Dog Boarding in Palm Beach Gardens

Pampering and lots of fun is what your pet will receive in my cozy home. We have great adventures exploring on long walks or just cuddling up and hanging out. Many families have come to know and trust me to take excellent care of their pets. I am completely dependable and can give lots of great references. I understand the importance of having a sense of peace while you are away. Here, your pet is considered part of our family. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your particular needs!

About this sitter:

I am passionate about taking excellent care of pets, and understand the need of the owner to feel completely comfortable and confident while away from their furry friend. Dogs (or other pets) are considered a part of our family and can run and play or cuddle and nap anywhere they want. My family and I are always vigilant looking for any dogs who may be lost or in distress. For some reason, many end up in our backyard! We have rescued several, safely returning them to their owners (usually after a sudsy bath and warm meal). The owners are so appreciative, especially when it is an older dog with health problems. Overall, my husband and I, along with our three children, enjoy helping others, especially our canine friends.

Why I love dog sitting

At the age of 12, when my family got our first puppy, I was the one who took him to my room and looked after him to be sure he was well taken care of. We went on long, adventurous hikes together and were pals. When first moving out of my family home, I would notice all the forgotten dogs left out in the cold, wintery weather. So, of course, I would take them all in and feed them. The problem is when they all wanted to sleep with me on my twin-sized bed. They would "grrr" at each other to claim their space and it got very crowded. Since then, I have owned many animals and loved them all. Today, that spirit continues as I keep an eye open for lost or distressed dogs. My family and I have rescued many, returning them to their grateful families. When we found that one was abandoned and had no family, we decided to keep her - a playful jack russell. She has become an energetic and fun part of the family.

Meet my pets

Sweet, little teacup chihuahua (happy to sit on a lap all day and be petted); and a rascally jack russell who we rescued off the street and is thrilled to constantly chase a tennis ball or a dragonfly, whichever flies by!

About my yard

We have two acres of land where dogs enjoy playing and sniffing around on.

My experience administering medication

Yes, no problem.

I have 35+ years of dog experience....taking care of our own (until Sparky passed) and helping other dog owners with theirs. I work out of my home so dogs are always supervised. We have lots of room for dogs to play, relax and socialize.....both inside and outside in our fenced yard. Our backyard is separated by 2 large fenced-in “dog runs” to keep dogs seperate if needed during playtime. I DO NOT CRATE, if you’ll rather have your pup crated, please provide me with one. Our neighborhood is calm and fairly traffic-free (though we are just off the intersection of Military Trail and Northlake Blvd). BOARDING: 25 hours of care per day-EXAMPLE: drop off 10 am, pick up at 11 on day of pick up unless booking is more 4 days or more. Please discuss with me late pick ups. Weekdays drop offs/pick ups: no earlier than 7:30 am. Weekends drop offs/pick ups: no earlier than 9 am.

Please be prompt or kindly let me know if you are running late.

Why should your dog spend the day alone when he or she can come over my place and have some (supervised) fun....or relax in the sun?

Hope to see your pup soon!

Letty

Although I have only been offering pet sitting as a service for about four years, I have lived with dogs all my life from Chihuahuas to German shepherds. I have first-hand experience dealing with the daily needs of senior dogs. My dog, Mouse, is currently undergoing chemotherapy and treatment for aggressive cancer. So I am not afraid to take care of sick pets or animals that need extra love and attention! My house sits on over an acre of fenced-in property, so there is plenty of room to run and play! I also have cared for exotic pets, cats, chickens, and pigs in the past. While I have little or no experience with horses, I live in the Farms so I am happy to learn. No pet is too big or small!

I thoroughly love what I do and look forward to meeting you!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I try to respond to messages as quickly as possible! :)

My wife and I live in beautiful downtown Lake Worth in a single family home with a big back yard for the dogs to run and play. Your dogs can roam about our entire property without any restrictions. We take multiple walks every day to provide the necessary exercise all dogs want. I work mostly from home while my wife travels on a very limited basis. This means that at least one of us will be home almost all of the time to make sure our guests have company.

