Caring and loving animal caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello! ☀️ I'm Sam, an experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals of all shapes, sizes and species! My passion for pet care began when I started working at local animal shelter and participating in pet adoption events. These experiences taught me invaluable lessons about the unique needs of different animals and deepened my commitment to providing top-notch care. As a pet sitter, I take pride in offering a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry (and non-furry) friends. Whether it's a playful puppy, a senior cat, or anything in between, I'm dedicated to giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. My experience includes working with animals that have special needs, such as administering medications or following specific dietary requirements. I understand that communication is key when it comes to pet sitting, which is why I make it a priority to keep you updated with regular messages and photos. You can rest assured that your pets are in good hands and enjoy peace of mind knowing they're well taken care of. When you choose me as your pet sitter, your pets will enjoy a fun and stimulating environment filled with playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love. I'm excited to meet you and your four-legged family members and can't wait to give them the exceptional care they deserve!

Sam is always amazing with Jax! When he gets dropped off, he is super excited and happy to be there. And every time I pick him up he’s relaxed and almost sad to leave lol I live all the way out in Hampton, but make the drive to make sure he’s with her so I can feel at ease when I’m out of town. Highly recommend!

Sam did amazing with our pitbull baby! Updated us every day with pictures and videos. Took him on walks and gave him even more love. Highly recommended and will be using her in the future!

Sam loves all animals and they love her right back :) I have seen the way she works with them, and she puts her whole heart in it! She is trustworthy and will keep your fur babies happy and safe while you are away. I highly reccomend her!
