Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient, Reliable Pet Care
I've grown up with cats and dogs and also have experience caring for rabbits and other small pets. As an approved foster for RAGOM (Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota) and a former foster with The Bond Between, I've worked with animals of different ages, personalities, and backgrounds. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with each pet on their own terms. I love keeping animals happy and engaged through walks, playtime, enrichment activities, training exercises, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet prefers adventure, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I've also provided pet-sitting services for coworkers and friends throughout the past year and have recently opened up my schedule to welcome new clients. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I'm happy to follow any routines, instructions, or special requests to ensure your pet stays comfortable and stress-free while you're away. I work in Chaska, which allows me flexibility for visits before work, during my lunch break, or after work, and I live in Crystal and am able to travel where needed when not working. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Samantha was wonderful with both my dogs. Not only was she early but sent pics and of my dogs to let me know they were in good hands. We have a 3 month and 5 year old lab and she knew exactly how to entertain them and keep them safe.
Samantha is the best!! I cannot recommend her highly enough. We have a puppy and a senior cat, both of whom need lots of attention. She was able to drop by everyday after work while we were out of town and keep them company. We were so grateful for her updates and the amazing job she did.
Sam did an amazing job taking care of our kitties! We have 4 cats and 2 of them can be a handful at times. She kept us up to date while we were out of town which we appreciated and everyone was loved on and well taken care of.
Sam did a wonderful job caring for our 2 dogs and 2 rabbits! We used her for years and were so sad when she moved away. Our animals were always well cared for and worn out by the time we got home! She took them for walks, played with them at home, and hung around the house to keep them company.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am able to follow any directions and guidance you give in order to keep your pet safe. Their safety and your peace of mind is my number one goal and I would never put them at risk. I am comfortable taking them out in public if you are comfortable with it, but am also happy to stay home and in your yard if that is your preference :)
Pets
A typical day
I will take your pet for walks, do training exercises, play with their toys, and snuggle. I want to keep them engaged and active, but also relax and spend quality time with them.
