Caring pet confidant
Pet care experience
I have lived with, loved and taken care of bunny rabbits, 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 a reward at the end. The animals that I provide care for will always be greeted with much affection whether it be loving worlds of “ who’s my special boy/girl” or belly’s rubs and back scratches. Food and water bowls will be always be cleaned before and after feedings and walks/ play time will be long enough per animals stamina to give them somewhere to put their energy in a healthy way.
Reviews
Sammie was great! Very responsive to messages and provided frequent updates. Would definitely work with her again!
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.

1)I would always like to know if the animal is allergic to anything or takes medication ? 2) Does the animal have any injuries that could be triggered by certain activities ? 3)Do they get along with with or react well when they see other dogs ? I want to be certain wether or not I keep them away or let them sniff when we are on our walks. 4) Any or all special handling necessary.
