Doggy Day Care In Gilmore

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!

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 13 years old. I owned a Boston Terrier that was full of life and I now own a Golden Retriever with even more energy! My neighbors growing up knew me as the dog lover so I would be the to call when family or friends/neighbors were out of town whether it was boarding, dropping in during the day, or just taking their dog to release some energy while they were busy. I can be trusted up to walk, feed, and play with your four-legged child as if it were my own! I am currently working from home Monday through Friday. I work a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for play, potty, feeding, and walking. I have worked with animals that are both crate trained and not crate trained (my current baby is crate trained but my couch and bed are always open to them). My backyard is fenced with artificial turf. It is not super large but I live right next to a fenced in dog park that is perfect for socializing and energy release (literally 12 steps from my driveway). I am comfortable (if you are) with pets on my couch and/or bed. Or I am comfortable getting your pup inside of a crate as necessary.

“Marisa and her family are the best! We felt totally comfortable leaving Zoey in their care. Our anxious dog had a great day. We.look forward to more visits! Thanks, Marisa, for the pictures and videos throughout the day. We appreciate you!”

About: Boarding: Dogs must be crate trained and vaccinations up to date. Must be kid friendly and do well with large dogs. I have a large, shaded back yard where we can play with toys or fetch. Walk around the quiet neighborhood or take a nap and cuddle. I have an active golden doodle who can’t wait to have a play buddy. I will happily take your dog on walks, play their favorite game and keep a structured routine if needed. Administer topical, injection or oral meds. Meet and greets preferred prior to care. I am currently working from home and have a large shaded yard. Which means potty breaks and outside play and relax time are always available. I will make sure your pets schedule is followed so you can be sure your pet will have fun and be cared for while you are away. My home is doggie safe. Minimalistic feel with little to no clutter. Space for your dog to stretch out and relax. Separate room with crate for sleep and/or alone time if needed. If I leave the house crate trained dogs can safely stay in crate with water and food. Feedings can be done separate if needed. Please bring leash, water and food bowl, and favorite treats. Do not bring toys because they will be enjoyed and destroyed by my dog.

“Emma was great. Consistent communication and very accommodating. I was running a bit behind with pick up and she’s was quick to reassure me. I can tell Ellie had a blast with her and their dog Patrick. Highly recommend her care.”

About: I worked as a Veterinary technician from 2013-2018. Following this, I worked as a Medical Laboratory Technician at a Veterinary Laboratory from 2018-2022. I currently work remotely for the same Veterinary Laboratory Company. I have a ton of knowledge and experience with Animals! I am a full-time employee working remotely, giving me time to spend with your fur babies! I also do not have any pets at home myself. I always make sure to respect pets and pet owners based on their comfort levels and needs. I own my home with a fenced in back yard allowing time for play and potty breaks. I have years of experienced in pet care so I can quickly pickup on pets’ social ques and behaviors. During walks I am equipped to properly leashed or harness pets during walks. If needed I am familiar with lifesaving skills in case of emergencies and can administer medications if necessary.

“Edward is an amazing pet sitter! 10/10 recommend. He kept us updated on how our puppy behaved and adjusted upon arrival and multiple updates until the end of booking. Very generous and will be booking again. I felt at ease as I am always thinking about my puppy, I was assured he was is great hands, and I did not have a doubt about it !”

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.

“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!”

“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! 🩷💕”

“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”

About: I have always owned a pet or multiple pets at one time. I have experience from working at an animal hospital for a year and also from raising a sick puppy back to health who is now a great, healthy 3 year old. I have a very strict schedule when taking care of animals and I always ensure they get enough love, attention, playtime, food and water as their little hearts desire! I have dealt with animals of all kinds and am excited to find this opportunity to share my love for animals with all of you! I have a flexible schedule during the week and ample times on the weekends to care for your animal! My uncle is always stopping by my house to visit with my pup so he would be around some too and loves all animals as well!

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

“Sara has been sitting my puppy since she was only 10 weeks old in her home. I literally don’t know how I could raise this puppy without her. I’m a nurse and work long hours and when I pick up Lacey from Sara she is fed, tired, and sometimes even bathed! I couldn’t ask for a more perfect fit for my pup than Sara and her family they are incredible and extremely accommodating. Highly recommend, your pup will be in great hands.”

“Wendy was super awesome to accept my last minute booking for my baby's evening care. I have never left my Squiggle with a pro-sitter, so I was apprehensive about the experience - but I had to try it out, knowing I would probably need sitting services in the future. Wendy was on time picking up my little guy, and even went above and beyond when she went by the pet store to pick up Squiggy's fave brand of food at my request. Thanks, Wendy. She was responsive, quickly answering when I messaged to check on my baby. She even sent me pictures, and although he looked miserable BC he missed me (we are VERY attached), I was comfortable knowing he was well cared for while with Wendy. I had appointments until later that night and Wendy was very accommodating and dropped him off right when I asked, and she gave me a full update via Rover - right down to how many times Squiggy made poo. That is some serious awesome. And although very excited to see me and be home, Squiggy wasn't traumatized I left him with a stranger. Now that he has met Wendy, I wont hesitate to book her again, should we need her. Squiggy made a new friend, and I am now totally cool with Wendy watch my little guy again.”
