Availability
I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to offer both drop-in visits and house sits ($70/night) if you’d like more companionship for your fur baby. ❤️ For house sitting, please select the House Sitting option instead and check my calendar for availability.

About Samanta A.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
I usually care for pets in their own homes, so their routine isn’t further disrupted while you’re away. I’m tidy and will leave your home the way I found it. Mail, packages, 📦 and plants 🪴 will be taken care of as well, so you can fully enjoy your trip without having to worry about what’s happening back home.
Information Samanta A. would like to know about your pet
I like to do a complimentary meet & greet with cat parents beforehand. That way, your kitty can hear my voice, pick up on my scent and footsteps, and see us interact while we go over their routine. When I enter your home for our first visit, it’s hopefully a little less “stranger danger” and more, “Ah yes, it’s Auntie from the other day!” 🐱❤️
A typical day
I’ll bring an arsenal of cat toys with me, and we’ll try different things. Even shy cats have a tendency to engage in play when a toy is new and exciting, making them less nervous around a new caretaker. Playtime, patience, creating a calm atmosphere with gentle music and Cat TV in the background, treats, and lots of love have helped me win the hearts of many “Cléo won’t come out from under the couch” kitties. 🤗

Cat care experience
I take my cat-sitting duties seriously. When my ex was away in Brazil with his girlfriend, I took care of their senior cats, Ernesto (a blind, loving soul) and Lola (a gorgeous diva), in their Hollywood home. It only took a day before both were curled up on the bed with me, and we quickly settled into our routine - treats, cuddles, regular feeding times, and scooping, scooping, and scrubbing down the litter box. :) I make sure to send plenty of updates with photos and videos to keep you in the loop. I know how stressful it can be to leave your cat with a stranger, hoping they’ll get more than just food and a clean litter box. Cats need love, attention, and mental stimulation, too. Losing my senior cat Olive to cancer is ultimately what led me to pet sitting. I missed having my fur baby at home, and what started as a way to get my cat-love fix grew into something I genuinely adore doing. I fall in love with every kitty I care for and have become the honorary Auntie to many kitties on the Westside. ☀️ ❤️
