We have owned and love dogs!

Pet care experience

My wife, Susie, and I live in beautiful downtown Lake Worth Beach in a single family home with a big back yard for the dogs to run and play. Your dogs can roam about our entire property without any restrictions. We take multiple walks every day to provide the necessary exercise all dogs want. I work mostly from home while my wife travels on a very limited basis. This means that at least one of us will be home almost all of the time to make sure our guests have company. We are happy to accommodate any special requests your dog needs. About this sitter: We reside in a lovely single family home located just north of downtown Lake Worth Beach. We have a large fenced in backyard for your dog to play and roam in with our dog. If you would rather we come to your home to take care of your dog(s), we can certainly accommodate you. Either way, your dog(s) will be well taken care of. We always stay in touch to make sure you are informed. We have several dog parks near by plus Bryant Park at the Intracoastal Waterway which is always visited by many friendly dogs. Between my wife and I, we have a combined 55 years of experience owning dogs. We owned every size dog. From a 150 lb Great Dane to a 15 lb Lhasa Apso. We are both fully vaccinated! Why I love dog sitting My wife and I both had dogs during our childhood. We both have a combined experience with dogs for over 55 years. We love any breed or size dog. Meet my pets We used to own a Great Dane (Trudi) which passed away in 2012. We adopted 'Roadie' the following April. Unfortunately, he passed away last March. 😪 He was a super friendly Lhasa Apso who loves all dogs and people. Such a bundle of joy to be around and never stopped making us laugh and smile. We're not quite ready to attempt to find another dog. About my yard We have a generous size backyard with plenty of space for dogs to play and roam. The entire backyard is fenced in by a strongly constructed 6 foot high fence. There is no way a dog can get out unless he can jump over a 6 foot fence. Both of us work flexible schedules so between the 2 of us, we have a schedule that gives plenty of time to cater to your pets needs. The furniture is covered so your pet wil have domain of the main living space as well as the backyard.

My dog has become a more well rounded, better socialized pup since coming here. He is so excited at drop off and not too excited at pickup, which is always a great sign to me. We love it here, it’s his second home.

Martin and Susie took excellent care of our doodle. They sent great photos and consistently made us feel confident with their care. Will definitely use them again

We keep a pretty regular schedule of feeding times, any necessity for medications, and walks. We accommodate whatever you allow such as whether you allow dogs on the furniture or have a crate that they are used to. We did learn quite a while ago that we can't let all that are used to sleeping with you, do the same with us. Tends to make things crowded😁.
