The Dog House Inn

A page to showcase "The Dog House Inn" and my clients dogs who come to stay & play! The property is approximately 2 acres, and is completely fenced in. LOL! LMK!

The Dog House Inn -- Is my home where I live with my two boys, Tommy & Jack, and my two dogs, Perlita & Lupino. This is where I grew up, and is a perfect place for dogs of any size to come and play. We sit right next to a golf course-- so in winter we go for long walks out there (see photos). Originally my business started after my second son Jack was born, I didn't want to work in NYC anymore (I

was a fashion executive for a Childrenswear manufacturer), and I wanted to do something part time. That was over 20 years ago! After my Divorce in 2010 I moved back to my childhood home, and I was still walking & boarding a few dogs...while taking care of my Mom. In 2014, my Mom passed away, and I bought a house in Florida! I thought I would move there to be closer to my sister and youngest brother(I have 6 brothers). However, my boys, did not want to go, and I really didn't want to live away from them either. So I rented out my home in Florida; "Casa Divina" (named after my mom) on Vrbo & Airbnb. I decided while my boys are still at home, I would open up my business again. And, so The Dog House Inn was created. I wanted to offer the dogs a "family" away from home, where they can feel safe and have a good time--essentially a vacation for your dog! Since, I offer my home in Florida to people looking to go on vacation, why not offer The Dog House Inn as a place for dogs to go on vacation... so an Airbnb for dogs! The dogs are cared for as if they were my own, and they have full access to the property--They can play in or outside all day if they want. They can sleep in any part of the house that is comfortable, which includes the couch, and if they can fit? They can sleep on my Kingsize bed...which is where most of them end up! Most of the time they follow me around while I garden, and play "ball". They spend a lot of time playing with each other, and so the dogs that come MUST be socialized, and submissive, not dominant, since I am the "Pack Leader"! Aggressive dogs, are not a good fit. Neither are timid dogs, or "pampered" dogs. My dogs play, they get dirty, they are silly and sometimes rough with each other...But, I am always here to make sure things don't get too crazy... once in a while I have had a dog completely covered in mud! Then and only then do I offer a free doggie bath! So, if you have a dog in need of a little vacation--whether it is because you are away? Or, because they need a break-- for a day-- a night-- a weekend? I am looking forward to meeting many new dogs. THX

Sharing this from a friends page!

When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then?

A really good post that can't be shared often enough:

1. Take a 2 minute break and read this: Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

2. You are really tired and frustrated. All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it...

4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs 🫁 and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment.

8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.☝🏻

9. FOR WOMEN 👭: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message. 💞

Our Story

The Dog House Inn -- Is my home where I live with my two boys, Tommy & Jack, and my two dogs, Perlita & Lupino. This is a perfect place for dogs of any size to come and play. The property is approximately 2 acres, and is completely fenced in. We sit right next to a golf course-- so in winter we go for long walks

My business started after the birth of my second son Jack, I didn't want to go back to work in NYC (I was a fashion executive for a Childrenswear manufacturer), I wanted to spend more time at home and I wanted to do something part time. So, I started walking dogs, and boarding them at my home in Rye, NY...that was over 20 years ago! I got divorced in 2010, and moved back to my childhood home, in Purchase. I was still walking & boarding a few dogs(most of my clients lived in Greenwich or Rye).But my Mom was not well, so I spent as much time with her as possible, and I did not look for new clients. Sadly, my Mom passed away in 2014, and I had to decide what to do with my inheritance. I decided to buy a house in Florida, and I thought I would move there, to be closer to my sister and my youngest brother, (I have 6 brothers!). However, my kids did not want to move, so I now had a home in New York and a home in Florida, and I had to find a way to pay for both of them!

I decided to rent out my home in Florida; "Casa Divina" (which is named after my Mom --Divina translates as Diane). which is in WPB, and is available on Airbnb!

And then I realized that I had to do something in New York. I hadn’t thought I wanted to continue to walk dogs. I had been doing that for 20 years! But it is all about perspective, and I realized that I could run a “dog boarding” business like my “vacation home” in Florida. An Airbnb for dogs! And, The Dog House Inn was born. I wanted to offer my client’s dogs a "family" away from home, where they can be “free” to play, where they are safe and loved as if they were mine--essentially a “home away from home”. The dogs have full access to the property--They can play in or outside all day if they want. They can sleep in any part of the house that is comfortable, which includes the couch, and if they can fit? They can sleep with me, on my king size bed...which, is where most of them end up! Most of the time they follow me around...in the summer, they help me garden, or work in the yard, and we play "ball".
