Doggy Day Care Bay Colony

“Our dog Wailer absolutely loves Emilie! He can be very shy and timid, but she instantly makes him feel at home. Thank you for always taking such great care of our little pup. He loved his second stay with you. We always know that he is safe and in good hands!”

“Gnocchi had so much fun with the other dogs, he came home pooped out and slept for the rest of the night. I received Lucia throughout his stay to ensure he was doing well. I will definitely be back!! Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m Sharon! I'm a retired mom and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for everything from reptiles to rodents to cats and dogs of my own. While I don’t currently have pets, I stay busy helping with my daughters’ three Australian Shepherds, as she travels often so I’m very familiar with energetic pups and structured routines. I offer drop in visits, walks and pet boarding, giving pets exercise, playtime, and affection while you're away. I strength train regularly and enjoy staying active with animals, so large dogs are no problem. Busy with a full time job and need someone to stop in? No problem. Traveling and want a trusted check in throughout the day or night? I’ve got you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a mid day walk, or just some company and playtime while you're away, I’m here to help. I’m flexible. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in caring, capable hands. Heading out on a special work trip or vacation? No worries. I offer overnight pet care to give you peace of mind while you're away. Your pet will stay safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I make sure that their routines are followed, they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. You can relax, knowing your furry friend is in good hands - almost like a vacation for them too! I pride myself on being very respectful of others’ homes and treat each pet like they’re my own. You can count on me to be dependable, gentle, and communicative. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! I am retired and available most hours of the day and all days of the week. However many times you need a check in, as long as it is not too far, I don't mind stopping by. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I follow their routine closely whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or giving meds, and I always respect the home as if it were my own. I clean up after pets, double check that everything’s secure before I leave, and send updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!

“As soon as we met Maria. I knew our dog was in the right place. Maria was kind and informative about how she would take care of Isabel and then informed us about Isabel’s day. Maria was a great find!!!!”

About: I have loved animals since I was a child, watching Discovery Channel and National Geographic. I adopted my dog, Coco Chanel, when she was 4 months old and she is now 13 years old. I began studying Pre-Veterinary Medicine right out of high school, but opted to follow my artistic endeavors in music. I addition to the great number of dogs I’ve boarded/walked and cats I’ve done drop in visits with, my experience is very personal, as it has just been my dog Coco and I for quite some time. Coco was very timid and frightened when I first adopted her and she has gradually come out of her shell, with patience and love. I would love a chance to care for your precious family member and I can guarantee a stay filled with love and compassion! I’m home full-time. If I’m out, it’s typically less than 8 hours. I work minutes from home, so I can always do a drop in to check up. All boarders have free range of my home, including a gated patio (with supervision)! A/C is always on and they always have access to the kitchen for water and food.

