Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet will fall in love with me!
Hello there! I know I made a bold statement with my headline, but it truly does happen all the time. I go above and beyond to provide top-quality care tailored to your pet’s unique routine and needs, so they feel safe, comfortable, and entertained. I pour love and dedication into their care as if they were my own. So rest assured, you’ll come home to a happy pet and a mess-free house after your trip! **My experience** I’ve been pet sitting through Rover since high school and throughout college, so I have extensive experience. I’ve done it all! From dealing with newborn puppies (I even helped deliver a litter one year) to taking care of elderly dogs with special needs. I’m great with cats, reptiles, other small animals, and birds! If you have any questions about my experience, feel free to message me anytime! **About me** I graduated from Brown University and plan to go to grad school in a couple of years. I like to consider myself dependable, honest, and trustworthy. I value these qualities in others, so I strive to embody them myself. I am a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Venezuela, so I’m a native Spanish speaker. I love to read romance novels and memoirs to relax. Currently, I’m studying for the GRE!

Ratings and reviews
Samantha did an amazing job taking care of little Sam. This is the first time I’ve left him in the 6 years that I’ve had him so I had so much anxiety. Samantha gave me peace of mind while I was away sending me constant videos and photos of Sam. She stayed overnight and made sure Sam felt comfortable and safe as well. I felt so much better having someone so responsible staying with my little baby. ❣️
The BEST!!! Incredible relief to have such a lovely, reliable person to take care of our puppy!
I can not believe how lucky we were to find Samantha at the last minute. She is everything one could hope for- completely reliable, great communicator, kind, and has an incredible way with our 5 mo puppy. I did not worry for one second while we were away. She already feels like part of our family.
Sam we are so grateful for the care and love you gave to our very senior dog Nari. You made our trip to West Palm stress free and allowed us to have some date nights and mornings away knowing that Nari was in good hands. It is not easy taking care of a 17yr old, almost blind, almost deaf dog with mobility limitations but your patience and commitment to giving her the best care gave us peace of mind. Thank you Sam. We will reach out to you anytime we are in the area.
Samantha did great! She showed up for my doggo with separation anxiety and my foster kitty. She took care of both, sent me updates, and made them feel loved.
Samantha was great. She loved on my dogs. Sent me pictures and videos daily. Responded to my communication as needed. She also left my house spotless. I would definitely book her again!

Schedule
My Schedule: - I own and run a small business with my mom 😄. When I’m booked, I don’t work on-site at my business unless it is absolutely necessary (like when there’s an emergency, or an employee did not show-up). The good thing is that our hours are from 4:30 a.m.-8 a.m. and 2:30 pm-5 p.m. (we have odd hours, I know), so if that were to happen, I can still guarantee your pet(s) will be taken care of, with minimal disruption to their routine. - I go to the gym 3 times a week, and I’m typically out for about 3 hrs each time. - My prices are higher than average because I only take one client at a time, meaning I’m not taking dog-walking or drop-in clients during our booking period. I also stay with your pet majority of the time, if not all day and night. I only go out if I must do an errand, pick up food, or go to the gym. I definitely do not go out more than 6 hours at a time, and only if my client permits. If I go out for that long, it is probably because I have an important appointment, or I’m trying to tackle multiple errands in one go to avoid leaving the house multiple times a day. That said, I will absolutely accommodate and adhere to every client’s unique expectations and needs when booked.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
While caring for your pet at your house, I will follow all of your requests, house rules, and always clean up after myself. - I will not invite people over unless explicitly allowed (and I would be very mindful in every sense)! - I bring or order my own food, so I won’t eat any food in the fridge or pantry, unless explicitly allowed. However, I may use condiments and oils to cook, which also means I will use the kitchen and appliances as needed. - I typically use the washer and dryer, unless explicitly told otherwise.
Pets
A typical day
I adhere to every pet’s unique schedule and routine, which shall be discussed during our meet n greet appointment. - I will send you pictures and videos often! - If I see that it is possible, safe, and I have permission, I will take your pet out for mini adventures like walks at the beach or at the park.
