Pet sitter and pet lover :)

Pet care experience

My family has always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been looking after animals my whole life. In college I started fostering cats, and I also volunteered as a dog walker at my local shelter. I adopted my own cat Freddy about two years ago and absolutely love him. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as shy, friendly, and semi-feral cats.

Samantha was very communicative and handled our picky cat’s oral medication like a pro!

Samantha took wonderful care of Bruno while we were gone! She was super communicative, sent updates, and made sure everything was taken care of.

Samantha was again, a fantastic sitter for our kitty! Very responsive, communicative, and overall super easy and seamless to connect with. She’s full of love and sweetness for furry friends. Appreciated her updates and pics during our time away.

Samantha was a great cat sitter! Our cat warmed right up to her and she sent good pictures with her updates. Would recommend!

I live in an apartment in a great, family friendly area of Brookline. There are multiple dog parks nearby, as well as walking trails. I’m able to take a dog outside as frequently as necessary since I work on an independent schedule from home.

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know how your dog does with other pets (since I have my own cat at home, but there’s enough space to keep the two separate if need be). Additionally, I’d love to know all the good stuff—favorite toys, if they enjoy a nice belly rub, etc. Anything you think is important!

A typical day

I personally love going for long walks, and am more than happy to take your pet along with me. I’m not too far from the Esplanade trail, and am also close to some fenced in dog parks where we can both enjoy a little running around :)
