Doggy Day Care in West Tocoi

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I’m very attentive pet lover I enjoy spending time with animals, will play with, walk, feed, and care for your dog as if he or she is my own. I have dog sat for many friends and family members. Even got offered pets because of how well they seen me take care animals. I Have experience administering medicine, giving baths, nursing dogs back to health, training, and more. I’m very energetic and playful and will make sure your pet gets the proper exercise and burn off all that extra energy. I volunteer at the local animal shelter taking dogs on bow wow break out and fostering. I have 2 dogs stormy and koda. Stormy just turned a year old and koda is 6 months old very playful and loves other animals. We go on long walks in the park and on nearby trails. They love car rides and pup cups from Jermiah’s. I have two 4 year old cats Chloe, and Oliver that have their own room and kept separate from other animals when needed. I work from home overnight and I home school my 7 year old daughter so I’m home majority of the time outside of running errands. Morning feeding happen between 6 and 8am followed by yard play and then nap time. Pm feeding are usually between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm followed by a little time to burn off steam or a walk before bedtime. I do let pets out to use the bathroom every 2 to 4 hours. Bowls and crates are washed and kept clean daily along with vacuuming the floors. Loving and caring for your pet as if it’s my own, long walks, supervised play time, separate feedings, time to decompress, pets will always be leashed or in a secure enclosed area. Pets are allowed on furniture. I will keep pet owners updated with pictures and videos throughout visit. Calls and text anytime day or night are welcome.

About: I have cared for and owned dogs since I was a child. I have been pet sitting for neighbors, family and friends for many years and enjoy the company of dogs. I recently lost my 16 year old rescue dog and while not ready to own a dog right now I would enjoy caring for yours. I’m retired, very flexible and easy to reach if you need immediate care for your pet. I’m willing to do long term care including weekend if needed. I enjoy walks with pets either short or long according to their needs. I also have a play area available. Sitting with your pet in my favorite chair or relaxing on the sofa would be part of everyday. Pets are treated like family in my home. I’m happy to share my favorite reading spot and even a spot in my bed for a fun overnight.

About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life from cats to goffin cockatoo!! I really love animals they are so unique and have such a personality! I'm a mom of four I work a part time job during school hours. Two out of my four children are in school, I have a very flexible schedule, I can pretty much accommodate any needs for your animals. My oldest child does school at home so she’s also available during the day when I am at work for potty breaks and companionship, etc.. I have a fenced in yard, my home nice and cozy. My oldest daughter loves to have any of our doggy guests sleep in her bed with her she loves to cuddle them!!

“I cannot express in words properly how absolutely wonderful Natalie was with our big goofy hound. Natalie put all of our anxieties at ease with her gentle nature and patience. Our pup seemed to look forward to his second day with her and had zero separation anxiety!!! Thank you Natalie for taking such great care of our fur baby!!!!!!!!”

“Jacey watched my Golden Retriever puppy 4 times, including an entire week. My puppy was excited to visit her each time and always fell asleep instantly after getting home so clearly he had fun. Her dog made an excellent companion for my puppy as well. Jacey responded to my messages quickly and sent pictures everyday. We’ll continue to use her services in the future :)”

“Katharine was really kind and watched our sweet Ruby for a day while we visited St Augustine. She sent me pictures throughout the day which was very comforting. If and whenever we come back to visit we would definitely use her again!”

About: Care for 30-60 pounds doggies. At this time I am only able to accept doodles due to my work. I work with food, bake all kinds of pastries and breads. Only non shedding pups at this time as I cannot have any hair around my kitchen. I am home most of the time so potty breaks can be as often as needed. My pets are my children. When asked how many kids do I have I say 4. Two human babies and 2 animal babies. My pups are very gentle with my children and I would like to continue with such puppies/ guests. I have been around dogs all of my life. Grew up in Poland with family who had farms and all kinds of animals. Dogs were always around. Playing with them was part of growing up and having fun. Now I have 2 sheepadoodles (Lilly and Bella) who are wonderful companions. They are big, furry, loving addition to my family. Cannot imagine living without them. My 4 legged babies can get me smiling on a bad day. I care about them as much I as do about my human children. They absolutely love humans, and get along with other dogs.. I am home almost all the time so your dogs will not feel lonely. Also doggies are allowed to run freely , there are no cages. Our yard is fenced and pretty big with toys to play with. I would like to take dogs between 30-60 pounds. just because mine are 50 and 70 pounds and by my experience they do play better. I take only 1 guest pup at the time so the experience is more personal. Also that helps me to keep all of them safe .... there are 4 cameras in our house so I can have an eye on my furry babies even when I am grocery shopping or running errands. Safety and love is what I like to share. I had taken a break from Bording due to personal issues. When pregnant with second child someone smashed into my car. Don’t remember anything. Woke up in a hospital couple of days later. High risk pregnancy. My daughter is 6 now and I decided to resume taking a doggie companion. It is very important I only have gentle dogs guests. Especially Gentle with children around. Thank you for understanding. I am stay home mom. If I go out it won’t be longer than 2-3 hours most of the Time. I have been stay home mom for 9 years now. I have a fenced yard and 2 doggies to keep your pup company. If I step out it is for couple of hours only. I have 4 cameras in my home to check on them as often as I want to.

“Nelli and her family were super kind and loved our baby like their own. Plenty of pictures to keep us updated throughout the day! Thank you so much for taking care of our baby.”

