Pet care experience

Best friend for your best friend

I have been a pet owner and off/on pet-sitter for over 30 years. There is not a time in my life I can remember not being surrounded by animals. I rescued my two dogs as puppies ten years ago, so I understand the strong unconditional love between pets and their people. I’m the girl who wants to make friends with every animal.. Animals over people! 😊 I look forward to learning more about your pets, taking them on walks, and providing them with the best care!

Boarding • May 27, 2025

Samantha was incredibly accommodating to our last-minute booking request, which we truly appreciated. From the start, her joyful spirit and kind demeanor were evident in every message and interaction. She made us feel completely at ease leaving our two dogs—one big, one little—in her care. Throughout their stay, Samantha provided thoughtful updates that showed how attentive and engaged she was. It was clear she took time to understand each dog’s personality and needs. Our big dog came home relaxed and happy, and our little one—who can be a bit particular—seemed genuinely comfortable and content. It’s not easy finding someone who handles different dog sizes and temperaments with such ease and positivity, but Samantha did just that. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, warm, and reliable caregiver for their pets!

Very kind and welcoming! Samantha was able to watch my pup last minute, and she made Laika feel at home. I definitely recommend her as your pup’s sitter! 😃

I am no stranger to some animal's anxiety and assisting in calming such anxieties. You can expect your home and fur-babies to be cared for as my own.

I love to stimulate pets physically and mentally. You can expect your pet to play all the games they know and sniff out all the new smells on our walks or potty breaks.
