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!

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!!

Samantha is amazing! This is the second time she has cared for Murphy and our home, only this time it was for two weeks versus a few days. She kept in daily contact, letting us know how Murphy was adjusting and sending photos. We returned to an immaculate home and a happy dog. I truly believe Murphy missed Samantha our first night home. I highly recommend Samantha!

We felt our pups were safe, on a fairly short notification time, and were able to enjoy our travels. Samantha cared for the house and pups excellently.

Safety, trust & environment

While I don't have a fenced in yard, I do have access to a fenced in play area. I also take my dog for daily walks and fit lots of play time into our usual schedule. Because I am used to doing this for my own down it comes naturally for me when caring for others pets.
