VACATION for your PETS at our RANCH

Pet care experience

We offer a safe, loving home and ranch environment for your beloved fur family members. We have had many types of animals; small & large dogs, horses, goats, birds, cats, rabbits, monkeys, pigs, etc., and board the same. My studies include animal whispering, aromatherapy, positive reinforcement, breeding of mainly working line Border Collies and Labrador Retriever dogs for show, therapy, pets and work duties for many years. We've also rescued some of our ranch animals. My husbands background is agriculture and he is familiar with all situations that may arise being on a farm/ranch. We have on call vets that come to us or will use your vet in case of any unforseen emergency. Our own pets are socialized with other animals and integrate well with short term and long term visitors. We make your pets experience here welcoming and fun. It's as if they've had their own vacation and look forward to returning. We have many return clients and will make an effort to accommodate your baby even if we are full in last minute emergency situations. We are comfortable with caring for puppies. There are also Igloos and shade trees available during outside time in the doggie yard. We are Intentions Ranch located 30 minutes west of Fort Lauderdale Airport and 40 minutes north of Miami Airport. You an also find us on Instagram & Facebook.

We highly recommend Tara & Eduardo! So warm, welcoming and knowledgeable about dogs. We felt so comfortable traveling, knowing our Golden was well cared for. And it was obvious he had the best time with his new friends from the videos and photos they sent us. Thanks so much!

AMAZING WINDERFUL SWEET CARING UNDERSTANDING. Tara and her husband helped us at our most challenging times. We have been blessed to have found them. I know Destiny will miss them greatly, but I will not take her anywhere else. I haigly recommend them. The best part is knowing that Destiny was loved and understood. That means the world to me!

5 star service!!!!! We took our dog Leia here and Tara and Edwardo took great care of her. They have a very large yard for the dogs to play. They send pictures of her during her stay which is really awesome! She looks like she is always having a blast. It’s nice that she has other dogs to interact with and that she’s not n a crate all day. They are very communicative and follow all our instructions with feeding, because our dog has allergies. We will definitely be back.

Information Tara C. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog/ pet animal friendly? Will they attack cats or goats? Are they up to date with their shots, deworming, flea and heart worming? Are there any conditions we should be aware of? Have you recently been to a dog park or kennel? Have you been around any sick dogs? *For the safety of our little ones.... We sometimes have puppies and must be assured that your dog is perfect health and not been in any place where they may have been exposed to parvo virus, (such as dog parks or kennels or rescue facilities within the past 60 days.) Does your loved one require any medication? Do you have any special requests? *Please bring flee and tick free. Ideally groomed when they arrive. We highly suggest and offer a nice fresh Ba'ath before pick up if arranged. *Please bring their own crate, food, bowls and treats in a labeled bin. *Please add service fee for any extra care such as administering medication, special needs or puppy attention.

A typical day

We have several acres, a fenced play yard that's like a dog park. We also play frisbee and ball. Kiddy pools available. They get to meet visiting goats, horses, donkeys, barn cats and other animals. It's a great socializing experience for them. We take picture and clips when possible and update you on their experience.

Availability

I am also a professional coach, wellness facilitator and therapist, working with clients virtually and at the ranch so I am here most of the time. In between sessions I play ball, give treats and chat with all the animals calling them by name. My husband spends at least 8 hours a day personally caring and interacting. The animals love him. He is a true animal whisperer and loves being around all kinds of animals since he was as young as he could remember on his grandmothers farm.
