Doggy Day Care Colony Cove

“Charlayda was wonderfully professional and at the same time felt like family. Loved all the puppy pictures I got sent through the day. Can't wait to book with her again.”

“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”

Karen J.

“Katya was great! She stayed in contact and progress updates on how Smokey was doing! Smokey came home exhausted from all the fun and in great shape. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

About: I’ve been a passionate dog lover my entire life, and most of my expertise comes from the rewarding experience of raising my own two dogs from the time they were puppies. Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy, establishing routines, crate training, and positive reinforcement. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience housesitting and doing drop-in visits for friends and family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I prioritize clear communication, daily updates, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every dog in my care with the exact same patience and dedication I give to my own! I am currently off work and at home full-time, which means your dog will have my undivided attention! My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pup's regular feeding, potty, and exercise routines. Because I'm home throughout the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime. Safety is my top priority. My home features both a fully fenced-in front yard and a fenced-in backyard, providing plenty of secure, enclosed space for your dog to safely explore and play. Inside, I have two large crates available if your pup prefers or requires crating for meals, bedtime, or quiet time. I am highly experienced in managing a structured environment, and I strictly follow all of your specific care instructions to ensure total peace of mind.

“Ellie is always happy going to and coming home from Emma’s, which says everything. She’s comfortable, excited, and clearly trusts her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie is in such good hands.”

“Wendy is an amazing dog sitter. She is so professional and knowledgeable about our furry friends. She looked after my dog Lily for 5 days and Lily was so happy. I received many updates through out my day via videos , photos, and texts. I totally trust Wendy to dog sit my dog at anytime. I am very satisfied.”

“My pup had such a great time here! Brenda was super attentive ands sweet. We will absolutely be bringing our pup back to her!”

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

“Marilyn provided amazing care and comfort for Leo. I would definitely use her services again. Marilyn shared pictures and videos of Leo through the boarding time. Leo looked happy. Thank you again Marilyn & family!!!”

About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!

“Everything went smoothly and Midnight was very happy thank you again for everything and we will see you on the return trip in a couple months. I cannot leave you a tip at this time you know why but I will get you one soon.”

About: I've grown up my whole life around dogs and cats primarily. I currently have a German Shepherd who just turned one and a German Shepherd/Boarder Collie/Pit mix who's 3. I also have a cat that is diabetic and requires insulin twice a day. I've been working remote for the past 3 years. This allows me to take perfect care of your fur baby! This means unlimited access to outside for potty breaks or playing. My fiance also lives here and absolutely loves animals, one could argue more than me. She will make sure your animal is loved and cuddled if they're into that. I have a fenced in back yard with two larger dogs that will tire your fur baby out. As mentioned I work from home so I will be available all day to let your dog in and out as many times as it pleases and play with them until they're ready for a break (if they ever get tired, I know mine don't)

“Wonderful person!”

“Kaitland is so amazing. She’s responsive, so gentle, and her communications is always on point. We baby our 10-year old frenchie, and Kailand and her daughters are the most amazing and trusted pals we could have had asked for. 10/10 - would definitely book again”

Cynthia C.

“Bella loves going to Megan’s and playing with the other dogs. I know she’s had fun because she is so tired that she doesn’t beg for her nightly walk.”

Cathy M.

“This was my first time being away from my sweet girl since bringing her home. We booked a one day doggy daycare with Honey as a trial before her upcoming weekend stay, so Mila could get comfortable and adjust. Honey was wonderful and kept me updated with plenty of pictures throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind. Mila came home happy and completely tuckered out from all the fun she had! 🐶🐾🎀”

“Amazing ! Very loving and caring when it came to King ! Will use a again”

“Yekaterina and her family are amazing! They watched my 8 week old puppy whitney for several days and treated her like family. She sent videos and cute pictures throughout the day and the kids played with my pup and were so good to her. My puppy loved it at their house! 🩷💕”

About: Hi! My name is Marsha. I have never owned a pet, but many have owned me. Each has a story and each stole a piece of my heart. I currently have a retriever (Gracie) that the grandchildren found in my backyard. She is the hostess with the mostest when it comes to other fur babies. I also have a cat (Jill) who was a part of a set found by my husband at a dumpster. I recently fostered a German Shephard (Smoki), but fell in love and added her to our family. I have some time on my hands and would like to fill that time with something I enjoy. I love puppies, energetic tweens and elders with love left to give. Whether it's a visit, a walk, or play I would love to help.
