Doggy Day Care in Samsula-Spruce Creek

“Steve is always available and willing to look after our dogs in a pinch. We just got a puppy and had to suddenly leave town. Our concern was that the puppy needed special attention as it was only 2 months old at the time. Steve watched him and kept him separated from the bigger dogs he had. He sent us pictures 2 times a day. Our puppy seemed very happy. Steve also watches our bigger lab mix every time we leave town, so we already knew how good he is with dogs.”

About: I come from a lifelong animal-loving household and have shared my life with cats, dogs, and many other animals my entire life. I’ve also been caring for animals professionally for over 20 years. While living in South Florida, I built a large pet-sitting clientele while working as a veterinary technician in a general practice. After relocating to Volusia County, I spent 16 years working in emergency veterinary medicine as both a technician and a manager. I’m now based in Palm Coast, new to Rover, and working toward making pet sitting my full-time career. I have a strong understanding of medical conditions and the specialized care some pets require. I know how stressful it can be to trust a stranger with your pet—especially one with medical or special needs. I’m experienced in administering medications, giving insulin injections, performing blood glucose checks for unregulated diabetics, and managing feeding tubes. I’m trained to safely handle pets with medical needs, behavioral quirks, anxiety, and specific routines. I’ve also had my own pets with conditions including heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes, urinary blockages, and seizures, so I truly understand the worry that can come with leaving a medically fragile pet in someone else’s care. My goal is for you to rest easy knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands. When entering and exiting your home, I take extra precautions by ensuring your pet is safely away from doors to reduce any risk of accidental escapes. I also remove pet waste and dispose of empty food cans off-site, so you return home to a clean, odor-free space. I’m committed to providing safe and loving care while you’re away. If you need services on a day I currently have blocked off, please feel free to message me. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs as I continue growing my clientele. Because I’ve spent 20 years in veterinary medicine, caring for animals is second nature. I’m used to structured routines, time-sensitive tasks, and being fully attentive to each pet’s needs. I schedule my days to ensure I can provide dependable, high-quality care—whether it’s once-a-day check-ins, multiple walks, or pets that need extra support or monitoring. Pets in my home get treated like part of the family. I create a relaxed environment where they can settle in quickly, get lots of love, and feel comfortable. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, and quiet time. Whether they want snuggles on the couch or their own cozy spot to relax, I make sure they feel safe and cared for throughout their stay.

“Our dog Murphy was able to stay at Giannas wonderful home for doggie day care fior 3 days in a row from 6/20-6/22/25. She was very accommodating to our last minute request to send Murphy to her Doggie Day Care. She was super accommodating to our pick up and drop off times. The Gianna family is very knowledgeable and receptive to our dogs needs . She sent me updates and pictures often. Murphy waa so happy and excited to run in her home . Murphy got walks and playtime with Nash , the most friendly dog in town. If we are back in the area, and need a day care for Murphy, Giannas home would be our first choice. We highly recommend Gianna for your dog. We would be so happy to use her again when needed.”

His fenced yard was enjoyed by the pups and he sent pics for us to see our four leggeds thru the day. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.”

“Victoria is wonderful. I have a very high anxiety dog that isn’t good in new situations and Victoria was so patient and understanding. She spend time trying to settle her in and gave her lots of attention ..and was so responsive to text messages. I am very happy I found her and plan to Victoria when I am down here.”

About: I am attentive and know what signs to look for as I have worked in the medical field. Live in a house with a fence yard and have experience with most animals. I do this on the side and will only accept when I am fully available. I have one older shitzu and 2 ferrets but can keep separate if needed. Both. I live in apartment so I would only take one at a time so that I can provide individual care. I have two ferrets and an older Shih Tzu.

About: I have been taking care of pets through Rover since early 2024 and it is the best thing ever! I grew up with many dogs and even married a military K-9 handler once upon a time. In my journeys, I learned a thing or two. My elementary-aged children have learned so much about different breeds and temperaments, and helped me to share so much love! We have boarded mostly dogs- puppies to elderly, some with medication or disabilities/ behavioral issues; some 1:1 and some mixed packs 4 pups at a time. (Currently multi-boarding is limited.) We’ve had a few cats (all amazing- my daughter loves cats but my son is allergic). I take care into deciding whether or not to board animals together based on many factors, and always try to consult with pet parents ahead of time. I work a flexible schedule, mostly from my home office. Saturdays are usually spent at home and Sundays are for the beach and home. We adore having pet guests! I have been a nanny, personal assistant, housekeeper and pet sitter for multiple people over the last 30 years. Animals are my favorite and my children love them too!

