Pet care experience

Caring pet confidant

I have lived with, loved and taken care of cats and dogs of all ages all my life. I started house sitting for dogs and cats since I was in high school. Along with that I volunteered at a human society on the island in Hawaii where I am from. During my time there I would bath the animals, clean their kennels and walk them with treats as their acknowledgment of their good job! The pets that I provide care for will always be greeted and treated with much affection! Food and water bowls will always be attended to based on directions of pet parents. When it’s time to play and go on walks it will be long enough per pets stamina to give them somewhere to put their energy in a healthy way.

Safety, trust & environment

Bonus! Since I don’t house pets there is no worry of what will happen to them when they are away from their home. It’s easier to keep them in their normal day to day environment!

AMAZING doesn’t even begin to describe how incredible she was! She took amazing care of my 8-week-old puppy and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She is kind, patient, attentive, and truly loves dogs. My puppy absolutely adored her! I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely book her again. She exceeded every expectation. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my puppy—you truly deserve every five-star review! 🐶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dog Walking • Jan 23, 2022

Samantha came to meet Penny a few days in advance. It was nice to know Penny would get a walk while we were gone and Samantha sent some pictures.

Samantha did an amazing job watching our cat. She was very reliable, gave great updates, and took care of our cat when he got sick.

Samantha has always been involved in caring for our beloved babies. From snuggling to feeding and going for long walks. Sam believes in letting them decide what they want to sniff, (as long as it’s safe), and the room to mark all applicable territory. Sam has been receptive to specified preferences and adhering to required schedule duties. Sam has always been a joy to work with. I feel so happy to have the opportunity to share our experiences. You will certainly be at ease with leaving Samantha to look after your precious pets.

Samantha is an amazing sitter and definitely has a passion for pets! She gets along super well with cats and is very prompt and communicative, I know I can trust my Honey with her when I'm out of town again.
