“Lucy was excited to go to Emily's for doggy daycare and that put a lot of relief in me. I know Lucy is well taken care of and definitely a lot calmer when she comes home. Thank you Emily!”

“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! 🐕”

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.

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 2016, 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.

“Having Leon care for Captain during late hours so we can enjoy an outing and not worry about my special needs pet removes all my worries and allows me to relax into our activities without that little voice wondering if Captain is ok. Anyone who faces similar concerns can know that they can go enjoy life and their pet will be enjoying time with Leon with calm and love and attention until you arrive. Thank you, Leon!”

About: I love helping friends and families with all of their animal-care needs. I have experience with livestock, dogs, cats, and more. I'm happy to board at our house. We live on 3 acres and we are totally fenced in. I am a mother to two kids and we homeschool, so we are home and available as often as needed to help. No pet will be left bored or lonely! I'm happy to drop by and walk your pet from your home. Even better, we can board here at our home where your pet can be one of the family! We have 3 acres fenced in and plenty of room to play.

About: I am a devoted pet enthusiast with a heart as big as my love for dogs. For over a decade, I've immersed myself in the world of canine care, cherishing every wagging tail and sloppy kiss along the way. My passion for our furry friends knows no bounds, spanning across all ages and breeds. With a gentle touch and unwavering patience, I have honed my skills as a dog trainer, guiding numerous pups through obedience training and behavioral challenges. Whether it's teaching a rambunctious puppy to sit or helping an older dog master new tricks, I approach each furry student with compassion and understanding. I am a teacher but after work hours my life revolves around my dogs. I have 2 friendly Belgian Malinois ready to play if your pet would like. If not I am more than happy to crate and rotate. I am more than happy to come into your home and pet sit for you if your dog would do better at home. During the summer this will be my full time job so your dog will hardly ever be alone. I am more than happy to play and walk them whenever they would like and offer them lots of cuddles.

“Lili took my almost last minute, same-day request as we were trying to go see the manatees in blue Springs State Park. We drove all the way from Texas. We drove all the way from Texas to Miami and then to Orlando. We wanted to come out and do some things and didn’t know where to leave our dogs. They are a little tough, a little athletic and energetic and Lily made sure that they spent an amazing time with her. She’s really close to the blue Springs State Park area, so that’s convenient. She has a huge backyard with beautiful doggy pictures, green grass, dog toys, space to run in a fenced secure space, shade, and even doggy houses. She provides water and treats. She has a clean big space, a beautiful home, and you can just sell that she actually likes dogs, so nice and kind; she has space for many dogs, but she can leave them separated for you which I think it’s great, particularly for our slightly reactive great pyr/golden mix, while still tiring out our unimpressed-by-everything husky-malamute. She also sent us pics and updates every step of the way. She spoke Spanish as well, which was a super plus cause our dogs are actually Hispanic. this was the first time ever that we left our dogs under the care of someone else, we’ve never done that before and it was the best experience ever. we were able to go see the manatees and explore Orlando without any worries. Lily was definitely the best and we are hoping to come back for spring break with our dogs, knowing that she can take care of them. She gave us some leash add- on as we were leaving when she noticed we were struggling with ours as well! Thanks Lili!!”

About: Hi! I’m a mom and a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life. I truly have a heart for dogs and believe they deserve a safe, loving, and fun environment while their owners are away. I enjoy spending time playing with them, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, patience, and supervision. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Someone will always be home. I work part time and my husband works from home. Latest pickup time we accept is 9pm unless arranged beforehand. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore, as well as a covered patio where they can relax and enjoy the fresh air. Whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, I'll do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and following their usual routine.

“I don’t know how I could add to the reviews, except to say you can believe every great comment. Scout is a very energetic strong puppy. I can see with the photos and video that he had a blast today. I might have to wake him up for dinner. He’s sideways on the couch! Thanks Krista”

“My dog spent the day with Emillie and had a great time! Communication was clear, and I got updates throughout the day. I felt confident my pup was in good hands!”

“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! 🐾❤️”

“Magnolia was very prompt in responding and easy to work with. She took great care of my boy for my day away. Very pleased with the details of Rocco’s day and the cute snapshots of him enjoying the big spacious yard. I would definitely recommend and use her again!”
