Doggy Day Care in Lakewood

“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.”

“AMAZING SERVICE! Randy and Mimi took care of our dog like he was their own. He had such a good time and was able to socialize and meet new dogs. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing doggy day care/boarding for their dog!”

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.

“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!”

“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: 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!

“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: I’ve had pets all of my life. I grew up with large dogs and currently have 2 small breed dogs. I have had older pets and puppies too. I take amazing care of my pets, and will for yours. My husband and I own a house with a backyard and lots of space to walk dogs around the neighborhood. I am a stay at home mom and am available to watch your dogs all day and provide the best care for them. I’m always here. I have a gated backyard with 2 small breed dogs. They are allowed inside and can go outside anytime to potty. If needed, I can crate your dog and we have a puppy room inside the house where they can sleep.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I had a family dog for 18 years and I currently have a small fur baby of my own. We go for walks and he enjoys lots of cuddles. I have the luxury of being home often but I know how stressful it can be to coordinate care for your pets and finding someone you can trust. I’m here to help alleviate that stress and care for your loved ones like my own! I currently work from home and make my own schedule so going for walks and play time and scheduled feedings are easily scheduled with my flexible availability I take long walks often. I have a small maltipoo who is super loving and friendly and will also enjoy the company! I’m home through the day as I work from home so I enjoy spending the day with the fur babies

“Cherie and Candace are wonderful. They made my puppers feel comfortable and one can tell they love puppers. They were available for a last minute booking. I would definitely recommend Cherie and Candace your fur babies are in good hands. I am definitely booking with them again.”

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.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. I know everyone might say that, but I really do love animals 🥰 I have my dog Kota who’s been my best friend for 10 years now, he’s super sweet and friendly with other animals. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me and Kota can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.

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.

“Absolutely LOVED knowing our fur baby was so well taken care of. Already making plans to continue to have weekly daycare. Great communication!”

“I needed a sitter extremely last minute for Butters (the day camp I originally booked was not able to accommodate him since he’s recovering from TPLO surgery) and Lesley responded ASAP. She was so caring and made sure he was comfortable with plenty of potty walks and pets! She also sent lots of updates and photos of how Butters was settling in. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, calm, loving home-away-from-home place for their pup while away.”
