Dog Boarding in Wesley Chapel

Your pup will enjoy a cage free vacation with us!

We like to think of Corso Jim's Puppy Ranch as summer camp for pups with a home environment. Many of the big box boarding facilities have kennels or small rooms where the pups stay, with very little outdoor area to play in. Not at Corso Jim's. The goal at Corso Jim's is to provide a home away from home for your four legged family members. With a lot of swimming, fetching, playing and socializing thrown in.

Our home is situated on one acre of land with three large fenced in playgrounds. In addition, we have a 3000 sq ft separate building on the property which serves as the main pup house. Dogs spend their days playing, and socializing, and they sleep in the house with us at night.

Animals are our absolute passion. Our four legged friends have been a huge part of our family and our love for them has grown over the years. We have four dogs who are very loved and well take care of, from making sure they get plenty of love and affection, enough exercise, a clean environment and a healthy diet; they get everything they need for a happy life. Family and friends always bring their pups here when they visit and they stay with us when they need a dependable, responsible pet sitter. Swimming, fetching and having plenty of room for exercise...we have everything your four legged family member could want for a fun filled, safe stay with us!

We take 12-15 guests (more on holidays). So if your pup loves to be around many friends, he/she will thrive here.

Meet our pets:

Corso Jim,11 yr old yellow lab, 104 lbs. Alpha dog, very smart, affectionate and loyal. This boy loves to swim and fetch and play with Sheeba. And he has a very loud bark which he utilizes quite effectively when he wants something (like to go swimming, to eat or wants snacks).

Paulie, 6 yr old chocolate lab, 95 lbs. Extremely sweet and affectionate. He's the biggest swimmer and fetcher of them all! Loves being outside, especially when it's cool weather. So much so that it's hard to get him to come inside.

Sheeba, 3 yr old Flat Coated Retriever, 65 lbs. Beautiful black shiny coat for this beautiful girl. She loves getting in all kinds of mischief and certainly keeps us on our toes. She will eat pretty much anything that will fit (or not) in her mouth. Loves to play all day and very energetic, affectionate and loving.

Martini, 8 yr old, Weinaraner, 71 lbs. Very smart, energetic and loves to talk. Very affectionate and craves attention. He's a sweetheart for sure.

We Moved!!!! We have over an acre lot and we have almost a full acre that we just fenced in for all the pups to have plenty of space to run and let lose. We will be updating more photos of the new place as we finish each project. Thank you for your patience as we make this the best experience possible for your fur family. Since every dog is different we tailor to your needs, we offer vacation visits, Boarding at our home and Overnights at your home. Our family has a passion for all animals. All dogs are different, some pets love the excitement of a car ride to a new location and fun friends to play with, and some are happier in the comfort and security of their own home. We offer all options, so that you have the peace of mind that your babies are not only taken care of but are also happy while you are away. Some one is here most of the time since I work from home, we love having the company of our furry friends. If your pup loves to play my son Zach and daughter Abigail, pups Rocky, Fisher, and Spot love playing in the large fenced in back yard. Please let us know if you would like your pets to come vacation with us.

Why I love dog sitting

I have been an animal lover all my life. I have always owned different kinds of animals from pocket pets, small and large dogs as well as special needs dogs.

I have had experience with giving dogs vitamins, heart warm pills, daily Medication, and insulin shots as well as testing the sugar levels.

I will lovingly care for your dogs UP TO 20 LBS in my home. I tend to spoil. If it was up to me, i would have a menagerie of dogs. So what better way to have that then to sit for someones elses fur family. I do have some experience with taking care of dogs and grooming. I grew up with my mom running a dog business for 40 yrs. Because of house insurance I am unable to take in Pit Bulls, German Shepherds and Doberman Pinchers and Chows. I do not work outside of my home so i am home 90% of the time. I do hope you will give me the chance to love your dogs while your away. I do have a closed in screened patio. I have 2 extra crates if needed and have plenty of extra bowls and lots of dog beds and blankies. Your dogs will get plently of love and hugs. All Dogs must have all their shots. My price does not include food and I'm also super experienced with senior dogs. I also know how to handle pet meds.

