Dog Sitters in Lake Helen, FL

Kathy at Tropical Paws Resort took care of my 3 dogs for 2 weeks while we vacationed in Alaska. She is now my go to sitter and I won’t schedule my vacations until I know that she is available! The care she provides is top notch! She is very friendly and has the best personality! Her resort is set up perfectly for my dogs! They are very comfortable there and have such a wonderful time! I think they like staying at her place more than mine because they always come out to greet me when I pick them up and then want to go back with her! 😊 She sends lots of pictures throughout the stay and it makes us happy to see our dogs have so much fun! Do yourself and your dogs a favor and book with her! You won’t be disappointed and your dogs will come home happy and tired from lots of playtime with her sweet pups!

If you want to know how it feels to leave your beloved pet, go out of town, and completely relax without worry, then Tropical Paws is right for you! The love and attention shown to our pet, and the updates we receive make it so easy to leave our sweet dog. She is so happy at Tropical Paws, and she pouts when we take her home because she misses the other dogs and Kathy, the caregiver. The property is perfect for dogs and very well secured, we don't worry about our dog getting out or running away. Kathy treats our dog like family.

Kim has been taking care of our two kitties for years. We love Kim and more importantly, our kitties love her. We never worry when we are out of town. Kim is dependable, caring and attentive. And some of the best photos of our kitties have been taken by Kim during her visits. You will be very happy with Kim's services. We are so glad we found her!

Kim is wonderful! She watches over my two cats often and I can always trust that they’ll be happy and safe. She goes above and beyond to make sure the litter box area stays clean, and she provides details about every visit through the app she uses. Thank you Kim!

Kim is amazing! She went above and beyond for my malinois, Zara. She sent text and photo updates each visit, and I was able to feel at peace on my trip knowing Zara was taken care of. Thanks to Kim, Zara was calm and happy when we arrived back home. :)

Kim and Debora are fantastic! They were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared for my pet. My dog seemed so happy and well-cared-for upon my return. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!

We love Kim and her associate Dean! They take such wonderful care of our pets. I love the communication we receive about their visits and the cute photos they capture. My dog and cat love them so much and I have such peace when I am away for my babies being cared for! We are new to the area in the last year and feel as if we hit the jackpot with Furrbabies!

Kim does a fantastic job taking care of our pets. She send daily updates of how each was doing, including pictures, and confirmed each completed appointment in her app. She was easy to communicate with, friendly, and clearly cared for my dogs and cat. It was comfortable leaving Kim in charge of their well being.

We couldn’t have been happier with the service we received. Kim and Debora were fantastic. There’s a difference between “thinking” about your pets and “worrying” about your pets when you travel. We didn’t have to worry about them at all. The app, visit updates, and pictures were so cool. Highly recommend.

Kim and her associate, Christine, have taken such wonderful care of my two dogs! I love that they keep me updated on how the pups are doing and send pictures during their visits. I feel so at ease knowing my pups are in good hands while I’m away. I highly recommend Kim if you’re looking for a pet sitter!

I had the best experience with Kim! My dogs took to her quickly and she was wonderful with them. She let me know when she was arriving and leaving from each visit and sent pictures with updates so I knew how they were doing. She’s professional, responsive and made everything very easy for me. I’m so glad to have found someone I can trust with my pets and in my home and would recommend her to anyone!

Kim is outstanding! One of our two elderly cats is diabetic, and Kim comes twice a day to give him his injections when we are away. She sends pictures at each visit, and sends updates about the kitties. She cleans up their messes, leaving everything immaculate when we return. It’s great to know our pets are loved and well cared for when we’re gone. The cats love her, and I highly recommend her!

Our minnie Aussie has been going there for 4 years. He loves it there and the staff.

First time boarding Dexter & it went great! He was happy when we picked him up & they even gave him a bath. We won’t be looking any farther, found our place!

My dog absolutely loves this kennel! He hates riding in the car unless I tell him we are going to Party Animals. Then, he jumps right in the car

My Dane, Molly loves it here. If you tell her she's going to see her puppy friends, she gets so excited and runs to get her leash. The staff are absolutely amazing and truly love dogs.