“Hamilton loves playing with chopper so much, that when we go to their house he didn’t even say bye he just ran inside happy as Can be! He has never done that with anyone other than us before. So I’m taking this as him letting us know he really enjoys his time there.”

“Mary did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She was attentive, caring, and made sure my dog was happy and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and how well she handled everything. Highly recommend her!”

“This is Louie’s second visit with Sarah. He was SO excited when we pulled up, his entire tail and lower half of his body was wagging and he was incredibly eager to go inside and play with the other dogs. And that is Louie’s review, which I believe would go something like this: “Mom, when can I go back and play?? Please??””

“Our mini golden doodle, Cooper, just loved his play date at Nancy’s home! She provided pictures, updates, and her responses were quick. We definitely would schedule another playtime in the future. 10 stars for sure!”

About: I understand that your furry friends deserve the best, and my partner Allan and I are dedicated to providing them with love, attention, and fun during their stay. We always aim to have us both at the initial meet-and-greet so your pets can get comfortable with our full team — though life happens and sometimes it will just be one of us! Drop-in visits and care may be provided by either myself or Allan depending on our schedules. With a flexible schedule and a strong commitment to safety, we ensure peace of mind for both you and your furry family. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Each day begins with cheerful morning walks and feeding time, ensuring every pet starts their day with energy and excitement. I have a spacious, fenced-in yard where your pet can safely play and explore. Along with my two friendly dogs, your furry companion will enjoy plenty of social interactions and fun. If your pet prefers some quiet time, I also have a cozy crate available for them. Plus, snuggles are not just allowed—they're highly encouraged!

“Lisa was fabulous (: We could tell that Cosmo and Charlotte were immediately comfortable in Lisa’s beautiful home and with Lisa & her husband. The backyard is securely fenced with plenty of room for the dogs to play, and Lisa’s home is meticulously kept. From the photos she sent, I could see they were very happy while staying there! We haven’t left them with anyone since Cosmo joined our family and we are so happy to find Lisa. Not only is she conveniently located to us, reasonably priced, and a star sitter with Rover, but our dogs seemed to enjoy their time away. Yay! Thank you, Lisa!”

About: We’re a mom-and-dad-run pet care home in St. Augustine where pets are treated like family. As parents of four children and lifelong animal lovers, we’ve created a warm, structured environment where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and included in everyday family life. While we’re continuing to grow our Rover profile, caring for animals is nothing new to us. We have years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. We also have a professional dog trainer in the home, giving us a deeper understanding of canine behavior, communication, and individual needs. Unlike large boarding facilities, we intentionally keep the number of guest pets small so every dog receives personalized attention, plenty of supervision, and a calm, low-stress experience. Whether your dog is playful and social, prefers a quieter environment, or simply enjoys being around people, we strive to make them feel right at home. Our goal is simple: to provide the kind of care we’d want for our own pets—safe, loving, attentive, and tailored to each individual dog. Pet care is our full-time focus, so someone is typically home throughout the day. We maintain a consistent routine with meals, potty breaks, rest, enrichment, playtime, and plenty of supervision. Because every dog is different, we do our best to follow your pet’s normal schedule and preferences to help them feel comfortable, secure, and right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our home is set up with secure gates, designated pet spaces, and supervised interactions to help every dog feel safe and comfortable. We intentionally host a limited number of guest pets at a time, allowing us to provide personalized attention and carefully manage each dog’s experience. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and being treated like family.

“Louie is so happy with Miss Tammie now that he's a bit sad to come home...so much to do there & other pups to play with. He absolutely loves it there!”

About: Kelli and I both grew up caring for our family dogs and when we got married (over 30 years ago), we of course had to find our Lucy. We found Lucy at the local shelter and she changed our lives. We loved her for 13 years and when she passed, she left a gigantic hole in our hearts. We are not ready to have another dog of our own but love to care for others. We travel quite a bit and don't want to board a fuzzy baby in a kennel. About 2 years after losing our Lucy, we started pet sitting for our friends and neighbors and it has been a blessing. It's like having grand kids. We have the joy of a pet for short periods of time and then they go home! We care for pets for overnights, up to 5 -7 nights if needed. We love and care for them like they are our own. Our home is very dog friendly, with mostly tile floors and furniture they can sit/nap on. Your pet will be spoiled while visiting with us. We own a small business and Kelli works from home 5 days a week. Joe works from home 2-3 days a week. The pets get spoiled with love and attention. We have a large fenced backyard and a great neighborhood to walk in. We will walk your pet several times per day and they will have unlimited in/out privileges.

About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.

About: My husband works from home and I am home full time which allows me to spend ample time with your fur babies playing or resting. I have taken my dogs through multiple dog training courses and regularly work with a dog trainer who gives me great tips for caring for pets. Our sweet girl Luna is AKC good canine citizen certified as well as has earned a couple trick dog awards. I am at home full time so I can dedicate my whole day to play, rest, or walks. Whatever makes your pets day better while they are away. Pets will be allowed frequent walks throughout the day as well as play time in the home with myself or my husband. We try to include brain stimulating games throughout our day and would love if you could send your pet with their favorite treats to incorporate!

“Leanna was so sweet with our elderly yorkie/Chihuahua. Not only did she provide last minute care for us but made sure Ivy was settled and happy and sent us updates. You can tell she not only loves dogs but is a lovely kind person. Thank you!”
