Highlights
Pet care experience
Any and all animal lover!
Hey there! My name is Sam and I just moved to Arkansas from Texas! A little about me, I am a mental health therapist and primarily see clients online at this point in my career! I have been an animal lover my entire life. There hasn't been a time in my life where I haven't had an animal living with me (except my freshman year in college, but it was probably better that way!) I started by dog/cat sitting for family and friends back in Texas and that has grown into a side business that I want to bring to Arkansas. I’ve watched all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragon, ferrets, bunnies, horses, donkeys, goats, and more! I have two perfect-in-their-own-ways cats, Millie and Benjamin. I miss having pups in my life and don't know a whole lot of people in Arkansas yet so I figured this would be a great way to connect and love on some animals! I hope to hear from you soon!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I have know Samantha and her family since she was in elementary school, and I was her cheerleading sponsor in middle school. Samantha has a heart of gold and cares very much about animals and chose a career to counsel people and support those in need. She has taken care of family pets for years and often house sits at the same time. She has taken care of 4-5 dogs in my home while on vacation. She is reliable, responsible, and compassionate. I have always trusted Samantha to look after my pets, knowing she will treat them with the utmost care and attention. She is not only reliable and responsible, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and loved in my absence. Whether it's feeding, playing, or ensuring they get their daily walks, Samantha does it all with a smile. I never have to worry about my pets when she’s around. I highly recommend Samantha for anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter!
Samantha has been a fantastic overnight house and pet sitter for my wife and me multiple times. She cares for our dog, 4 goats and 2 donkeys. Our Labradoodle always lights up with excitement to see her come play and go on regularly nightly walks. She will often send photos to us of our dog having fun! Additionally, our goats are fed twice daily and put in their pen overnight, plus the donkeys always have clean water. Samantha is compassionate, patient, professional and loving. Although never expected, Samantha somehow always has the house straightened up and looking great by the time we come home. The bed is made up as if she never slept in it, the dishwasher is emptied and the trash is always taken out. We do not expect this, but it is one more way Samantha goes above and beyond and is such a blessing to our family. We have the utmost trust in her.
Sam B. is the BEST ever with our two dogs: a 90 pound white golden and a 20 pound Boston. Not only do we trust her to housesit, we trust her with our beloved dogs. They LOVE her. She is very responsible, practical and loving. I'm guessing they get more treats with her than from us. 100% recommend.

Schedule
My schedule is mostly consistent from week to week but I work odd hours and times. I work from home so I would be available all day!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If I’m watching your pup at my home, I have an entirely enclosed fence so they would get plenty of outdoor/run time. Your pup would have to get along with cats, Benjamin is very curious and wants to be friends with everyone.

A typical day
I like to follow the dogs lead when doing things. I really love being outside, especially here since it's constantly beautiful outside! Walks are the best! I like swimming so if your pup likes to swim you can bet I'll be in the pool with him or her! I try to be an additional family member, so whatever your rules are, I follow those. I'm comfortable with anything and everything, so just keep me updated on your routine!
