Safety, trust & environment

I will ensure your non human family member feels loved and cared for. I also have a pup of my own so if your dog needs a friend then I can bring him along and they can have a play date. I am comfortable with giving medication and ensure that your pets diet is followed.

Information Samantha D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. I’d like to make my time with them as enjoyable for them as possible.

A typical day

I love playing with animals and giving them enrichment through engaging activities. Playing fetch, hiding toys, and using puzzles are just some of the activities I like to do while caring for your pet.

Pet care experience

When I was younger I started a pet sitting business in my community which I was very successful. I love animals of all sizes and have had dogs and cats all of my life. I’ve also had horses, turtles, iguanas and birds.

Samantha took wonderful care of my two cats while I was gone for a few days. I came home to a clean and happy household. She’s a great communicator and made me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend her.

Samantha was wonderful to Edger and myself over the course of 10 days. With in 2 days Edger came around to her care and loving touch. All that I asked to attent to was executed perfectly. I can't thank her enough for her kindness and consistancy. I hope to be able to use her again in Feburary this year. Thank you, Katie Kirk

Samantha took great care of our cat Dexter! She was very communicative, responded quickly, and made sure to provide us with pictures and updates about how he was doing! I would highly recommend her!
