Your Dog Deserves a
Home Away From Home
Family‑Style Pup Care in Orange Park — because your pup is family.
Hi! I’m Terri, and I’ve had dogs my entire life. In our home, pups settle in like family — relaxed, loved, and part of everyday life. When your dog stays with me, they’re my only guest, so they get all the attention, comfort, and cozy home living they deserve. No kennels, no cages — just a calm, welcoming space and plenty of tail‑wagging moments.

About Me
I’m Terri, a lifelong dog lover here in Jacksonville, FL. I’ve had pups my entire life, and they’ve always been part of our family — not just pets. Because of that, I understand what it truly means to give a dog the care, comfort, and attention they deserve.
In my home, dogs are treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the furniture, curl up for cuddles, and settle in just as comfortably as my own furry crew. When you leave your pup with me, you’re not choosing a boarding facility — you’re trusting someone who genuinely loves dogs and will welcome yours into our home with the same affection and patience I give my own.
My home is calm, clean, and structured. I believe dogs thrive on routine and love, and that’s exactly what I provide — every single day.

Meet My Dogs 🐾
My own dogs are friendly, well-socialized, and love meeting new friends. They’ll be your pup’s built-in welcoming committee! Here’s a little about our family pack:
🐶 Cooper
Cooper is a high‑energy Goldendoodle who brings joy and excitement to every day. He loves his walks, thrives on outdoor time, and can spend ages in the yard trying to catch lizards — his favorite pastime. He’s neutered, fully up‑to‑date on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and enjoys a healthy, active lifestyle.
Friendly, lovable, and endlessly social, Cooper welcomes every visiting pup with enthusiasm. He happily shares his toys, invites new friends to play, and helps them feel right at home from the moment they arrive.
🐕 Daisie
Daisie is our Golden Retriever and the princess of the house. She enjoys her morning and evening walks, but she’s far more interested in slowing down to smell the daisies and take in every moment. She loves playing with her “brother” Cooper, sunbathing in her favorite spots, and greeting visitors with her signature gentle tail wag.
Friendly, lovable, and always ready for a cuddle, Daisie makes every guest feel welcome. She is spayed, fully up‑to‑date on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and enjoys a low‑key, sunshine‑filled lifestyle with just the right amount of playful activity.

Safety & Environment 🏡
Your dog’s safety is my top priority — always. My home has been thoughtfully set up to be a safe, comfortable haven for visiting pups.
🔒Fully Fenced Yard
Our backyard is securely fenced so your dog can run, sniff, and explore safely without worry.
🌿Pet-Safe Home
No toxic plants, loose cables, or hazardous items within reach. Every corner of my home is dog-proofed.
🩺Emergency Ready
I always have your vet’s contact info on hand and know the location of the nearest emergency animal hospital.
🚫No Crates, Ever
Dogs are never crated or kenneled here unless it’s their personal crate they’re already comfortable with from home.
✅ Background‑Checked Caregiver I’ve completed a professional background check, so you can feel confident your pup is in safe, trustworthy hands.
💊Medication Administration
I’m comfortable administering oral medications, eye drops, and other routine medications as directed.
🌙Overnight Comfort
Dogs sleep indoors with us — never in a garage or outside. Your pup will snooze comfortably in a warm, safe space.

A Typical Day 🌅
Routine is everything for a happy dog. Here’s a peek at what your pup’s day looks like when they stay with me:
🌄 6:00 AM – Rise & Shine and Breakfast is Served
A morning potty break, fresh water, and breakfast served on schedule. We ease into the day with calm energy.
🌳 8:00 – 9:00 AM – Morning Walk and Backyard Play Time
Time for the morning walk and to run, sniff, and explore the yard! Fetch, chase, or just roaming — whatever your pup loves.
😴 11:00 AM – Rest & Relax
A quiet downtime period indoors. Dogs decompress, nap, or get some gentle one-on-one cuddle time.
🍽️ 12:00 PM More Backyard Play Time
More time to run, sniff, and explore the yard! Fetch, chase, or just roaming — whatever your pup loves.
🐾 3:00 PM Another Round of Backyard Play Time
Another backyard session or indoor play, depending on the weather. Enrichment toys and games keep minds sharp.
🍖 6:00 PM – Dinner Time
Dinner is served on your dog’s usual schedule to keep their routine consistent.
🍽️ 7:00-8:00 PM Evening Walk
Evening walk to get the wiggles out
🌙 8:00-9:00 PM – Wind Down & Bedtime
Evening potty break, final water check, and settling in for the night — cozy and content.
(Schedule will always be flexible and adjusted to match your dog’s normal routine at home.)

Tell Me About Your Pup 📋
Before your dog’s stay, I’ll want to get to know them inside and out! Here’s the kind of information that helps me give the best possible care:
✅Name, age, breed & weight — Basic details that help me understand your dog’s needs.
✅Feeding schedule & amount — Their regular mealtimes and exact portions so I can keep their routine consistent.
✅Medication names, doses & timing — Clear instructions ensure your pup stays on track.
✅Veterinarian name & contact — Always kept on hand for safety and peace of mind.
✅Emergency contact — Someone other than the owner, just in case.
✅Allergies or dietary restrictions — So I can avoid anything that might cause discomfort.
✅Behavioral quirks or triggers — Anything that helps me understand their personality.
✅Potty habits & signals — How they let you know it’s time to go.
✅Energy level & exercise needs — Whether they’re a couch cuddler or a zoomie machine.
✅How they do with other dogs — Important for safe, happy interactions with Cooper and Daisie.
✅Sleeping habits & preferred spots — So bedtime feels familiar and cozy.
I always recommend a free meet‑and‑greet before the first stay — it gives your pup time to sniff around, get comfortable, and lets us go over everything together.

Who I Can Host 🐕
I want to make sure every stay is a great fit — for your dog AND for my household. Here’s what works best:
Great Fits 💚
- Friendly, social dogs — Pups who enjoy being around other dogs and settle in comfortably with new friends.
- Small or medium dogs — Best fit for my home and the gentle dynamic with Cooper and Daisie.
- Fully vaccinated dogs — Must be up‑to‑date on core immunizations for everyone’s safety.
- Dogs on flea/tick and heartworm prevention — Required to protect all pups in my care.
- Senior dogs needing gentle TLC — Perfect for pups who appreciate a calm, loving environment.
- Dogs on simple medication routines — Straightforward schedules are welcome.
- Calm or moderately active dogs — Playful is great; overly intense energy is not.
- House‑trained dogs — Pups who understand basic potty routines. We do not crate, ever!
- Dogs comfortable with supervised outdoor time — Since Cooper and Daisie love their yard time, visiting pups should enjoy it too.
Not the Right Match ❤️
- Large dogs — My home and pack dynamic are best suited for small and medium breeds.
- Dogs requiring intensive medical care — I can support simple routines, but not complex or high‑needs medical situations.
- Dogs with aggression or reactivity — Visiting pups must be friendly and able to get along with others.
- Dogs with severe separation anxiety — Mild anxiety is fine; extreme cases may not be comfortable here.
These aren’t rejections — they’re about making sure every dog gets the right level of care they deserve. 🤍
