Safety is paramount for us; I hold certification in Pet CPR and First Aid. With extensive experience in caring for elder pups, I am well-versed in providing all forms of medication to ensure their well-being. Thank you for considering us to look after your cherished family member.

Thank you, Dodie, for being the absolute best dog sitter! Bella was clearly so happy and well-cared for while we were away!

Safety, trust & environment

I offer pet care services in your home, including overnight stays or drop-in visits, depending on your preference. In addition to pet care, I am more than capable of tending to other household tasks such as maintaining the house and even caring for the pool, ensuring that your entire home is looked after.

Information Dodie S. would like to know about your pet

What I need to know: All breeds are welcome, but aggressive behavior will not be accepted. The fitness level of your pup will help determine where and how long we walk or run. Any special routine that makes your pet unique is important. We are dedicated to doing whatever it takes to ensure your pet is safe during their visits. If an emergency does arise, we are prepared to follow your instructions on how you want to handle an emergency situation. We will not hesitate to call you if we think something may be wrong.

A typical day

I include a range of enjoyable activities for your pets, including walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles to keep them happy and engaged. Your pet will never be exposed to busy street traffic. We can play or nap all day!
