A retreat awaits you! Become best friends with sweetest boxer and 7 chickens!

Introduction

I am an author and speaker and looking forward to writing books when I’m in town. I rescued a boxer in December 22 who is my shadow. She is a sweetheart and is very affectionate!! I also am raising seven sweet chickens!! Although neither the chickens nor the boxer are any trouble, they do depend on eating a couple times a day and being loved on. I enjoy traveling and do not expect this to change so I need people who enjoy sweetness from my dog and my chickens( who produce fresh eggs every day). If you like to see the stars at night , listen to owls in the trees and want best friends with a sweet dog and chickens you’re at the right place.

Responsibilities

Basically responsibilities would be to feed Carli twice a day - treats if you like and interact when you can- she likes to snuggle - and to make sure the chickens door is open in the morning and closed after they perch in the evening - after sunset). They like you to talk to them as well.

I had a great several days with Carly and the hens. Carly was such a joy and chickens kept me entertained as well as fed with fresh eggs, yum! The guest space is a detached apartment/mother in law suite which was cozy and filled with lots of fun beachy/FL decor. Linda’s space is a good size piece of land out in the country and is on the more rustic end of the spectrum but a perfect getaway for anyone who appreciates privacy and star gazing. The weather was a bit too hot during my stay for me to take advantage of the nearby trails but they’d be a bonus for anyone staying during the cooler months.

Linda was wonderful to work with. The chickens were so much fun to work with. They are not typical chickens. And Carli was very friendly and appreciates you attention. Waldo Florida is true old world Florida. Enjoy!

Pet sitting for Linda was an absolute pleasure. Taking care of Carli, her affectionate dog, and her seven sociable chickens was a delightful experience. Linda's property and guesthouse provided a tranquil setting, perfect for a relaxing stay. Carli, with her gentle nature, craved attention and affection, making her a joy to be around. The chickens, incredibly social creatures, added a charming dynamic to the stay, happily trailing along with us as we explored the surroundings. Linda's thoughtful gesture of sharing videos beforehand helped us prepare for the sit and ensured a seamless transition. Overall, the pet sitting experience was nothing short of perfect, thanks to Linda's hospitality and the wonderful animals in her care.

Greg and I had a really wonderful time sitting for Linda. Her home and gardens are beautiful, set deep in the countryside a few miles from Waldo. Carli the boxer is honestly one of the loveliest dogs we’ve ever met. The seven hens were very fine, big and healthy due to free ranging all day. They laid beautiful eggs every day. Linda kindly lent us bikes and we had so much fun exploring the area. There are lakes nearby and lots of walking trails. A five star sit to be sure. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Linda and Carli for making us feel so welcome.

Awesome stay. Very serene property and OMG Carley is such a beautiful boxer dog. She loves people and.yearns for your affection. The Free range chickens are very cool as they make you feel like the pied Piper. Following us everywhere. And their fresh eggs every morning. Linda is very nice and friendly and helpful We'd recommend this stat if you're honored to get to take care of Carley . Love it A+++
