Dog Boarding Colony Cove

“Edward did an excellent job communicating by sending pictures of daily activities. He also would send messages with updates to ease the mind of worries while caring for my dog”

“Kelly was super sweet! She sent pictures over the weekend she had our dog and had a great fenced in yard for our energetic staffy to play and sniff.”

“Megan is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. We were away for 4 nights and had looked through all the Rover sitters around town, did various meet and greets, and tried to put our trust in the right fit. SO glad we went with Megan because our girls were so well taken care of! She sent updates each day and night, photos and videos, and made us feel so at ease. She truly is a gem and will def be booking with her again for future needs!”

“Repeat customer of Emma’s always flexible and communicative. Always send great pictures of our boy and is always a pleasure to work with. Cooper loves being over there, could not speak more highly of a boarder. Emma makes the process so seamless and makes me feel as though I don’t need to worry when I go out of town. 10/10 recommend.”

“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”

Alexa A.

“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”

About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.

“Our dog enjoyed another great week-long stay with Hannah! From the moment we dropped her off, our dog was so excited to come stay with them again that she didn’t even look back. She seemed completely at peace with the love and treats she got at her home away from home for the week. They sent pics and funny updates throughout her stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to board her again with them. Highly recommended!”

Nicki L.

“Kristin was amazing with our goldendoodle and I would highly recommend her! She kept us informed on how he was doing with lots of photos and video. She also took special care of him during the fireworks which he happens to be terrified of. We don’t just leave our dog with anyone but felt very confident he was in great hands with Kristin!”

Joey L.

“Chief loved his time with Andrew and Kaitlyn. It's such a relief to know you are leaving your pet (in our case an older one) in good hands. We would love to have them watch Chief again.”

Mary Ann P.

“Patti sent me updates and pictures of our dog KC and took care of her like she was her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

Marilyn M.

“Debra did amazing with my pups, I would highly recommend her. She played with them and sent lots of pictures. She was highly communicative and flexible.”

Jessica S.

“Kaitland provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town. He had a great time and seemed to really enjoy the environment at her house. Kaitland kept us up to date with pictures everyday. Great experience!!”

“I recently moved to Jacksonville and interviewed 4 sitters before I found Tannia and Chris. As soon as I met them I knew they were the ones! Beautiful people, beautiful home, beautiful experience. My Frenchie is 6 years old and this was the first time I left her with ‘strangers’. My little Frida is very attached to me- but I had to pry her out of their house to bring her home after my trip. I found my people to watch my pup whenever I go out of town. Tannia and Chris were ‘strangers’ for all of about 10 seconds. They are now Frida’s home away from home- where I know I am leaving her with two caring and thoughtful dog lovers. 💕”

Maria J.

“Tyler was wonderful to work with! Great communication. Our dog is very anxious, but Tyler and her family made him feel right at home, which really put my mind at ease. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Laura H.

“I was really nervous about leaving Georgie because she’s a little quirky sometimes, but I got a lot of great photo and video updates and she settled in nicely. It was a short overnight stay but I definitely recommend and will use again! Thank you!!”

Lauren J.

“This is the second time I have used Angela and like always my pup had the best time! He comes home worn out yet ready to go back! She is so attentive and sends me picture throughout the stay! I cannot recommend her enough! I will 100% use her again!”