All dogs must be house trained or crate trained. I can only take dogs up to 20Lbs.

All you have to do is bring their food! I have everything else!

As far back as 4 years old I remember having pets in my life. That's when I got my own first dog.

Pet sitting is what I can do to continue to follow my passion and be surrounded by pets. I can share my knowledge, love and experience to ease pet parents mind while offering a safe home environment with lots of TLC.

About 10 years ago I started going to clients homes to care for their furry family members and a variety of pets. Seeing a need for a mature dependable person I began boarding pets at my home, doing a small amount of visits to existing clients homes that were nearby. Pretty much any animal, including visits to barns for horses, chickens, goats and a few cows, including a pot belly pig sanctuary.

I am dependable, mature, honest and consistant. I treat my clients and their pet the way I would want to be treated and how I treat my own pets .

At my home I accept the smaller dogs and pocket pets. Recognizing the majority of my clients are Yorkies, Schnauzers, Doxies, Chihuahuas, Maltese, Shih tzu's and such and their parents concern about big dogs being around their little ones and my own dog being a 5lb Chihuahua I've chosen to keep the littles only.

About this sitter:

Lisa's Pet Sitting- A lifelong Lutz native, I am a mother of two adult children, grandmother of two grandsons and several granddogs. I love nature, animals and spending time with family.

If boarding a senior dog or one where they need more than the usual allergy pill, heartworm meds and such, hospice care or handicapped I add $5 each night to the Rover total.

Also, I have a pick up time of 11:00 am, those picked up after 11:00 am will have a doggy daycare fee of $15 for 1st dog, $10 for second.

Why I love dog sitting.

I love having the dogs around me, they bring happiness everytime I see them, providing a calming effect being the best form of therapy. It is a way to meet awesome people and their pets, sometimes becoming like family and best of friends. Learning about the dogs and their characteristics make it a challenge, what works for one might not work for the next one, encouragment and being patient and offering lots of love, you can slowly see them come around gaining confidence.

Meet my pets

Mid 2017 I saw a dog on social media needing to be rehomed, a 5lb Chihuahua and he is the color of butter so he affectionately has the name Butter. I knew minimal about him so I got him vetted and neutered. He is a healthy little boy approximately 6 or 7 yrs old and loves most of our guests.

About my yard

Backyard is small to medium with new vinyl fencing with gates that stay locked. Lots of shade, a combination of trees, grass, mulch, and pavers. An occasional lizard and squirrels in the trees. Dogs are always in my sight and yard is large enough for play and exercise. There is also a screened patio with a ceiling fan and fresh water. Usually some rugs and mats. Dogs are allowed in back as long as I am home, never left out.

My experience administering medication

I did phlebotomy and provided minor first aid for people leaving me feeling comfortable to take care of animals. I have given lots of meds and insulin injections to dogs and some cats.

I have loved and cared for dogs and animals my whole life and recently rescued a very young and traumatized puppy that had to be bottle fed and required extensive supervision for several months.

Caring for pets takes great care, patients and a truly deep love for animals. I am home all day so I will be able to provide that same care and attention for your dogs in a safe and fun environment with plenty of play time. Socializing pets is so important and my furry clients can't wait to spend their next stay with each other after having a blast here. Even challenged and shy dogs come out of their shell very quickly with all the friendly encouragement from all the pals here.

We have a large home, with a spacious fenced in backyard, it also includes a doggy door for easy and independent access. Plenty of play room for the pups! We have two wonderful dogs ourselves, Luna and Kobe, who always enjoy having friends over. We enjoy working as a family to provide your pup as much love and attention as we can!

Morning and afternoon snacks are provided (Ex: Apples, carrots, bananas, or peanut butter kongs). For the hot summers we have pool parties on the patio. Evening walks are included daily. We can dispense medication if needed. Dogs are fed separately regardless of temperament, no toys please as they can encourage territorial behavior. We will play fetch and use balls at collective play time.

