Safety, trust & environment

At my home, I have a fenced yard that allows my dogs to run at their leisure. I often leave my door back door open so they can run in and out when they want to. One of my dogs is particularly aggressive so he’s isolated from the other two dogs, but he gets out and gets to run on his own when the other two dogs are put up. Two of my dogs get to sleep with me every night. My guinea pigs have a whole room in the house to themselves, and my fish and snakes are in tanks that are out in the living room. My life is basically run by my pets, my pet schedule, feeding, cleaning and enrichment, but it’s the way I want it to be. It makes me happy to take care of them.

Pet care experience

I’ve had animal companions my entire life. My animal companions are part of my family. They are my joy when I go home. They’re my joy when I leave the house. They’re my joy throughout the entire day when I’m with them. When I need a pet sitter for all them, I definitely need someone I can trust and rely on and know that they’re going to understand the desires and needs of each species. I am that kind of pet sitter, the kind of pet sitter I desire for my own companions. The only time I leave them is when I know they’re in really good hands. Otherwise, I won’t leave the house. I consider myself to be those really good hands that you can leave your animal companions in. I have worked at both shelters in the city, so know how to handle all types of emotional states of dogs and cats. I’m currently working at an animal emergency and specialty center where I take care of dogs and cats in the ICU. If your animal needs medical care while you’re away, I can certainly provide it. I am happy to figure out a way to get your animal friend to take their meds, but I will never stress them. I always have a stethoscope handy in case I notice something odd. I have exotics like guinea pigs, fish, snakes, and hamsters, so I’m happy to take care of your exotic animals as well. I’ve also taken care of farm animals, camels, alpaca’s and other animals of that nature if you have the need. I volunteer at the Chattanooga zoo every week. I look forward to providing you with the security you need to have a good trip and to know your animals have gold standard care.

Samantha was very helpful with taking care of our cats during a trip which coincided with a challenging time for two of our boys. She was very communicative and accessible, and the cats seemed to enjoy her dropping in to check on them.
