This dog smiles for the vet and the techs. Dr. Gavron is who Dash sees. He gets so excited. I love how she gets on the floor with him and gives him lots of love. She took her time explaining some of the concerns we had, offered some cheaper alternatives, and was just so sweet to our pup. I'm not exactly sure how their prices compare to other vets, but they go through the estimate, what each vaccine, the exam, fecal test, etc costs and you sign that you agree. He was taken back, given his vaccines, we paid and were on our way. He also received what seemed like 10 treats from the Dr. maybe that's why he gets so excited to come here

There is only one vet that we absolutely will not use here Dr. P because she doesn't bother to read other doctors notes or pet info before calling us (almost gave us a heart attack because she didnt read the file about our dog). The boarding here is good but expensive and extra little fees for things like giving meds just make it worse ($5 a day for a medication I am providing is ridiculous). Otherwise no complaints.

I called the clinic at 1:30am after we found our sweet girl so sick. It is a 24/7 ER and the first one that picked up their lines. They were upfront on costs from the start letting us know they it is 188 for the vet to evaluate here. We rushed to the hospital and as soon as we arrived they jumped into action. The nurse came charging out and carried my baby girl back. They immediately started doing what they could to help. Throughout the 18 hours my girl was in their care they exhibited clear, honest, and transparent communication. From the start, the gave us an estimate on what we could expect cost wise. I appreciated how they gave us the highest range, so we could get the worry of cost out of the way. They do this so that they don't need to keep calling asking if they can do x,y,z. Anything they don't need, they refund to you. When health tragedy is at hand, no one wants to be worried about cost and I think they have a great system for maintaining a clear process on payments. I want to give special thank you to the night Vet Dr. Izeman or Eisman ( i dont know the proper spelling). He showed us great empathy and compassion and treated my girl with the utmost care. I am heartbroken to share that we lost my bestfriend, but I do want to acknowledge that Dr. Izeman and his nurses gave us the the space we needed and helped us each step of the way. Although I hope you never need to, I would certainly recommend brining your fur babies here for any overnight emergency.

They were very accommodating and let me come by immediately for a meet and greet. Paul and Katie were very friendly and reassuring. My dogs took to them and had a blast during the short encounter. So, I boarded my dogs with them for a night the next day. Some things I'd like to highlight is that they have a spacious fenced in yard and a doggie door so the dogs can come and go as they please. My little brats could learn how to be dogs in a pack. Food is included and provided. They provide high quality grain free food that my dogs love and they leave it out so the dogs can graze. This is good if your dog eats when it's hungry. However, my dogs, being puggles, ate non-stop and Paul and Katie had to put the food up. They just fed my dogs like pigeons throughout the day instead. This is something you might want to consider if your dog has special dietary needs and will eat everything in sight. But apart from one of my dogs overeating till his all you can eat buffet was thwarted, all is good. Oh Katie is a nurse and she's able to put eye drops or whatever your dog needs. My dogs are fine, but it's something you might want to consider when picking a boarding place for your dogs. Best part about Just Like Home is that the dogs can go on the furniture and sleep with humans. My dogs lay on Paul and Katie and watched tv and slept with Paul at night. (Sorry, Paul, I know my dogs are walking heat packs.) I'm relieved that my dogs can get the human contact and attention that they crave. I don't have to feel bad that they are crying in a suite at some other boarding place. When I went to pick the dogs up, one of them came up to greet me, then ran back off to play with his friends. He didn't want to leave. The other one is a total momma's boy, so he stayed by me while we tried let the first one know that it was time to go home. Also, the rates here are very reasonable. I'll definitely take my dogs there again if I need to board them while I'm in Jacksonville.

I did a 'get acquainted visit' and my pups were greeted with love by Katie, Paul and they gang'. The true test was leaving them for an overnight. I picked them up this evening and they were too 'busy' playing with the other pups and following Katie around! (Guess they didn't exactly miss mom!). Katie helped my little almost blind AnnieRose learn to use a doggie door and navigate some little steps into the house. Katie is a nurse and she was fabulous about making sure AnnieRose got her eye drops faithfully. I don't think there is a more loving place to leave my little ones. Thank you Katie and Paul - They WILL be back because it is Just Like Home!

I also have two cats and my boy cat needs medication every day. He takes it fairly easy, but you still need somebody who knows what they're doing. So the first visit in the morning is a 45 minute visit the dogs get fed,and they take the time to go outside and really play with the dogs and throw the ball for them and make sure they get their exercise. While they're outside, she came in and gave the cats their wet food and the one his medicine and also cleaned out and checked the litter boxes and the water daily. On either of my first or second day, I got a phone call that there was a lot of blood in the house and one of my cats was bleeding profusely. She sent me a photo and I know the cat had a little red raspberry in that spot and I assume that either he bit it off or it got scratched off. it was quite a bit of blood and it wouldn't stop. Between Dana and Charlotte they took the cat to the vet who numbed the area and did something to stop the bleeding They also knew a Carpet Cleaner who came in the very next day and cleaned my chairs and the carpet. Dana and Charlotte went through and thoroughly cleaned my house because there was blood on the walls, on the floor, and everywhere I can't imagine another pet sitting company going to the degree that they went to to make sure my animals were safe and that my house and furniture was not ruined oh, and every visit I got several photos of each animal, which made me happy as well
