From Our UF & Medical Community Clients

What UF & Shands Professionals Say

"As a physician with unpredictable on-call schedules, I needed a boarding solution that was flexible and reliable. Gainesville Dog Boarding has been a lifesaver. They accommodate last-minute changes and my dog comes home happy every time."

Dr. Sarah K.

UF Health Shands

"I travel frequently for academic conferences and needed someone I could trust completely. The daily photos and the fact that my dog gets actual one-on-one attention — not just a kennel run — makes all the difference. Highly recommend to any UF colleague."
