Looking to hang with some pets!

Pet care experience

Caring for animals for the past 16 years has taught me patience and understanding. It allowed me to hone in on my observational skills, so that I can give your pet the best care it needs. I have studied in vet clinics, worked in wildlife rehabilitation, am a current dog owner, and currently work for Prestige Sitting. I am comfortable with walking/feeding/providing medicines/bathing/etc. and of course playing!

Sam was wonderful! She was able to stay with George on short notice after other plans fell through. She kept me updated while I was away and took great care of George. Highly recommend and would be happy to have her stay with George again.

Sam sent regular messages and kept me updated about my dog’s status. It was my first time leaving my dog and sam was very understanding.

Samantha communicated well about Khaleesi's walk and made a big difference for both of our day!

Safety, trust & environment

My number one priority is making sure your pet is comfortable and as stress free as possible. Before caring for a pet, I verify where the feeding/water bowl locations are, their typical chilling spots, your command methods, and general care needs., I typically clean water/eating bowls and litter daily unless told otherwise! I like to send check ins to the owner, so that they are stress free as well :) Pet exercise and play is always a good way to make the pet feel cozy and good when their owner is away, so I try to do as much as this as I can within the time for the visit. Whenever I walk my pets, I make sure they get at least 15- 20 minutes!
