Your Pet Will Never Know You Left!

I have always owned pets up until recently when I had to put my dog down after 15 years due to her loosing her battle with addison's disease. I realized after I missed having a pup around all the time and turned to pet sitting to fill the gap. From the time I was old enough I have always loved taking care of others pets. I understand the importance of routines and attention giving. I do work full-time during the week and am currently working from home but occasionally do need to go to the office so I would want to make sure your pets are ok being alone for at least 6 to 8 hours. If your pet is OK being at home alone while I'm at work then that's not a problem. I promise they will get plenty of attention when I get home! When staying with me your pet will have a large yard to play in and all the snuggles they can want! If they get along with other dogs I can also take them on play dates. I have experience with special needs dogs, elderly dogs and puppies!

Samantha was absolutely the best. She sends lots of photos and had lots of play time with my pup. Wayyyyy better than any dog boarding place.

Samantha does a great job watching our dog. Love getting pictures! She clearly dotes on our schnoodle and he has thrived in her care. We've had Samantha watch our dog three times and he has been happy when we come home.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are treated like they're my own. They are part of the family. They spend 90% of their day near us. We have a double back door to help prevent escape artists and big windows for watching the birds and squirrels.

A typical day

For walks we can go to the park (if they like that kind of thing) or we can walk around my neighborhood. Walks will be no shorter then 30-45 minutes!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Unneutered males accepted, spayed females only
No females in heat
Takes only one pet owner at a time
Samantha can host up to 2 pets per night
I do have a large backyard but pets will be leashed while out there. We do have a split level home so being comfortable with steps is a plus. If they are smaller, I have no problem carrying them.
