If you are seeking the best home away from home experience for your pet than look no further. Here at our modern 4,500 square foot home on ½ acre your baby will become a member of our family. He or she has full access to anywhere in the house or backyard so long as they are in close proximity to family. At no point will your pet ever be alone without a human nearby. Your baby will receive one-on-one attention and to ensure this we will typically not take more than 3 dog families. All our four-legged guests are expected to curl next to us on the sofa or lay nearby on the cool tile while we watch television. They will sleep in cozy pet beds in our bedroom or if they prefer snuggle next to us in our beds. They will receive custom baked dog cookies, gourmet treats, or non-rawhide bones. Most importantly they will receive lots of stimulation, attention, and love. The lucky pets who get to stay with us have access to six members of the family. My husband, Joe, and I are retired and we have the time to dedicate to our guests. Joe generally spends more time with the larger dogs. He is ex-military and the dogs that prefer structure, discipline, and exercise gravitate to him. My kids call me “the pied-piper of dogs” and usually the smaller to middle sized dogs follow me around since I am the one who feeds them and provides long belly rubs and behind the ear scratches. My college-aged daughter lavishes her time on the puppies and typically whisks them away into her bedroom. My 16-year-old son spends many afternoons outside playing fetch with the dogs or wrestling with them in the family room. He takes our higher energy dogs for a 45-minute vigorous walk or run around the neighborhood if requested. My Aunt lives with us and she pitches in to make special meals for our finicky eaters or bake healthy treats. She is integral in keeping the house sanitized and tidy. Lastly is Bosley, our rambunctious Havanese pup, who is the boss. He helps let us know which pets we can accept as our guests. He can be playful but he spends more time napping or munching on his Nylabone. We have set up our pet sitting business to rival and compete with the well-known pet resorts in the area. Dogs can enter and exit the home/yard multiple times a day for no extra charge. The yard is fully-fenced with a shady pergola and a screened in lanai with a doggy door. On warm days we will fill up a small pool for our four-legged guests who enjoy the water. If your pet has over indulged and gotten very dirty we will provide a bath if he/she is cooperative. We take extra precautions to protect our dogs from trying to escape our home or backyard or chewing on things that they shouldn’t. If your dog has health issues or prefers not to be with any of our guests, I can accommodate him/her. There is a second family room upstairs and your dog can lounge while I watch television or complete some daily tasks on the computer. I do this often for our smaller or more sensitive pups. We never charge for extra play or cuddle time. I send multiple photos and videos of your babies everyday and in fact have scheduled FaceTime/WhatsApp calls for owners and their pets. We never crate any guest unless you specifically request it. They are not locked away in a concrete “suite” at night and extra charges will not apply if your pet needs to sleep alone in another room with one of us. If your pet needs that extra dose of personal attention and enjoys human interaction and a family setting we offer a unique experience that few can match.
