About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet. A little about me: I am in grad school (online) and work a hybrid job which gives me flexibility/ allows me to be remote a good amount so your furry friend isn’t alone day! I have plenty of experience looking after neighbors’ pets, from playful puppies to full-grown dogs. I also have experience with birds and cats. I can’t wait to take your furry friend out for walks, keep them entertained, and meet their unique needs.

When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention.

I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.

“Samantha was wonderful! She was super communicative while doing her drop-ins and sent so many photos! My dogs seemed to love her and it made me smile to see how well they took to her. As an anxious fur mom, knowing they were in good hands was priceless. 🤍 I highly recommend her to anyone looking for car for their fur babies.”

About: I grew up in a family that always had dogs, ranging from small dogs (like Chihuahuas) to big dogs (like German Wirehairs). As a child, I took on dog training experience through my local 4-H group and pursued that for a large portion of my early education career. Since then, I have always been a lover of dogs and have taken on many responsibilities, not only for my family dogs, but for my roommate’s dogs as well. Any care and love your dog needs, I would be happy to provide it! I’m available for pet care during the week and on weekends.

I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice for cancellations. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Please note: I do not offer dog care in my own home as I live in an apartment. However, I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence for both dogs and cats! For dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, including regular walks, outdoor playtime (at a nearby dog park or fenced yard), and bathroom breaks every 30–60 minutes based on their needs. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and comfortable. For cats, I offer attentive and respectful care, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection (if your cat is the cuddly type!). I understand feline behavior and know how to give them the space or snuggles they prefer. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to help while keeping their routine as stress-free as possible!

About: I have always been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. I love playing with pets, and keeping them company. The thing I love most about dogs is that their so genuine, and sweet. I especially like to train pups! I am basically living my life around pets! So that means, always finding the time in taking care of animals, because like small children, they need to be watched over, and looked after. I’m very courteous when entering a new home, and I really like to establish what is called “a sitter-to-dog-to owner relationship, where the owner(s) feel like they can trust me, and their dog or dogs feel like they can too.

About: I have experience with small-large, birth-death dogs and cats. I grew up with many puppies born in my home and always had 1-4 cats. As a young adult renter I vicariously lived through all my friends and family with animals. Dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish. I love animals, they are people too. I have experience administering medication as well as grooming. I am looking to care for fur babies full time. My previous employer was bought out and my position relocated to Georgia. I am exploring becoming a full time pet sitter in between regular life errands and hoping it will sustain me as my own boss so I can avoid returning to corporate life. My goal is to become animal CPR certified as soon as possible and begin a journey towards becoming a certified trainer. Every animal is different with different schedules and different needs. I'm my home my animals are fed healthy and get plenty of play, exercise, grooming and treats.
