Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard with room for them to run and play. Trees for shade as well as an enclosed pool if you choose to let them swim in the hot summer months. Unlimited filtered water provided throughout the day. When the weather is nice I open my patio doors to give the dogs the luxury to choose to be inside or outside whenever they want. I have baskets of dog toys for them to choose from which are cleaned/ sanitized after each stay. If your pup is a picky eater or chooses not to eat their food let me know I am happy to cook him up something special during their stay. All dogs must have updated rabies vaccine and flea/tick/heart-worm prevention. Must provide vet information and list of any allergies your pet has.

Information Lauren K. would like to know about your pet

*ALL Dogs must be up to date on flea/tick and heart worm protection. I don’t accept dogs with fleas as this is my home and have dogs of my own to keep protected. ❤️ I’m skilled in special needs animals and have no problem providing medication or anything specific your baby might need. I would need advance notice to make sure I am well prepared for any special requests you might have to keep your baby comfortable during their stay. If your pup might have a history of spraying inside I do have doggie diapers I can provide as accidents do happen. Most importantly please provide me with their normal day to day schedule so I can keep that same consistency of care they receive at home.

A typical day

My house is pet proof clean and secure. I sanitize everything before the next dogs stay. We start the day with a walk and/or playtime outside! All dogs are fed on their scheduled routine each pet parent provides. Dog toys are throughout the house for them to enjoy. We like to take walks to the park close by! I let your dog choose how they want to enjoy their day. I have several outdoor fans to keep the shaded outdoors comfortable if they choose to be outside by the pool on those hot summer days. I have sun sails, shaded trees and bamboo giving them perfect spots for nap time, or inside the house with central air in a comfortable doggie bed.

Pets

Peace of Mind Pets needs first ❤️

Pet care experience

With over 30 years experience caring for animals large and small. I am passionate about helping others have peace of mind while they are away knowing their babies are loved and cared for. I am actively involved in a Parrot Rescue on the board of directors to help find loving homes for abandoned parrots. No animal is too big or too small to manage from Dogs, Cats and livestock I have the care experience. I own two horses and also assist with barn care for multiple horses, dogs, cats, minis, ponies, goats, bunnies, sheep, chickens, and ducks. My experience also includes raising baby animals until they are old enough to thrive on their own. My children receive the same education and responsibility providing them with the patience, and understanding of each and every animals needs. With this my children are active members of the University of Florida 4H program. Overall my family is very respectful and loving to all animals. **New Client Special** Use my promo code for $20 off your first boarding care: Code: LAUREK86968

Lauren was awesome! Welcomed Bentley into their house with open arms and so did their two beautiful dogs. Bentley had so much fun swimming and staying active! We will definitely be back!
