“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.”

“It was my first time leaving my Irish Setter with Linda. I am new to the area and based on her rating reviews I felt she would be a great match. Needless to say I was not disappointed. It appears my Olivia got the best care. I received regular updates and pics. Linda shows genuine love and care for pets under her care. I intend to use her services again in the near future! Thank you! 🐕”

“Amber was the best with our Bruno! She was able to help out last minute and updated us all day with how he was. We’d definitely use her again if we’re in the area!”

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.

“Tanner is a repeat fur missle at Miss Lili’s house and I wouldn’t dream of sending him anywhere else while I am away!! She gives constant updates, photos, and takes care of my lil man just as I would!! Tanner doesn’t particularly like the car, but as soon as we turn down Lili’s street, he gets overcome with emotion and is SO excited to be going to her house!! Can’t say enough great things about her…she truly keeps my mind (and heart) at ease when I can’t be there…and Tanner absolutely adores her!!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire (long) life. Recently lost my sweet Bella and looking to care for your pet in my home. I love dogs and welcome the company. Your dog will have a relaxed calm loving stay. Perfect for anxious dogs or dogs that don't do well with other dogs and need a stressfree environment. Senior dogs welcome. I work at home so am here to care for your fur baby 24/7. I’m very active so if walks or outside time is needed, that’s not a problem. Have had dogs my entire life. I live alone and welcome the company. I currently have no other pets in my home so your dog will have my undivided attention. I’ve had dogs my entire life and welcome the company. Dogs are treated as part of my family and are included in my daily activities.

About: I have taken care of animals in many settings for 15 years. I can care for most species and am very knowledgeable. I worked as an animal care manager at Petco, and have volunteered at multiple animal shelters. I am currently an approved foster/volunteer for Seminole County Animal Services. I am retired military so my schedule is very open. I am looking to build long lasting relationships with clients and their pets to foster a routine and trust. I will arrive promptly to your appointment and try to maintain the routine already established with your pet. It is important to me that your pets need be met in a safe and timely manner.

About: I have been the manager of a doggy daycare & boarding facility for over 12 years near Orlando. Went to college for dog behavior & psychology. Finally bought an acre and moved back to my home town of DeLand recently. I built kennels in a room of my home and am ready to start a boarding business in the town I love. 💜 I have tons of experience in all kinds of dogs from behavioral issues to medical needs and everything in between. I speak dog and have a deep understanding of what they need. My roomate and I work opposite schedules so our dogs are rarely home alone for more than 2 hours. I still currently commute to Orlando everyday to continue my career as the manager of a dog daycare & boarding facility. If your dog needs to come to work with me I can easily accommodate. I have an acre of property with a fully fenced yard. In my spare bedroom I built 7 4ft kennels to feed your dogs separately as well as accommodate any anxiety, destruction, or females in heat. I have super social boxers and a chihuahua mix that will run your dogs out of energy.

“Mia is the absolute best! She is so sweet and attentive to my Lucy. She adores her, her husband, and her dog Tito! As someone who works super long shifts and needs help often I can’t say enough how much I appreciate her and her services. I 10/10 recommend her for anyone’s needs.”
