Since the dogs are kept in a pack/play environment, its best to have them settled and separated into kennels or rooms when a new member of the pack joins them to relieve anxiety among the dogs.

It is very important that you arrive on your scheduled drop-off or pick-up time. Please text your ETA as confirmation so that the dogs are not kept inside waiting and missing out on fun playtime.

By texting your ETA to 321.615.2599, it will ensure that I am aware of your arrival since I'll be outback with the dogs and won't see you arrive.

I accept Zelle, Venmo, cash or check. Full payment is due at drop-off.

• Just a Bath is a warm, relaxing bath with scented shampoo, a deep body massage, natural air dry and brush out.
• Quick Rinse is a rinse with a combination of shampoo and high-powered water to rise off sand from a day of play.
• Blow Out uses a high-powered, cool air blower that will blow out loose hair from deep in the undercoat.
• Services such as nail trimming and ear cleaning are offered individually so that you can choose just what your dog needs.

Each dog is assigned a milk crate cubby that their belongings must fit in. These crates are kept in a closet away from the dogs access. Bags of dog food are bulky and hard to keep away from the dogs. I have had dogs break into bags of dog food or containers and overeat...and then overnight they poop a bunch in my house. One time, a client brought a brand new, unopened bag of dog food. The food was contaminated with bugs and I had to get my house treated as the bugs spread quickly. Please bring only what your dog will consume during their stay, plus a little extra just in case. Bring the measurement scoop or individually bag each meal. You could use Ziploc bags or a small container.

The Resort is set up for medium and large dogs weighing from approximately 30 pounds to 80 pounds. I also watch Dachshunds as my dog Opal loves to share her space with friends who are just like her. I host doggy daycare for small dogs on Tuesdays.

Proof of current vaccinations for distemper, Bordetella/kennel cough and rabies are required before dogs can come to a meet and greet, doggy daycare or overnight visit.

Puppies are individually evaluated for acceptance. 

Elderly dogs are welcome. Medication can be administered. If the senior dog requires extensive care or medications, an additional fee of $5.00 per day will be charged.

Dogs over one year of age that are not neutered or spayed are not accepted. If any male dog is marking in my house, they will not be accepted. Female dogs in heat cannot stay at the Resort. 

Due to liability insurance restrictions, Pit bull dogs are not allowed. All breeds are evaluated for aggression and may not be allowed due to their temperament.

The dogs are provided with raised beds and blankets. Wire crates with blankets are available for dogs that feel more secure in a den environment or who prefer to sleep in crates. The dogs sleep in private suites with 2-3 dogs per suite/room. They have plenty of room to stretch out and get comfy.

Not needed. I will provide a raised bed with blankets.

Due to the slumber party type sleeping, your bed may get chewed up by another dog or another dog may sleep in your dog's bed. 

With the dogs going inside and out often during play time, your bed will get dirty. 

This also minimizes the chance of transferring diseases or fleas between beds.

I have two dogs of my own. I have a maximum of eight daycare dogs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Overnight boarders average three or four dogs overnight. 

When I first started watching pups, I had the dogs stay with me loose in my home. I had carpet in my living room and bedrooms. My carpet was cleaned monthly as dogs peed and puked on it. The finish on my Mexican tile floor was stripped from the sand on the dog's feet. Trim and doors were chewed by the dogs. Nothing could be left on the kitchen counters. Once I purchased new furniture and had my carpet removed, I remodeled my house to dog proof the master bedroom, en suite, master bath and Florida room. I created an exit for the dogs to go directly to the back yard and not through my living room. Now, my house stays clean, it doesn't smell, Opal is happy that guests are not around her food and I can eat in peace without a bunch of dogs begging around me. Life is so much better when the dogs have their own area to be a dog.

I started this adventure August 2015. 

2025 will be my 10th year anniversary!
