I have a fenced in yard and one dog to keep your fur baby happy and in good company. I can crate your dog if needed or if you prefer. Please bring their crate if crate trained and sleep or are used to going in and out of their "home'. Sometimes it helps them having their scent.

Information Janet R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has behaviors I need to know about, example scratching doors, food sensitivities, jumping, etc that I can account for. I prefer to know this beforehand to avoid any situations. Example if I need to run an errand and your pet has separation anxiety, I need to know whether he/she can be alone in my bedroom and not chew on anything? Do they chew on shoes or have a shoe obsession? Dash for the door? etc. Will they jump on the counter and try to throw food to Chance? All of this is ok, I just prefer to know so I don't leave things out, lol.

A typical day

Dogs play together in my backyard. They won’t have time to be sad or miss you as Chance will keep them company and always playing. I also have balls and toys to also keep them happy. See pictures on my profile. The dogs I take care of more often love coming back and race to get inside the house.

Dog’s Dream Vacation

Pet care experience

Hello, thank you for taking an interest in boarding your pet with me at a Dog’s Dream Vacation provided by a dog lover. Here is a link offering pet parents a $20 off their first booking with Rover. https://www.rover.com/sit/janetr47513 I love dogs and I am a borderline dog whisperer. When your pet stays with me, they are getting a vacation of their own. When you travel or go on vacation, they get to have a getaway of their own. If using the Rover App, scroll through the top picture to see the photo gallery of dogs having fun and enjoying their vacation. If on the desktop website, click on full gallery photos. Rover is definitely better than boarding your pet at a dog hotel, especially if they have anxiety. It is like Air BnB for your pet. : ) I live on a small peaceful lake with a big, fenced backyard. There is usually a nice breeze. I have a big open space home and a large backyard, plus a pool. Pets can go in the pool. I know golden retrievers and labradors can’t resist, so please let me know if your dog may attempt to go in and if you prefer that they don’t. I do not allow pets in the lake. The lake is closed off, not connected to other lakes or canals (very safe). I have a cute, playful, friendly Labrador so your pet will also have a playmate. His name is Chance. He is 7 years old and neutered. He is also crate trained. He gets along with all dogs and all sizes. In the pictures you can see other dogs I have taken care of. The last few pictures are of me and Chance having fun. Our prices are in line with the market rate (and cheaper than a dog hotel) but in my home, your dog is getting a vacation and a playmate (as mentioned in the details above). I prefer dogs that are potty trained. I also prefer friendly breeds. Please bring your dog’s bed, food and 2 poop bags per day. Also bring their crate if crate trained (this is in case only if I have more than 2 dogs during busy holiday season AND only if they are used to their home crate). It also helps some dogs feel at home and have their own scent. Be sure they are bathed and clean as they tend to also use Chance’s dog bed or lay on our rugs. I prefer they do not go on furniture but it’s ok if they do (Chance lays on the couch all the time). I am available weekends and/or holidays. I can also provide dog walks in Brickell during the weekday. On some occasions I can do a dog visit but it depends on day and location. Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions.

Janet took wonderful care of my Gus. He loved her outdoor area with a pool and a lake. Even though he does not like to swim, watching the ducks in the lake kept him occupied for hours.

Janet was great! She took great care of my dog and sent plenty of pictures too. Bob Marley has a new place for staycations.

Daisy had a great time staying at Janet’s home! Janet has a lovely home and yard, I’m sure the dogs enjoy play time there. Janet is attentive and accommodates to your pets’ needs and behaviors. Daisy even came back bathed and smelling wonderful! Would definitely book her again

Janet made it easy to meet for the first time and drop off and pick up were super easy and convenient. Pup had a great time with her friendly dog.
