Pet care experience

I am a zoology major & love animals

I have taken care of pets since I was about 12. Friends and family have relied on me to look after their fur-babies for as long as they need me to. I love animals with all my heart, and love to take care of them.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide the best care when I know your pet’s schedule. If you leave instructions, I will follow them. If something doesn’t make sense to me, I will ask. If your pet requires special medication that needs to be taken at a specific time or in a specific way, I will do that. The health and safety of your fur-babies is my top priority, and u can expect me to treat them with the utmost respect.

Dog Walking • Jun 24, 2025

Samantha was excellent with Rosie while we were out of town! She is a wonderful communicator and I can tell Rosie was comfortable with her right away. Samantha is knowledgeable and patient and asked great questions when meeting us and kept me up to date during our time away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable dog-walker!

House Sitting • Jun 12, 2025

Sam did a great job house sitting and watching my cat for almost 3 weeks while I was away. She even saved a mouse that my cat caught and took it outside. So happy she was there! Our cat was happy and looked great when we got home.

Sam did an amazing job looking after my 3 cats while I was working snow removal with long hours. Sam looked after everything for them and would text me if I needed to buy more food or anything. Sam's communication with me regarding my cats was greatly appreciated. They know what their doing when it comes to animals.

I have known Sam for many years and they have always been very caring for their pets! They have a large breed dog who is very well cared for. They have watched our large and high maintenance dog while on vacation, along with taking care of our property. They have always been quick to contact us if any sort of emergency happens while we’re gone. We trust them in our home and to be responsible for our dog. As an OPP officer, I can attest to Sam’s character and capabilities to care for any animals needs.
