*PLEASE READ ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE BOOKING. Things to know before reading further: 1. I am not a certified trainer. 2. I have three small children. 3. I have a small, senior dog. 4. Because of this I DO NOT sit aggressive dogs. I have 8+ years of fostering dogs from local rescues in Florida. The rescue I am currently with specializes in senior dogs or dogs with medical challenges. I have fostered blind, deaf and limited mobility dogs. I am familiar with skin conditions, epilepsy, and abused or neglected dogs. I also have fostered puppies and worked with potty training and basic manners. If needed, I can administer medications. While most of my attention has been on dogs, I grew up with cats and am familiar with their unique issues and temperaments. I do ask you bring everything your cat needs, as I do not have extras like I do for the dogs. I also had birds, rabbits, sugar gliders and hamsters growing up, and can clean out their cages properly. There is really no (legal) animal I won’t board. To get started I am offering a free bath for boarding and daycare, so don’t miss this temporary perk. I am a mother of three and have been a flight attendant for 13 years. Currently I am taking a sabbatical from flying and my children are in school. When I do continue flying I will be gone an average of two nights a week. This gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I have a fenced yard, a pool fence and a 24/7 video alarm system. I have an extra large crate and dog bed if your dog should need it, or they can sleep on the bed or in our bedroom. We have step-stairs to help small or senior dogs get on/off bed. Our yard is treated for pests quarterly and inside is treated bi-yearly or as needed. Before letting the dogs out I do a “snake check” and scan for hawks to keep the little ones safe. I also do a daily walk around to make sure there are no holes in the yard or pool fence. Your dog will always have access to fresh water. For extended stays I am willing to negotiate pricing based on individual situations. If you have questions about my rates please let me know. VERY IMPORTANT!!!! While I have extensive experience with dogs, I am NOT A CERTIFIED DOG TRAINER. I DO NOT ACCEPT AGGRESSIVE DOGS. If you have any doubt of your dog’s temperament please do not book with me. I have small children and other dogs I must keep safe above all else. I REQUIRE an emergency number of someone who will take your dog if he exhibits aggression to PEOPLE or ANIMALS. On a personal note, I am humbled and honored you have considered me to care for your fur baby. I take the safety of your dog very seriously and appreciate your trust. I know it can be stressful leaving your baby with a stranger. I promise to listen to your fears, concerns, and suggestions. I am willing to FaceTime, send tons of pictures, and update you several times a day if that will give you peace of mind. If you give me a chance we can build trust, and as your pet gets to know my home the fear of the unknown will subside and it will be a positive experience for everyone. Thank you sincerely for your leap of faith. I am currently at home all day so I am available for your pets. I also have a dog and three small children who love dogs and cats. I have a fenced in yard and pool fence. I check the yards for predatory birds and snakes. I never leave them unattended if they are inside the pool area.
