Doggy Day Care Astor Park

“Emily was wonderful today with my four dogs. I have frenchies and a bullmastiff and one of them has a lot of trouble breathing when he is excited. She was able to handle that with ease and then texted me after I left to send an update. Dogs were happy and tired when we got home. Thank you for a good day!”

About: Hi, we’re Samantha & Joel, an experienced multi‑pet caregiver team based in De Leon Springs. We’ve been caring for pets on Rover since 2017, and what started as a side job has turned into work we feel genuinely honored to do. ​ We know handing your keys and your animals to someone else can feel vulnerable. You’re not just paying for walks, litter scoops, or food bowls; you’re choosing who your pets will rely on when you’re not there, and that choice matters to us. ​ Our approach stays consistent and straightforward: no rotating sitters, no rushed care, no random faces. Just familiarize people with your pets so they can get to know and trust them over time. We’re exceptionally comfortable in multi‑pet homes, mixed cat‑and‑dog households, and with anxious or sensitive animals. Between training experience and years of house sitting, we’ve cared for nervous rescues, seniors who need meds, cats who prefer slow, choice‑based interactions, and small or aquatic pets with precise routines. We meet each pet where they are, using structure, enrichment, and patience to reduce stress instead of forcing them to adapt to us. ​ Our families tend to be easygoing, communicative people who want care that’s personal and predictable, not rushed or transactional. If that sounds like you, we’d love to set up a meet-and-greet and start building a routine for your pets. Most requested services: multi‑pet house sitting and cat‑heavy homes. We’re easygoing and communicative, and we’ll always be honest about what we can safely handle. Pet care isn’t a side job for us – it’s part of our weekly rhythm. We live in De Leon Springs and build our schedule around house sitting and drop-ins, especially for families and snowbirds who travel. When we’re caring for pets, they’re our primary focus: meals and meds on time, routines followed, and daily check-ins sent to you. This lets you enjoy your plans without wondering if anything is being rushed or forgotten. We provide a calm, training-informed environment where pets feel safe, understood, and respected. With dog-training experience, we read body language, reinforce routines, and prevent stress through structure, enrichment, and patient introductions. For cats and other species, we take a slower approach. We let them come to us, build confidence at their own pace, and feel secure through consistency. We often recommend multiple drop-ins before long trips, especially for shy or anxious pets, so we’re familiar faces before you leave. Whether we’re doing drop-ins or house sitting, we always do a final check to make sure pets are secure, litter boxes/yards are safe, and everyone has settled comfortably before bed. Safety is never rushed; it’s built through trust and repetition. 🐾 Safe, consistent care designed with training knowledge and emotional comfort in mind.

“Linda was wonderful! We so appreciate her calm and gentle way with pups! Winnie can be a little nervous with new people but Linda was a pro. We will definitely return to Linda and Dickens!”

About: We have had pets my entire life. Presently we have 2 dogs in our home. A senior dog (Walker hound/lab mix), Maximus, and a 5 year old beagle/lab mix, Luna. They love to have company! We have a large, fenced in yard for them to play in all day. Presently my home is available for overnight stays. As long as your dog is other pet friendly, they are welcome! We can accommodate crates also. The fenced in yard is available at all times. But your pet is also welcome in our house. We can use your dog beds or crates also.

“Laurie and Mark were SPECTACULAR!! They took such great care of my Tanner! They also introduced him to new things such as the pool, and chickens! Haha he had a blast playing with their dogs as well! Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Will definitely book with them again!”

“Miss Bee had a great doggy day care with Krista B! Krista sent pics and updates of BeeBee hanging out on the sofa and cooling off in the pool. Thank you, Krista - we're looking forward to our next stay with you.”

“We have used Leon's services multiple times now for our two pups, for both daycare and boarding. Their home is amazing - basically a like a fancy dog park. We also love that Leon and Nick really understand dogs in general. Makes it easy for us to leave our pups with them. Highly recommended!!”

Ken M.

