Doggy Day Care Pierson

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 2017, 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.

“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”

“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! 🐾❤️”

About: I have either owned, cared for, or rescued about every domestic and farm animal there is, as well as many wild animals. I worked as a veterinarian assistant for 4+ yrs and have been a horse horse trainer since the age of 7 and professionally most of my life. I am an entrepreneur at heart and love to take care of animals, house sit. pet sit, etc for additional income. My schedule is totally flexible! I'm an entrepreneur and I make my own schedule. Let me know when you need me and I will do my best to make it work. I live on a 6 acre farm in Bunnell. I have a lot of pets and farm animals that are all good with other animals. But if I was to care for your pets at my home then I would keep them seperated from all of my animals. I a totally seperate dog boarding area with fenced play yard. If caring for your animals at your home I will be respectful of your home and care and love on your animals while you are away.

“Sophie's first visit with Kat - she returned to us relaxed and happy. Kat took her for 3 walks during the day and Sophie behaved better with her than she does with us on the leash. Kat helped Sophie through a little anxiety when an unexpected thunderstorm passed through. We hadn't told her about Sophie's fear of loud noises like gunshots, fireworks, and thunder - but she knew just what to do to help calm her. We're looking forward to another visit next week and more to come. Highly recommend (and the only reason we hesitate to give a glowing recommendations is purely selfish - we don't want y'all to grab all her availability!)”

“Cheryl was absolutely great with our 2 Miini poodles , they enjoy their stay at her beautiful home . When we got there to pick them up they acted like they didn’t want to leave . The pictures she sent were great Thank you Cheryl , we are so happy the dogs enjoy your home and look forward to them staying with you again”

“Lisa was fantastic!! She truly lived up to all of her positive Rover reviews. She welcomed us with a pre-visit to make sure that Tank got to know his surroundings before his actual stay. During his stay she sent lots of fun pictures keeping me updated on his experience with her. I highly recommend Lisa and will definitely choose her to watch Tank again!”

Bill G.

“This was the best experience I have had on this app, Damian was incredible even gave my girl a bath. Sent me all the pictures and videos I could ask for . It truly was a great experience I will definitely be using him again .”

“Olivia was communicative, flexible, and great with my little guy, Bruce (who is a little high maintenance, if I'm being honest). Olivia's own pup, Stella, is absolutely adorable and clearly gets along well with other dogs easily. I will happily bring Bruce back to hang out with Olivia and Stella any time!”

Galia A.

“My pups were well taken care of and had a great time. They were worn out. Id like to take back again soon.”

Bryan P.

“She is fantastic! She’s been doing a wonderful job with my puppy Recon. She’s great with training and updates throughout the day. I will not be using anyone else as I couldn’t have asked for a helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable person to help watch and train my Belgian. Thank you Mckenzy for all you’ve done for us!!!🤗”
