Doggy Day Care Rowena Gardens

“Have you heard of Ms. Rachel, the online personality that toddlers are obsessed with? Well, consider this Rachel to be the same. My 4 year old havapoo is obsessed with Rachel and we’ve only met her twice! I’ve never seen her so excited to see a Rover sitter, she’s truly at the same excitement as seeing her grandparents when I drop her off. Rachel has such an amazing intuition with dogs and can sense exactly how they’re feeling, and knows how to make them comfortable instantly. I have a very a sensitive dog who is a total lover but also needs a lot of playtime, and I’ve never trusted a sitter more than Rachel to read exactly how she’s feeling and what she needs. I’m only in Orlando for a month, and will continue to book Rachel as often as I can!! Her energy and personality will fit with any dog.”

“Today was my girls first day spending with Ivanka and her 2 pups. It appears she had a great time playing! Thank you Ivanka for taking such good care of Willow 😊”

“Sara took great care of our pup, Cleo! Cleo came home happy and relaxed from her recent day care stay, and Sara kept us updated with photos and messages. Highly recommend Sara for anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog-sitter.”

“Took such great care of little Miss Fancy Pants that the next time I dropped her off she ran up and jumped on him (and dobermans are very selective in who they like).”

“Leda was wonderful with our pup, Luna. She let us know how she was doing throughout the day. Leda cared so much for Luna and we really appreciated her honesty when she notified us when she felt Luna was showing signs of missing us later in the day. I have to say, Luna is not used to being without us and it was the first time we had left her for so long, so it was somewhat expected that this would happen. Anyway, Leda’s honesty helped us feel good that we left her in good hands.”

About: I've been pet-sitting for friends, family, and referrals for the past 10 years. Yorkies, Doodles, Dachshunds, and other mixed breed dogs, cats, and birds. I love caring for pets, especially cats and dogs and keeping them on their routines, feeling safe and loved while their owners are away. I've cared for senior dogs and have administered medications to both cats and dogs. I love taking dogs for their walks ...I personally walk 3+ miles every day and will gladly sit for dogs who love a good, long walk. I typically do overnight stays from 2 nights to 6 weeks. I am now accepting dogs, one at a time, for day sits in my home. I have a big fenced in yard and currently no pets. As a writer and yoga teacher I work from home and have lots of time to play with, walk and provide lots of loving attention to your pets. I do not currently have a pet. I used to have cats and I love all pets. I have a fenced in back yard. I typically pet sit in the pet's home when owners travel and am now offering daycare for one dog at a time in my home. I love to send pictures of the pets to their owners to let them know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: My husband and I live in SoDo next to Lake Davis which has a wonderful walking path, wildlife and lots of neighbors walking their own dogs. We have two mini dachshunds named porter and Barley, and we love our fur children. We have a big, fenced-in backyard for zoomies. Barley is the co-founder of Dachshunds of Orlando meet up group every 1st Sat and 3rd Sun of the month at Lake Druid Dog Park. Find us on Facebook! Barley prefers to hang out with small dogs like himself but is good with all people and dogs. We would love to watch Dachshunds. If your dog stays with us we will take extra precaution to make sure they have their own private space when left alone.

“Lesia is simply awesome, and she was just that with my fur babies. My Benson and Bella were comfortable with her. I appreciate her professional demeanor and her detailed reporting of all that took place during the stay at doggy day care. I look forward to working with Lesia again!”

About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I truly love animals and always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, feeding, walks, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available throughout the week and on weekends for boarding and daycare. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending my time playing, caring for, and giving lots of love to every pup. 🐾❤️ I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions and pay close attention to their dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs. I supervise the dogs in my care, provide plenty of playtime and attention, and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while away from home. 🐶❤️

“Very caring and lots of photos. I would use her again!”

