Doggy Day Care in Pompano Beach Highlands

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life - from a Dalmatian and Collie to rescue mutts. And even though I don’t currently have a permanent pup of my own, caring for dogs continues to be a big part of my life through sitting for friends, neighbors, and volunteering with local rescues. What sets me apart is the amount of time, patience, and attention I’m able to give. I work from home, which means your dog isn’t left alone all day and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, companionship, and a calm, consistent routine. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including: - Puppies or younger dogs (supporting training and routines—ideally with house training already underway) - Senior dogs, including those who need extra patience, slower walks, or special care - Dogs who require oral medications, which I’ve administered for past pets I’m also comfortable with crate-trained and non–crate-trained dogs, and I don’t expect perfect leash manners. I’m patient and happy to reinforce basic walking habits when needed. Above all, I strive to create a safe, cozy, low-stress environment where dogs feel cared for, understood, and at home, whether that means extra cuddles, calm companionship, or simply respecting their space. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to prioritize your dog’s needs throughout the day rather than squeezing care into limited windows. Dogs staying with me enjoy: Frequent potty breaks throughout the day Longer walks in the mornings and evenings Plenty of attention, companionship, and downtime in a calm household At night, dogs can sleep in my bedroom, nearby, or in a crate—whatever they’re most comfortable with. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I am willing to host up to three dogs at a time, always ensuring that the dynamic is comfortable for everyone. Feeding times and nighttime routines can easily be separated into individual, safe spaces if needed. **If you prefer your dog to be the only pet during their stay, I’m very open to that as long as no other dogs are already booked. I live in a quiet townhouse within a gated, dog-friendly community. While I don’t have a fenced yard, there is green space in both front and back for potty breaks and a safe neighborhood for walks. Because of the home layout, dogs 60 lbs and under tend to be the best fit, and dogs that require constant outdoor running may be happier in a different environment. My home is: Calm, quiet, and child-free Well-suited for dogs who enjoy structure, routine, and companionship Designed to prioritize safety, comfort, and supervision Dogs may occasionally be left alone for up to four hours, but this is always discussed with the owner in advance. For everyone’s safety, I ask that dogs be: - Fully vaccinated - On flea/tick prevention - Free from any history of biting or aggression (they don’t need to love other dogs—just safely coexist) I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates, whether that’s daily or more often, whatever helps you feel at ease while you’re away. I also welcome meet & greets so we can make sure it’s a great fit for both you and your pup.

About: Hi! I'm Charla T- and I'm so excited to meet you and your pet! I have much experience taking care of dogs & cats - either our own or sitting for other people. I also have two college-age daughters who also love to play with dogs & cats and will help me take care of your pet. Your pet will get lots of love and attention while you're away. I work from home so your pet will not be left alone for long periods of time. Your pet will receive a lot of individualized attention. Some sitters on this site have other jobs away from their homes and may leave your animal alone for long periods of time, so be sure to ask before booking with them! We enjoy taking dogs on walks and will even give your dog a bath if you would like us to. We have one pet in our home, a mini golden doodle, who is playful, friendly and submissive. If your dog likes to play, she’s happy to play as well. But if your dog isn’t interested, then ours will find something else to do, lol. I look forward to hearing from you and having your pet as our special guest! Fortunately, I work from home so your dog will always have a companion. Plus I will enjoy their company too while we relax on the couch or go for a walk. You dog will feel right at home here. We would give them the attention they want and let them relax with us on the couch.

“Thank you Julianne! You saved the day! Bentley was just spayed and her sitter was unable to take her at the last minute. You stepped in and gave Bentley such care when she was in great discomfort. I really appreciate how well you took care of her!”

About: Hi! I’m Sharon! I'm a retired mom and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for everything from reptiles to rodents to cats and dogs of my own. While I don’t currently have pets, I stay busy helping with my daughters’ three Australian Shepherds, as she travels often so I’m very familiar with energetic pups and structured routines. I offer drop in visits, walks and pet boarding, giving pets exercise, playtime, and affection while you're away. I strength train regularly and enjoy staying active with animals, so large dogs are no problem. Busy with a full time job and need someone to stop in? No problem. Traveling and want a trusted check in throughout the day or night? I’ve got you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a mid day walk, or just some company and playtime while you're away, I’m here to help. I’m flexible. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. Heading out on a special work trip or vacation? No worries. I offer overnight pet care to give you peace of mind while you're away. Your pet will stay safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I make sure that their routines are followed, they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. You can relax, knowing your furry friend is in good hands - almost like a vacation for them too! I pride myself on being very respectful of others’ homes and treat each pet like they’re my own.

However many times you need a check in, as long as it is not too far, I don't mind stopping by. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I follow their routine closely whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or giving meds, and I always respect the home as if it were my own. I clean up after pets, double check that everything’s secure before I leave, and send updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!

About: I love all animals and create great connections with them! I believe animals are the friendliest friends we can make, and they deserve to be happy, healthy, and protected! I've taken care of my own pets throughout my life, and have pet-sitted for neighbors, family, friends, and co-workers. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including exotic animals. No professional experience in training, but I have trained my dogs in the past with patience and persistence while making sure they are encouraged and rewarded! You can guarantee that your fur baby will have a great friend like me to hang with while you're gone! **For those in the Crystal Lake area in Pompano Beach (near Sample Rd and Military Trail), please message me and I can offer you a discounted rate for Drop-Ins and Dog Walks** I'm a homemaker and sometimes do part time work, so most of my time is open to hang with your lovely pet(s)! I strive to create a calm, nurturing space for every animal in my care. Because I dedicate my full attention to each pet, I kindly ask for a day’s notice when booking. If something comes up unexpectedly, I can often still help — last-minute bookings just include an additional fee to account for the quick turnaround. Feel free to message me with any questions! At home, I care for my senior bunny and a crested gecko with much love, quality time, and many activites. You can expect me to do the same for your pets as well! My preference when caring for dogs is to wipe them down when coming from outside (walks, potty breaks, etc), so that they stay clean—so, please let me know if they are paw-sensitive or have any other sensitivities.
