I'm currently unemployed and have a lot of availability! I don't do much nowadays, and would love to spend some time with some cute animals. I prefer not to work Sundays and Mondays, however that is simply a preference and not set it stone. I have a lot of flexibility!

Safety, trust & environment

I do not care for other pets in my own home, specifically because our cat is easily startled and I absolutely do not want to stress him out with unfamiliar animals! I'd be happy to care for your pets in your home. I can handle feeding, playtime, and administering some medications. I can also do shorter walks (under 15 mins)

Information Samantha H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors, or quirks I should know about. The more information you can give me, the better! I would also love to know about their prefetences--favorite toys/treats, activities, etc.

A typical day

I love playing with animals, and would be happy to play with yours! Stimulation is very important. Nothing good comes out of boredom, and keeping them engaged is always a fun time.

Pet care experience

I've had cats and dogs most of my life, and have had many other pets over the years. I used to volunteer at the local animal shelter, and in recent years, have started dog sitting for a pack of 4 giant dogs. I also have experience caring for pigeons, rabbits, frogs, and hamsters. I love all animals, even the slimy and slithery ones, and feel comfortable caring for any pet with proper instructions.

Samantha is such a wonderful & professional person. My house was left just as clean & spotless as I left it!!! My scared little rescues cats fell in love with her kind nature. I will rebook with her & would recommend her to anyone:)

Samantha was great keeping me in the loop on how the boys were doing and the boys seemed really happy she hung out with them while I was gone!