“I highly recommend Patama. I have a high energy Corgi with a bit of an attitude. He is usually a picky eater, and it’s very hard to tire him out. After spending a day with Patama, he came home tired and actually ate all of his food. I received photos of him throughout the day, and I could tell he was having a great time. I can honestly say he enjoyed his day. Thank you, Patama!”

“Natasha has helped me many times last minute and so flexible with my pickup time as I never know when I’ll get off work. Thanks again Natasha!”

About: I got my first dog when I was in 6th grade and he was a shitzu. He was the calmest dog I ever had and people told me he kind of resembled me. That was 14 years ago and I have learned a lot of patience, love, and care throughout that time. After he passed 6 years ago, I’ve continued to love animals through fostering (longest was 2 months) and dog sitting both short term and long term. While your pet stays in my home overnight, I will give all my attention to whatever needs they have. I will play with your dog as if they were my own because that is how much I I love them. My special skill is that I am patient with pretty much everything I do so when it comes to your pets, I will keep a cool head when things get “hairy”. I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to give them attention and company. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking trails that will be perfect to explore! I try my best to treat all pets as if they were my own. I also don’t mind if they snuggle next to me on the bed or if they want to relax on the couch.

“Kristie is incredibly accommodating and kind. My pup was immediately excited to spend the day with her and I could tell he had a great day when I picked him up in the evening. Don’t hesitate to book with Kristie! She’ll keep you updated and take great care of your pets.”

“Justin is wonderful! Mars had a great time and was comfortable and happy to be around both Justin and Harley. I wouldnt have anyone else watch him for us!”

About: Beginning in childhood, I’ve had several dog breeds (over 20!) that I’ve been tasked to take care of, play with, keep healthy and whose needs I’ve grown to pay attention to and understand. I adore animals and I approach them gently and mindfully, always considering what support will help prolong their lifespan and keep them happy, yet trained and behaved. My friends and family often call on me to either keep their pets company, train or housesit them, and I’m always more than happy to spend time with their animals. I firmly believe pets are not toys, and much more like our own kids, deserving of care, compassion, joy and attention. I have 17+ years experience taking care of and loving French bulldogs and pugs, who notoriously require extra responsibility, attention and instruction, as they can be stubborn and prone to health and breathing issues (often brought on by heat). I have cared for senior dogs who deserve nothing but love towards the end of their lives, and also puppies who need time spent on training and feeling safe, and lots of play and activity to stimulate their growing minds. I am a graduate student, with flexible availability between Saturday to Tuesday, during my off days, when I’ll be studying from home, often lounging and relaxing in my space. Having a pet to look after, feed and care for would not only be a very welcomed time commitment, but would make my space feel even more homely and bring me joy. I have enough time to play with dogs, pay attention to their unique needs and keep them active and joyful, or to simply accompany them while they rest and rejuvenate. I have a spacious apartment and a shaded dog park within my apartment community, as well as a dog wash corner next to the park - helpful during hot days in Florida. I am extremely mindful towards any pet staying with me, and provide them with a comfortable, safe and cooled space, in which I am committed to staying aware of their habits, likes and dislikes, and learning to understand their groove. There are several areas for them to use the bathroom outside, take a walk within the apartment community, as well as designated pee pads inside the apartment. I am happy to be in touch with the clients as often as needed, to help them feel at ease about letting their little one stay with someone new. I care about building trust with a dog, and taking the time to grow our bond, so they can be at ease in their surroundings and reduce any anxiety from a new environment.

“My dog Vinny always gets excited when I drop him off”

“Absolutely terrific! The whole process was extremely easy. Sending pictures of our doggies and seeing how happy and relaxed they were brought so much ease to my mind. This was our first time ever using a pet sitter and we will be using Barb for all future dog sitting needs!”

“April was absolutely amazing! this was our first time ever leaving our little girl with anyone and i was so scared, but April took all my worries away. from pictures to constant messages all day, we knew our little girl was in good hands and loving her time at her house. definitely will use her again without a doubt.”
