Pets

I truly love caring for animals!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets for my whole life! I grew up on a farm with at least three dogs and five indoor cats at a time! I have worked at Dr. Mimnagh’s office as a veterinary assistant since 2020. With years of experience, I am more than qualified to care for, feed, and administer all medications to cats and dogs. I am comfortable with handling all sizes and personalities of cats and dogs. I have a dog and two cats of my own that I care for on the daily! I love to have fun with the animals and play with them but safety for all involved is the main priority. I am currently a student at the University of South Carolina and am looking to make some extra money over the summer!

Samantha was so great for our pups while we were out of the country. They can be very sensitive, and she handled them flawlessly! We even had a situation come up that required some medical attention, and she was able to resolve the situation in a manner that gave us the peace of mind that we needed. Very professional and polite, would recommend!

Sam did a great job with my doggo Doodle, and even got the visiting kitty to interact with her. Thanks Sam!

She did an amazing job caring for my two very shy FIV+ cats (one also has diabetes and needs pilling). Her patience and gentle approach made my cats feel comfortable, and they even ate treats from her (which one definitely does not usually do). I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, giving me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone who has shy special needs cats!

Sam has been pet sitting for my husband and I over the past three years. She takes the time to get to know your pets and any additional medical needs. Sam is trustworthy and dependable. She makes going away much less stressful for us. I highly recommend her! Beth R.
