Doggy Day Care in Micanopy

“Cannot say enough good things about Lesly and Josh! They took such special care of my Lily. They were able to work with me and be flexible when I was stuck at work and couldn’t collect her right away. You can tell they truly care about the babies in their care ♥️”

“Mona did a great job watching our high energy pup on such short notice. Would constantly send updates and picture while I was at work and provided a great environment for Mackie to run around. Thank you!”

“Alexander was AWESOME. At the last minute he was able to dog sit my grand pup Dakota, when my daughter was not able to find care in Tallahassee. Finding trusting individuals to take care of your precious babies can be hard. Alexander sent us pictures and check in several times to keep us posted on her health progress.”

About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. I’ve fostered several dogs over the years — from shy rescues to energetic puppies — and it’s taught me how to be patient, gentle, and adaptable to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I also have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including high-energy breeds like my own husky-pit mix. I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for just like they would at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or calm companionship, I meet each pet where they are. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with the pets I care for — whether that’s morning walks, play breaks throughout the day, or cozy evenings at home. Because I have my own dog, daily walks, feeding routines, and outdoor time are already built into my schedule. Adding another furry friend to the mix just makes the day more fun! On weekends, I love getting outside for longer walks or park time, so your pup will always have lots of attention and activity When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for just like my own dog. I have a fully fenced-in yard that’s great for playtime and fresh air, and my dog is friendly and well-socialized from years of fostering. I always take the time to introduce pets slowly and safely, making sure everyone feels comfortable and relaxed. I keep a clean, calm environment with plenty of attention, walks, and affection. I also follow each pet’s normal feeding, play, and sleeping routines as closely as possible so they feel right at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your rules. I stick to your pet’s daily schedule — from walks and meals to medications and playtime — while keeping everything tidy and organized.

“Julia helped out with a last minute dog sitting for my senior pup. I appreciated her prompt communication and flexibility for my schedule with an early morning drop off. I’d gladly ask her to pet sit again!”

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, growing up with them and caring for many others in my neighborhood. From walking and feeding them to giving medicine, I've always been the go-to person for pet care. When I went away to the Army, I got my first dog, which deepened my love and understanding of animal care. Since then, I’ve continued to help watch and care for dogs, including looking after my sister’s dogs whenever she’s away on business. With my lifelong experience and love for animals, I’m dedicated to ensuring every dog I care for feels safe, loved, and well-looked after. I am a college student taking mostly online classes. I have a lot of free time throughout the day to check on your beloved pets! In my home, I have a crate and a large, unfenced backyard for playtime. I have plenty of dog toys to keep them entertained, and they’re always welcome on my furniture for cuddles and relaxation. While in your home, I’ll follow all of your rules to ensure your pet feels as comfortable and happy as possible, just like they would with you.

“Noshin was absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of my two boys, who can both be quite a handful. I usually feel nervous about leaving them behind, but Noshin really put me at ease. She kept me updated with photos and was such a great communicator throughout the entire stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! :)”