“Brittany was amazing with my furbabies. As soon as I completed the meet and greet with her I knew I picked the best person to watch my kids. Brooklyn and Bronx were in good hands and they had a great time with her. She sent a ton of pics and videos to keep me up to speed. I will definitely be using her services again real soon.”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family for 7 years. I lives with a golden retriever for 6 months and took him on daily walks. I get along well with everyone and put safety first! I also worked for a company the last year that sells dog park equipment, there were about 5 dogs on the office daily and I would make sure they went out when they notified me they had to go, keeping their water bowl full. I run my own health and wellness business from my home and online. We are relocating soon so I am looking for any and all extra work where I can continue to work my business. Right now I’m flexible the whole day as I am working from my phone with a few in person visits. I like to give lots of love to the pets, I make sure they have water at all times in their bowl. I like to treat them with ice cubes as a treat on a hot summer day (if they are big enough!) I also like to make sure I know what their signs are that they need to go out. Reading their energy and needs is a quality trait I have.

“Joshua did a great job. Brody really enjoyed playing with his dog and going for walks. He communicated with us regularly and we knew Brody was in good hands.”

About: In my opinion, pets are part of the family. I have always been around and cared for dogs since I was a child. I had my own dog for 12 years and after she passed away we have adopted 2 more dogs, a senior Spanador and a Pekingese puppy. Any furbaby that is under my care I make sure they’re fed and walked regularly and of course loved a lot. I work from home so I’m always available for snuggles and snacks. I’m available weekday afternoon/evenings and weekends. I’m also available early morning (before 9 am). We tend to be a home bodies so boarding for multiple days is not a problem. We have a nice backyard and quiet neighborhood for walks. I work from home so am available 24/7 for snuggles, potty breaks and snacks. We are home bodies and will be home with your pupper majority if not all of the time. We have a fenced in yard and nice quiet neighborhood perfect for walks and our house is open floor plan for puppers who need extra space.

About: I grew up with & have a love for animals. I have over 10 years experience taking care of clients pets, which includes: birds, bunnies, cats, dogs, fish, & guinea pigs. I am a mother of 2 and work from home part-time. With the occasional errand (i.e. going grocery shopping, to Dr's appointments, etc), we are always home. My Home has a large, fenced in yard to exercise in. There are a variety of toys - bones, plushies, squeaky, etc - to play with. Plenty of space & beds to relax. Crates to accommodate furbabies of all sizes. They also have their own personal space to eat.

About: I love dogs, I would want to leave my baby with someone who loved dogs, if I needed to leave him. My little guy loves other dogs and plays well, or sleeps through it all. I work from home and have all-day availability most days per week. I can break at any time to care for the pups, all day long. I have a fenced in yard; and always stay outside with the dogs while they are out. Mine requires this, and I'd do no less for yours.

About: I LOVE ALL DOGS! I live in a community with a couple of private parks, one right across the street! My community also borders with a dog friendly state preserve where I walk every day and would love to take your dog as well. I've been helping family and friends with their dogs for years and had two myself, until recently when my very old dog passed. I now have one senior lab/rescue that is very well trained. It is very quiet where I live and we have no major streets close, if dogs are well behaved they can be unleashed in the park, I always pick up after the dogs. I give good treats and lots of loving! We also have nature trails in our community.

About: Animals are my life and my passion. There is nothing else I would rather do than spend every day surrounded by the being I love most in life. They are helpless, and full of love and innocence. I have been caring for animals from the time I was a small child. This is my full time job that I love and wouldn't want to be doing anything else. Sometimes, I feel like I should be paying you to take care of your fur baby. I know that leaving them is like leaving your child with a babysitter. It's full of anxiety and worry. That is why I do everything I can to ease your fears and make sure I am completely transparent, will offer you a meet and great, and will send you lots of photos and videos all along the way, at your request. When they are with me, they are treated like royalty! I have an extremely safe, clean and comfortable home where I care for your babies. I deep clean after every boarding and day care visit. Come see for yourself.
