Pet care experience
The classic “I love and respect animals” but with a twist! I have always loved being surrounded by animals, so much so that I’ve spent the last 5 years researching and working with various wildlife species. On the domestic front, bosses/neighbors/friends have asked me to pet-sit for their cats, dogs, birds, amphibians, and reptiles! My experiences range from ensuring special care for senior animals with specific needs, to watchful care for energetic puppies and kittens, to everything in between. I make sure to provide companionship and love up on (with consent) any animals in my care. I understand the anxieties that come with leaving your pet in someone else’s care, I update clients regularly with pictures and info to ease any worries. I can assure you your pet will be looked after in a very relaxed environment!
Reviews
Samantha was great! She stayed overnight for an extended period while I was out of the country and took great care of my cat. She was communicative and sent lots of pics!
Sam took fantastic care of our two pups and our home while we were away. I would definitely hire her again.
Thanks for taking good care of Leo.
Samatha was called upon in a pinch when our regular Rover person was not available and she did a wonderful job caring for our Igor, Ilya, and Galina! Highly recommended!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to have a meet and greet before services are booked, though I do understand things come up last minute and a meet and greet may not happen. Safety is priority, and during meet and greets I ask about pets habits, food allergies, when and if treats are given, etc. During stays I make sure all gates, doors, windows…any escape routes, are closed and secured. I am also well versed in what certain animals can and cannot ingest, so there would be no incompetence on that front.
Information Samantha F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any and all information you feel important to share! Especially information about the health, stamina, or behavior of your beloved pet.
A typical day
Whatever your pet enjoys doing is fine with me! I am happy to provide multiple walks a day, play with toys, run around the yard, if that’s what they like. I am also always down to lounge and give them lots of love, or pampering if they like a good grooming session!