Thanks for making my girls feel like they are in a home and not a cage. Always come home clean and tired. They love to swim in pools. And lets not forget the birthday party for Maggi. Priceless

Our pup Kennedy loves going and playing with all her fur friends. The staff is amazing and the owner too. We have been using them for over a year now for short and long stays. We trust them with her, and the love and attention they show all the pups is amazing. They throw parties for birthdays and holidays it's awesome for them and the pups. They get to run free and interact, and Kennedy loves that! Can't thank them enough for always having room for her ♥️

I trust my dog to them for 10 days at a time. At $30-40 per night, food included, and the love the owners give your dog...you can't find a better value in the DeLand area. I've used them 6 times in the last three years with zero issues. My dog especially loves playing in the pool!!!

My GSD loves Party Animals! 🥳 He is loved and cared for while enjoying playtime with his dog friends! 🐕 After 17 months, he still gets very excited to go! The staff is personable, friendly & he loves them dearly! Thank you Party Animals her helping him feel so comfortable and happy! …

I have three dogs and I went to check out the facility after a terrible experience at another boarding facility. I was wanting to be impressed, and I was. I couldn't be more pleased, The pricing was great, and I absolutely love the no cages. I love how they can play together, and not be confined. Someone is always there. Huge difference from picking them up here versus the last boarding facility. They were so happy and carefree. The staff seems so genuine and caring. I have found my home away from home for my babies

Used many times. Some minor issues in the past. But still trustful enough to be my one and only boarding for Titus.

Ashley has watched Rex for 2 years now & counting (since we've moved to FL). That was the best decision I've ever made!! I cannot recommend Central Florida Complete Critter Care enough!! Ashley & her team have gone ABOVE & BEYOND!! Not only have I found someone that loves my dog more than me, but have also found someone that provides MORE loving care & attention for him too!! We are BOTH so grateful that we found Central Florida Complete Critter Care & you will too!!

I have peace of mind when Ashley comes to take care of Zeeva. & Bryson. She tells me about the visit and sends several photos so I can see how they are. I HIGHLY recommend Central Florida Complete Care, Pet Sitting and Dog Walking.

I highly recommend Ashley & her mom with Central Florida Complete Critter Care, Pet Sitting and Walking! Our two cats Kahn and Egon love when they come by and give them all the pets and love while we are away. The updates and multiple photos we receive help put us at ease that our cats are in great hands! Thank you for always going above and beyond for our babies!

We used this company to look after our 3 cats in our home while we traveled out of state for a week. Their website was very easy to use to provide details about our cats and instructions on how to care for them. I was also able to request our desired dates for catsitting and pay our invoice through the website. Ashley did a great job caring for our pets and sent us daily updates through text. Our cats are very shy but she was still able to take pictures of them to send us, which gave me peace of mind that they were doing well. We have an unusual setup at home with specific instructions on how to feed the cats, and Ashley did everything perfectly. She also brought in the mail for us and kept feeding and litter areas clean. This company and Ashley are spectacular and I would 100% trust them with my home and fur babies again. If you live in the area, I would highly recommend using this service to care for your pets for any needs.

Great communication, pictures, and follow up including phone app so you know when they are with your pets. A1 care from a family company who are trustworthy animal loving people who care for your pet. I have scheduled and used their expertise pet sitting, feeding and walking services since Oct 2022 and they always make sure they can calendar you in so your pets are well taken care of. Always care, give time, feeding and loving to our doodle, lab and poodle. Thank you!

I feel very comfortable going out of town knowing my fur babies will be well cared for. Ashley is caring and let's me know j how they're doing with pictures and video. I am very happy with their service!

Ashley and Anna were so good to our cats while we were on vacation. Our little "kiddos" got the loving care they needed and were able to be comfortable at home and not lonely. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

This is a fantastic company with loving and caring professionals that treat your pets with love. They are very reliable, and their communication is top notch. You don't have to worry about your pet being in good hands. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Ashley and her team are amazing! Being able to leave our pets in the comfort of their own home was a top priority when we went on vacation. After meeting Ashley and her team we knew they were the ones to help us out. We so appreciated them sending us pictures and videos of our pets during each visit. If you need this service, look no further! They are the “angels” you need to save the day! We will definitely be using their services again in the future!

