Pet Boarding The Villages

About: I'm a retired software developer living in The Villages. I was a pet sitter with a former partner for many years and I've started doing it again now that I have more free time. I love spending time with animals, primarily dogs. We currently have an 8-year-old Boston Terrier and we have had Boxers in the past. Our own dogs are the focus of my attention first thing in the morning and your pets would be a part of our pack. Their schedule is my schedule. We have a large backyard that is completely fenced in, so plenty of space to run and play. We always separate the dogs during feeding time, regardless of their disposition and behavioral history. They also enjoy "pack walks" in a very dog friendly neighborhood here in The Villages.

“Our pup Albert had a wonderful time. She kept us updated the whole time with photos and videos of the fun he was having. Will definitely use her services again. Thank you :)”

About: I've had dogs for over 60 years. All my dogs have lived long and happy lives. Animals are the best creation by God! I have a heart for all animals but I truly love dogs. I want to help others by being the best caregiver out there to leave their fur babies with. I'm picky and understand the need of someone you can trust while you are away. Boarding in a kennel is not an option for me and I understand safety is paramount along with quality care. I have a Shit-zu and a Chihuahua whom both are my life and my husband always says: If he was a to come back in another life as a dog, he wants to come to my house! Best description I can think of for what they mean to me and the care they receive.

“Loved, loved, loved the care of my pet, the closeness to my house, the neighborhood. Everything was just perfect!! So happy with the whole process.”

“I used Cyndi to watch my Frenchie tank this past weekend. I was nervous to let someone I didn't know watch my baby but after our first meeting I felt completely comfortable with her and her family. Tank had a wonderful time! Cyndi sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend and I felt totally comfortable that he was in good hands. I will definitely hire Cyndy again for tank. I highly recommend.”

About: I work remotely, so pets get consistent supervision and companionship all day. I’m experienced with young pets who need structure and senior pets who need a calm, attentive environment. I focus on safety, routine, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Working from home makes it easy for me to give pets lots of attention and structure. I take short breaks during the day for walks, playtime, and cuddles, and I keep their feeding and bathroom schedule consistent. Since I’m home all week, I can care for your pet M-F from 9:30 am to 5 pm. I have a huge backyard so you precious pet can have so fun and play outside. You can trust me since I have taken very good care of my own pets, a dog and a hamster. My neighborhood is a very safe place, so you don't have to worry about your furry friend while you are away.

“Kacey was absolutely wonderful! She sent me pictures or videos of my beloved dog having a blast. He was well exercised and loved. He was very excited to see me return and wasn’t anxious to leave right away. I could tell he felt completely at home. Kacey responded quickly and went above and beyond to take care of my pup. I really could t be more pleased and will definitely be a returning customer!”

Debbie F.

“We had a unusual back to back last minute two bookings with some days home in between. Showed us a tour of the place at drop off. They treated our dog like it was their own. Our dog even had their own vacation. Went for walks, swam in the pool, played with their dogs. They have a huge yard and lots of space for a dog to be a dog. Kept in contact with pics and videos. Our dog was just so happy and living their best life. I would without a doubt, use them in the future. They are kind and caring, Viviana truly loves them. And they will be our dog’s home away from home.”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including currently taking care of two kittens of my own. I truly see pets as family and always care for other pets the same way I would care for my own. I’m very attentive to animals’ behaviors and needs, whether they’re bored, tired, dehydrated, stressed, sick, or just needing attention and playtime. I have experience watching multiple dogs at once and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I always do my best to provide a caring and reliable environment. Regarding boarding overnight and caring for throughout the day at my place: I live in a villa with a dog park in the neighborhood, a patio, and a fenced field in the back yard. I currently have a flexible schedule with a part time job, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for and checking in on pets throughout the day. I make sure cats get attention, playtime, clean food and water, litter box care or walks, and a comfortable environment while their owners are away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and always try to follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and wellbeing. I pay close attention to cats’ behavior and can usually tell when they’re stressed, sick, dehydrated, tired, playful, or needing space. I keep a calm and clean environment and make sure pets have fresh water, food, attention, and a safe place to rest. I also have experience caring for kittens, senior cats, and cats needing extra patience or medication. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while away.

“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”

“Lauren welcomed Cooper into her home as though he was her own. He stayed two full weeks with Lauren and her family and she updated us daily with photos and an activity list. Cooper was thrilled to be cared for so lovingly as illustrated by the fact that he wasn’t diving into our vehicle when we arrived. Also, he’s crashing this minute, so we know he was busy having fun. Anyone would be fortunate to have Lauren care for their pet.”

“Debra is amazing with my little old lady chihuahua. I don’t trust anyone else to keep her while I’m away. She loves her well, takes great care of her & she even takes her everywhere she goes! I only book Debra!! 🤩”
