Greater Lakeland Offers Your Dogs A GREAT Alternative to Kenneling!



Lakeland now has a DogVacay site! And that's good because Lakeland boasts 100,000 residents and is the largest city on Interstate 4 and you can be sure there are also a lot of dogs in Lakeland with a population that size.


Most people stress about where to place their pet when they have to be away for short or longer periods of time or what to do in an emergency situation. Usually the last resort is to place their beloved pet in a boarding kennel.


Book your canine in our doggie daycare for fun, exercise & socialization!


All of us enjoy personal attention and being pampered so why would we want anything different for our pets?



DogVacay Hosts offer kennel-free dog boarding in their own homes. Some have dogs of their own and some don't. Some are available 24/7 and some are home the majority of the time but especially are there all night long so your dog experiences minimal stress when it gets dark or if they are seniors and might need a potty break in the middle of the night.



There are many great things about DogVacay like getting to choose the Host best suited for your pet based on your criteria, the price you want to pay, size of yard,  type of property, what specialties they offer, amenities


...like this wading/cooling-off pool that I have at DogVacay Winter Haven

PLUS DogVacay's money-back guarantee plus liability insurance coverage.




Some DogVacay host's also offer pet sitting in your home, if that is more suitable. To say the least, Dog Boarding is Awesome @DogVacay!


Yours Truly is still here in Winter Haven offering dog boarding and daycare 7 days a week and most of the time I am fully booked. It's good to make your reservations in advance or at the least, find a suitable sitter BEFORE you have to go out of town then find yourself in a pinch. I've had plenty of last-minute callers who didn't plan ahead and I've had to turn some away. Don't let that happen to you.


Long weekends and Holidays book up in fast, so make your reservation in advance!

Here's a few of mine:

Lori watched our Scottish Terrier, Cavendish while we took our niece to LegoLand for the day. We dropped her off in the morning and picked her up later in the day. Lori was very accommodating and took EXCELLENT care of our baby. We received several texts about Cavendish throughout the day which helped to minimize our anxiety about leaving her. I think Cavendish had more that day then we did. We highly recommend Lori and her doggie services!!!!!




Lori is a fantastic pet sitter! I rarely (and I mean rarely) will leave my two toy poodles with anyone other than immediate family especially since one of girls is 16 years old. However once I met Lori, her husband Bob, their beagle Bailey, and toured her home, I knew right away that this would be a safe, comfortable, and loving place for my dogs to stay. Lori and her home glow with the warmth of a dog friendly environment.Her home is clean, spacious and has a large fenced backyard area for the doggies to play. From her frequent text, email, and pictures, I was secure with the knowledge that my pets were being well taken care of. Would I leave my pets with her again? ABSOLUTELY! Do I plan to leave my pets with her again? POSITIVELY! Thank you Lori, Bob, and Bailey for a stress free vacation. 

    


My 8 year old Shih Tzu, Mickey spent 4 days on "vacation" with Lori at her home from June 30th-July 3rd. He loved his time with Lori, her husband and their beagle, Bailey. Lori's home is set up well for pet sitting with lots of space both indoors and out for play or just relaxing. Lori asked all the right questions about Mickey's daily routine so she could keep him on his regular schedule. She provided several walks each day and trips to the park for Mickey and her other canine guests, which they all loved! She even cuddled with Mickey during the frequent rain storms, which always freak him out and make him shake uncontrollably. I received at least a text message and email each day from Lori with pictures and video of Mickey enjoying his playtime with his new friends. It was a joy to receive all the pictures along with updates on how he was doing, and to know that my boy was happy and well cared for. Lori's "hotel" was a perfect substitute for "home" and will be Mickey's vacation spot from now on when mom goes on her own future vacations. Thanks Lori...you're the best!
