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.

About Samantha G.

Safety, trust & environment
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.

Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet
To care for your pet the way you do, we love learning their routine and personality. You’re welcome to share: ✔ Daily schedule (feeding, potty/litter, walks) ✔ Medical needs or medications ✔ Stress triggers, quirks, or comfort rituals ✔ Favorite toys, games, and bonding style ✔ How they feel about people and other animals ✔ Vet info, emergency contacts, and house rules These details help us provide familiar, predictable care your pet can relax into – especially for longer trips or multi‑pet house sitting. The more we know, the more your pet can feel like they’re still in “their” routine. 🐾 The goal is to mirror your home routine, not replace it.
A typical day
Every pet and household has its own rhythm, so we follow your pet’s routine, not a one-size-fits-all schedule. With structure, enrichment, and gentle communication, we make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and understood. In a typical day, pets are: Fed on schedule Taken out for potty breaks or have litter scooped Given slow, respectful introductions and space Offered cuddles if they enjoy touch Engaged with play, walks, or training games that match their age and energy In your home, we lightly tidy shared areas, refresh food and water spaces, and can water plants if needed. Your space is treated as part of your pet’s comfort, not just a backdrop. Throughout your trip, you’ll receive consistent updates that show personality and real moments, so you feel connected even while you’re away. 🐾 Care rooted in routine, respect, and familiar connection.

Experienced multi-pet caregiver
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Samantha is an absolute dream guest!! She took care of our pups and our home to perfection! She not only walked them, fed them, loved on them and provided us with photos and a quick daily update but also washed her own sheets, towels and dishes! Our home and pets were in better condition when we got home than when we left! My favorite thing was the report card and hand written card that she left on our table. It was such a sweet gesture. We will DEFINITELY be welcoming Samantha back!!
Samantha was amazing! She went above and beyond to take such good care of my furry & feathered crew, and she kept me informed on how they were doing in our absence. Based on the pics, I could tell my pets were comfortable & happy with her.
Came through on a very short notice
Samantha is always great
