Safety, trust & environment

I take safety very seriously. I have experience working with skittish animals, as well as energetic animals. I always make sure doors & gates are locked/shut, playtime is supervised, and the environment is free from any potential hazards.

Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors. I don't have a breed preference (cat or dog), but I do have more experience working with medium to low energy animals.

A typical day

For drop-ins, I love to play with the cat or dog: tug-a-war, toy wands, zoomies in the backyard… you name it! For lower-energy animals, I also love to give pets, scratches, and cuddle time on the couch! Whatever your pet prefers!

Trusted Care for Your Pets

Pet care experience

Thank you for checking out my profile! I grew up with several different types of pets (dogs, cats, fish, and hermit crabs.) I absolutely love both dogs and cats, but have a soft spot for elderly animals!

Samantha gave my cat excellent care and attention. Daily photo updates were appreciated. Would gladly use her services again.

I have known Samantha for over 3 years now. We were in the puppy blues and we needed someone to play with our puppy once a day, 5 days a week. She was always on time and wore our puppy out! We would hear our puppy playing and you know she was having the best time. After the puppy phase was over, we still have Samantha take care of both of our pups now (pitbulls) and they enjoy being with her. I know Samantha is someone I can truly trust with our fur babies.

Samantha loves animals of all kinds and knows just how to take care of pets when their owners are gone! She is an absolutely lovely person and has a big heart for all your furry friends! I think my dog loves her more than he loves me!

I can’t recommend Samantha enough when it comes to caring for pets. They are incredibly detail-oriented, making sure every little routine and need is taken care of with love and precision. Their hardworking and determined nature means they don’t just do the basics—they go above and beyond. What really stands out is their positivity; they bring a sunshine-like energy that pets (and people!) can’t help but feel comfortable around. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and full of joy to look after your pet, Samantha is the perfect choice.
