Home away from home for pets

Pet care experience

My mother and step father owned a dog boarding and daycare center in Hollywood Florida which I worked at while I was a teenager. I was responsible for 20+ dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and sizes. I cared for dogs with disabilities as well so any medication or disabilities can be accommodated for. I can provide nail filings, I do not use a clipper to avoid pinching nails. I can also provide baths, drying and a brushing out at the end of a stay if that's a service you are interested in that. I have trimmed nails and bathed all sorts of dogs so I am very well versed in deshedding and brushing outs. I have a nature trail right across the street from my house so I can take your dogs on long walks. I also volunteered in a zoo for a couple months so I have experience with all types of animals. I have always had pets in my life my family had dogs, cats, and exotic pets as well. I absolutely love animals and can give your pet a home away from home.

Victoria was so nice and accommodating with a quick booking with a puppy!! When in the area again I would definitely reach out and see if she would be available!

She was amazing. Very attentive and kind. My puppy is a chihuahua so naturally he's a scaredy cat. She took really good care of him and even sent me an update to make sure he's okay. Her prices are very reasonable and I'll def be using her again to watch my baby.

Everything turned out great for my dog’s first time. He looked happy when I picked him up. Victoria kept great care of my Duke! I will use her again and I recommend anyone to use her for caring for your dog. She’s awesome.

I am an animal lover to the core and I like to think I do my very best to provide top tier care for any animals in my care. You can rest assured that when you leave your dogs with me they will be loved on and played with all day, everyday. Me and my family will welcome them into our home and treat them as if they were our own pets. I am also more than willing provide videos and pictures on a daily basis of your pet while they are in my care, if that will help ease your worries. 05/8/2023 Update: Me and my husband have installed a fence in our yard, to allow me to give the pups in my care a more stimulating stay. I will continue to add to my home to allow dogs to have the best, one on one, most stimulating experience I can provide to give your dogs a true home away from home. Of course your dogs will always have access to shade and fresh cool water in the hot months. And they will never be left unsupervised outside, I will be out there with them at all times to play and ensure they are always safe.

ALL DOGS MUST BE OKAY WITH CATS! If your dog is not okay with cats I WILL NOT watch them for any period of time so make sure your dog's profile specifies if they are good with cats. In preparation for a boarding stay I always recommend owners send either a bed or blanket with the dog, especially if the dog has never boarded with me. This is to make your dog more comfortable as having something that smells like home helps them adjust to the new surroundings. I do need food either split into meals or the food in a bag or container with WRITTEN directions of how much food they get at each feeding. If your dog takes medication I will also need WRITTEN directions on how you administer them and how often they get the medication. This is for the safety of your dog, due do the fact that I usually have more than one dog in my home I like to have written directions to avoid any confusion. If you are just bringing your dog for daycare all I will need is your dogs collar and leash. They're meals and or medications with WRITTEN directions on how much and how often they get them. Seeing as I like to keep the dogs in my care engaged with lots of outside time please let me know if your dog/dogs have any heat sensitivities so I can accommodate for that. If your dog has any medical conditions I NEED to be made aware of them, and what the symptoms are for those conditions. Again I am very adamant about keeping your dogs not only happy but safe, comfortable, and healthy in my care so please be thorough and transparent with anything you think I need to know about your dog so I can accommodate them. Also if your dogs nails are over grown or your dog is dirty, or has fleas or ticks I will be either doing a nail trim on them and or a bath which will be an extra charge.

A typical day

In my care your dogs will be engaged with throughout their whole stay. I do not put my dogs in cages so they will be free to roam around my house and play as they please while always being under supervision to assure their safety. The fun doesn't end there though, as long as the weather allows me, I will take your dogs for walks all over my neighborhood as well as on the nature trail across the street from my house. Rest assured your pups will be played with and shown an endless amount of love while staying with me, all while you get picture and video updates on their stay. My prices are listed on my profile, if you are a first time client of mine please ask about my coupon code to get a discount on your first stay with me. When scheduling through Rover you can set up a meet and greet to meet me before your dogs stay and also to see where your dog/dogs will be staying. The meet and greet is not mandatory but it is encouraged. Also you will need to give me a time for when you will be dropping off and picking up. This is not set in stone and can be changed I just ask to be made aware ahead of time of any time delays for drop off and pick up. I am very flexible with my schedule but do require notice ahead of time if you will be late for picking up specifically so I can make sure I make Rover aware of those changes.