“My dog was VERY happy staying with Linda. She was so sweet she made arrangements for another 5 pound dog to come for a visit so my energetic puppy could play with someone exactly her size! She noticed my fur baby was hungry and she texted to make sure it was ok to feed her( she’s a picky eater) and even sent food home for her to try again. I highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for more than 30 years, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my Golden Retriever was my constant companion and best friend. That early bond taught me the importance of patience, trust, and the unconditional love that pets bring into our lives. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, birds, and rabbits, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, needs, and care routines. From energetic pets who love playtime and walks to older animals who need a gentler touch, I understand that every pet deserves individualized attention and care. One of my most meaningful experiences was rescuing my Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix in 2018. When I brought him home, he was severely infested with fleas and needed extra care, patience, and treatment to become healthy and comfortable again. Helping him recover strengthened my commitment to providing animals with the love and support they need to thrive. I've also cared for my brother's Yorkie during a period of illness, ensuring he received consistent attention, comfort, medication, and monitoring. This experience taught me the importance of being attentive to changes in a pet's behavior and maintaining a calm, reassuring presence when they're not feeling their best. As a pet caregiver, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals, I will provide dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered) family members! Why Pet Owners Choose Me 30+ years of hands-on experience with dogs, birds, and rabbits Experience caring for rescue pets and senior or sick animals Patient, dependable, and attentive to individual needs Comfortable following feeding schedules and care instructions Committed to treating every pet like family Regular communication and updates while you're away I'm currently home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just companionship, I have a flexible schedule that lets me meet each pet's individual needs and maintain their normal routine. I provide attentive, personalized care for pets in both my home and my client's home. I have plenty of open outdoor space for leashed walks and exercise, and I have a friendly small dog who can provide companionship for social dogs. I always prioritize safety and follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special care instructions. I am comfortable with crate training and can accommodate crating requirements when requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I strive to create a comfortable, stress free environment where pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Karlee was the sweetest and such a huge help taking care of my our new puppy at short notice. She was able to pick him up and drop him off saving me extra time on an already chaotic schedule 😅”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by them, and now I care for 8 of my own—1 dog, 6 cats, and a bearded dragon. My pets are truly my whole world. I have experience with animals of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring special care. One of my cats had diabetes, and I lovingly administered insulin twice a day, along with other medications. I understand how much your pets mean to you, and I treat every animal I care for like family I only work on the weekends, which gives me open availability and full commitment to caring for your pets with lots of love and attention. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, they’ll receive plenty of love, affection, and exercise. I have a large grassy field right next to my apartment or I use the sniff spot app where I can rent a backyard for as long as I need where dogs can walk, run, and play and even swim to burn off energy! If your pet is staying in my home, I do ask that they be crate trained, as I have cats and want to ensure everyone’s safety if I need to step out. That said, if your pet is well-behaved around cats, I’m completely comfortable letting them sleep outside of the crate and making them feel right at home.

“This was a first for our senior pup to enjoy dog sitting. Jeralyn was so patient with her and I felt such relief to find someone so understanding!”

About: I have been blessed with 4 great labs over the last 40 years and recently lost my last one. (Porter) Want to care for dogs without ownership right now. I am recently retired. My wife works part time from home. We live on The Galt Mile in Ocean Summit. I am interested in caring or walking your dog during the day. It would have to be at your residence. My experience is animal care extends from dogs, cats, and horses. I volunteered as a groom on a horse farm for retired thoroughbreds for 3 years when we lived in Saratoga, NY. We live here on The Galt year round. My preference is to care for dogs in the closeknit community of The Galt Mile condos only. I live at the Ocean Summit on the Galt Mile. I would like to limit my services to the Galt Mile residents to include pet sitting at your residence or dog walking. I do have a car and can take your pet to the Vet if needed. Since my proximity will be close I van provide services quickly. I require a meet and greet to confirm I am the right caretaker for your dog or cat. Prefer to be called to ask questions and request service Have taken care of my own dogs during my life a s well as others when I was a Rover service provider in Saratoga, NY. I am now retired and no longer have a dog. I miss the companionship and would like to interact with dogs once again in my life. I do have a cat and would be glad to assist in taking care of your cat when needed,

“Great experience, highly recommend.”

About: I've always had a deep connection with dogs. I bring a very calming canine energy, and trust is gained quickly. Anyone who has a dog(s) and knows me well will ask me to sit for them when they can't provide the care their dogs need. When I retired from my successful 45 year sales career, I had planned on getting a dog. As it's turned out, my friends and neighbors with dogs have kept me very busy. And it's been the most fulfilling and gratifying chapter of my life. I just have an innate ability to connect with dogs and what I give to them, they give back to me. It's been a very rewarding time in my life now that I get to do what I love best: to be surrounded with canine company. And I can unequivocally and honestly say I'm very good at it. As I said, I'm retired and can easily accommodate the needs of prospective clients. I'm readily available and am very flexible with you and your dog's schedules. I live in my recently renovated condo in the very upscale community of Coral Ridge in Fort Lauderdale. It's a small two-story residence easily accessible to lush parks and magnificent estate homes. We have excellent security with a Neighborhood Watch and private 24 hour Coral Ridge Patrols. Patrolling

“Meredith and her family were great with Buster! So friendly and personable and she took took such great care of him. She sent me updates and pictures to let me know how he was doing throughout and overall just a 5star service. Buster was exhausted after his day there from playing and running around. A sign of a great day for any dog. I definitely would use Meredith again!”
