Ruth did an incredible job, she watched our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks and she gave us peace of mind the entire trip! She sent lots of pictures for each visit, and really spent her time hanging out with our cats☺️ She took care of everything we asked and was so communicative the entire time. Would highly recommend to watch your fur babies!

Karli was a God send! She came over to met Melo before beginning services. She was at my home at the agreed upon times and stayed with him for the duration allotted. Karli provided updates and pictures. I will definitely use her again!

Thank you SO much! We appreciate you!! She had an accident right before we left, I just wiped it up because we had to leave. 🥹 I think she had too many treats yesterday... we will call when we need you again if you two got along, looks like you did! 🥰

Christa is amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took wonderful care of our babies. We had a bad experience with local boarding, and wanted our kids to stay in the comfort of our home. Lots of treats and love around here. Our pets are old, so they do need special attention. Christa gave them that. Thank you so much!

About: Looking for a place where your dog will be cared for like family while you're away? You've found it! We provide home-based dog boarding in a calm, secure, and loving environment—where tails wag, routines are respected, and your pup gets the attention they deserve, 24/7. We're a husband-and-wife team living in a quiet gated community, with plenty of space, supervision, and love to give. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 About Us Hi! We’re Q and Eric, and we run our dog boarding business right from our home. With a friendly 7-year-old corgi named Stitch and a sweet, curious 1-year-old toddler, our house is full of life, love, and laughter. We only take a small number of dogs at a time, so every pup gets personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. Eric works from home full-time, so there’s always an adult present with the dogs—no crates, no long hours alone, just round-the-clock care and company. I am a nurse who works every other weekend. During the week, I’m home and hands-on, helping with feeding, routines, special care, and keeping you updated with adorable pics and videos. Our corgi is calm, well-socialized, and used to sharing his space—he’s the perfect host dog for helping new pups settle in. 🐶 What We Offer: 24/7 supervision—your dog is never left alone Boarding in a quiet gated community with safe, enclosed spaces Only a few dogs at a time for low-stress, personalized care Comfortable, dog-friendly home with room to roam Daily routines including walks, playtime, nap breaks, and cuddles Special attention for senior dogs, medications, or unique needs Real-time photo and video updates A family environment with gentle toddler socialization (only if your dog is toddler-friendly!) Whether your pup loves to play, lounge, or snuggle—we'll match their energy and make them feel right at home. Dogs that stay with us are let out in our fenced backyard every 2-4 hours a day, with daily walks 2-3x a day. And of course unlimited belly rubs! We have a fenced backyard the fur-babies can roam around in. We send daily updates to you whether it be photos or videos multiple times a day. Everyone will be under strict supervision—even the human child!

About: I have been dog sitting since I was a kid and still love to help out friends, family and neighbors when available and when needed. I currently work a standard 9-5 on weekdays so I’m available outside those hours during the week. I am also available most weekends! I’ll try to be as flexible as I can to fit into your routine! I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I walk my dog on a small loop but can take yours further for more exercise if needed.

Heather has been a phenomenal caretaker. Going above and beyond to take care of my cat and even check in on my other pets despite it not being a requirement. From the moment of our meet and greet, Heather has asked questions so she could ensure my pets were at their at-most comfortability while we were away. She gave thorough reports and photos so we were always aware of how our pets were doing and anything abnormal she encountered. I feel good knowing that anytime I need to go out of town in the future, I can look to Heather to take care of my animals.

About: I have experience with many different types of pets like dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, bunnies, pigs & ferrets (just to name a few). I’ve had dogs my entire life and have two years of professional experience working in a dog daycare creating an understanding of dog behaviors. I strive to make every experience as comfortable and enjoyable for your fur babies! I have met so many dogs with different temperaments and needs to create a positive experience while in my care. I volunteer with the local shelter and take out foster dogs all the time and I love advocating for them too! I am so passionate about animal welfare and ensuring pet parents have someone they can trust to take care of their precious babies. I am currently a full time college student with full weekend availability but Monday-Thursday I am usually out of the house during the day 7-4:30 while Fridays I have a half day of classes, if this something that is okay with you. I will do my best to fit your needs. Please send me a message and we can work something out! I am a very patient person with animals and able to understand their body language to adjust based on their specific needs. I would love to keep your baby company with some hugs and kisses or respect their space in the same room! I have experience working with lots of different kinds of temperaments and can adjust my care based on makes you and your fur baby the most comfortable!

About: I've taken care of many dogs since I was young, and I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. I am very used to their quirkiness and different behaviors! I am very willing to work with many types of dogs regardless of breed, as I absolutely adore doggos! I am patient and caring, and open to slow introductions in case pets are skiddish or timid. Overall, I absolutely love being around dogs/puppies, and I am able to work with anybody! I am currently an employed college student on summer break, but I’d love to make time on the weekends or weekday evenings to walk your dogs! Because of how hot Florida can get, I’d be comfortable walking your dogs in the morning (6:30-10:00 am) or in the evening (5:00-8:30 pm) when it is still somewhat cool (I don’t want to risk your dog overheating). I will dedicate as much time as I can to take care of your animals. I can definitely make time for walks or drop-ins if needed, so there should be no issues with scheduling! I will make my schedule well-known to anybody who books with me! At my client's home, I will do anything they ask of me regarding their dog. I can crate, play with, and watch them closely if needed! I will be very attending towards your animal(s). While walking your dogs, I will make sure they don't overheat and walk a good amount. Regarding drop-in visits, I can make them as short or long as wanted! It can be a quick visit, or I can stay for a while to make sure they eat and play!

About: Growing up in a home full of animals and with my parents being veterinarians, I truly believe that our pets are not just pets, they are family. You can rest assured that with my experience caring for my own family's pets, shadowing at my parents' vet practice on my pre-vet path, and with my master's degree in animal behavior your four-legged family will be safe and comfortable under my care. I am currently in between work after finishing graduate school, so my schedule is very flexible to give your pets the care and attention they need. It’s easy to worry about our pets when they’re out of our sight. Under my care, you can rest easy knowing that with my knowledge of animal health and behavior from my education and shadowing experience at a veterinary practice, I keep a keen eye out for any health or behavioral issues which may be affecting the comfort of your pets.

Deborah was absolutely fantastic! My cat is a new rescue and is incredibly shy and wary of people but Deborah took exceptional care of her and it was such a delight to hear about how my cat was coming out of her shell more and more! I was nervous about leaving as this is my first time being a cat mom but Deborah answered all of my questions and always communicated brilliantly. It was so lovey to be able to see photos everyday and get updates on how my cat was eating and getting on. I would highly recommend Deborah and will definitely be using her again for any future travel!
