Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to caring for your dogs, I make safety and trust my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your pup, staying with them in your home, or just dropping by for a visit, you can count on me to treat them as if they were my own. I always pay close attention to their surroundings, making sure walks are safe, leashes are secure, and they’re never put in uncomfortable situations. Your trust means everything to me, and I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with their routines, and keep communication open so you always know how they’re doing. I also believe a calm, positive environment is key to happy pets. Whether it’s giving them plenty of exercise, engaging playtime, or just quiet companionship, I do my best to create an environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

Information Samantha C. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know more about your pet ….things like medical needs, routines, or behaviors. This way I can understand them better and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me.

A typical day

A typical day for me starts early. I feed my parrots and rabbit first, then my two dogs, who usually join me for a Starbucks run since they love their pup cups. On school days, I head to class, and I also work in the food industry. Even with my busy schedule, I always make time to care for pets, and I’ll make sure yours get the same love and attention I give my own.

Caring, patient, energetic

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Samantha, and I’ve been surrounded by fur babies my entire life. Growing up, I had two miniature poodles, one of whom had special needs. He struggled with chronic allergies and a seizure disorder, and I helped care for him with daily medications and a special diet that gave him a long, happy life until he passed at 16 years old. Today, my family includes two standard poodles, two parrots, and a rabbit. Beyond that, I also care for the wildlife around my home. I feed 20–30 blue jays daily, I feed stray cats, and I’ve built enough trust with the wild rabbits in my yard that they now let me hand-feed them. Those quiet moments with animals bring me so much joy. In high school, I pursued my passion for animal care by completing the BOCES veterinary program, where I earned two Awards of Excellence. I also hold a Veterinary Medical Assistant certification, which reflects my dedication to giving animals the love and care they deserve. I’m starting college this fall and am excited about my future, but my love for animals will always hold a big place in my heart. That’s why I’ve decided to make room for even more fur babies by offering my help here to anyone in need.

Samantha is one of the sweetest and kindest people I know, with a huge heart for all animals. She helps my husband and I care for our poodles, especially my male poodle who has hip dysplasia and an injured leg. He receives injections twice a week for his condition and takes Dasuquin daily to support his joint health, and Samantha has been such a big help with his care. My husband and I also feel at ease when we travel, knowing that our dogs are in her hands. She truly gives us peace of mind. What makes Samantha so special is the way she connects with animals on such a genuine level. She is patient, gentle, and always attentive to their needs. Even when my poodle has his tough days, she takes the time to comfort him and make sure he feels safe. She doesn’t just handle the basics of feeding or walking, she notices the little details that matter, like when he’s moving a bit stiff or when he just needs some extra love and attention. She’s also incredibly reliable, which is something that’s hard to come by. It’s clear that she doesn’t just see this as a responsibility but as something she truly cares about. Whether it’s helping us with the medical side of things, giving them playtime, walking them or just being there for snuggles, Samantha puts her whole heart into it.