We are happy to accommodate any special requests your dog needs.

About this sitter:

We reside in a lovely single family home located just north of downtown Lake Worth. We have a large fenced in backyard for your dog to play and roam in with our dog. If you would rather we come to your home to take care of your dog(s), we can certainly accommodate you. Either way, your dog(s) will be well taken care of. We always stay in touch to make sure you are informed. We have several dog parks near by plus Bryant Park at the Intracoastal Waterway which is always visited by many friendly dogs.

Between my wife and I, we have a combined 55 years of experience owning dogs. We owned every size dog. From a 150 lb Great Dane to a 15 lb Lhasa Apso.

Why I love dog sitting

My wife and I both had dogs during our childhood. We both have a combined experience with dogs for over 55 years. We love any breed or size dog.

Meet my pets

We used to own a Great Dane (Trudi) which passed away in 2012. We adopted 'Roadie' the following April. He is a super friendly Lhasa Apso who loves all dogs and people. He is just a bundle of joy to be around and never stops making us laugh.

About my yard

We have a generous size backyard with plenty of space for dogs to play and roam. The entire backyard is fenced in by a newly constructed 6 foot high fence. There is no way a dog can get out unless he can jump over a 6 foot fence.

Hello and Welcome! :) Dog owner and lover since my first pet Daisy at age 6. I come from a long line of dog lovers. Both my parents trained dogs and encouraged me to spread love to our furry companions all my life. I know how important these family members are and also just how important it is to you, the owner, that your furry friend is well taken care of and provided for while you are away. I will make sure I take care of your baby(ies) the same loving way I take care of my own.

Whether inside or out, dogs will enjoy their time while staying with me. I have a LARGE fenced in backyard where dogs can run, play fetch and socialize with other guests. Meanwhile our guests inside will be spoiled with pets, cuddles, attention, and plenty of interaction. It is my experience that owners inform me that all their pets could do is sleep after leaving! Whether an abundance of energy or prefers to lounge in the cool A/C...I make sure to match your pups energy and ensure their stay with me is nothing shy of amazing! This is the perfect place to send your dog while you are away and want peace of mind. For dogs who require separate walks or one-on-one time in the yard, we can certainly accommodate. Your pets are in charge here. I am one of those overly obsessive dog owners that allows the dog to sleep in bed with me and run my life...so if you are looking for your baby to be loved...I'm the right sitter for you.

Some things I like to learn ahead of time:

Is your dog up to date on vaccines/flea and tick treatment?

Is your dog friendly with other dogs?

Does your dog have any medical conditions or allergies?

Does your dog have any food/treat preferences? Diet?

Does your dog exhibit any sort of food aggression or destructive behavior?

Just so you know, I'm comfortable working with ALL breeds of dogs!

All clients are urged to be as honest as possible with any bad behaviors that their dog may have. I'm more than happy to accommodate the specific needs of your dogs, it will help me to prepare and prevent any incidents by knowing in advance.

When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs!!!

~Body ~ Mind & Soul~ ~This is a HUGE responsibility and I take it very SERIOUSLY~

During the meet and greet, I focus first on the psychology of the visiting dog and how they may feel about spending time with a strange dog(s) or perhaps a pack. During the 1st initial interactions, all aspects of comfort for the visiting dog are taken into consideration, size, age, personality of the dog, previous exposure to other dogs and the level of natural comfort displayed around other dogs.

I follow Cesar Millan's teachings and practice a calm assertive pack leadership. I have been a pet sitter for over 30 years. I am home 24/7 and I have full time help as well. My dogs are very well socialized and we make a trip to Jupiter Beach early each morning for an hour long walk and play time. In the afternoon a nice long walk in different areas of Juno and Jupiter. I have a large fenced in backyard, a pool, a true desire to provide a quality experience so that it is actually a treat for the dog when they do stay with us as opposed to a situation where your dog is just being cared for while you are not able to.

