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.

“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!”

“Laurie and Mark were SPECTACULAR!! They took such great care of my Tanner! They also introduced him to new things such as the pool, and chickens! Haha he had a blast playing with their dogs as well! Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Will definitely book with them again!”

“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! 🐾❤️”

“We have used Leon's services multiple times now for our two pups, for both daycare and boarding. Their home is amazing - basically a like a fancy dog park. We also love that Leon and Nick really understand dogs in general. Makes it easy for us to leave our pups with them. Highly recommended!!”

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.

“Absolutely wonderful! Krista booked us in super short notice. Our pup has only been away from us 1 time before so I didn’t know how he would feel. He’s happy as a clam. Had a great day. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Emillie took the best of care with Prince yet again. He had a blast with his best buddies (her two Goldens), and came home tired and happy. I'm grateful to have Emillie to give Prince the attention and exercise he needs when I have a crazy day of appointments! Instead of a stressful situation, I get a good dog that's snuggly after I've had hard day :)”

“Maeve came home happy and tired from a full day of play during her daycare stay with Suhas & Shruthi. They were reliable, attentive to Maeve’s needs, took her out on several walks during the day, and sent me several adorable photos & videos throughout the day. I highly recommend!”

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. I am currently working part time so I am home most of the time, have lots of space and a yard for them to roam around and have fun! I have a fenced yard, patio and of course our home for your pets to feel comfortable wherever they want to be will take great care.

“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!”

About: My passion for animals began at a very young age. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the go-to person for family and friends whenever they needed someone reliable to care for their pets. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, especially dogs—whether it's playing with them, going on walks, or grooming them to help them look and feel their best. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your pets. Any day of the week. Your pets will have access to five acres of open space to explore and enjoy during their stay. We have two friendly dogs who love socializing and playing with others. I tailor each pet’s care—including walks, playtime, and crating—based on their individual needs and comfort levels

About: I work from home so your pup will receive continuous attention and playtime. Personal pet owner of up to 4 dogs at a time. As a RN I have no problem administering your dogs medications, including injections. Daycare/boarding includes walking your pet and possible doggie park on the weekends if you are comfortable with that. After recently losing 2 members of my pack, I decided to spoil and love on other peoples pets. Most of my best friends are dog owners! I prefer a meet and greet before boarding your pet. My greys are friendly and once they do some sniffy sniffs they are good. If your dog likes to mark I do have belly bands to use while in the house.

“Megan and her beautiful family took great care of our girl, Nala, who has separation anxiety and is easily stressed. Thankyou for loving on our girl.”

About: I have been taking care of pets most of my life. Between having many pets in our home such as cats dogs and birds I also have helped those in my neighborhood and other family members care for their pets since I was in high school. I love having animals around! I’m a stay at home mom with two young children. My oldest loves pets and is always wanting more. We love to walk our two dogs around the neighborhood and play in the backyard while the dogs roam around., I have a fenced in yard and a designated space inside the home for animals to be. Regular outside time is given as needed as well as walks and plenty of space if any pups need separation.
