Doggy Day Care in Ave Maria

“Moving to a new area is always a big worry for me as I have a 16-year old dog. He has been in daycare from puppy on and there are times I need to be away and need daycare and/or boarding. Finding Jackie and Russ has been a blessing and a huge relief. They are wonderful, kind, easy to work with, answer quickly and my dog is safe, comfortable and happy in their home when I need their services. Thank you so much! An amazing find!”

“Im so happy I found Marijana to take care of my little boy. She is so good and nice to them. I know my baby was really happy staying with her. She kept me updated about how my boy was doing. Totally recommend her. And when I need someone to take care of my boy I will definitely go with her. 🙏💙”

We have a spacious 6 Acre fenced property to provide endless enjoyment, keep your dog safe and two of our own friendly labradors to keep them company. Dogs enjoy access to our home as well as lots of outdoor space(pastures, front yard, fenced pool area) for playing, walks, and relaxing.

About: I treat every pet like family whether they are energetic puppies needing playtime and basic training or sweet senior pets who need a gentle touch and extra patience. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m confident handling special needs, medications, and unique routines. I provide consistent communication, updates, and lots of love to give you peace of mind while you're away. What truly sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and genuine love for animals. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. It is something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Whether it's a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight care, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care is not just something I do, it is part of who I am. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, mealtimes, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions, so they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I am respectful of your space and keep everything clean and tidy. In my home, I also provide frequent updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing!

“Laurie was great. She took excellent care of Theo at her house for two days and kept me updated. This was a last minute booking and I’m so lucky I found her.”

“Danayrys took great care of our puppies on late notice while we were in town on vacation. Our dogs were comfortable with her from the moment she greeted them. Her communication was excellent; from directions to her home to updates on our dogs, communication was clear and timely.”

Tara & Adam E.

“The best last minute notice and only one I trust with my Goldendoodle”

“I feel so fortunate to be able to have someone I trust care for my dog. She has always made herself available to fit my schedule. My dog loves playing with her little boy too which is a plus!”

“Great little daycare experience with Jeanette! Just a leadup to our 2 week booking in June. Jeanette is just great with Dutch and it’s obvious that she loves dogs! Even though just a few hours of stay she still sent a picture of the two of them cuddling on the sofa. Love her!”

About: I love all pets and can care for them as you request. They will have free range of the fenced in yard and house. I will text daily photos/videos of your dog to ease any stress of leaving your companion at home. **I pet sit because I WANT to not because I HAVE to. I only allow one other dog at a time in the home. This allows me to give the your pet more attention than with dealing with several dogs at a time.** Smoke free home. I am retired and since moving to our 2.5 acre property I thought there is no better way to host pets. I am home most of the time. If I go out it is just for a quick errand. I have a fully fenced in yard with an electric gate. Always closed for 24 hour protection. I have a very friendly golden retriever for your pets company.

“Carlos and Claudia are awesome! Kind hearted and knowledgeable about dogs and how to make them comfortable and happy. Most of all they are patient and accommodating. It was hard picking the right place to take our puppy Copper, who is new to our home and still adjusting, they made it an easy and good choice for us. Will definitely use their services again”

About: I have loved and cared for animals for a lifetime and first began pet sitting as child. This allowed me plenty of experience with creatures large and small, including birds, and small furry pets. It would be an honor to be entrusted with your furry friends’ care whether it’s for a day or an extended stay. My current schedule has long stretches of availability, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings year-round. Night shift workers are welcome and I am happy to work with your unique schedule. While in daycare or boarding, your dog will have access to my house and yard. There are no children in the home so your pet can enjoy a peaceful stay. For an extra layer of security, every dog I care for outside of their home or yard (daycare, boarding, walks, drop in potty breaks) gets an Apple Airtag attached to their collar.

My fully fenced yard and backyard (1+ acres!) provide plenty of opportunities for safe play, exercise, and fresh air throughout the day. For bedtime and rest, all pets staying in my home sleep in their private 8x4x6 kennel, ensuring comfort, security, and personal space.

About: I have always had dogs since I was a child. I currently have two small dogs who are our fur babies. I started doing this to ensure people could relax while on vacation and not having to stress about their pets care while gone. I currently work from home so I am always available for care for your pets. I stop numerous times a day for potty breaks and if more food and water is needed. Your fur baby will love a getaway at our place! Your dog will be treated just like one of the family. Please let me know if you have any special requests.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life and I had big, medium and small dogs in the past and I also had one cat. I took care of pregnant dogs, injured, spayed and neutered dogs. I have college classes Monday-Thursday I have classes during these times : @10am-3pm. I do not travel more than 25 minutes away from Immokalee. I can travel to Ave Maria & Felda. Let me know if you have any questions. I can care for your pet in my home or the client’s home, whichever the client prefers. If the client wants their pet to be in a crate, that’s fine with me too. Either way, I will take the pet on regular walks.

About: Hi, I’m Kayla! With nearly 8 years of experience as a preferred dog sitter, I provide a loving, reliable home where your adorable pet(s) will feel safe and happy. I share my space with my little Maltese (my absolute best friend!) who lives for making new dog friends. Your fur baby will have a buddy by their side, and plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. Whether it’s a weekend trip or everyday care, you can trust that your dog will be safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I am available to do drop-ins anytime after 1 pm, any day of the week, (as long as those days/times are open for booking of course!) **** I can only provide boarding for dogs that don’t bark when they're left alone, as I have gotten a few complaints in the past.**** I provide thorough care for your pet(s) including feeding, walking, playtime and snuggles. While my primary experience is in general care, I have some training experience, having successfully trained my own puppy, now 3 years old. This includes basic commands such as sit, shake, come, and stay.

“I am what most would call an “over-protective mother” when it comes to my fur baby. Finding someone to take care of her when I can’t was a daunting task until meeting Ms. Pamela. During our meet and greet, I was stunned when Pippa snuggled up to her as though they’d been friends forever (and that never happens with anyone)! At that point, I knew that Pamela had a true heart for the animals, and I was sold immediately. If you are a picky pup mom like me, I highly recommend you book Ms. Pamela! Pippa and I give her a 12/10 tail wags!!”

About: Being a fur mom of two and a human mommy of 3 means I can fully care and love on all the babies! I have a male maltipoo who is 7 and a Mini Bernadoodle who is one and she is my only little girl. Both came into our family as puppies. We’ve trained them ourselves and they are great playful doggies. I’ve doggy sat for neighbors and enjoy seeing the doggies play all day with each other. I am a SAHM and mostly available throughout the week , especially in summer when the kids activities are on break. Having this flexibility allows to give your pet the proper attention. We have a yard where doggies can play, it is not fenced but covered in privacy bushes. The house has plenty of room for your doggy to roam and play. They’ll will be accompanied all day.

About: Although most people see this as a job, i see pet-sitting as a fun and exciting opportunity to make new friends all with their own personalities:)! Seeing as i don’t really find myself going out much now-a-days, pet sitting seems like the only right option needed to be taken way sooner. I believe in everyone having their own schedules for their babies, so i try to keep their routines to allow more comfort for all parties.
