Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Favorite Houseguest
Leaving your pets behind can be hard, and the last thing you should have to do while you’re away is worry about what’s happening at home. My goal is to make that part easy—keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and keep you updated along the way. With 10 years of pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. And when I’m staying in your home, I understand you’re trusting me with more than your pets. I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. At the end of the day, I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing I’ve got things handled at home—and that your pets are safe, loved, comfortable, and probably getting a few extra cuddles while you’re gone.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated while you’re away, and make sure you come home to happy pets and a home that’s been well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Samantha is absolutely wonderful! From the initial meet and greet, I immediately felt confident that she would be a great fit for our dogs. She was kind, responsive, dependable, and communicated so well throughout our entire trip. I especially appreciated all of the photos, videos, and detailed report cards she sent after each visit. It made such a difference being able to see how our boys were doing and know they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Being able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about them was honestly priceless. Samantha was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly took the time to get to know our two dogs rather than just stopping in to check a box. We felt completely comfortable having her care for them and are grateful for her services! We would absolutely use her again in the future. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter!!
Samantha is superb! She was able to come a day earlier and sent me updates and photos every single day. She left the house extremely clean and went above and beyond! I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be rebooking with her!!
Punctual, flexible and engaging. Glad, that our paths have crossed.
Samantha was amazing at every visit! Her communication was flawless and she is very reliable. She is patient and excellent with our shy dog mikalah. We will definitely look forward to rebooking with her, and highly recommend!
Samantha took really great care of our girls! She was also so kind to water our plants and send great updates with pictures each visit.
Samantha was great! Spoiled my dogs. One of the best sitters ever.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for rather than trying to squeeze them in around a traditional workday. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, and I’m intentional about how I schedule bookings, so I’m not rushing from one pet to the next. For house sitting, I make your home my home base while you’re away and plan my day around your pets and their normal routine. I may come and go throughout the day, just as I would at home, but I’m mindful of how long your pets are comfortable being alone and make sure they get plenty of time, attention, and company while you’re gone.

- Tell me all the little things! I want to know your pet’s normal routine, favorite things, quirks, fears, medications or special needs, and anything that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. If there are behaviors I should be aware of—leash reactivity, escape attempts, food guarding, anxiety, or anything else—please let me know ahead of time. The more I know about what’s “normal” for your pet, the better I can care for them and recognize if something seems off.
