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 SO great. She sent updates throughout the day and was so sweet towards my pup, Ted! He had such a good time with the other pups that were there and he came back happy and TIRED. Thank you Tyler, for being so accommodating and caring. Ted will definitely be back! ❤️🐶”

“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 did great with my little one! He was immediately comfortable with her. This was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous leaving him with a complete stranger. She provided me pictures of him enjoying his stay. When I return to this area I will definitely bring my Fudge to Millie instead of boarding him at home now that I know he has a safe, clean and comfortable home to stay in. I recommend Millie 100%!”

“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!

“Bri did an excellent job watching our shy little pup! She had great communication and was very kind with our last minute appointment request.”

“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: Hello, I'm Maya! And that handsome model you see on my profile is Kash'Money Jones, my 4 year old Labrador. He is great with all dogs and offers a great opportunity for socialization and group play! I've taken care of multiple dog breeds and sizes over the course of 7 years, my experience allows me to provide the safest care to your furbabies. Being a dog owner myself, dogs are my passion. My main objective is the safety and enjoyment of your pets, I'm so excited to offer my pet sitting services again and I'm excited for us to board with us! I work full time as a remote Social Services Coordinator. What this means for you is the I am home and available M-F and S-S 24/7 to provide reliable and loving care to your pets while you take care of weekly responsibilities! My work from home position provides great flexibility for walks and playtime all throughout the day. Your furbaby will have fun here, guaranteed! Kash and I live in beautiful apartment homes on Southside Jax. Our home is clean, comfy, and spacious! The apartments are "garden-style" which means beautiful, naturistic scenery for your furbuddies to walk and romp. The entire area is pedestrian friendly with many sidewalks, crosswalks, and grassy areas great for sniffing. It does come with a wonderful dog park, however, I do not take Clients to the park unless requested as it can pose an unnecessary safety and health hazard.

“Susan is a very experienced & loving dog mom. She made me feel comfortable that my 2 were away from me & enjoying themselves. I got lots of pics & updates & even a personalized box of homemade treats fresh from her kitchen! Thank you Susan!”

About: My husband Melvyn and I love dogs and were dog owners for many years. We provide lots of love, walks and playtime. Currently, we do not have our own dog, but promise to make your pet feel like he's part of the family. We have an empty nest, so there are no children in the house. I work full-time, but my husband is home during the day. We doggie sit for family members whenever we can. I prefer to do a meet and greet so your dog will feel at home when he/she is dropped off to us. This also provides the opportunity for owners to discuss the dog's preferences. We will provide daily pictures as well. Please be sure to bring along your dog's favority toy and food. I am a virtual teacher and work from home. My husband is retired. This provides us the opportunity to be with our furry friends all day! I have a fenced in yard. I love taking long walks, too. We keep plenty of toys for our own pets as well as our furry guests.
