Information MaryEllen W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs. Does your pet get along with others? Do they have separation anxiety? Do they use a bark collar or pee pee pads at home? Where do they like to sleep at night? How can I make their stay less stressful?

A typical day

Gulf Breeze proper has an amazing 4 mile walking path and I live in the middle of it. When the weather is nice its a great way to get the pups outside, active and happy! Of course our days also include playtime in the fully fenced yard, swim time in the pool for the water lovers, and lazy afternoon naps on the dog couches! ❤️.

Fur baby boarding!

Pet care experience

**Currently only boarding smaller breeds- 25 pounds or less for the safety and comfort of all. I frequently have very small breed pups staying over and I want to keep them safe and comfortable! My name is MaryEllen and I am a nurse by profession but have always wished I had gone into veterinary medicine instead! I have cared for, boarded and fostered countless animals in my lifetime and would love to take care of yours! I have experience with special needs pets, medications and senior care. All pets have free range of the house and fully fenced yard. I do have a private bedroom if your baby needs its own private space -(ie anxiety issues, restricted mobility).

Amazing experience! She is seriously the best. She is so kind, welcoming, and caring. She kept me updated the entire time by sending pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was well cared for and loved while I was away. She is incredibly sweet, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate! 🩷

This is my second time boarding Daysi with Mary Ellen. She is the very BEST! She sent me lots of updates and pictures. Daysi returned to me very happy. Every other time I have boarded Daysi, she returned whimpering and a little distressed--not with Mary Ellen! I don't think she missed me at all! Thank you Mary Ellen for giving me a peace of mind that Daysi was well cared for as I vacationed!! I will be back!

Great sitter! Very friendly, attentive and welcoming! She took on my two pups at the last minute; literally booked a two night stay and dropped them off within two hours! Thank you for everything!
