Doggy Day Care in DeLand

“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!”

“Levi had a great experience staying with them. He got to socialize with the other animals and we were kept informed about how his days were going. We look forward to continuing to use them as a sitter for our fur baby.”

“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!”

“I’m so happy we found Leon to care for our teddy while we are away. He was friendly, caring, and very prompt with communication. The house was nice, tidy and easy to find. I could tell that my dog was happy to be there. Thanks so much. Teddy & Divina”

All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including Bordetella) and flea/tick preventative. All adult dogs need to be spayed or neutered.

I am a friendly, down to earth person that LOVES dogs I will provide quality and loving care for your furbaby! Hi, my name is Kathy Smith. I am originally from Pennsylvania and moved to Florida in 1981 when I enrolled in Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I met a Florida boy and never left Florida. We got married in 1985 and started our family. We raised 2 boys and now our furbabies are our at-home kids 😊 My husband and I have always been animal lovers and at one time had quite a “farm” going with horses, a pot-bellied pig, goat, cats and, of course, many dogs. After going "furbaby-less" for a few years, in 2018, we brought home our first Siberian husky, Rusty, a chocolate red, wooly. Well, huskies are like Lays potato chips...you cannot just have only one. Rusty has brought so much joy to our lives. Therefore, in 2019 we added another husky to our family. Koda, is such a unique boy. He is an Agouti and, in the beginning, it was like having a different dog every month as he went thru his color changes. Well, 3 is better than 2, right?? After being on a waiting list for 2 years, May 2021, we added Oakley to our pack. He is a black and white pie-bald. They each have their own unique personalities! Rusty is scared of my sneezes :) Koda demands belly rubs and Oakley is like a cat, sleeping on the back of the couch. My reason for becoming a dog sitter is quite simple…to provide quality, loving care for dogs while being away from their owners. A few years ago, we needed to board our boys and couldn’t find a place that we trusted to watch our “kids” while we were away. We ended up driving them to our breeder located 1 ½ hours away. We did not feel comfortable with boarding facilities located on a busy road. Our resort, country setting is the perfect location for your baby to spend vacation. For 16 years, I owned my own business, building custom water features and creating paradise one yard at a time. This required me to be away from the house every day. Now I spend everyday home with my furbabies!! I have retired from building water features and am now a full time "Dog Mom". Since, I dog sit full time, I am home with the dogs all day. We go outside to play throughout the day in our large fenced in yard. Then, relax in the house. Let me take care of your best friend! Whether it's for the day, while you work or multiple days for vacation, rest easy knowing that your dog will have the absolute best care during their stay. I will spoil your furbaby as if he/she is my own! All pups must be crate trained for their safety. Your furbaby will have free range of the house, but must be in a crate while unsupervised. From time to time, I will need to leave the house to run errands and all pups will spend some downtime napping in a crate. Overnight stays will require sleeping in a crate. We have three Siberian Huskies and know that they tend to be escape artists. Our property is completely fenced in. In addition, the doggy yards have additional fencing. Therefore, we have a double fenced yard. We take every precaution to keep all pups within the doggy yards, but, in the event that a Houdini escapes, we have a perimeter fence to contain them. For this reason, our gates stay closed at all times. When you are dropping off or picking up, we will open the gate for you to drive into the property. We offer curbside service at the front door for drop off and pick up. We are very experienced with huskies. Our boys (Rusty, Koda & Oakley) are very friendly and love dogs of all breeds and sizes. Rest assured that your furbaby will fit in and have the best vacation during their stay here.

“Emillie is a dream pet sitter! This was my 5 month old Golden's first time being away from me. I had more anxiety than him, but Emillie put my mind at ease from the initial meeting through the day, and at pick up! Of everyone communicated as well as Emillie, this world would be a better and less confused place. Emillie kept me updated about every half hour with how Prince was doing, and I got wonderful photos too, which made me laugh and relax at the same time. At pick up, my boy was happy to see me but totally comfortable with Emillie snuggling him goodbye and he just laid down on the driveway, relaxed, tired, and happy while we talked about our next drop off. Emillie's two Goldens are beautiful and very healthy and happy. Her house is clean and well set up for dogs. I couldn't be happier and neither could Prince. I'm thrilled to have a go-to that's close by when my daughter has away games or whenever I need to be gone for longer periods of time and can't take my puppy.”

“Alice is the best! This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that I chose Alice. It was great doing a meet-n-greet to make sure our dog was a fit with Alice & her pup. I got lots of updates and pictures of our little Peanut throughout the day. It's also great to see how many times he was walked, fed, peed and pooed during the sitting. It put me at such ease to know that Peanut was in good hands and had a good time. Alice took care of him like he was one of her own. We will definitely book with Alice again!”

“Amber and her son were great. We dropped out 4 month old pup off and got pictures and video throughout his few hour stay. He was worn out when we picked him up and likely to sleep the 8 hour drive home. He enjoyed the big fenced in back yard and her home was convenient for drop off and pick up from I-4. We hope to use Amber again and recommend her!”
