Doggy Day Care in Ridge Wood Heights

“Teddy had a great time at Merve’s home with her puppy, Thor. Her home is ideal with a fenced area for the dogs to play. She sent pictures which showed the dogs having a great afternoon together. We will book again soon!”

“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

“Max had a great first stay with Stephany! He is an active beagle and he got plenty of exercise during his stay! We really appreciated the pictures and videos!”

“Delia and her husband are great! They have become family to Lucy dog and I. They take care of Lucy at a moments notice. If I could give her 10 🌟 I would.”

“Lisa and Matt are amazing people! Their love for animals is immense and instantly obvious. They are so warm-hearted, detail oriented, loving, and communicative. Our golden retriever has epilepsy and requires a special regimen of (a lot of) medication. They set alarms to ensure his medication was administered on time, provided updates about his behavior and food/water intake, sent pictures of him, and made us feel so at ease. It is hard to find and trust quality pet sitters in general, but especially when your fur baby has special needs. We would 1000% recommend Lisa and Matt to anyone looking for quality care. Leo can’t wait to go back and spend time with their family and pets 🐾🖤 thank you Lisa and Matt!”

“Karen has been amazing with my pups! I’m always so impressed with how responsive she is when I reach out to her. She also updates me with pictures and even videos on how they’re doing throughout the day. It was also really nice that she can bathe them and trim around their eyes between grooming appointments while pet sitting them. She keeps them healthy, safe, and entertained! I highly recommend Karen!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Since I was a teenager, I’ve provided dog-sitting services for friends and family, gaining valuable experience with everything from crate training to administering medication for pets with medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs with mobility challenges and understand the patience and compassion they require. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog needing extra support, I’m comfortable and confident in providing attentive care. As a retired teacher, I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. Being retired gives me the flexibility to fully dedicate time each day to caring for pets—whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playing, or simply offering companionship. I truly enjoy building routines that help pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. For client home sitting, I’m happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own surroundings, with a preference for homes located throughout the greater Sarasota area, including the islands. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving environment alongside my own friendly golden retriever and two healthy, well-socialized cats, so visiting pets must be comfortable with other animals. My home features a fenced-in backyard, perfect for play and exercise, in a quiet family neighborhood in the heart of Sarasota. For client home sitting, I’m happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own surroundings, with a preference for homes located throughout the greater Sarasota area, including the islands.

“Tiffany was so amazing! We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog for just a few hours so we could enjoy the beach. She responded right away saying she would be happy to take our dog for the day. Her property was so beautiful with a large fenced in area. Tiffany also text us updates throughout the day letting us know how he was doing. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be taking our dog back next time we visit. Thank you, Tiffany!”
