Doggy Day Care In Goodby's Creek

About: Hi! I’m Christine, a professional pet care specialist with over 15 years of experience working with dogs, cats, and small animals. In my early 20s I worked as a vet tech until I opened my own pet grooming salon. I operated that salon for 12 years before transitioning careers. My background includes professional grooming, animal handling, pet behavior, and pet first aid. I provide dependable, compassionate care and understand that every pet has unique needs. I hold certifications in pet CPR & First Aid. In 2025 I received certification in feline safety through the Intellectual Groomers Association. My current work-from-home position provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left unattended and receive consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I do my best to maintain the routine they’re accustomed to so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner.

“Laura was great. I was nervous about leaving Bella and she assured me she would be fine. Bella warmed right up and they had a great first day. I received pictures and videos of how Bella was doing throughout the day.”

About: As a pet owner, I know how important it is to have your furbaby well taken care of when you're not around. My two pups have since passed away and while I'm not ready to add another to the family, I would love to puppysit yours! I can administer meds, feed, walk, and play with your dog. I also have four young children who adore animals and would shower your pup with love and endless playtime. When your dog stays with us, it becomes part of the family. I believe it should be that way because that's how I would want my dog taken care of when I'm out of town. I am currently a stay at home mom so my time is flexible and I am home a lot. Your dog won't be lonely and will get plenty of pets, cuddles, and playtime. When your pup visits us, they become part of the family. So rest assured they will get plenty of attention, walks, and love throughout the day.

“Elizabeth was amazing! I had a early drop off schedule with varying pick ups times, and she was extremely flexible. Elizabeth took great care of our puppy! We will be using her again!”

About: 💖🐾Currently booking June and July💖🐾 I’m a fully insured sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—furry, feathered, and scaly. 🥰 I connect especially well with anxious pets and have practice with senior care and medication administration. My approach is calm, patient, and focused on making every pet feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care is my full-time job, and I am available everyday from 7:00 AM–9:00 PM. 🐾 Before Booking 🐾 ✨ A meet & greet is required for all requests so your pet can get comfortable with me—either in your home or mine. ✨ Pricing may occasionally be adjusted after the meet & greet depending on care needs, travel distance, scheduling demands, and overall booking complexity. I’m often able to offer reduced rates for clients located closer to my home/service area. Any pricing adjustments will always be discussed transparently before booking confirmation. 😊 ✨ Drop-Ins & Walks: I always do my best to keep drop-in times consistent, though a little flexibility is sometimes needed and greatly appreciated. ✨ Housesitting: Pets must be comfortable being left alone for 4–6 hours at a time. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible, but I will step out to care for other clients. If your animal requires constant care or cannot be left alone for that length of time, we can chat about extended visits or alternative services that may be a better fit. If you’re unsure what service to book, just send me a message and we’ll figure out the best fit together! 💕 Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet companionship, your pet will always feel safe, supported, and right at home.

“Tyler was clearly experienced with dogs- we felt confident he’d be taken care of and sure enough we picked up a happy dog at the end of the day!”

“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!”

“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: With many years of experience and a home full of kindness, we welcome every furry guest like family. After our own senior dog crossed the rainbow, our hearts have even more room. My mom and I work part-time, which means one of us is almost always home. Your pet will never feel lonely here — just cared for, watched over, and loved like family. I follow every instruction carefully and always respect each pet’s unique needs. Animals are like kids — they all have their own personality, comfort level, and routine. I make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for at all times.

“Millie took wonderful care of my pup, PuPu! I’m usually nervous about leaving him with someone new since he has separation anxiety, but she really put my mind at ease. Her lovely outdoor space was perfect for the dogs, and she sent pictures of PuPu having fun with her dog, Toby. When I picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. I would absolutely recommend Millie and will definitely book with her again!”

“Garrett is very reliable with appointments and is willing and available to walk our dog when we prefer. He is gentle with our timid dog. She is able to socialize with his dogs during daycare appointments.”

About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!

“Kali had a wonderful play date with McKenzie and her two pups. It was great to know that our puppy was in capable hands and in a warm and puppy friendly home. Mckenzie made scheduling our last minute next day play date so easy. I would definitely recommend McKenzie and we will be using her again for play dates and overnight stays.”

About: My first best friend was my dog. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without furbabies. I am happy to play, love on, walk, feed, pick up potty, scoop litter boxes, and administer medicine if needed. I was unemployed from my full-time job this summer and started doing Rover full time. I enjoy meeting my neighbors and their pets. I’ve been pet sitting on the side for five years now and am happy to provide references. I will treat your home as if it were my own. Safety and security are my top priorities. Whatever security measures you have in place and want to share, I will follow your requests.
