Highlights
Pet care experience
My kids call me the animal queen
I have cared for rabbits, cats, and dogs over the course of my life. I grew up with a rescued kitten who lived a healthy, active life for 15 years before he developed feline diabetes. For two years, we gave him daily injections to maintain his health as best we could. When I began life outside of my childhood home, I adopted a lion head rabbit that lived long enough to become my children’s first pet. While I was living in Queens, New York, I spent a year dog walking and pet sitting around Astoria and Long Island City. My responsibilities included individual and group dog walks, in-home care for elderly and special needs dogs and cats, cat care, litter box/wee wee pad changing, and feeding.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Samantha enough! She has been walking and caring for my pug, Hudson, since he was just 2½ months old. She is dependable, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond. Samantha doesn’t just walk Hudson—she genuinely cares about his wellbeing. She even takes the time to check him for ticks after their walks, which gives me so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she is incredibly trustworthy. Inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your puppy is a big deal. Hudson absolutely adores her, and it’s clear she treats every dog as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, responsible, and truly passionate about what she does, Samantha is the best. We are so grateful to have found her!
Samantha is very caring, gentle, calm and trustworthy. She is punctual, follows instructions and will communicate - she will ask important questions to be sure she is providing the best and correct care. She is in tune with animals behavior (her experience being mostly in dogs, cats and rabbits) and can pick up on cues of needs/wants. Samantha has had several pets over the years of her own and has cared for others - she knows what it is to love and treat any pet as family. I trust her coming into my home and caring for cat any time i need her.
Samantha is detailed and thoughtful in her care of animals. She's been reliable for the years that I've known her and feel confident in her ability to handle my 2 large dogs, they love her!

Schedule
I am currently a stay at home mom and freelance writer, so my schedule is very flexible between the hours of 8am and 3pm while my children are at school.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
As a cat mom, I understand how important safety is when it comes to animal care. From the moment I walk into the house, keeping your pet safe is my priority. During my time with your pet, I will do my due diligence to make sure your pet is safe and happy from harnessing and leashing, through the walk, and finally my departure. I know the importance of staying alert on walks, constantly taking in the environment for any potential dangers from other animals, people, and vehicles.
