Doggy Day Care Rowena Gardens

“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 😊”

“Cristal was so amazing. She took care of my standard poodle, Wiles. She let him play in their big backyard. She sent updated videos and pictures. I came from out of town to visit family and wanted to have a place for him to stay all day. She took such good care of Wiles that I did not worry at all while I was with my family all day. Wiles had the best time and kept giving her hugs when he had to leave. I would highly recommend Cristal to keep your dog. I give her five stars. She was fantastic and now when I come to visit my family, I will have her keep Wiles again.”

“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.”

“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Luna. I felt so good about leaving my deaf dog with her. She kept me updated throughout the day. I will definitely have Luna come back to see Rachel again!”

“Kristie was PHENOMENAL. Our gentle giant Orion was being a bit of a stage 5 clinger when I first dropped him off, but she had the confidence and skills to help turn his attitude around and provided a great daycare with multiple trips to the dog park. He said 5 paws, would book here again!!”

“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.”

“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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up around dogs my whole life! Growing up, my family had three dogs and we also regularly fostered, so I’ve been around all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and routines from a young age. Now, I pet sit frequently! I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! Whether it’s long walks, throwing a ball, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I always want pets to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine! I’m also very reliable and communicative, and I understand how important it is to fully trust the person caring for your pet. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, check ins, etc! I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine/ I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away! I’m very patient and attentive, and I know every pet has a different personality and routine. I’m also happy to send photo updates throughout the day!

“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!”

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

“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.

“Tanya was great! Took excellent care of Jazmine. Would use her again and again.”

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.

“Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Max, Laila, and Simba today! We had such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We highly recommend you and appreciate your help so much!”

“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!”

“Emre and Karina took great care of our fur baby Coco. They were very responsive and sent us lots of pictures. Would definitely book with them again ?”

“Natasha was very communicative. She sent me photos throughout the day of Sunny which truly put me at ease. I will definitely be using her again!”

“I’m so thankful that they were able to watch our Chewy, as it was last minute. Chewy seemed to enjoy his time, and was fond of April and her husband at pick up and drop off.”
