Grandma at home all day !
Pet care experience
We are located within 10 minutes of Walt Disney World resort in a first floor pet friendly gated condo . There are multiple landscaped dog run areas , the A/C is kept at 74 degrees all summer long ! I am home all day and my husband is a retired police officer with years of canine experience . With 4 children plus extras we had multiple rescued dogs always in our home -Rottweillor ,German Shepherd, Poodle , Boston Terrier , Schnauzer , Chihuahua ( yes , every size !) -and those whose ancestry would always be a mystery ! Every one was a rescue or in need -and we could not give a count of those who fostered on their way to a great home .Our children are grown and our last senior dog passed away 7 years ago . A vacation visit is ideal for us -and we would love to make it ideal for your "best friend "! I prefer to keep guests from only one family at a time so that your pet has constant quality care. I am at home 24/7 during any booking and would be pleased to answer any questions.Thanks for considering our home ! ( custom rate adjustments for repeat friends , multiple dogs , shorter theme park days , etc!). About this sitter: We are an empty nest couple with 5 grandchildren locally . My husband is a retired police officer with canine experience . I have spent many years in the rescue area -all our pets ( with 4 children plus fosters and extras there were MANY ) were rescued . We miss having dogs in our life and have found having guests is a great deal of fun ! I prefer to only book one family at a time and stay at home 24-7 during visits . We have many 5 star reviews and lifelong friends -please feel free to read on DogVacay and Rover. Why I love dog sitting All my life ! While raising 4 children in the military life I formed friendships with local shelter employees who would give me some of their many abandoned dogs . I would groom and foster -then found homes for all .Our own dogs have all been shelter dogs or without other options ; breeds including Rottweillor , Poodle , Boston Terrier , Maltese , German Shepherd -many sizes , many combinations ! We have no pets of our own -we love the experience of our " part-time puppies ". We do have grandchildren ( ages 14-18) visiting -they have been carefully educated to be sensitive and respectful of guests ( we are actually training two grandsons in professional dog handling ). About my yard We have multiple dog walks -manicured with many trees and waste bag / containers available My experience administering medication Many of our regular guests are seniors and / or special needs , requiring medications with daily adjustments. One of us is ALWAYS home so your pet will have full attention! And care . We follow your pets routine -meals , sleep , play and walks . All pups are loved and cuddled -we treat them as visiting grandchildren 😂 Walks are every 2 hours , bed sleepers welcome .-no cats or resident small children .
Reviews
they did a fantastic job at watching over my Bumi. I received lots of updates and could tell that Bumi felt very loved and comfortable during his time there! I’m sure Bumi would be happy to return in the future (:
Vader loved his day. They took very good care of him and didn't complain that we ended up picking him up a little later than discussed.
Ed N. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
They were great! Great communication and sent lots of pics of our dog during her stay. They live super close to the Disney parks so super convenient when planning a trip. Thanks again!

We are simply paranoid about the front door -pups are on a lead before opening . We do not allow contact with neighbor pups to avoid issues .

All breeds are fascinating ! Unfortunately our HOA forbids Rottweilers and any visible mix of American bulldog ( "pit bull "). Yes , unfair!!! Each dog has individual quirks , habits , fears and routine . I like them to be comfortable and feel safe .
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks The complex is large with beautiful sidewalks and dog areas Your dog's sleeping arrangement By my bed , in kennel , wherever they are comfortable and accustomed to in their routine . Time I'll spend with your dog I am home 24/7-I prefer dogs from only one family to keep their stress low . I offer full attention !
