Dogsitting By Missy



Dog Sitting by Missy is a safe home environment where you can leave your pet with a surrogate parent while taking a vacation, or when you just need an extra hand with your pet. Better than kennels or vet-boarding, where you pet can catch a cough, your dog will have free run of the house with other well-socialized dogs and have no need of a cage. There is lots of room to play in the fenced backyard. Read More...
Click here to learn more about this service at InTown's Listing!

YardServices offered at Dog Sitting by Missy include: doggy day care during the day while you're at work, long weekend stays, and longer visits while you recover from surgery or study for finals. Rest assured that this dog sitter is reliable, and won't cancel at the last minute, like friends and neighbors sometimes do. They provide toys, dishes, and beds – though your dog may choose to sleep in the bedroom, on the floor, or with the other dogs. See more pictures of the house at InTown's Gallery!

Dog2Your dog's day will be structured to include 2 long walks, outdoor play group with other dogs, lots of love and attention, and his/her own special diet. More attention is given to your dog at Dog Sitting by Missy than a traditional dog sitter provides as the dogs have human interaction all day, not just for a short visit each day. Your dog will return to you happy, healthy, and with a report card on his citizenship and conduct. Click here to visit the website and schedule a meet-and-greet.

Dogsitting by Missy is also working with Intown411 and the Humane Society of Broward County in the You Save, They're Saved! program. With every purchase of an InTown411 discount certificate to Dogsitting by Missy, 25% of the proceeds go directly to the HSBC to help our furry friends!

The Whole Enchilada Fort Lauderdale



While some locals satisfy cravings for cheap, fast Mexican food at chain restaurants, others feed the beast at locally-owned burrito and taco restaurant The Whole Enchilada. Though you can see the cooks behind a glass partition putting together burritos at high speed, the bright yellow-walled taco and burrito shop has a slow-paced vibe and serves its customers with a little extra care. Your order is delivered to your table, whether you sit inside at a high top or booth or outside at the picnic tables in the fenced-in front patio. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

Almost everything on the menu, from the Hasselhoff taco basket to the black tiger shrimp burrito, falls between $6 and $9 and comes with chips and access to the salsa bar. Items rarely found in fast-food joints like mahi-mahi, shrimp and tofu make appearances on the menu, and fixins go beyond burrito basics with sliced avocado, caramelized onions, fire roasted peppers and cabbage. Some folks pop in and out of the shop in a hurry, but it's just as common to see people of all ages hang around for an hour or so. Upbeat background music, which ranges from Sublime to Phoenix and pretty much whatever else the cool kids are listening to these days, adds a touch of youth culture to the atmosphere. The Whole Enchilada certainly works well for a hurried weekday lunch spot, but its atmosphere suggests a leisurely Saturday afternoon. 4115 N. Federal Hwy., 954-561-4040, twefreshmex.com.
