Excellent attention to detail

Pet care experience

I've worked with animals for the past 10+ years. I have been trained as a veterinary technician. I'm currently enrolled in Penn Foster to pursue my veterinary technician certification. I am also able to provide care for snakes, lizards, turtles/tortoises, and some small mammals (like rats and hamsters). Overall, I try to treat every fur or scaly baby I meet as if they were my own and strive to give them the love and care they deserve. I want you to have peace of mind while you are away and your happiness is very important to me!

Samantha is a wonderful sitter-very caring and professional. Maile is a very happy Husky after a visit with "Aunty Samantha"' and we're very lucky to have found her. Debby

Very friendly, she took great care of my pups when I was out of town. She spent a lot of time with them, kept them fed and active, and sent me regular updates. Can't ask for better service. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

My home consists of older pups, so they do love their sleep, but they can be very playful at times! I also have a cat who sometimes dabbles in play. Pets in my home are supervised at all times and kept comfortable. I would like for it to be known that I do have an in ground pool that is not fenced, but again, I never take my own dogs out unsupervised, so yours will also always be under a watchful eye! As for boarding, this would be your pet staying in my home overnight, for at least one or more nights. Daycare is just what it is; daycare! Bring your pup to stay with me through the day so they aren't bored all day at home.

Information Samantha A. would like to know about your pet

I always like to set up a consultation or “meet and greet” with you and your pets. My meet and greets normally start with getting to know each other. I want to know your pets and for them to know me! Bonding prior to home visits will greatly reduce stress and anxiety for your pet when I carry out my visits. I want your pet to feel comfortable each time I visit. This will also give us time to discuss any medical conditions or special needs your pet may have. My meet and greets range from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on you and your pet's needs. Also, sometimes personalities just don’t mesh; so, it’s better to know ahead of time rather than later! Second, I want you to get to know me and that I understand your expectations. Next to your pet’s well-being, your happiness is of the utmost importance to me. I know how hard it is to leave your pets with someone else; it's never easy! A meet and greet will give us time to communicate needs, wants, and questions you may have, and hopefully put your mind at ease when leaving your pet with me. If you are considering boarding/daycare in my home, we can discuss details prior to actually meeting.

A typical day

I have a large, fenced in backyard and ample room for those that get the zoomies or like to play catch. I also have pups of my own, so yours will never be lonely! My pups can be very lazy since they are older, but they do like to play. How the day's activities go though will depend heavily on your pet's age and temperament. Have a couch potato? We can lay around and cuddle. Have a pup like loves playing catch? We can do that too! Any information that you can give me about your pet and their personality will also help me create a safe and fun environment for them. I do send updates for any of my bookings as well. I will send you pictures and a brief summary of how the visit went.
