Availability

I work very part-time, but am home during most the day with my daughter, working an occasional weekend here and there during the day. I have a very flexible schedule at this time! If I have pets to sit, they are my priority and I am available to play, snuggle, and love on them as much or as little as they would like!

Safety, trust & environment

I always treat the pets I sit for as if they were my own! When boarding at mine, I have a small crate available for small dogs who are used to being crated, and am happy to accommodate bigger crates if provided. If your pet is house-trained, I am also happy to have them roam the main level during the day or at night and have a baby gate if they'd feel more comfortable remaining in a single room. I have a fenced in back yard so your fur baby can go outside and play and a very safe neighborhood for walks during the day! Please keep in mind that I live with my husband and 1-year old baby who is crawling, so it would be best if your pets have no issues with men or children!

Information Samantha F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or wants that I will need to account for when sitting or specific behaviors when interacting with other animals for when I take them on walks.

A typical day

Whenever I pet sit, your pet is my priority. I love to ensure mental and physical stimulation by playing with them with any favorite toys, taking them on as many walks as they like, and running around with them in the back yard. If they are more interested in lounging around, I'm happy to lounge with them and give them lots of pets and snuggles!

Pet care experience

I grew up around animals and have had pets practically my whole life. I've taken care of neighbors' and friends' pets, and when I was in high school, I worked as a kennel technician and in-house trained vet technician for several years. I love all animals and since I don't have a pet of my own right now, my quality animal time comes from pet sitting, so you can be assured that your pet will be taken care of as if they were my own! I primarily board in my home, but can also do drop-ins at your house, depending on your needs and wants! I only host multiple dogs at a time if they are family, so you can be assured that your dog(s) will receive individualized attention. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon!

Samantha was totally awesome! She was great with Ozzie, who, at the last minute had an eye issue and needed meds for it. Samantha is so easy going and accommodaing! I would highly recommend her for sitting!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been using Samantha to board my Corgi regularly and she always does a great job caring for him! I really appreciate the photo updates as well knowing my dog is safe and having fun while I’m away. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring boarder!
