Hi All,

My family and I just moved to Sarasota from NY. We will be going back there to visit our family pretty regularly so we will have to put our lab in doggie day care for the first time. Needless to say we are nervous about where to leave him. Anyone have any suggestions?

In addition, once we close on our home we want to get a cleaning service to come in and do a massive deep clean of the house before we move in. We have an 11-month-old plus our dog, so a "green" service is preferrable. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

TIA!

Hi Tia

Check out justforpaws they are just off Clark rd east of I75, this couple are great and they give such a great service. Our cats have been there and our friend takes her doggy there. send me a dm if you can't find the details on the internet.

sorry can't help you with the cleaning, but I did see a green clean van on my road just last week so somebody is in the area.

Good luck with your moving day, I know what it's like with babies and pets, we came here from Spain with both in tow!!!!!!!

I've used Merry Maids in the past with good success, but it helps if you hang around and watch them do the work.
also, thoroughly inspect before they leave. Last time they "forgot" the blinds in the master.

as far as the dog is concerned, I cant recommend a day care center, but I can certainly recommend that you train the dog as much as you can to be in a crate. This will simulate their spending time in a cage. It will also be a great life saver at home.

In terms of a deep cleaning, I'd skip Merry Maids. They're fine for routine monthly cleaning. But for a one-time "move-in" deep clean I'd recommend calling Pamela at CleanTime services (CleanTime Services-Home). I just moved to the area last month and they deep cleansed my home and got into every nook & cranny including light fixtures, baseboards, cabinet drawers, blinds, behind/under appliances, etc.
