Samantha was a wonderful pet sitter and guest in our home! She provided regular updates while we were gone and went the extra mile to leave our space tidy & clean upon our return. Would recommend her to anyone!

Samantha was great with my energetic Aussie! Booked for in home sitting over the holidays. Came home to a happy dog and a clean house. I recommend and will use again!

We felt very comfortable leaving our pup and home in trust with Samantha, and she was highly recommended to us by a previous dog sitter/walker. She arrived when she said she would and stayed with Dottie the whole weekend. The house was just as we left it, and Dottie was overly excited to see us. Samantha ran the dishwasher and washed the bed sheets so everything was all clean when we got home. We were nervous leaving Dottie as she had not been away from us before since we had her (over a year). Samantha was responsive when we asked for updates about how Dottie was doing.

Samantha took great care of our dogs and home while we were gone for a weekend trip. We came back to happy, healthy pups. They absolutely loved her!!
