Dog Sitting De Leon Springs

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, from watching Steve Irwin on Animal Planet to raising my own furr babies. I love getting outdoors and spending time with my animals whether it be on a simple walk or taking the dogs swimming. My wife and I are avid travelers and I know what its like to wonder how your pet is doing at home. I want to give that reassurance to pet owners that their animal is being loved and in good, responsible hands so they can travel with peace of mind and enjoy their own adventure away from home. Feel free to ask about your reptile pets too! Currently no full time obligations, I have no set schedule typically allowing a lot of time freedom and flexibility with proper notice. I am able to work with most schedules. Every animal is most comfortable in their own home and I like to extend that comfortability with my presence. I try to spend my time with the animals doing what they enjoy most, whether it be fetch or just cuddling on the couch to make them feel safe. Every pet is different and that's why verbal guidance from the owner is so vital in making a perfect atmosphere for an animal while its owner is away.

“Katie was great with our girl Zoey! She kept in touch, sent pictures, and even brought her a toy after Zoey annihilated all of hers. Will definitely request to use Katie again on our next trip!”

About: My name is Kaylean and I have been working with dogs since end of 2021. I have worked in different fields such as dog daycare, dog training/socialization, pet sitting, and at a shelter environment. I have experience with all kinds of different breeds of dogs and pets, and have 4 working dogs of my own. I currently have an Australian Koolie, Border Collie, Dutch Shepherd, and a foster Malinois. I plan on adding another Koolie hopefully this year, as I enjoy doing dog sports with my current Koolie and am looking for another sog sport partner. I love every kind of dogs, but my heart 100% belongs to herding breeds. I enjoy having dogs who love to play, explore, and engage for fun training. I have raised bottle fed kittens, foster here and there if one so happens to need my help. Currently, I work at a dog enrichment and socialization camp. During my free time when I am not working, I often spend it with my dogs. We often go on loads of adventures to the beach, dog sports, hiking trails, or even to lounge at a dog friendly restaurant. I still end up with lots of spare time and would love to fill it with spending time with other animals, especially since I can own only so many dogs and animals at once 😆 I love to build relationships with my clients and their furry animals, and give other owners that peace of mind when having to leave your companion. Dogs Boarding in my home: I live in a house with a fenced in yard and all my dogs get along with other animals. If the pup is capable, owner has approved permission, and the dog does not have high training needs in public, then occasionally may be taken on a nice walk on a trail. This would be discussed with any owner prior to doing so. Off switch (a dog able to settle) is needed to be in our home to keep the flow of things smooth. A dog who is crate trained is also acceptable, and any questions on this I am more than happy to answer. The speed of any dog integrated into my pack will depend on the individual dog, a more shy or timid dog would slowly be introduced to my dogs one by one with a short walk in our neighborhood without interaction. The pup would have its own space until it is comfortable to move on to meeting the dogs more formally. Dogs more socially open would have a faster integration. Drop In Visits (In Owners own home): An update will be sent for every visit along with at least one photo update of your pet. Rules and instructions given by owner will be strictly followed, unless something different is discussed upon me and the owner of said pet. Any accidents or messes will be cleaned up best as possible, as well as telling the owner of any incidents. Any area of the home that I have access to will be made sure to be kept clean (any outdoor debris, food crumbs, etc). If requested by owner, dogs will receive short walks. Communication will be open and honest no matter the circumstance. Your pets well being is my top priority.

“Mais was great! Took good care of my kitty and sent photos every day ?”

About: Hi! I was born into the animal rescue field, I was trained at a young age how to handle all types of animals, how to train them and treat them medically. I'm well versed in the medical aspect of pet caring and mental care. I can give oral and injectable meds. I've raised many puppies who have been adopted, pet sat hundred's of dogs and would love the opportunity to care and sit for yours as well. I have 2 very friendly dog who loves playmates. We also have 2 cats and 2 kids who are very good around animals. We require a meet and greet for all dogs except puppies under 6 months. All dogs over 6 months who stay with us need to spayed or neutered and up to date on rabies flea and tick meds. If choosing us, during a meet and great we will have you bring your dog(s) into our yard where we will have you meet one of our two dogs. If cat testing is needed we can do that on our patio. We don’t allow clients in our home for safety purposes. For drop off and pick up please contact us from the driveway and we will come out to retrieve your pet(s) and their items. This has proven to be best for all the animals with acclimating. When providing food for your pet it is preferred if you baggie up each meal separately to make meal times easier. Dogs must be dog friendly as this is a full time business and we can’t guarantee your pet(s) will be the only ones here unless previously discussed and will incur additional fees. Please consider us for your next pet sitting need no job is to big! We will even do some pet training if need be. I am a stay at home mom, besides the typical trip to the grocery store or a trip to a play ground or random doctors appointment we are home a lot and would be with your pet giving he or she tons of love. Your pet will be treated like one of the family’s. Belly rubs and kisses are free. My yard is fenced and dog proof. If they need to be crated I always recommend bringing your own because they are more comfortable but one can be provided. Dogs get accompanied outside for potty breaks as much as needed and desired. Fresh water is always available and theres always a comfy spot for a nap. Dog’s will never be left unattended around the children or other dogs in the home. The whole house is set up and equipped for dog sitting.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past 4 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I can also help with basic care, senior pets, medication reminders, and keeping pets active and happy throughout the day. I am currently working part time so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule and make sure pets get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to keeping pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I have a secure fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and enjoy outdoor time under supervision. I also have two friendly dogs and a cat who are comfortable around other animals, helping create a welcoming and social environment. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for while in my home.