I can’t thank Kelly and her team enough for being our pet sitters when we are out of town! We have used them twice and they have been there for us and our pups! Their communication is amazing and you get lots of updates with pictures and videos. Our last request was a few days before leaving and Ashley was there to take on 5 animals for us. We are so thankful!

We recently moved to the New Smyrna Beach area and feel so blessed to have found Bark n Purr Kennels for our 10 year old Rottie. The staff is wonderful, giving great attention and care to their boarders. The grounds and facility are immaculately kept. We recommend them wholeheartedly !

Our pups Aurora and Tatum had the best time!!! They stayed for about a week and this is the first time we picked them up from boarding and they weren’t acting weird!! They had a blast and Bark N Purr Kennels even bathed them before we picked them up!! Most amazing experience and we will be back!!!

Just boarded my pug at Bark N Purr kennels for the last week and he didn't want to come back home with me! Matt the new owner took me on a tour of the facilities and made sure my dog had everything he needed and more. The have 2 huge yards for the dogs and I especially loves the runs with the outside area. I follow the instagram account and they posted pictures of the dogs each day which I thought was a lovely touch. It was great to see my dog happy and having fun whilst I was on vacation. It was a bargain price for the area without reducing the care and attention they receive. I think my dog is looking forward to my next trip so he can spend another week at Bark N Purr! Thank you Matt and Bailey!

I had my border collie boarded for 5 days.. I would like to give this place another chance but honestly I’m unsure I would feel comfortable doing that. I wanted to believe this place was nice, it’s affordable and is on a nice property.. that’s about it.. the company lacks communication and reliability. I called multiple times before tropical storm Debbie came by and no one answered the phone, so I was completely upset for a couple of days not knowing if my dog would be okay..I called and called before and after and no one picked up the phone, the only time I got someone to answer was after I called 5 times and was 10 minutes away..I had finally got an answer, I asked for the total of boarding and she told me $133 on the phone. Got to the place and no one was at the desk, it said to call if no one was there, called three times, waited about 10-15 minutes before anyone came to the desk. This guy came to the desk, asked how long we were waiting we told him 10-15 minutes and then he proceeded to say “oh that’s not that bad”. He then told us a different total which was more than what I was told. The guy didn’t argue with me and fixed it which honestly I appreciated. Other than that.. I don’t know what happened, we requested 5-6 days of boarding and 3 frozen kongs(at check in) but it appears she only got one, I didn’t request a bath or trim but she ended up smelling like she got a bath and also got a trim. ( I dont mind but it wasn’t expected, I don’t let other people groom my dog, except for the groomer I have her set up with. She was due for a groom after we got back..) When we picked her up she has been acting absolutely crazy, and flinches when we go to pet her, nipping at us.. she isn’t the same.. I don’t know what happened but when we got her back she was has been different since. It’s unfortunate, but I’d have to see major improvements for me to come back.

Thank you to all the staff for taking great care of our greyhound Fancy Pants. Special thanks to Rachel who went the extra mile to sit with our nervous doggy. This a wonderful place that you can trust to take care of your canine family member. Thanks again everyone!

Booked here last minute and they accommodated. We chose this place because of the great rating and reviews. Great service and communication when i had questions. Great prices. Already requested booking there again in December.

The owner, and employees of Bark N Purr Kennels have always come through for us. They go above and beyond to accommodate our boys Bear and Shadow. I wouldn’t trust any one else with our boys. We recently have had to use their services again due to a home renovation. Needing longer stays with last minute notice. The staff have gone out of their way to help us mange the care of our boys, and we are so grateful. Larissa & Tyler thank you for looking out for us and our boys Bear and Shadow. Thank you to the owner as well for allowing us to have peace of mind while separated from our boys for these long stretches of time. My husband Bill & I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Just boarded Lola here for the second time & both stays were great experiences. Lola was calm & happy when she returned to us. I loved the photo they posted of her on Facebook showing she was having a great time during her stay.

