Doggy Day Care in McIntosh

“Mona was amazing with our dog! Jones was with her at doggy day care for three days and every evening Jones came home happy and the perfect level of tired. Mona was kind, understanding and sent lots of pics. I will definitely use her services anytime we can get on her schedule! I highly recommend!”

“Lourdes was amazing with our hyper Springer Doodle, willing to watch on short notice, and communicative. Mackie was tired upon pick up which means he had a good time. Would recommend for anyone!”

About: Former foster parent at the local humane society, experienced with senior care. I live in an adult-only, quiet, fenced backyard house in the suburbs with no current animals. Great for dogs who prefer being the only one in the house or the center of attention. Also ideal for bigger dogs who might enjoy more space. I am currently a full-time online student at the University of Florida. I am available nearly all waking hours to monitor your pet and their needs. I have a super flexible and available schedule for last-minute requests/changes. My house is dog-proof whether your pet enjoys roaming around or prefers being crated. I live with my sister who is also an animal lover and an experienced dog walker. Rest assured, your dog will be extra spoiled under our care!

“Paula and family took very good care of Olaf. They had a young lady who took lots of photos, and played with him and kept him entertained. Thank you!”

Caring for pets is a natural part of our everyday life.

Lesley attends school virtually, Josh works nights and weekends, and we live with two Lesley’s sisters Any and Lili who also help with walking, feeding, and giving treats and attention. With 4 circulating humans, your pets will have consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love.

We treat every animal like our own—with respect, patience, and kindness. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness!

“Darby was wonderful! So accommodating and willing to watch our pup on late notice and adjust to very early morning drop off. She was a great communicator and our pup had so much fun with her and her lovely dog, they became best friends quickly! She was willing to put up with our crazy pup who is still young and learning a lot and she did so with grace and patience! Will be using again!”

About: I’m currently a PhD student looking for some additional doggo/cat loving time! Ive had pets since I was 5 years old. From birds, rabbits, chickens, and dogs, I’ve seen it all. I have a cocker spaniel, her name is Mia, so I’m pretty familiar with all the ins and out of dog parenthood and what is needed. I have a big home with a large backyard, which is perfect for fur babies that love to burn some steam during the day. I promise to treat your fur baby as if it were my own!! I’m currently a PhD student so I’m in lab certain days a week on a schedule basis. I mainly work from home majority of the days, and always home by 5pm latest In my home, I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own, obviously whole following instructions provided by the owner! I have no pet on furniture restrictions. While at the clients house, all instructions and rules will be followed. My main concern is to make sure your fur baby is safe, happy and well take care of!

“Lauren is so great with our nervous dog and we are so happy to have found such a great dog handler and sitter. Our baby gets to play with other dogs and live her best. We’ve booked Lauren many times now and will continue to do so in the future - it is priceless knowing your baby is in great hands!”
