Pet Sitter in Lakeland, Florida

I have owned seven dogs over the years. From a Doberman to a Pomeranian. I now am the proud owner of Schatzi, my Jack Russell Terrier. He is friendly with all other pets. He is active, loves to run, fetch, and gets along well with all animals. I am a fun-loving owner and I love my dog with all my heart. The first (and definitely last) time I boarded my dog in a kennel for 8 days was an awful experience for both of us. I will NEVER do it again. They did not give him his toys or his bedding and sent me home with an unopened bag of his favorite treats. He was drugged so much that he could not lift his head for days. This is the reason why I want owners to have a safer and more caring option. I will NOT sequester, cage, or ignore your pups. I use a safe top-of-the-line home defense insect killer inside and outside of the house before your babies arrive and after they leave. It is important that neither of us have problems in that department. I have a 2,500 square-foot home, which I own, with a large, privately fenced-in backyard with a deck. I work from home so I am always here which makes me a great candidate. I'm in a central location nestled between Tampa and Orlando. I only watch one family's pups at a time so that your babies will be the only one's here. Since I am a research fanatic, I pride myself on learning the most about the breed of your babies before you arrive. Avoid bringing plush or squeaky toys. Schatzi doesn't chew on anything in the house, but he has a strange aversion towards plush toys and tennis balls and tends to destroy them in a matter of minutes. If I buy a squeaky toy for him I always remove the plastic squeaky part for fear of him choking on it. My little man uses Advantix flea prevention. He also has Triflexus once a year. Please try to use it (or a comparable product) on your babies. ***Rates are doubled on the following days: Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, and New Year's Eve Day.***