Boarding rate: is for 24 hours of care , if need more than 24 hours we offer daycare!

Rates/hours: 1-4 hour=s $10 5-8 hrs= $20 Pick up and drop off schedules are flexible.

We're Zach and Steph and we'd LOVE to watch your dog the next time you go out of town! We live in a 2 story town-home in New Tampa. We adopted Nala and Kiara in 2016 and they have been great with all of their doggy playmates!

**Please note that due to Nalas hip dysplasia, we cannot take large male dogs that will mount her**

Steph does Rover full-time and is always available!

We will send you texts and pictures to ease your mind. We want to keep a safe environment for everyone! Please let us know if your dog has any allergies.

*Please note for boarding it is for 24 hours, if drop off is in AM but pick up is in PM there may be additional fees for the additional time.*

**Our pick up and drop off times are between 9am-9pm**

*Please see "additional rates" to see holiday rates, puppy rates and more*

I am a mom of three girls, aged 21-17, two of whom are still at home. We are all animal lovers and absolutely adore dogs. We do not have a dog anymore and we miss it, so being able to pet sit your dog would be a joy. Your dog would get lots of love and attention. We have a very big, fenced back yard where the dogs can go out and run, play ball, and enjoy the outdoors. We are available for overnight stays in our home. We do have two cats but they are a bit scared of visitors, so mostly they stay in another room. We are in South Tampa near the Westshore area and we would love to meet you and your pups.

My name is Elias Pacheco I attended college in Watertown, NY majoring in Zoo Technology. I've always loved animals and I have been caring pets my whole life. I have cared for my own pets as well as neighbors, friends and families. I was always known as the Pet Sitter. Growing up I was able to intern at The Bronx Zoo, learning what it takes to become a zoologist, this helped me to choose the career of my dream and the College that I was attending, Jefferson Community College. I am looking to help owners who are unable to tend to their pets while away or at work. I am extremly loyal to pets and can handle any situation that is thrown my way. Rover is a full time job for me and any dog that is brought into my home under my watch will be treated like my own family. I also make sure to order enrichment for your dog and also number of other care products from the Chewy app anything to make sure your dog is entertained, happy and safe during their stay with me. It is also important to me that all these dogs that come to me are socialized and can handle being in a pack because dogs that come will always be joined by other dogs.

We live on about 70 acres of land in Land O Lakes, Florida. Our dogs (Black and Tan Coonhound mix named Sammy and Rottweiler mix named Comet) love to walk the land and go swimming in the various lakes and ponds. They hunt deer, squirrels, opossum, armadillos and more! It's a true dog's paradise and nice place for a medium to large dog to come visit. Sammy is a very docile dog that gets along well with other dogs. Comet is a friendly dog, but doesn't tolerate any dogs that are aggressive (not play aggressive, but mean aggressive). For this reason we always encourage a meet and greet.

During the summer I am home during the day and during the school year I come home during lunch and am otherwise a home body.

About this sitter:

My name is Eric and together with my dogs Comet and Sammy we live a "country life" in close proximity to everything in Land O Lakes. I am an elementary teacher, author, and president of Dreamers and Doers, Inc and not-for-profit that helps children pursue their dreams.

Why I love dog sitting

I have always been an animal lover. As a child I would rescue every stray cat I found, much to my parent's chagrin. When I was 14 we got our first dog, Ralph. Amazingly enough, Ralph was my mom's idea and from that moment on I became a dog lover. I have been involved with various rescue groups as a foster, and have been hired by many folks to babysit their dogs. My dogs, Sammy and Comet, are darn near royalty around our house.

About my yard

We have over 50 acres of fenced in land, but only about 15 of it are mowed. We have forest, swamps, and a couple of ponds. My dogs loves to hunt, but never goes without us. Of all of the dogs we've ever hosted here, none of tried to go exploring without us. We have trails in the woods and take the golf cart through for the dogs.

My experience administering medication

It depends. Pills and Creams, sure. Shots, no.
