About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm a confident, patient and attentive caregiver who understands that each dog has unique needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making each dog feel comfortable and at home. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or maintaining their regular routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. As a stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can easily maintain your dog's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. I always introduce the dogs gradually and supervise interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. If your dog needs their own space, I'm happy to accommodate this as well, including crating if requested. I'll follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. I will send you updates if requested so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: I have owned pets my whole life including cats, dogs, small animals, reptiles, birds, you name it! My pet soulmate (my cat Patches), passed away Halloween 2023 after 16 long and love-filled years and I don't know if I will ever have my own animals again. However, my passion for animals (especially cats) is still strong and it would be a treat to hang out with and care for some fur babies! Looking forward to meeting your beloved companions :) I have a relatively open schedule at this time in my life, and would love to discuss scheduling details that work for both of us! Pet-sitting in your home: I am responsible and tidy, and I plan on leaving everything exactly the way it was when I came in. I will follow any rules, guidelines, or schedules that are put in place and I am more than willing to send updates or pictures if it would make you more comfortable :)

About: I am very well equipped to get the job done. I have had animals ever since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of dogs from small to large,from shit zus to German sheppards! No dog scares me and there isn’t a breed I haven’t worked with. I also have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters , fish, bunnies , chickens, ducks. I sadly do not do houses with reptiles. I am a part time nurse and full time animal lover. I’m good with bathing , walking , nail grooming , play time and anything else your pet may need. I have my own pets , a German sheppard , husky , a cat, and 3 bunnies ! I would love to meet your furry friends! I’m currently working full time as a nurse but my schedule has some flexibility as I get some weekdays off, and most evenings and weekends are available! I am able to follow direction and instructions based on your pets needs. You tell me what you need and it will be done. I am very experienced with escape artists and able to control those animals that like to test the limits !

“We contacted Samantha last minute to take care of our Golden Doodle Barkley, she was very quick to respond and eager to help! She sent lots of sweet photos of our boy throughout the walk and we could tell from her summary of the visit that she really cared about and understood him and his quirks! When we got home the next day we were greeted with a very happy boy and could tell he was well taken care of. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely contact her again to take care of him in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up around many kinds of pets and animals and have had the pleasure of looking after them all. These include but are not limited to dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, chickens, ducks, and geese. Growing up like this gave me the opportunity to raise my own litter of bunnies and watch them grow up. I’ve also been hatching ducklings and chicks for a few years now and I get to help them grow. I’ve done dog walking for my neighbours and have experience working with animals on a farm. Growing up my mom was a dog groomer so i would help her and was always around dogs whether it was our own or someone else’s. I have a true passion for animals and strive to do the best I can when caring for them! I’m currently working part time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available most weekdays and during the day, with Saturday’s only being available in the evening. I pay great attention to detail and will give your pet 100% of my attention when looking after them. You’ll return to your home how you left it and with a happy pet!

About: I’ve held a great amount of respect and love for dogs since a young age, and couldn’t wait to get my own as a young adult. My dogs have taught me a lot, we’ve gone through extensive training and I have years of experience with stubborn pets! There is truly no better feeling than fostering a bond with a selective dog. I have two dogs of my own and we prefer to spend as much time as possible outside! Whether that is on or off leash walks, backyard play or toy enrichment we can accommodate it all :) My home set up allows separation if pups need space, but my doodle Tucker is very friendly and loves to provide companionship. My goal is to provide attention to detail- your needs and requirements will be valued here at all times! My schedule also gives me the flexibility to commute from anywhere, so I’m happy to set up in your home if that’s what works best for your furry friends. I aim to provide the best experience for everyone, and will leave your home clean and tidy :)

About: I’m the kind of pet sitter who will probably spoil your pet a little — okay, maybe a lot! 🐾 I have two dogs of my own, so I understand that pets aren’t “just pets”; they’re family. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with energetic pups, cuddly companions, and senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they get all the belly rubs and cuddles they’re used to. My goal is for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back! I’m retired, so I’m home most days and have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I have a very flexible schedule and can give them the attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I’m not rushing off to work, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for walks and play. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special needs. If caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
