We have a large play yard with a 2-story deck and water feature for cooling off. Your furbaby will be treated like royalty while spending time here! Our home is located in Southeast Deland on 2 ½ acres. Our property is a resort like experience for your dog. Your best friend will enjoy playing in one of our doggy yards. Our large play yard consists of a 2-story deck, next to our signature water feature. The waterfall and stream area provides a place to cool off and soak in the flowing water. After playtime, they can relax in the house with their choice of the couch or one of the elevated beds. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including Bordetella) and flea/tick preventative. All adult dogs need to be spayed or neutered. Please send me a picture of your dog’s shot record through the rover app. For your dog’s safety, I do separate dogs while they are eating, when I am away from home and at. I only accept crate trained dogs. Overnight boarding is $37 for adult dogs and $49 for puppies. The puppy rate is charged for any dog up to 12 months old. This is for a 24-hour period. There will be an additional day care fee of $31 for adult dogs and $37 for puppies for pick up day if pick up is later than the drop off time. Example - drop off at 9:00 am on drop off day and pick up later than 9:00 am on pick up day. Holiday rates for boarding are $44 for adult dogs and $56 for puppies. An additional daycare fee of $31 if pick up time is later than drop off time for adult dogs and $49 for puppies. There is no discount for additional dogs. Please let me know the drop off and pick up times you'd like when you send me a request. Holiday rates are charged for all major holidays, including the week before and after Easter, Spring break, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day. Any stay that is during a holiday is charged at the holiday rate for the entire stay. Get to know me before you contact me... I am a friendly, down to earth person that LOVES dogs I will provide quality and loving care for your furbaby! Hi, my name is Kathy Smith. I am originally from Pennsylvania and moved to Florida in 1981 when I enrolled in Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I met a Florida boy and never left Florida. We got married in 1985 and started our family. We raised 2 boys and now our furbabies are our at-home kids 😊 My husband and I have always been animal lovers and at one time had quite a “farm” going with horses, a pot-bellied pig, goat, cats and, of course, many dogs. After going "furbaby-less" for a few years, in 2018, we brought home our first Siberian husky, Rusty, a chocolate red, wooly. Well, huskies are like Lays potato chips...you cannot just have only one. Rusty has brought so much joy to our lives. Therefore, in 2019 we added another husky to our family. Koda, is such a unique boy. He is an Agouti and, in the beginning, it was like having a different dog every month as he went thru his color changes. Well, 3 is better than 2, right?? After being on a waiting list for 2 years, May 2021, we added Oakley to our pack. He is a black and white pie-bald. They each have their own unique personalities! Rusty is scared of my sneezes :) Koda demands belly rubs and Oakley is like a cat, sleeping on the back of the couch. My reason for becoming a dog sitter is quite simple…to provide quality, loving care for dogs while being away from their owners. A few years ago, we needed to board our boys and couldn’t find a place that we trusted to watch our “kids” while we were away. We ended up driving them to our breeder located 1 ½ hours away. We did not feel comfortable with boarding facilities located on a busy road. Our resort, country setting is the perfect location for your baby to spend vacation.