I DO REQUIRE A MEET & GREET prior to any dog staying with us. The purpose is dual in that the guest dog will feel a little more comfortable when initially "left w/ a stranger", as well as to showcase the environment.

Even if my calendar shows booked, contact me. Perhaps there is a dog leaving that day or I may be able to accommodate, depending on the circumstances.

I do charge for half days if you will be picking up after noon time, or if after 6:00p, a full day charge. Please contact me for a custom quote. No pick up's after 9:00p.

~All dogs over 7 months of age must be on prescription Flea & Tic medication year round~

DID YOU KNOW...?

The best shampoo you can use on your dog is baby shampoo or baby wash. It is inexpensive and will not wash all the protective oils out of your dogs coat. If you have a mostly inside dog, a bath once a month is sufficient. If your dog spends time outside each day and is out and about or spends time around other dogs on a regular basis they should be bathed every 10 to 14 days. This will help keep hair and dander to a minimum, as well as, help with allergies, hot spots and overall health. My favorite part is that it is a bonding experience too! Have you ever noticed that dogs LOVE to be dried off. If you read this all the way to the end then I want to let you know that I am willing to work with you on the price if it is out of range for you. I do not participate in the competitive aspect of this site. I strive to make a difference in each dogs life by sharing my knowledge of physcology and through caring for them with a focus on individual and unique needs of each dog. I want to be sure my focus is on long term, happy, clients.

Like you, I’m a huge animal lover. I grew up with animals (horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters), and for the past 25 years I’ve had at least three rescue pets in my home at a time. As a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to find trustworthy, reliable care for your family members. So why not book with someone who will treat your pet just like you do?

I’m a pet sitter, certified in animal CPR, certified animal massage therapist and reiki practitioner (energy healing). I can provide boarding or stay overnight in your home. Whatever your dog needs, I can accommodate their schedule. I am experienced with walking multiple dogs at once, I’ve worked with reactive dogs so I understand their challenges. If your dog has special needs, like IV fluids or medication administration, I can provide those services as well. I love being active, so I can keep your pup busy, whether we’re hitting the dog park, the beach or just strolling through the neighborhood. I own a 2.5 acre fenced property in Jupiter Farms complete with pool. If your pup likes to run or swim this is the place for them!

Your pet will be a family member to me. As I mentioned, I am extremely passionate about animals, I’m caring, and I love building trust with my clients (human and dog alike)! This is more than a business to me, it really is a calling, I am meant to take care of our four legged friends.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions, I can be available at short notice and I guarantee your dog will be well cared for.

I have always had dogs around me - since my first puppy I named "Lucky" when I was five. Now I have an adorable lab, Donnie, who is a constant source of fun and amusement! He gets along well with other dogs and loves to play and run with them in the backyard - He will definitely tire your pets out with play.

I am well versed in canine behaviour and you can be sure your pup will be a happy dog when you return to your home. I make my own dog treats - highly desirable beef jerky .... a wonderful training aid.

I am recently retired so your pup will always be supervised and will definitely not be bored, lonely or anxious while in my care.

I had a cocker spaniel for many years, Sammy, who eventually lost sight in both eyes due to glaucoma - then later she had a stroke which made her very unsteady as you can imagine. However Sammy, my other dogs and I got along just fine following her stroke till she peacefully passed away years later .... so if your pup is infirmed or injured in any way I believe I can handle him or her with tenderness and compassion.... just like little Sammy.

Pick up and drop off hours are:

Monday through Friday 7 AM to 7 PM, Saturday and Sunday 9 AM to 5 PM.

Holidays by appointment. Special arrangements are always available.

I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to love on your pets! I have been providing care for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles for over 15 years. I have experience with administering medicine and fluids to dogs. I have cared for elderly dogs for long periods of time. I have two cats I adopted that are my little loves. I have volunteered countless hours to big dog ranch rescue, Peggy Adams and others. Your pet will have the freedom to live in my house as if they were living in their own. They will receive lots of attention and walks throughout the day. I provide pictures and updates daily so you know everything happening with your pet. Your pet will love staying with my family I garantee it!
