Pet care experience

We love being doggy grandparents!

We have a fenced half acre for your fur babies to run free! We accept all breeds and sizes. We have had dogs for over 20 years but currently don't have a dog of our own and love to have dog guests. We would love to have sleepovers to get our fix of licks and wags! Your fur baby would have run of our house (furniture included). I work part-time, but my husband is home all day. Other than occasional trips to the store or out to eat, our fur guests are not left home alone. We only take one family at a time, up to two dogs. We would love to be grandparents to your fur children!

Mary did an excellent job taking care of our little Westie while we attended our son‘s wedding in Lake Wales. She was very accommodating and we would definitely use her again.

Mary was very attentive to Penelope and communicated well. She sent update pictures and was very accommodating. I recommend Mary highly as she seems to care about your pets.

First time leaving our 8 month golden doodle puppy. She was well loved and taken care of by Mary and Nick. She loves to run, so their big fenced yard was great. Mary sent updates and pictures the days we were away. Will definitely use them again if we need them and they are available.

Mary and her husband Nick are great! They were so good with our furbaby Three and made him feel right at home for his first time staying in a new place. They gave multiple updates and sent pictures throughout the stay. We were so relieved and were able to focus on our trip without worrying about our boy being left behind. We hope to book with them again in the future!

Mary and her husband treated our pup like their own. She had snuggles and cuddles that were evident from the photos we got each day. They followed feeding and medication instructions as well. We would use them again and recommend to friends.

Schedule

My husband is home all day and loves having a dog companion to share his day. Our 1/2 acre yard is fenced but snuggled up to watch TV is a typical day.
