Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in other peoples homes depending on the owners needs! I am able to hang out and play with the dog at home, stay overnight, and/or take them on walks!

Information Samantha C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, diets, or physical needs I should know about! I have administered oral medicine, skin level injections, and catered to elder pets before—so just let me know what helps your animals be well cared for!

A typical day

I love to play with pets, throw toys around, and go on walks! I also love just hanging out and of course my absolute favorite thing—animal snuggles. :)

Sam was wonderful! She arrived on time and texted us to let us know her ETA. Our two babies are slow to warm up to new people, but Sam was great with them. She was very engaged and asked questions that clearly indicated how focused she was on learning about our babies. We were surprised at how quickly our two little ones acclimated to Sam. I highly recommend her!

I was extremely happy with the care Samantha provided for my dog while I was away. My dog has special needs, so finding someone I can trust is especially important, and Samantha exceeded my expectations. She was very communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my dog was receiving excellent care and attention. When I returned home, everything was clean, neat, and exactly as I had left it. It was clear that Samantha took great care of both my dog and my home. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional sitter.