Bark N Purr Kennels is fantastic! Brooke and the rest of the staff always take great care of our quirky Daisy doodle! Brooke takes the time to play with Daisy and since she can be shy, Brooke goes the extra mile to make sure our pup is comfortable and happy 😊 We love Bark N Purr! …

I'm adding to my review from last year because within the past year Bark N Purr came under new ownership. The new owners are as wonderful as the previous owners. We drive almost an hour to take our dog there. Mario is especially attentive and understands it's not always easy to leave our 4-legged family behind. I highly recommend Bark N Purr. Paula and the guys are great. We've been taking our dogs here for boarding for more than four years. Paula also does a great job with grooming. I highly recommend Bark n Purr.

We have been boarding with A Place for pets for many years. Best feeling to know your pet is being well taking care of. I highly recomend.

Absolutely feel safe boarding my dog there. Very friendly staff very clean facility.. they were very thorough on the intake questions to make sure all of his needs were met. And to top it off he received a bath before coming home. Just a awesome environment for any fur baby

Crystal & Gwen were amazing! Our dog had a few 'day care' visits, before a great stay this past week. Thank you for taking such good care of our Bella :)

Edit to update that crystal truly loves animals, you have to give them a call to really get the full experience of how a boarding place should take care if your fur babies. They continue to amaze me on how much they care!!! My pets love this place and the owner Crystal and Gwen. They always take sick good care of them.

For several years, now, we've always taken our dogs here for boarding. They're amazing and my boy is always so excited to go there! I can always tell that he's loved, and that he loves them. That peace of mind is priceless! We've added a parrot to our family and boarded him this time as well. There was a price misunderstanding, and the owner called me personally to clear everything up. She was extremely helpful, courteous, and professional. I highly recommend them for any pet family member, without hesitation!

We've been taking our dog to this kennel for 4 years. Good people that really care for your pet. Our dog dances and howls with joy when she arrives. Highly recommend and great price for the exceptional care provided. Wouldn't ever consider another place for our dog.

They do a great job taking care of my dog Lola. She is happy to stay for a few days when I have to go out of town and is always in good spirits when I pick her up. They really show a lot of love and attention to all the animals.

Take my dog for day care. Gives him a chance to play with other dogs for the entire day. If I go to a dog park there may not be any other dogs. The place is spotless inside and large grass area to play. Not open every day. I take my dog every thursday.

Place for Pets provides peace of mind for me, knowing my dog is safe and well cared for. Personalized attention that goes above and beyond makes Place for Pets our go to for daycare and boarding. My dog loves the staff and comes home tired and happy!

Had a dog that has stayed here multiple times. He always comes back upset, scared and won't eat his food. My little sister had also witnessed them being rude to my dog and pulling him across the floor and making mean comments when she came to pick him up, not realizing that she could see them. He has come home with Kennel Cough and bumps on his face. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt because he is a young and energetic dog, which can sometimes be a lot to handle. After our last visit we are questions our return.

Kim, Erin and Kristin could not have given better care than what they did. I had an emergency with my cat while I was out of town and they totally took care of everything so I didn't have to worry. I would definitely use them again and would strongly urge anybody else looking for a pet sitter to give them a try also. Five stars all around!

If you want peace of mind while you're away from home or if you need a helping hand, call Furbabies pet care! Their team of qualified, caring and certified sitters are prompt, loving and very communicative. They follow every detail you need and go above and beyond to let you know your furbaby is safe and happy. I trust them explicitly and appreciate their quick responses. They are so easy to work with and very flexible. I highly recommend!

Used the for the first time and couldn’t be happier. The visit updates gave us peace of mind and we were thrilled to see our dogs happy during the visits. The app makes it easy to schedule, communicate and pay. We love the variety with the options for visits so that we can choose the time lenght that best fits our needs. Will definitely continue to use them.

So happy to have found them! I just needed a drop in this time, but it gave me peace of mind not having to worry about rushing home to let the pupper out to potty. Wonderful people and affordable prices. They were so thorough with their visit and I even received a bunch of pictures! I will definitely be using them from now on.

Kim did an amazing job taking care of my pets. She sent picture confirmations of each visit, marked them as completed in her system, sent me notifications, and communicated how each pet was doing. There's a level of comfort to having Kim take care of your furry friends.

Kim and her crew are always so wonderful with my cats while I'm on vacation. When my dad would visit with his senior dog they were great with short notice dog walking. They have great rates and easy online scheduling. They always send updates while you are away and take care to note any changes or potential issues. They really care about your fur kids and it shows. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for in home pet services.

