Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, and live in a low traffic neighborhood where frequent dog walks can happen safely. My home has two floors, so animals can be separated on request. My pets are allowed on the furniture, and yours are too! I have plenty of dog and cat toys, a cat tree, and crates if requested. My dog loves the company of other dogs, and ignores the cats completely. Cats are separated on the other end of the house, so the dogs are unable to access their food or litter boxes.

Information Samantha A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behavior triggers or if there is anything I can provide to help them feel more comfortable or at home. I am comfortable administering any type of medication, and will accommodate any special feeding needs as well.

A typical day

I have fun walking in our neighborhood with low traffic and several dead end streets, giving us time to sniff around and enjoy our surroundings without feeling rushed or in harms way. Sadie also enjoys the trails around the Roanoke Star, meeting her socializing and energy needs.

I’ll Love Your Pet Like My Own

Pet care experience

With a fenced in yard and pet sitting being my full time job, your pet will have my undivided attention while they stay in my home. I currently foster for the SPCA, and am skilled in special diets, administering medicine, and elderly/puppy care. I have extensive experience in managing health and behavioral concerns, and will keep you informed with several pictures and updates throughout the day so you can be at ease they are having a comfortable stay at my home. I understand life can be unpredictable, so I am flexible with early drop offs or late pick ups in order to work with your schedule!

The absolute best as always! We took an extended trip and it was the longest we’d left our fur babies but leaving them in Samantha’s care eased our mind. Don’t hesitate, book it!! From one anxious pet parent to another.

Samantha and her daughter Hannah did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs and house during our recent trip. Samantha sent cute pics of our dogs every day we were gone which allowed us to relax knowing they were happy. She was patient with our shy, anxious dog and let him slowly warm up to her, she prepared chicken and rice dinners for the pups as we requested and even washed the sheets and towels to make things easier for us when we got home. We will definitely book with her again!

Samantha is awesome! We are always very anxious about leaving our 3 cats and Samantha's reliability and trustworthiness put us at ease. We loved all the photos and updates and we felt very informed the whole time we were away. Looking forward to working with Samantha the next time we go away!
