A typical day

I love making sure the pet I’m taking care of is having a blast! Always making sure they’re well fed & hydrated before getting into the fun part of our day. I love taking dogs on nature walks, playing fetch, teaching them new tricks, etc. I love playing with toys with cats or just letting them lounge on their favorite spot on the sofa.

Been a pet lover for 28 years!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with cats my entire life while also taking care of dogs in my spare time! For a few summers in a row, I was responsible for administering diabetes medication to a family friends yellow lab every morning and night, 7 am & 7 pm sharp. I was also in charge of doggy day care for two beautiful German shepherds for most of my high school years! Dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart and always will :)

Sam is absolutely amazing! She cared for my dog Spaghetti like he was her own, and when I came back, he didn’t even want to leave her. He was happily exhausted and clearly so loved. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Sam is one of the most caring people I know. She has always had my back and checked in with me when I need it most. Naturally, this kind of behavior translates to caring for animals. Despite Sam being a cat lover, I remember in undergrad, she was the girl who would stop to pet every single dog we saw on our walk to class. Sam is incredibly dependable, comforting, and passionate about what she cares about. I feel confident in saying that I would trust Sam with my life, and my pet's life. So, if you're considering Sam as a pet caregiver, she is, without a doubt, the best option for you and your best friend.

Samantha is a wonderful loving pet caregiver. She did a great job watching my two German shepherds over a weekend. She’s responsible and I trust her implicitly. I highly recommend her!
