Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I plan my day around the needs of the pets I care for—morning walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care they need. I also have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. With my 1-year-old daughter by my side, we enjoy peaceful walks, outdoor time, and gentle play that keeps your pet feeling loved and cared for like family.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to their routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I keep a clean and calm environment, give them lots of attention, and always make sure they have fresh water, a cozy place to rest, and feel emotionally supported—especially if they have anxiety. I also have my gentle 1-year-old daughter with me, and she’s growing up learning to be kind and respectful to all animals.

Information Samantha G. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting with your pet, I’d love to know: • Any allergies or dietary restrictions • Specific behaviors or personality traits • If your pet has anxiety, fear triggers, or needs extra comfort This helps me create the best possible experience for your pet while they’re in my care.

A typical day

I love to stimulate a pets physical and mental. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park nearby.

Pet care experience

I adore animals and love being around all types—big or small. I believe pets deserve to be treated with lots of love, respect, and gentle care. Building trust with any animal is very important to me. I enjoy going on morning walks and getting fresh air, and if your pet loves outdoor time, we’ll definitely enjoy some peaceful moments together. As a loving mom, I do have my sweet 1-year-old daughter with me during pet visits. She’s calm, gentle, and already growing up surrounded by animals. I make sure our time with your pet is safe, enriching, and relaxed for everyone. Keeping your pet well-groomed is also important to me, and I’m happy to provide gentle baths if needed. If your pet has anxiety, please let me know in advance so I can create a soothing environment. I also recommend CBD for pets in certain cases. Most mornings are slow and relaxing—perfect for a stroll through the neighborhood or by the water. Afternoons are flexible for playtime or cuddle time, and I’m always happy to enjoy a peaceful day at the park with your fur baby. When we’re outside, your pet has my full attention. Inside, I make sure any potentially harmful items are safely out of reach. There’s always space for your pet to feel free, comfortable, and safe. 🦋🌻✨

We needed a pet sitter for our big vacation, and we really like Samantha after having her pet sit several times now. She did a great job of keeping the cats happy while also staying in our home so we knew the house was ok as well. We get pictures and updates, and she always responds quickly if we check in.

Samantha has done a great job watching our two cats, yet again. When we were concerned that one cat was too busy hiding to come out and eat food, Samantha made sure she had food in the room she was hiding in and also let us know when she saw the food was eaten. Coming back to our house and happy cats, we can’t even tell she’s been here for several days as everything is just how we left it.

We were going to be gone longer than we are comfortable leaving the cats alone, and Samantha kept the cats company so we could enjoy our trip without worrying. We got photos and updates, and came home to two happy cats. Thank you, Samantha!

Samantha was great! After reading her other good reviews, we felt she’d be a good choice for our two cats (both friendly, but one is a sneaky wire chewer and needs closer watching). We got daily updates with photos, making us feel good about our cats being safe, and the cats were calm and happy when we got home.
