About: 🔥 First time booking with Rover? You can use the code MELISF68291 to book your first Rover stay with us and receive $20 off from Rover (Add the code when booking). --- 👉 A quick update: There have been some definite changes in our world and what has taken a long time getting to this point has now moved really fast. • The original farm has been sold to developers and they are going to turn the farm into condos. And what has taken months is now here. • After much discussion, we decided to find a temporary place for about a year while we are looking for land to build on. For now, we have found a cute mini farm of about 3 acres in the Englewood area to rent while we're looking. • Dear Rover Clients: We are going to provide limited pickup & drop-off services as a courtesy for our Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, and Bradenton area clients. We can either pick up your pup at your house or meet together at the Bob Evans on Fruitville Rd across from the Lowe's in order to save you a drive. If you're headed south on I-75 for your trip, then we can arrange a meeting place down this way as well, if that works. • Your pup is absolutely welcome here and will obviously receive great care and lots of love while staying with us. PS: With an astounding 630+ stays booked, our availability goes fast. 😊 Please book early, if possible. With deepest respect and gratitude, Melissa and Scott --- ✓ About Us: We have years of experience with dogs and cats through all stages of their life and have had pets our entire lives. Scott and I truly enjoy taking care of them. We have also successfully rescued many animals over the years ranging from dogs to horses. I work my own schedule as a BSN RN so I'm very open with availability during the week and weekend. My husband is also available and helps with our pet guests. We live on 3 acres with several large fenced areas for pets to play. We're with the pets through the day and always provide regular potty breaks. Our property has several areas for play for dogs with great recall, fenced areas for dogs without good recall, and secure fencing surrounding our 3 acre property for safety. There are lots of access to automatic doggie water fountains inside and out. When our pet guests aren't outside playing (always supervised), they stay and sleep indoors which is especially important here in Florida. ✓ AVAILABILITY We're very open with availability during the week and on weekends and we're normally both at home! We schedule by appointment but we'll accept same day requests if we're available. ✓ DAYCARE STAYS For Daycare stays, we are available by appointment only between 8:30am - 5:30pm for drop-off and pickup times. If you need dropoff or pickup times outside those hours, please discuss your needs with us. After 7pm, Daycare Stays become Overnight Stays unless there's a prior arrangement with us. ✓ SPECIAL NEEDS We've been able to accommodate special requests for clients many times so don't hesitate to discuss your pet's needs with us. We'll provide a safe "home away from home" for your furry loved ones. • Large dogs, strong-willed dogs, show dogs, senior dogs, small dogs, and dogs with medical needs are all welcome! • Just be sure to completely update us on your pets so we can care for them properly. ✓ MEET & GREETS: We would LOVE to meet your pets!! However, because of a stalker situation that occurred, we no longer allow strangers/Rovers inside our home. We would love to meet with you outside at our home and you can always view pictures of our clients online. We will also send you pictures of your pet(s) while they are visiting with us. But, for our FAMILY'S SAFETY and peace-of-mind, we ask everyone to respect the privacy of our family's home. If this is a deal-breaker for you, we respectfully suggest that you explore other pet sitters or have us take care of your pets on a drop-in basis at your home. ✓ The Farm: Our property has several areas for play for dogs on our 3 acre farm. There is lots of access to automatic doggie water fountains inside and out. Our Rover guests stay indoors in the a/c which is especially important when the heat is too much outside.

“Shari took excellent care of my two kitties when I had a last minute trip to take. She was on time and sent adorable photos during her visits. The ex-feral even came out to meet her which says a lot about her great kitty energy. I felt confident that they were safe in her care. It's clear she loves animals. Will be asking for Shari's help in the future!”

“First of all my thanks for caring for my very spoiled cat-boy. He was happy and well groomed. Thank you for that. Gretchen made certain to attend to details and took great care of Biggie when we went on a cruise. She even left a note about his sneezing. Not unusual for him and I’ll take him again to be checked out. Absolutely wonderful care and no doubt she loves animals with all her heart.”

19. Xaviera S.
About: My name is Xaviera (most people just call me X). I’ve had pets and cared for pets for over 30 yrs. Dogs come first in my home. I have a 3 legged Yorkiepoo who will be 2 on November 11 and a Frenchton who just turned 3. I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly apt complex with a dog park right out front. I also have a patio which is perfect for dogs to sunbathe in. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them at our doggie wash station. I have experience working with disabled pets and am experience with medication, I am also known to make homemade dog treats (just let me know if there is any diet restrictions or allergies). I also do have access to military bases if needed. Let your dog be spoiled by me! I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! I can also provide extended care. I also have military base access. I live in an apartment with the dog park right outside, so lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my pets. They are very social and loves to have company, friendly to other dogs and shares toys, treats, and patio for sun bathing with mom’s supervision.
