Dogs make the world go round!
We have been living in Mexico for the past few years so that's why you don't see any recent reviews. We are returning to our Key West home in May 2026. Our 2026 Key West availability is mid-May through October. We have a fenced yard and I work at home so around most of the time. Our 3 labs have all passed over the rainbow bridge so this is how we get our doggie love these days. I volunteer with the Key West animal shelter and have also volunteered while in Mexico (those are dogs with a rough life). Both Gary and I are experienced dog owners, and our midtown Key West location is convenient. We are friendly but firm with the dogs and welcome your well-behaved, adorable pooch. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up hours within reason. We are also super cautious with security and do not leave dogs outside in the yard while we are gone. Get in touch, we would love to hear from you. We have a fenced yard so there's some outside play space. I do not leave dogs unattended outside just to be on the safe side.

Ratings and reviews
Gary is awesome. When I picked my pup up, I could see that he was quite content with his stay. We are traveling, but I would love to have a resource like Gary and Donna to love on my pup down the road. Perfect!!!
Our dog Bailey had a great stay with Gary! We got pictures and regular updates on how she was doing. Donna and Gary had great and quick communication with us. We would definitely book another boarding stay!
Wonderful couple! Zola was right at home. Will book again.
Donna and Gary will definitely be getting a rebook from me and my furbaby! My dog is usually very whiney and anxious when I leave him but he was GREAT with them which meant a lot. They updated me with pictures the entire time and even helped with his allergies. I picked him up and he was a very happy him!!! I am very grateful to have found them and would recommend to anyone in area looking for a loving dog sitter ! Thank you guys SO much!!
Donna was caring and attentive to Rosie’s needs during her stay, and sent me daily updates that made me feel at ease. I will definitely be looking to have a Rosie stay with Donna again next time I require boarding!
Fabulous. Great with our pups. Even took our very energetic puppy for 3 walks. Really lovely people highly recommend!!

Schedule
We are both retired, so we have flexible schedules for playtime, walks, etc. Morning and evening exercise with the dog will be standard, unless you tell us otherwise.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our yard is fenced and we are diligent about never leaving dogs in the yard if we are gone from the house. If we're not there, they are in the house.
A typical day
Based on what your dog is accustomed to, we can keep the schedule, ie. swimming at dog beach, Higgs Beach dog park. If not, we will take them out for walks on leash. There are too many unknowns to take a dog off leash.
