Pet care experience

I love short lived companionship!

I grew up never having a pet before then one day in college my roommate got a puppy! I’ve taken care of her boxer-pug mix from 12 weeks to 2 years old. It was a journey in the beginning, but I learned so many valuable skills that allow me to be confident in caring for more dogs in the future.

Samantha has always been a fantastic sitter for my first dog, but I just adopted a second dog, and she blew me away with how amazingly she cared for both of them! I really cannot say enough good things about Samantha, thank you again for making me feel so secure about leaving my precious babies!

Samantha took wonderful care of Nala. She kept us updated on how Nala was adjusting and on her activities. I appreciated Samantha's kind attention and patience with our pup. I'll definitely book Samantha again and recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care for their dog.

I’m always a little nervous leaving Eddie with new sitters, but Samantha made me feel so at ease. She cared for and spoiled Eddie in every way that he deserved, sent me regular (adorable) pictures and updates, and carefully followed every care instruction I gave her. His excitement when I picked him up was showed me just how much he enjoyed his time with her, and I’m sure he can’t wait to go again. Thank you Samantha!
