Pet care experience
Dog Paradise on an acre in Cocoa
***Because Rover does not screen vaccine records, I require all clients to provide them upfront. For safety and liability reasons, I can’t host any dog without verified Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations. Once you upload the records here, I’ll immediately move forward with the booking. Thanks for understanding!*** What sets me apart is my background in professional dog training, behavior and veterinary medicine. I understand dog body language, canine dynamics and ethology, and know how to create a safe, low-stresss environment for every dog in my care. I am a certified member of the IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants), a KPA (Karen Pryor Academy) graduate and a member of the Fear Free community, specializing i daycare/boarding environments. I am an insured LLC as well. We focus on quality over quantity, enrichment over chaos and communication over confusion. Dogs aren't left to 'figure it out' amongst themselves.

Great experience and she took great care of my spoiled rotten Shih Tzu🐶
Mandy was extremely helpful and caring to our boys, especially with their unique needs. Her property is amazing and helped our boys feel at home. We will 100000% be using her services for all our day care and boarding needs!
Mandy was so good with our puppy! She sent videos during his stay with her and made me feel even better about leaving him with her. Seems like he had a great time playing! Mandy was extremely kind and professional. Will definitely be using her again in the future!
Mandy is kind to every animal she encounters, regardless of where they've come from or their past. She is a fierce advocate for positive reinforcement and fear free training. I've always trusted her advice and knowledge when asking her questions. She's dedicated her life to educating herself and treating animals with respect and love. You won't regret choosing her to take care of your loved ones.
I have known Mandy for years and she is the most dedicated animal lover I have ever met. Not only does she have so much love when it comes to caring for animals, especially dogs, she is well versed in dog behavior management, dog training and animal enrichment. She understands the nonverbal communication dogs show and response accordingly without pushing boundaries but instead, showing understanding and respect to their space. She loves taking pictures of the pets she watches over and sends them to the owners so they can have a piece of mind and see their fur-babies while on vacation. Your pet is in great hands with Mandy watching and caring for them.
Mandy is my go to for everything “dogs”. She has dedicated her life to learning about and caring for animals. Between her vet tech experience and her job as an animal welfare advocate, she is built to handle any kind of dog in any situation. Mandy is happiest when surrounded by dogs and is an expert at keeping them engaged and feeling loved. She treats them all as if they were her own and is very communicative with clients. I highly recommend and trust her to provide the best care for my fur kids!

Schedule
Caring for pets is woven into the very fabric of my everyday life. I built this business on the idea that I get to raise a family from home and work with the species I have built so much knowledge upon. Dogs thrive on routine and consistency so they are always monitored and their needs are met. Dogs aren't just part of my lifestyle, they're literally my life.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At our home, pets are treated like family. We focus on keeping everyone safe, happy and comfortable while respecting each individual dogs needs. Positive, reward based methods are used to help dogs become more confident and relaxed. Dogs get the appropriate balance of play, rest and enrichment throughout the day. Cleanliness is also important and we follow veterinary protocols to maintain a healthy environment. During your dogs stay with us whether its for boarding or a day of play, low stress and structured play is heavily supervised. Body language is a specialty of mine and we carefully monitor group dynamics and tailor care to each dogs comfort level. Even if your dog doesn't care for the company of other dogs, we are able to appropriately provide plenty of 1:1 time during their stay.
A typical day
Seasonal activities include pool play, splash pads, dig pits, sniffaris and much more. The acre is fenced in and there are plenty of opportunities to be a dog! We start the day with potty breaks and breakfast, followed by structured play and enrichment activities. Midday includes downtime and puzzle toys and the afternoon is guaranteed play, training games or snuggles before dinner. Every pets stay is individually adjusted to match their personality, energy level and routine at home.
