Are you going out of town? Working long hours? Having guests visit? Wanting more activity for your fur baby? Just need some extra help with pet care? I’d love to connect with you. I’m a part-time graduate student and have a flexible schedule right now, so I’d be happy to stop by for a walk or visit during the day, or stay with your pet if you’re away!

Caring, active & friendly pet lover

Pet care experience

As someone who grew up on a farm, I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, and I love them all. I’ve owned both cats and dogs, so whether you’ve got an energetic doggo that needs lots of movement, a homebody pup that loves cuddles, or a shy kitty who just wants someone’s presence nearby, I am happy to accommodate to offer them the care they need. I have provided lots of exercise enrichment for the dogs I’ve cared for. I genuinely enjoy walking, so it makes both of our days when your pup(s) loves walking too! I also run and would be happy to take your dog on a run if you’re looking to give them some extra exercise. If you’re looking for a friendly and trustworthy person who will treat your pets kindly and with love, please reach out!

Samantha was wonderful! I thankfully I have easy pets but the day before we left my dog needed to go on meds, she was comfortable doing that and stayed on top them, I loved proof of her walking the dogs (Australian shepherds) and she left the house just the way we found it. The only way to fully enjoy a vacation is knowing your pets are well cared for!

Samantha was wonderful! Our pups loved her. She took great care of them. She sent many pictures letting us know how they were doing. She was very conscientious following our protocol. We will definitely have her back.
