🏡 Boarding & Doggy Daycare: I only host 2 families at a time to provide a calm, homestyle setting. I aim to keep your pups as close to their normal daily routine as possible so their stay feels like an extension of home. I have a fully fenced in backyard for pups to run & play in and plenty of indoor space for lounging & naps 💤 Whether your pup prefers to sleep in the living room or in their crate, I can accommodate it all. I have extensive experience with large dogs, senior dogs & puppies 🦮Walks: 30 or 60 minutes long! I’ll always check the sidewalk with the back of my hand before beginning a walk for heat level in this Florida sun. Poop bags and water provided! Safety first, fun is second! I’m used to strong, large dogs and always stay in full control of your pup. Guaranteed to get that extra energy out! Additional travel fee may apply to distances further than 5 miles away 🏠 🚗 Drop-in visits: I treat each home and pet with respect as if it were my own. Pets will be fed, clean water will be given and play time will be had! I love cats, as well! I’ll make sure your furry friends are all taken care of while you’re away. 🛡️ Fully Insured for Added Protection I carry private pet care insurance through Pet Care Insurance (PCI), a respected coverage provider for professional pet sitters. This extra layer of insurance allows you to feel confident knowing your pet is covered at all times.

*PLEASE NOTE*: - All new boarding clients will require a trial doggy daycare/overnight stay before any extended bookings. This allows me to ensure they're a good fit for a safe and comfortable stay. - For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I'm unable to accept dogs who have severe separation anxiety, are not fully potty trained, or show signs of aggression. - Unneutered male fee is $45/night

Loving Insured PetCare Professional

Pet care experience

🐾 I only care for 2 families’ pups at a time so your pup can get the 1:1 attention they deserve 🐾 8+ years of professional pet care experience 🐾 Privately Insured for extra protection 🐾 Privacy Fence 🐾 Pet First Aid & CPR Certified 🐶My Care Style💗 I love Rover because it allows me to offer a home-away-from-home 🏡 This is my full-time career so your pet’s care, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Here, they are family! I pride myself on being reliable and responsive, sending daily photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, comfortable and well cared for. My own pup recently crossed the rainbow bridge, so being trusted with your furry family members means more than I can put into words. Having paws running through the house and dogs playing in the yard again brings so much joy and that love carries into the care I provide to all my furry guests. Dogs are welcome to cuddle on the couch and sleep where they’re most comfortable. Crates are only used if they’re part of your dog’s normal routine and will always be respected. My goal is to keep your pup’s stay familiar, calm, and as stress-free as possible - feeling less like a boarding experience and more like a vacation for them 🏝️ I have a large 6 foot privacy fence around my entire yard where your pups can play while being fully supervised at all times. I care for every dog as if they were my own, because nothing matters more than the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is truly in good hands.

I appreciate the care you take with my baby. And I really appreciate the safety aspect as far as neighbors. We do know a lot of them but, you don’t and that’s totally cool! And yes. She chases the maintenance guys. lol 🐾🐶