About: I’ve grown up caring for pets of all kinds dogs, cats, and even hamsters, giving them daily love, attention, and care. Recently, I can manage multiple dogs at once while keeping them happy, safe, and well behaved. I enjoy spending time with animals and provide hands on care including feeding, walking, playtime, and following routines. You can trust me to treat your pets like family. I work during the night as a cleaning tech. My mornings are free. I have no kids. I’m responsible and love animals. I like talking with animals they never judge lol. I live in an apartment complex but it has beautiful grass areas we can walk around, bonus it has a small dog park where we can play without leash. And at my home I have no kids and no pets of my own. I recently lost my hamster Huburt after three years. So all my attention will go to your pet.

About: I’ve had dogs of all breeds and sizes since childhood. I have two weenies of my own and have dog sat for friends and family all my life with the occasional cat sit. With play time, teaching them simple tricks, and lots of love and belly rubs, what pup wouldn’t want a new friend to hang out with? My availability can be discussed privately, however, I am currently a stay at home mom looking to fill up some time to watch and walk your pup! A drop in visit to go out, feeding time, or a nice walk are my main services and preferably in the comfort of your home. As a tenured sitter, I find they are more comfortable in their own home when making a new friend like me!

About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home and pet sit over the summer full time at home. I have sat for over 10 families over a few months. I am currently not working a permanent job so I am able to stay with pets for longer amounts of time. I am also more than happy to stay with pets overnight. I am flexible with care. Of course, I will feed them, let them out, and shower them with love. but I am happy to take them out on walks or anything else they need.

I like to be signed off by 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM. Depends on what's going on. My dog comes in and out quite often. I don't have a doggy door yet. As long as the weather is cooperating, I don't mind if she and other dogs are out roaming the backyard or relaxing on the patio (enclosed).

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had anywhere between 2 to 4 dogs in my life. When I was younger, I would always help my sister with dog grooming jobs as a way to help me make some more money and learn independence at the age of 12. I loved the experience with all the different dogs and just the joy of taking care of them. Even now at 21 I still take part it watching pets for my family and friends. I love the fact that I am able to provide the animal with the love and care they need. This experience is truly meaningful to me since it’s been apart of my life for so long. i’m currently a part-time sales associate in the Daytona Beach Tanger outlets, my hours are pretty consistent. I work Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays, Fridays and Saturdays, I work anywhere between 8 AM to 5 PM. Sundays are the days that are little irregular, I can work anywhere from 8 AM to about 7:45 PM. I am also a full-time college student at Stetson University located in Deland, Florida. I have classes on Monday through Thursday and Mondays and Wednesdays along with Tuesdays and Thursdays are consistent schedules for example, Mondays and Wednesdays.

While my school schedule may look like a lot I do have frequent amounts of time that I can use to take care of your pets between classes. I will first and foremost follow your guidelines and suggestions for how I should care for your pet. I’m very patient. I believe that maintaining a routine is core for keeping your pet happy. I will make sure your pets are happy and content while you’re gone.

“Thanks for you help with Coco. It was a difficult choice to leave her alone, we felt comfortable leaving her in your hands... it made us worry less especially since she was on medication. We will definitely keep you in mind for future services”

About: Hi there! My name is Chelsea and I am an experienced and trustworthy pet sitter. I am a law school student and I am looking to care for your beloved pets while I attend school. I have cared for animals of all kinds. I am very experienced with cats as well as all different dog behaviors and temperaments. I work great with all dogs and even those shy dogs, aggressive dogs, old dogs, and little puppies. Size and age are no issue for me! I am very relatable and patient with animals and trustworthy and reliable with you. I currently have 2 puppies at home and I treat all dogs as if they were also my own. I would love to talk with you more regarding your fur baby’s needs!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years. I absolutely adore them and know that finding good care can be hard (I own a cat myself). I know animals are social and need daily stimulation. I want to help as many people as I can while I save up for college. I’m on my final stretch of high school and plan on attending college in the fall. I’m wearing all the hats I can this summer to save up some money for tuition costs and books. Sadly I cannot bring a lot of animals into my own home but I promise to respect your living space when I visit yours. I’ll make sure every door is lock and I’ll make sure your pets are always safe and healthy once I arrive and before I leave.

“Our dogs LOVE Erin and so do we! My husband and I went away for the weekend and we came home to happy, healthy, freshly washed puppies with big smiles on. Erin was amazing and we would use her again a million more times. She sent us pictures and videos of our dogs having a great time, gave them a bath when they had too good of a time in the mud, and washed the towels she used to dry them off so we didn't have to when we got home. She went way above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend her. THANK YOU ERIN!”
