DEEDEE
Owner
Always There Animal Care was started back in 2000 after having a bad incident boarding my dog.
We took our dog to a reputable boarding facility at a vet's office, interviewed them and had the tour. We left specific directions for his care, yet 10 days later when we went to pick him up, they would not release him to us. Our dog was sick, on an IV and had lost 10 pounds. He had a gut infection from something he had contracted out in the play yard.
Out of this experience Always There Animal Care was formed. I am the owner with several well-qualified pet loving independent contractors. We are bonded, insured, and happy to supply references.
AMY
Farm Partner
Amy moved to Florida from Indiana in 2002. She is the proud mom of 10 pets - 3 horses, 4 dogs, and 3 cats. She has been an animal lover since the day she was born.
When she isn't pet sitting, she enjoys riding horses, hiking, gardening and pretty much anything outdoors. She is very caring and nurturing and pays attention to detail. She looks forward to spoiling your pets.
