I currently work full time Monday through Friday 8-4:30, but I work from home 3 days a week and can provide potty breaks and walks on my lunch breaks on those days, as well as visits before and after work if need be.

About Samantha C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
All pet care will take place in your home, as I do not have the room or pets that are comfortable with others coming into their home. This also limits the amount of stress your loved one goes through during this time.
Information Samantha C. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know about any health issues, medications, behavioral quirks, and things that they dislike. I want to ensure that I provide them with a tailored pet sitting experience that will enrich their days, and keep them as happy and stress-free while their people are away.
A typical day
I will take any dogs for long walks where they can smell everything, and explore. If you have a fenced in yard that they are allowed off-leash in and they are physically able to, I will throw a ball or toy for them. I will also brush any dogs and cats if that is something they enjoy. For the kitty's, I will play with them using their favorite toys. They'll of course get all the pats and cuddles too!

Pet care experience
I am a "retired" (career change) veterinary nurse with over 7 years of professional experience, along with 25 years of personal experience caring for creatures of all shapes and sizes. I am comfortable taking care of your furry family members of any age, or health status. I can easily and happily draw up and administer medications orally, or by injection. I have experience handling cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and horses. I have my own special needs elderly kitty, which means I completely understand how important routines are for them. I can comfortably walk your dogs of any size, but any dog over 65lbs must be well behaved on a leash. I will keep you up to date with photos and updates of your fur baby while you're out of town. I am reliable, and easily reachable. I will provide you and your pets with the highest standard of care.

Reviews
Took great care of both my kitties and was very patient when they were naughty. Very communicative and always provided updates and pictures while I was away. It made my 2 weeks away much easier that they were in good hands. She went above and beyond, cleaning the litterboxes, making sure the auto-feeders were filled, refilled the water containers even giving my kidney kitty her fluids.
Sam is wonderful! She takes excellent care of our cat!
Sam was responsible, reliable, made sure to provide fresh water and scoop the litter each visit. She was communicative, adaptable and responsive to my cat’s needs. She made me confident that my cat was being well taken care of!
Sam is a great sitter! She always sends lots of photos and gives thorough updates. We always come home to happy kitties that we know were well cared for while we were gone.
