Dog Sitting in DeLand

“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!”

“Maricel was awesome!! I contacted her as the last minute due to my current dog sitter having an emergency and was unable to check on my dog. Maricel responded right away and followed every instruction I gave her to make sure my dog was taken care of. She also kept me updated. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again soon.”

“Emily is the perfect pet caregiver if you should ever need a sitter. She communicated daily and sends pictures so you don’t have to worry about your pet. She has been the best I have worked with. Thank you Emily and Ricky thanks you too.”

“Emilie was great! We booked her for drop-in visits on short notice, and she responded very quickly and communicated very well. During the visits, she took lots of photos, and even offered to clean up a couple messes that the pups made in the house. I’d highly recommend her again for drop in service!”

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.

About: Caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had pets my entire life and understand how much they mean to their families. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. In my local community, I also help care for feral cats by feeding them and humanely trapping them so they can be neutered. This helps keep the population under control and improves their quality of life. It’s something I care deeply about and it reflects how much I value animal welfare. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently retired, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m available most days and times unless I’m already booked, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins that match your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow the routines and instructions provided by each owner so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I take time to build trust with each pet and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, and lots of attention. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they are part of my own family. 🐾

“Savannah is always great when helping us care for our dogs when we are gone! Thank you again!”

About: Genuine love for all animals. I understand like humans, each dog is different and the most important thing I can do is make them comfortable being around me. Gaining their trust is what its all about. Being retired, I am able to set aside my daily routine for any special needs of your pet as it comes up. In most events, I can get to your house on short notice without delay. I have two dogs, a Golden Retriever and an Australian Kelpie. Both are juveniles that know the whole world revolves around them, which of course I accommodate.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. I’m proud to be my family and friends pet sitter and I will treat your baby like it’s my own! I have a lot of experience working with and training dogs of all sizes and ages. Nothing makes me happier than happy dogs! I’m a full time pet caregiver. Your baby will have my attention 24/7! Taking care of dogs is my purpose and I will never let you or your loved ones down. I know how scary it can be leaving your baby and I can assure you they will be safe and happy in my care. I understand that every pet is an individual and my goal is to provide the specific care needed to make sure your baby gets the special attention they need and deserve!

“I was very happy to find Michelle close to downtown DeLand area. She took care of the kitties for a week and was very responsive to them. One is a little standoff-ish and I could see that she was allowing Michelle to get close. That helped me to feel comfortable about leaving them in her care.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for both a dog and a cat. I understand pet behavior, routines, and individual personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to ensure each pet gets consistent, attentive care.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, currently owning a border collie. I have been taking my border collie on bike rides every weekend for around 10 miles for over a year! If you have a dog that has a lot of energy but can not seem to work with walking them daily, I can start bike riding with them if wanted! I can also take them walking and to a place with a big grassy area and play ball or any other activity that they prefer. Ive mainly had more medium sized dogs, though I have been around all kinds and are open to them all. I am currently available weekday mornings and weekends all day. My availability may change as I work from home and will update my schedule accordingly. I follow the client's instructions for their pets and if treats are allowed I would give the pets their needed walk and bathroom breaks as well as affection!

“My dog enjoyed his time with Janiah, and she treated him well!”

“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”
