Availability
I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding times, medication routines, playtime, and any other care instructions you provide. I am available after 10 AM on all days except Tuesdays. I prioritize providing consistent, reliable visits and building trust with every animal I care for so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets feel safest when they have a predictable routine. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule, respecting their space, and following their owner’s instructions. I take a fear-free approach by allowing pets to interact at their own pace and never force attention or handling. I pay close attention to body language and individual needs so I can provide personalized care that helps each pet feel safe. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable, respected, and cared for while you’re away.
Information Samantha A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any important medical conditions, medications, recent procedures, or special care needs that may require monitoring. It is also very helpful to know your pet’s comfort level with new people and any boundaries they have. Examples include being head shy, not liking their paws touched, needing extra time to warm up, or barking when someone first arrives until they feel comfortable.
A typical day
Every pet has their own personality, so I tailor activities to what makes them feel most comfortable. A typical visit for dogs may include playtime, walks, brushing if they enjoy it, and plenty of attention on their terms. For cats, visits may include playing with toys, brushing if they enjoy it, and gentle affection if they are comfortable with it. Some cats love chasing toys and exploring, while others prefer quiet companionship and building trust at their own pace. My goal is to provide a positive, low-stress experience where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and respected while their owners are away.
