Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs, Cats, Fish & Reptiles Welcome
I’ve owned and cared for pets throughout my whole life, including dogs, cats, freshwater fish, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and aquariums. I’m currently the proud owner of two cats, several fish, and a snake, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I grew up around Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Poodles, Corgis, and many different cats. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable adjusting care based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. I’d love to watch your fur baby while you’re busy! Depending on your pet’s needs, we can go for walks, runs, hikes, playtime, or even visit a local dog park if that’s something they enjoy. I’m also comfortable helping with cats, fish, and reptiles, including snakes. I can follow care instructions for feeding, litter boxes, tank checks, lights, temperatures, humidity, water quality, and basic enclosure needs. I’m currently available after 9 AM and will respond as quickly as I can. I’m happy to travel within the South Bay, Milpitas, and Fremont areas. I look forward to meeting you and your fabulous pet family!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet like they’re my own and always follow care instructions carefully. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles, including pets that need patience, a calm approach, or specific routines. I pay close attention to food, water, leashes, doors, gates, tank conditions, temperatures, humidity, enclosure security, and each pet’s comfort level.
Ratings and reviews
Samantha was wonderful. Thank you for walking our doggo, Lacie 🐶🐾
Samantha was great especially because I asked so last minute. Kora thoroughly enjoyed being walked and had a great time.
My pup and I are SO THANKFUL for Samantha!!! She is trustworthy, punctual and really tuckers out my pup. My mind is at ease knowing Samantha is out with Waffle while I’m at work and my life is less stressful due to her doggy diligence. Thanks, Samantha!
Smith is a very responsible individual. She currently handles are German shepherd with absolutely no issues. She is a great pet sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Samantha is fantastic with animals. She took care of my puppy Gisi with the greatest detail to attention. She even provided photos of Gisi during their walks in the park so I could see just how much fun he was having. I would highly recommend Samantha as a dog sitter/house sitter. She is very loving towards animals, has quick response rate and is extremely professional.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, aquariums, and reptiles, so I’m comfortable with a variety of care routines. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, basic habitat checks, and weekend care.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsSamantha can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I like to know each pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, personality, and any medical needs ahead of time. Please let me know about allergies, medications, leash behavior, anxiety, hiding spots, favorite toys, and anything that makes them nervous. For fish and reptiles, I’d also like care details such as feeding, lights, temperature, humidity, water/tank needs, and enclosure instructions. This helps me keep dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles safe, comfortable, and cared for properly.
