Pet care experience

🔥 First time booking with Rover? You can use the code MELISF68291 to book your first Rover stay with us and receive $20 off from Rover (Add the code when booking). ✓ About Us: We have years of experience with dogs and cats through all stages of their life and have had pets our entire lives. Scott and I truly enjoy taking care of them. We have also successfully rescued many animals over the years ranging from dogs to horses. I work my own schedule as a BSN RN so I'm very open with availability during the week and weekend. My husband is also available and helps with our pet guests. We live on 10 fenced acres with several large fenced areas for pets to play. We're with the pets through the day and always provide regular potty breaks. Our property has several areas for play for dogs with great recall, fenced areas for dogs without good recall, and secure fencing surrounding our 10 acre property for safety. There are lots of access to automatic doggie water fountains inside and out. When our pet guests aren't outside playing (always supervised), they stay and sleep indoors which is especially important here in Florida.

Melissa, Scott, and their kids have been wonderful! They welcomed my dog and treated her as their own. Even when my dog had a very big digestive issues causing her bathroom needs to be a lot of work! They didn’t hesitate to welcome her, take her potty a million times, give her medicine, and monitor her diet. I couldn’t have found better people to care and love for her. An added bonus is their land. It’s extremely spacious and allowed for scout to run and explore. She is always tired when she returns home! You will not be disappointed leaving you dogs with them!

Melissa and Scott are two of the most caring, loving and genuine individuals I've had the pleasure to meet. They go above and beyond to make sure Koda was cared and loved for. Great communication and flexibility, we've become part of the family and couldn't ask for better people. Thank you both again from the bottom of my heart♥️

Availability

✓ AVAILABILITY We're very open with availability during the week and on weekends and we're normally both at home! We schedule by appointment but we'll accept same day requests if we're available. ✓ DAYCARE STAYS For Daycare stays, we are available by appointment only between 8:30am - 5:30pm for drop-off and pickup times. If you need dropoff or pickup times outside those hours, please discuss your needs with us. After 7pm, Daycare Stays become Overnight Stays unless there's a prior arrangement with us. ✓ SPECIAL NEEDS We've been able to accommodate special requests for clients many times so don't hesitate to discuss your pet's needs with us. We'll provide a safe "home away from home" for your furry loved ones. • Large dogs, strong-willed dogs, show dogs, senior dogs, small dogs, and dogs with medical needs are all welcome! • Just be sure to completely update us on your pets so we can care for them properly. ✓ MEET & GREETS: Because of a stalker situation that occurred, we NO LONGER allow strangers/Rovers in our home. You are welcome to view the pictures of our clients online and we will definitely send you pictures of your pet(s) while they are with us. But, for our FAMILY'S SAFETY and peace-of-mind, we ask everyone to respect the privacy of our family's home. If this is a deal-breaker for you, we respectfully suggest that you explore other pet sitters or have us take care of your pets on a drop-in basis at your home.
