Hello and thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I started with ROVER in 2016 and simply LOVE what I do!! First and foremost, I am an extreme animal lover and have had many, many pets in my lifetime. I have cared for all different types of animals big and small since I was 12 years old (47 yrs.) I have been a mommy to small furry mice all the way up to an "Off Track Thoroughbred" dapple gray horse name Stella, who belongs to my daughter Zoë but I love her just the same! I am the candy, apple, carrot lady at the barn.

I also love birding and have been feeding many species of birds in my backyard for over 3 years now, and enjoy spending time photographing them. My husband always says that I care for the animals more than I care for him. Sometimes that is probably true but not intentional :)

I have recently moved into the Venice FL area in August of 2018 and have been in "away mode" but I am ready to start again here in the Sunshine State. I am starting back slowly, therefor I will only be providing "walks" and "drop-ins" until I have made my home a bit more "puppy- proof", hopefully by June of 2019.

I take great pride in caring for your fur baby just as I would my own. I have looked after and cared for friends and families pets in their absence as well. I am kind hearted, playful, reliable, responsible and very well organized. (Please take a quick look at my client reviews)

I will send texts and pictures, if you wish, to let you know just how much fun they are having. Your fur baby will love being with me because I truly love and care for animals.

I love all animals but dogs are at the top of my list. You just can't have better company and enjoy the unconditional love that they give. I can promise your baby will be the center of attention and receive a lot of affection. You can see many pictures and all the breeds I have had if you check my Facebook page @ Park your paws at Pampered Pooch Inn. I will provide you with daily pictures of your baby enjoying their time at the Inn. We have a fenced yard, a pool, a park like setting in the lot we own behind our home along with comfortable furniture that they are welcome to use. They will receive plenty of love while spending time with us. I will look forward to sharing my time with your special loved ones and look forward to meeting all of you. You can see more pictures of my guests enjoying the Inn on my Facebook page, Park your Paws at Pampered Pooch Inn. Please check it out and enjoy! Please also take a minute to read some of my reviews.

I Treat my guest dogs like members of my family.I Always had dogs around. When my last pair (rotweiller and Labrador) passed away, we (with my husband) still wanted to have dogs in our lives. Caring for dogs and helping other people that way is the best thing. We are both retired, have a lot of time for walks and play. I am in contact with "parents", send the updates and pictures. Sometimes I even let dog sleep in my bed, Can refuse those eyes ! My clients are happy, they can swim in the pool, of course, with their owners permission. They can run in our fenced yard, fetching ball or frisbee. I do not accept more then two dogs at the time., I might make an exception if they are brother and sisters. I do not want to have a kennel, just family home with pups.

I have had boarder collies for 20 years and I work from home. We swim and work by the pool all morning, go on walks around the neighborhood to dry off, take a nap then visit the dog park every evening and usually visit with friends that have dogs every night. That is our day, every day. My dog is well trained, very calm and loves everything. I’m looking forward to having your dog around for a play date with my dog so they can be entertained while I’m busy around the house. There is also a 15 year old cocker spaniel named Simon and a 4 year old dachshund named Lucy that stay with us, I’m watching them for a friend and they love everything also.

My home is very calm and peaceful with no other animals or children in the household to create unnecessary stress on your fur baby. I also only take 1 booking at a time so you won't have to worry about any issues with other animals. I think they already have enough to worry about being left at a strangers home when you leave to go out of town. I work from home so I will always be here to give them my undivided attention. I also live on a quite street that is perfect for long walks around the block. I recently had to put my Maltese, Kali, down and I miss having a little life in the house and I think pet sitting will be the perfect fit for me. I know one of the biggest challenges I always faced was trying to find someone who was trustworthy with my dog while I was gone. I always worried if they were in good hands and it was nerve-racking when I was so far away home. It would give me pleasure to know that I might be able to give another pet owners a little piece of mind when they need to travel and I only take one booking at a time. Please Note: additional fees: $10 for early drop off (before 7 am) and $10 for late pickups (After 6 pm). $15 per day for special need dogs.

Always there to love them, understand their needs. Giving them my full attention to play walk rest groom. I’ve raised many dogs all breeds and given each my whole heart. Friends jokingly call me the dog whisperer. I feel I’m overqualified with the care of animals. I’ve cared for those with special needs as in hearing seeing problems also after surgical procedures such as orthopedic etc. Ease with administering any Meds needed and treatment needed. Animals sense my caring and love for them and therefore are very comfortable and happy with me. I understand the sad and scared feelings they undergo when separated from their owners, their loved ones. Also having to bear unfamiliar surroundings along with possibly feeling abandoned. I insure that they don’t and do my best to make them happy feeling loved and wanted. My home becomes theirs for that time

It's hard for me to explain the pleasure and joy I receive from giving warm and loving attention to animals. The care and attention they will receive will enable you to have a worry-free time away from your pet knowing they are in good hands. I have sat for Prince Charles, Great Pyrenees, Silkies, Maltees and Yorkies, birds and more.

I would be honored to be given the opportunity to care for and pamper your pets in my home and shower them with love and kindness as though they were my own. I believe the key to a successful sitting relationship is having a dependable and trustworthy person, and that you will have in me. I will be glad to provide a background check and or references for your assurance. I can take care of small pets only
