Reliable Cat Sitter and Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

Hello there! I'm Sammy, your dedicated and experienced pet care professional. Since the tender age of 10, I've been wholeheartedly caring for pets, starting with my own beloved cats and dogs. I even began my journey in pet sitting and dog walking for family friends and neighbors at that young age! With a special place in my heart for our furry friends, I've developed a deep appreciation for the unique needs and joys that each pet brings into our lives. I've had the pleasure of caring for a variety of animals. Having faced the challenges of caring for my late angel, Bootsie, who battled an autoimmune disease and diabetes, I received extensive training from veterinarians. I am well-versed in various at-home medications, including liquids, pills, injections, and topicals. Whether it's seamlessly mixing medications with food or administering them directly, your pet's well-being is always my top priority. Currently, pet care is my primary focus, and I'm thrilled to announce that I have full open availability to cater to your pets' needs. No need to worry about my schedule; I'm here for your pets with undivided attention. I understand the importance of keeping you connected with your fur babies, and for every drop-in visit or walk, I make sure to capture the memorable moments. Expect around 5 delightful pictures per session, so you can share in the joy and reassurance that your pets are in great hands. My approach to pet care is centered around creating a stress-free and comfortable environment. I steer clear of anything that might induce stress, ensuring that your pets feel secure and content in my presence. From gentle playtime to cozy cuddles, your pets will receive the love and attention they deserve. I'm thrilled at the opportunity to meet and care for your beloved pets. Let's make their time away from you as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Feel free to reach out, and together we'll create a tailored care plan that suits your pets' unique personalities and needs! Looking forward to meeting you and your adorable companions soon!

Safety, trust & environment

In caring for pets in their home environment, I prioritize creating a safe and trusting atmosphere. Recognizing that I am initially a stranger to the animals, I understand the stress that may accompany this unfamiliarity. Building trust is paramount, and I take intentional steps to establish a connection before engaging in any activities. This can involve using treats, sitting calmly in the same space, and allowing the pet to approach at their own pace. I am mindful of avoiding stress triggers, refraining from playing loud music or making sudden movements that might startle them. My body language is a crucial aspect, as animals are perceptive to human emotions. In the presence of your pets, they will sense a loving and positive energy from me, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience during our time together. Trust is the foundation of a strong bond, and I prioritize cultivating it to make each interaction a positive one for your furry companions.

Information Samantha B. would like to know about your pet

In anticipation of our time together, I aim to create a tailored and comfortable experience for your pets. Understanding their unique temperament is the foundation, allowing me to approach them in a manner that aligns with their comfort levels. Insights into their favorite toys and preferred play styles guide our interactive sessions, ensuring they engage in activities they love. Knowledge about eating habits, preferred foods, and any dietary restrictions enables me to maintain their regular feeding routine with the foods they enjoy. If medications are part of their routine, please provide details, and rest assured that I am proficient in administering various types. Awareness of any existing medical conditions ensures I can accommodate their health needs appropriately. For our canine friends, details about their walking habits, leash behavior, and reactions to other dogs help tailor our walks for a safe and enjoyable experience. Your proactive sharing of these details enhances the quality of care I provide, ensuring your pets receive personalized attention and affection during our time together.

A typical day

A typical day in my cat care routine begins with a thorough headcount, ensuring that all fur babies are present and in good health. Once the initial check is complete, I move on to their daily essentials, providing meals, refreshing water, and maintaining a clean litter box environment. After attending to these necessities, the remainder of my time is dedicated to building a positive connection with the cat, tailoring my approach to suit their unique personality. Whether it's a session of quiet companionship, gentle pets, and cuddles, or an energetic playtime with their favorite toys, I prioritize ensuring they feel loved and secure during their family's absence. When it comes to dog walking, the day kicks off with a comprehensive check to confirm the well-being of each dog under my care. Before hitting the outdoors, I conduct a thorough check of the house, ensuring a safe environment and being prepared for any potential emergencies. The walking adventure is designed to provide a stimulating exercise that not only meets their physical needs but also allows them to take care of business. With the owner's permission, I love incorporating some playtime into the walk, adding an extra layer of joy and interaction to our time together. Each day is crafted to meet the unique needs and preferences of your pets, ensuring a fulfilling and enjoyable experience in their daily routine.