I have been using Fur Babies for several years. Kim is amazing! She takes great care of my dog and 3 cats! I love how she sends pictures and texts after each visit , it helps my anxiety when we are not home. I know my dog Paige looks forward to her time when Kim comes to hang out with her! Thank you Kim for all you do!

Kimberly is absolutely the best! She takes care of our fish and also our 16 year old rescue kitty. Our cat, who usually won't let anyone else touch her LOVES Kimberly! She allows pets, chin rubs, tummy rubs, and brushing from Kimberly, and purrs the entire time! Kimberly sends pics and texts after each visit so we're able to see how happy our senior kitty is! Kimberly is extremely reliable, trustworthy, and professional. We feel confident and at ease when we know Kimberly is providing her special care for our feline and fish pets when we're away from home!

Furbabies is amazing! It's hard to leave your pet behind, but we no longer have to worry. Their care goes above and beyond. We love the detailed updates and pictures on the mobile app after the visits. It's so easy to get in contact with the owner (who is awesome) and the person caring for our pet through the app. You can easily book or modify appointments in the app as well. After a friend who watched our dog moved away we had always stressed over who was going to watch our dog. That is no longer the case! I'm so glad we tried Furbabies!

Amazing service, best pet sitters we've ever used. Kim is great to work with and they took care of our 2 kitties like those cats had won a lottery. Our little shy cat warmed up to the pet sitter better than we've seen her with anyone. Highly recommended!

First time there, and based on cleanliness, friendliness, and calm relaxed temperament of my dog after 9 day stay, I'd say I'm pretty happy and will go back and use their services again. I would give 5 stars if they gave our dog the chance to play with other dogs. Still very happy, but the answer will be how excited Bentley is next time I pull up to drop him off. If he likes the place, he'll be very excited to get there and get out of the truck.

I have planned for my pet Coco to stay with you for so long and feel so confident and excited about your service that I still cannot believe that after calling you and confirming the reservation again the place was CLOSED. No One told me that I have to be there at a certain time or that you closed at 3 pm. Another thing that I don't understand is how there would be no one there if it was a Pet Resort. Who takes care of the pets? None no sense to me... So disappointed!

Fantastic people who will love your animals so much! I've been taking my 2 year old dog here for about a year and they have consistently provide great care for him.

This place is awesome! Our dogs come home, happy, healthy and clean, no matter how long they stay. The vets and vet techs care and take good care of our fur babies. The facility is immaculate and we are grateful for their expertise. Highly recommend!

Got an appt for Sassy Ann's 3 night stay at the last moment The staff were excellent with all the intake setup for the short stay. They were just as efficient and friendly picking up my precious pup. We have used their kennel/spa services several times and all were GREAT! Keep Up The Good Work Ladies! Love you, Sassy Ann

I needed a last minute place for my cat to spend the night and came across this resort. From the moment I walked in I felt very welcomed by staff. The resort is incredibly clean with many different suites to choose from for your dogs and cats. My cats suite wasn't a cage which made me very happy. She had a 3 floor cubical suite that was cat friendly by the sun. Each suite had a vent and a HEPA filter. You can tell the staff genuinely are passionate about animals and keeping them happy and safe. I called after hours to see how my cat was doing and got a prompt call back with reassurance. They follow medication instructions, they trimmed my cats nails and they even give you a report card to let you know how your animals stay went which was so cute. If I could give this place more stars I would. I would recommend this place to anyone with pets who are going away and would use again. Thanks so much for your hard work ladies!

So I picked up my dogs earlier and upon bringing them home they were much lighter. I thought well maybe it just me I haven't held them in my arms for a hot minute. Well I went to feed them like I do every evening and unlike them they RAN to there food when I put it down. It was gone within minutes. Now one of my dogs has very thin hair and I could actually feel and see her ribs when I couldn't when I dropped them off. The other has long hair so I can't see her ribs. But I can definitely feel how thin she is now.

My puppy was clean going in and clean coming home. I got photos of him playing outside. He was so happy and I will be using VCA Deland Pet Resort again. Our puppy deserves to be in great hands. Thank you VCA Feland Pet Resort. Thanks Darla!

