We use Miss Kate’s Bed and Biscuit in Oxford, fairly close but outside the bubble!

They are great! Lots of outdoor playtime, a larger area to eat and sleep and they even have video cameras so you can check on your dog. Tegan is excited when she gets there and they are just as excited to see her.

We had a similar experience at Village Pet Spa where she was injured, “but it couldn’t have happened there.”

Try out Kate’s!

Try Rover.com
There are several residents in The Villages or nearby area who take the dog into their home. They are vetted and our pet has attention and interaction in our absence. we have had very good results using them. Each sitter has a profile, reviews, and rates listed.

Enthusiastically recommend Village Pet Villas 102 LaGrande Blvd Lady Lake -352-751-0008. villagepetvillas.com. Across the highway from Spanish Springs

Wonderful kind and caring staff with great accommodations. No cages, crates or runs. Individual rooms have toddler beds. Added plus is that it is affiliated with Village Veterinarian.

Best boarding facility that I ever used.

We have had very good luck with Away From Home Pet Services. Joan (352-391-2323) uses Villagers to take your dog into their home. Only one dog is allowed into the home at a time. Our dog has always done well.

We have used Bedtime Tails in Summerfield a few times. Very pleased with the facility and care.

Thank you.

Two things I would never do are, leave my dog at a kennel and leave him home alone and have someone come by a few times a day and walk him. When I leave my dog I have someone come stay at my house with him. He's happy and comfortable here. I want someone here with him all night. My advice is get a dog sitter to stay in your house, check references.

Thank you very much!

I'm looking for a boarding option where I can have my dog walked several times a day, an option to have one on one play with a human, and accommodation with room to walk around and have a bed in a small area with outside access to a protected grass area.

I'm not looking to put him in a situation where he learns to bark and beg for attention because he's left alone and ignored for hours while he's in a cage and is listening to other dogs bark for attention because they're stressed out too!

There are a lot of doggie care individuals in the Villages who are loving toward your pet and are reasonably priced. Try asking for referrals on Next Door. I found my dogsitter on there and she is great.

Check out Kate’s Bed & biscuit. We’ve been very happy with them.

Good luck with this.. try a home sitter to come to your house

You might want to check out trusted house sitters. I would think it would be perfect for The Villages. You do have to pay them a little over $100 a year but you post when you'll be gone and what kind of pets you have and what their needs are, etc. The house sitter is vetted, etc., takes care of your pets and can take day trips while you're gone. You can't have any illegal pets (like chickens or wild animals).
