For the Love of Pets Jacksonville Pet Sitter

If you are considering boarding your dog(s) with us, please review the following. We want your dog(s) to experience a peaceful environment during their stay in our home. Over the years, we have worked to create safe, fun, and socially appropriate play groups among guests. Boarding in a private home, albeit comforting for owners, is not always the ideal placement for dogs. We are in a residential c

ommunity and are not a kennel. Most dogs experience some degree of stress when they leave their home environment. Some level of adjustment is expected. Behaviors that are disruptive to a calm milieu may include:

* Barking is normal communication in dogs. Excessive or incessant barking, howling, and/or whining is upsetting to us, other dogs, and our neighbors.

* We have family events and other commitments outside of the home. When we leave, dogs can not be left in the home unsupervised. For the safety of your dog(s), they must be comfortable being confined in a 4'x4'x8' kennel or a crate. If this is not comfortable for your dog(s) or they try to escape from confinement, another placement would be more appropriate.

* Destructive behavior is not acceptable (destroying blinds from jumping on them, chewing/clawing furniture and other non-food items, scratching at the doors/windows).

* A bite history or aggression toward dogs/people is not accepted.

* Marking/urinating in the home will result in the dog being diapered with a belly band or female diaper. Some dogs that are 100% house trained at home, will mark/urinate outside of that environment.

* Our outdoor fencing is a maximum height of 4 feet of chain link. If your dog(s) is a flight risk or has been known to jump fences, this is not the safest environment for them. Our road is heavily traveled and dogs will likely be hit by a vehicle if they escape our yard. We are happy to do a trial day care to determine if your dog is happy here and that it is a good fit for everyone. There are commercial kennel facilities in the area if this is a more appropriate setting for your dog. Bark Avenue Pet Resort