Use to take my girl here for daycare when I first got here- their kennels are wonderful, they have inside and outside play areas that are great! The staff is so caring, very compassionate, and ADORED Fergie! She was always so excited to go to daycare every morning and see Ariel walkin up to the car to come get her. This place is truly amazing!

I took my dog here when I first adopted him. Since I was new to the area I forgot the name of this place. I loved the way they treated my pup and was upset to have lost such a great location for my pet. When I was looking for a boarding place because I had an emergency to leave, I found them again. I use them for my pet boarding and made sure I don't lose this place again.

Sherry is an amazing and very responsible pet care professional. She provides regular dog walking service for me as I work extended hours regularly. She has a keen eye for suggesting health concerns to watch out for.

Sherry Fox knows how to handle dogs well. Very nice lady.

I left a voicemail and no one ever called me back.

cute, never heard of him

as usual, never heard of him

I have no idea who this is. I have never watched his animals by that name. Must have the wrong person.

We love Hounds Town. Our dog has been coming here since she was vaccinated enough as a puppy, and as her anxious aggression has evolved this is the only place we can take her where she enjoys being (no dog parks, etc. work for her anymore). The trainers here are the only people other than our family who she can be around. We are so grateful for the love and care they show her. The pictures after each daycare day are so cute, the facility does amazing events, and the director Chelsea keeps everything running smoothly and always updates the pet parents. Our dog comes home socialized and tired which we love!

Love hounds town they’re so friendly and amazing at what they do! They care for your pups as if they are their own, we always take our pup there and never had any issues and they post daily photos on their FB group :) so you can see what your doggy is doing

Most friendly people ever. My pup and I felt welcome and like family immediately. I was explained everything step by step. We could really tell they loved their jobs. Bruce was so playful and happy. Very reasonably priced and no pressure from staff. The one thing I wish differently……I’d like to see camera’s and livestream put in!!!!

Hounds Town strives to meet needs of all parents and pets! They work with anxiety prone animals and always keep your pets health in mind by grouping by attitude and size. Every time we pick our pup up we get a report about things she did, as well as a boat load of pictures! Location is clean,indoors and beautifully new. Staff is LGBT friendly and very inclusive to all families I have seen! Safety gates and double doors are in place to keep pets safe. We thank the whole staff for helping our pup become the best she can! In just a few short months of going our pup is out of her lonely funk, let out her energy, is no longer afraid of men or new places and let’s her personality shine constantly. Bless houndstown for their proven results in being a great day care that actually has the pets interest in mind!

Awesome boarding facility!! We've been boarding our 5+ large dogs here multiple times a year since 2021 and it's been a great experience each time. Staff is super sweet and friendly, facility is clean and modern, boarding program is well-run and competitively priced, and location is great. We love seeing photos of our happy dogs posted each night! It's clear whenever we drop off or pick up our dogs that the staff love each one of them, and that the dogs enjoyed being there. We recommend HoundsTown to all our friends and family!

Hounds Town is a great and reliable place to take your dog for either daycare or boarding. They share photos daily in their fb group, which makes me feel so better about leaving my pup. They are responsive on fb messenger which I love. I can't always call while at work to make appointments, but being able to message them is so convenient. We've tried many facilities and found that HT is the best one in the area. Although it may be a little more pricey, I know my dog is in good hands when he cannot be home with us.

My dog LOVED her boarding stay at Hounds Town Sanford. The dogs stay in play groups most of day, and just go in their “town houses” for meals and bed. My 9 year old sassy husky turned into a puppy again, loving every second of play groups and was joyfully exhausted when I picked her up. The 300+ pictures a day of all the pups playing is also a huge perk.

I brought my three year-old Siberian husky in not spayed And apparently they can neither trim her nails or wash her and she’s up-to-date on all her vaccines and she’s the sweetest little dog Don’t waste your time here like I did Pathetic business

Hounds Town is the best dog daycare we have ever been too. We have 2 Dobermans with tons of energy and when we pick them up from hounds town they are exhausted. They are so good with our puppies and they love going to daycare.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The facility was immaculate! So impressed with Hounds Town! My Sadie loved her visit and she is looking forward to going to daycare there
