Pet Boarding in Merritt Island

About: I love puppy training and providing personalized care for dogs of all ages. I know the importance of building strong bonds with pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. We live on the Banana River and offer a water experience for loving dogs, allowing them to enjoy the water and burn off energy. My commitment to your pet's happiness and well-being sets me apart, and I tailor each visit to your dog's specific needs. I have flexible schedules and enjoy staying busy. What better way to spend our time than with furry friends? I truly enjoy every moment! Let's Run... I care for pets by providing a safe, comfortable environment with a private, escape-proof fenced-in backyard. We live in a small community, and there’s a riverfront park at the end of the street for outdoor fun!

About: Social animal lover, small dog owner, experienced pet caregiver, and current rescue volunteer, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets of all personalities and needs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My two-hour visits are structured as drop-ins tailored to your pet’s routine and can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. My goal is always to reduce stress for both pets and owners by providing calm, consistent care you can trust. (Service radius 4-5m) I also offer in-home (my home) boarding on a limited basis when it’s the right fit for your pet. My home is in a quiet community with a fenced yard, and I focus on creating a peaceful, comforting environment where animals can relax and feel secure. I’m unable to offer housesitting in your home at this time. My bond with animals began early in life and has stayed with me ever since. From caring for cats and dogs of my own to volunteering with local shelters. If you’re looking for someone responsible, nurturing, and truly devoted to animals, I would be honored to care for your pet like family. Retired and available to love up all the furry friends. I have a reliable vehicle. I also have a pet booster seat for the smaller pets, recognizing the importance of their inability to have the same view as the larger dogs. Did you know? Small dogs can get vertigo in the back seat or in a lower view? It’s true! Looking forward to meeting your furry loves. Caring for pets in a client’s home is a very trusting requirement I do not take lightly. Every client deserves their furry child cared for and overall expectations for their sweet furry child exceptional. Every pet is unique in their wants and needs are important, getting to know pet parents helps aid in visual cues by both the owner and the pet upon that first meeting as well as interactions thereafter. I am also a pet portrait photographer and if your pet is photographed I will offer this as a complementary service to my current availability. I care for my pets very seriously. I have one dog who was rescued from a puppy mill, who is a special-needs pet and does require Special food due to allergies and has enjoyed a life of love, affection, medical care, compassion, and kindness throughout his 11 years. I have a lovely fenced in yard that allows for the furry friends to relax, play or nap in the shade. I have multiple pet beds and bowls available.

“A true blessing! I could not recommend a sitter more than Carie!!! The whole trip she sent so many photos and updates of all the fun Nugget had while I was away. Nugget isn't able to see well/ walk much, but Carie and her wonderful son put him in a bike trailer and stroller and let him go see so much. I think he had more fun than I did! A++, If you are looking for someone to watch your baby pet then 100% get Carie.”

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs. Whether your dog needs some long walks around the neighborhood or your cat prefers quiet companionship and scratches behind the ears, I am here to provide a safe and loving environment. I am punctual, communicative, and attentive to detail; I'll do my best to ensure your pets stay happy and healthy while you're away. I'm currently a stay at home mom homeschooling my 3 boys. I can provide all day companionship and activity for your fur babies and plenty of walks and play time. Communication: I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing with care log. Safety First: I am extremely mindful of leash safety, dietary restrictions, and home security. If I'm coming to your pet's space, we would start with a well check of the environment to make sure nothing has changed since you said goodbye to them. Taking them out for a walk and then settling them back down when we get home with quick grooming if needed, water, and some play time or petting depending on what they need. Finishing with a full report so you know just how it went. I have a pet friendly home ready to invite your fur babies over to play with my two dogs (7 years old, sisters, mixed breed). Fenced in backyard area and a great neighborhood for walks. Plenty of outdoor shaded area to relax and plenty of indoor play space to keep cool on hot Florida days.

“This was the first time I needed a sitter for my pup. Laura was such an amazing host! She treated my baby as her own and made him feel at home. She sent so many pictures and videos which helped put me at ease. I absolutely will use her again!!! Thank you so much!”

“Dominique is a great dog sitter! She really gave our dog Clyde a wonderful stay at her house with lots of attention, exercise and treats. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.”

“Lori is professional, courteous and extremely responsive. I received pictures daily of activities and on goings with my dog. I have never boarded my 15 year old senior maltipoo before and Lori's care put me at ease while I was away. I love the service she offers of picking up and dropping off which allowed my to deal with the chaos I had to prior to helping a family member move to another state! I highly recommend her and already have her booked again real soon!”

Laura O.

About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.

“Rachel was exceptional. This was our first time boarding Maezli, but she affirmed that we made the best decision. Rachel was communicative and committed to maintaining Maezli's routine. Maezli has never been happier.”

“With very short notice, Katrina was extremely flexible and accommodating. She has an amazing set up for dogs of any personality or size. Her extensive experience made both my wife and I very comfortable in knowing our dog (boxer, hound, pit mix) would be taken care of. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Katrina and will be utilizing her services on a regular basis in the near future.”

“Nytza and her family helped me out last minute when I was in a bind and they took great care of my Bella with frequent picture updates! Highly recommend.”

About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds and sizes. I treat every dog like my own — providing walks, feeding, bathing, and lots of love. Your pet will always feel safe and happy with me! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pets every day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to ensure they get the attention and care they need. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment in my home for every pet. At the moment, I am only boarding cats in my home to ensure a quiet, peaceful sanctuary tailored entirely to their comfort. My space is fully secured and set up so your kitty can safely explore, relax, and receive plenty of personalized attention. Additionally, I offer drop-in visits where I can travel to your home to care for either your dogs or cats. I can drop by for a quick visit to feed them, refresh their water, clean the litter box, or provide some playtime and company to keep them happy while you are away!

“Sylvia was amazing while boarding our dogs. She provided updates and pictures on a regular basis. It was a great piece of mind to know they were well taken care of while we were away. They loved her and had so much fun during their stay. They can't wait to stay over again.”

Ana G.

“We are so happy to have found Susan and Hadassah. This is our first time leaving our fur babies with not a family member. What we can say is Susan and Hadassah are now a part of our family. They treated our fur babies with the same kind of love and care as we do. Our fur babies were so happy all the time. Susan always kept us updated and sent us messages about them. We were at ease knowing that our fur babies were being taking care by a wonderful and caring person. Thank you so much Susan and Hadassah for being amazing. Duke and Bruce will 100% be back again.”

Sandy C.

“Carl and Nancy cared for our dog recently and took great care of him. We got several pictures which was very much appreciated, and he had such a good time. We would not hesitate to call them again (actually, we already have!). Thank you Carl and Nancy for your caring and kind attention to our Mickey!”
