Doggy Day Care in Jacksonville

“I needed someone to watch my dachshund for 3 days over a long weekend. I had no idea that 10 year old dachshund - who is a recent rescue - would receive so much more than just a place to stay. Linda did nothing short of transforming my dachshund from being dog reactive, to hanging out comfortably with her little pack. Linda knew exactly how to introduce my dog to hers, and build my dog’s confidence and socializing skills. I feel so optimistic now about my dog’s ability to learn to interact and have good manners. Linda is calm, patient, and has a spacious, clean house, and a charming garden area. Good vibes! She also upcycles cashmere sweaters into awesome doggie sweaters!”

“Thanks for a great experience dog sitting my two girls. Another dog sitter had fallen through and I needed to find someone reliable and I found Sylvia and I’m very glad that I did. Thank you for watching them with such short notice and going above and beyond take care of them and give them exercise, as well as taking them to your art gallery event and just including them. I feel like I would highly recommend Sylvia and I hope that I can have you watch the dogs again if we come back to Ashland”

“Mary was very considerate of my small dogs separation anxiety issues. This was my dogs first stay and it went well. I will not hesitate to book in the future.”

“My dog was so happy that she was going to Shelly's house. When I picked her up, she was smiling ear to ear and exhausted. She had such a fun day.”

“Jeremy was a great dog sitter! We got pics during the week and our super energetic puppy was actually tired from playing by the end of day. It was super good for him! Jeremy was responsive to our messages and we felt our dog got great personal attention. Thank you, Jeremy!”

“I feel incredibly lucky to have connected with Anika. She accommodated a last minute request to look after Ranger dog while I attended a concert at a nearby venue until late in the evening. Anika has an amazing space for dogs to roam. She has two super friendly doggies of her own that were very welcoming to my Ranger dog. I don’t know how Ranger and I could have asked for more. I was so relieved that Anika was able to look after Ranger after previous arrangements fell through and I was scrambling to find someone else. Thank you Anika!!! You saved the day!!!”

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, we always had a family dog or three growing up. After college I adopted a rescue into my own family. Our current dog Poppy was rescued at 6 months old, and just turned 9 years old. She's been professionally trained in truffle hunting. I'm a retired safety engineer and run a bed and breakfast on our property. This allows me take care of the dogs and the property all day long. We live on a few acres with our rescue dog Poppy. There is a fenced area where the dogs can play safely outside. There's also a large deck that the dogs love watching the wildlife from. I only accept up to two other dogs at a time so it's a quiet and relaxing setting in the country.

About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember! I have 2 dogs and a cat now and understand the stress of finding a caring home while on vacation. I have experience with the extra care needed for senior dogs (our senior just passed this year. 😢) I work from home and can provide potty breaks for puppies and seniors that can’t hold it like they used to, as well as walks and play time. Being home means full supervision as well as plenty of check in pictures of your special fur baby. I have 2 dogs that will keep your pup company. We also have crates if reinforcing your current crate training routine is required. I do not have a fenced in yard, but live in a quiet community where I take my dogs for frequent walks.

About: I started my first pet sitting business when I was just around 7-8 years old. I used to pet sit out here in the same area of Ruch. I grew up out here. As an adult now, with many of my own animals, I am now offering my services again. I rarely go anywhere because I do not like being away from home and my animals. I'm almost always available and close by (servicing only Ruch). I grew up with, and took care of, many kinds of animals; horses, donkeys, goats, dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, rabbits, etc. Being around animals gives me life and I love to help make animals feel special while their humans are away. It's already stressful for them, and for you too, so make it easier with someone who talks to them and makes sure that they feel special. I live at home with my hubby and he is adored by every animal that meets him. He even stole my main doggy daycare client! Know when animals are here, they're cherished by both of us. I have my own small businesses that I can work on anytime I feel like it from home, which gives me great flexibility. I am available to take care of critters in the Ruch area almost any day, minus some appointments that I have sometimes. When I'm not here, hubby is here to watch them. In my home: To protect my own cats and dogs, I need to ensure that your dog is friendly with my animals, vaccinated, and protected from fleas and ticks. Outside is fenced in with no climb fencing and acreage for roaming around our house, they get to let me know when they want to go outside, or come inside. My dogs knock on the door and tell me what they want (in or out). I'm sure they will teach your dog to do the same. When inside, we read, nap, cuddle on the couch, floor, in front of the wood stove, or in a crate if your dog desires. Outside, there are a couple of acres to run and explore. I spend all day tending to my dogs and can do this for yours too.

About: Hi! We are enthusiastic dog lovers who will take great care of your furry friend. We both grew up taking care of animals and currently have a five-year-old German Shepherd. Looking forward to meeting you! Brandon works from home, allowing him to keep a close watch on everything the dogs are up to. We are typically available weekends and some weeknights. Our large, fenced backyard is great for playing and exploring. We have a friendly five-year-old German shepherd who is quite tolerant of any and all dogs and would certainly enjoy a playmate.

About: I truly love and care about pets. I will keep an eye out for health issues and make sure your pet is safe and happy. Pets are my life. I have an empty nest so I very much enjoy spending as much time as possible with pets. I love animals very much. I care for every animal as if it were my own. I believe animals should be shown love and kindness. I keep an eye out for any health issues and let the owners know if there are any problems.

“Helped me very last second with watching my pup when I found out the place we were going did not allow dogs. Flexible on timing and all of their dogs got along with my little 30lb beagle.”

“Charli and her fiance were fantastic with our anxious girl Daphne! She made me feel at ease, this was the first time we ever have let Daphne stay with someone who wasn't family. We will be a return customer, I'm so delighted with how it went!”

“Danijela was great! We were visiting Medford and needed someone to look after our doodle when we went skiing. She was quick to respond to my questions and friendly. I’d be happy to use her again!”

About: We have had pets our whole lives and spend lots of our time and energy with our dog, Goose. We dog sit for all of our family and friends and keep everyone’s fur babies warm safe and loved I work from home and spend most of the day with my dog now. Weekends are also usually spent at home, we have a 9 year old boy that is with us every other weekend who is also great with animals. We have a doggy door for our small fenced back yard, our dog has access to throughout the day. Spending most of my time at home I’m able to spend lots of time snuggling, and playing. Pets are allowed on the furniture but can change that rule accordingly.

“Beau loves going to see Haylee and play with her dog there. She is very accommodating and gave his eye drops as well. He comes home happy and worn out. If I wasn't moving out of the area, he'd be there while I work. She is a great person to care for your fur baby!”

“Our two girls really love staying with Yvonne & Sarah! A great time as always. :)”

About: I have had a love for all animals since I was a little girl. I have either had a pet to care for or have been watching friends pets whenever the opportunity arises. I am a stay at home mom. I am available to check in on animals throughout the day or even take them for a walk! I like to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of whenever you are away. I want to make sure they have what they need.