“Highly recommended! Michael and his family took wonderful care of Mambo. His wife was especially great with him, and Mambo became very attached to her, which says a lot about how comfortable and loved he felt. Their children were also very sweet with him. They have a beautiful, spacious home with a nice yard, making it a great place for dogs. I was very happy with Mambo’s care and will definitely use My again. 100% recommended! 🐾❤️”

About: My passion for animals began at a very young age. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the go-to person for family and friends whenever they needed someone reliable to care for their pets. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, especially dogs—whether it's playing with them, going on walks, or grooming them to help them look and feel their best. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your pets. Any day of the week. Your pets will have access to five acres of open space to explore and enjoy during their stay. We have two friendly dogs who love socializing and playing with others. I tailor each pet’s care—including walks, playtime, and crating—based on their individual needs and comfort levels

I’m extremely reliable and will take your dog out as often as needed, making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Alexus was amazing and took great care of Dexter! She was super flexible with the pickup time too. Would definitely recommend her services (and use them again if she’d like to have Dexter). Thank you so much!!”

About: I have been taking care of pets most of my life. Between having many pets in our home such as cats dogs and birds I also have helped those in my neighborhood and other family members care for their pets since I was in high school. I love having animals around! I’m a stay at home mom with two young children. My oldest loves pets and is always wanting more. We love to walk our two dogs around the neighborhood and play in the backyard while the dogs roam around., I have a fenced in yard and a designated space inside the home for animals to be. Regular outside time is given as needed as well as walks and plenty of space if any pups need separation.

About: We come from a loving pet family and love meeting new ones. My name is Mike, my wife is Ruby, and our son Lincoln, who is now in the Navy. We treat our two dogs like children. There are toys all over the house to play with and whenever they are tired they lay on our recliners or couch to sleep. We are able to follow any schedule and can provide medication if needed. Your loved ones will be treated like family ❤️ I will provide hands on care such as playing, walking or anything extra required. There will always be either myself or my wife at home. I work during the week days but my wife Ruby is home during the day. During the weekends we both are home. We have a fenced in yard and a park near by that we can walk to. Our two male dogs are neutered and we will only care for one family's pet(s) at a time.

About: I have cared for domestic pets of all kinds - cats, dogs (all sizes), birds, turtles, lizards, etc - as a sitter and for fun. My aunt (whom my mother lives with) is a dog trainer as well as a breeder (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) 25+ yrs. I grew up volunteering my time doing puppy evaluations, crate-training, potty-training, etc. I frequently babysit my friends pets while they are away, and have cats of my own at the house! I recently resigned my job as a firefighter, and have extra time in my schedule to have a side gig I care about. Walks, hikes, runs and swims if the dog is active! I understand each pet as it’s own needs and individual personalities. I care for other pets as they were my own, and I hope to make a great fit as a sitter for you! I am available 24/7 for pet care (overnight or drop-ins) as I recently resigned from my job to move to FL with my partner. I am currently looking for a full-time job. So call me! I live in an apartment complex with a large, fenced in dog park. It’s location is safe, next to a middle school. We have plenty of empty space to watch pets over night in separate rooms, or let them roam free depending on their personal needs. Additionally, the complex is located next to an outdoor recreation area with walking trails and sidewalks.

“Laura and her son did a great job of sitting my Doodle, they have giant fenced in back yard to accommodate any dogs”

“***** that's 5 more to make 10. Charli and her family-the human and furry kind-far exceeded my expectations! Several videos and updates. She worked hard to help my somewhat new rescue come out of her shell...and was beyond successful! She speaks our language! By the time I got back after 8hrs, Athena was conflicted about whether she wanted to stay or go. She has a gift to be cherished! Thank you!”

“Emillie took the best of care with Prince yet again. He had a blast with his best buddies (her two Goldens), and came home tired and happy. I'm grateful to have Emillie to give Prince the attention and exercise he needs when I have a crazy day of appointments! Instead of a stressful situation, I get a good dog that's snuggly after I've had hard day :)”
