Safety, trust & environment
I provide safe, reliable, and attentive care for pets in their homes or on walks. I follow owner instructions closely, manage behavioral needs like leash reactivity, and provide play, exercise, and companionship tailored to each pet. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust, keeping owners updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.
Information Samantha H. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care, I like to know a few things ahead of time about your pet: • Health & Medical Needs: Any medications, allergies, or special dietary instructions. • Behavior & Temperament: How they interact with other dogs, people, or new environments. Any leash reactivity, fear, anxiety, or habits I should be aware of. • Daily Routine: Feeding schedule, potty routine, preferred walk times, and favorite activities. • Comfort & Preferences: Favorite toys, treats, snuggle spots, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. • Rules & Boundaries: Any off-limit areas in the house or behaviors to reinforce. Knowing these details allows me to tailor care, keep your pet safe and comfortable, and make sure they have a fun, stress-free experience while you’re away.
A typical day
A day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, safe, and engaged! I start by checking in on their needs, whether it’s a potty break, meal, or medications. From there, I tailor activities to your pet’s energy and personality: • Playtime & Exercise: Throwing a ball, tug-of-war, or interactive games indoors or in a secure, fenced area. For high-energy dogs, I provide walks or trips to the park for socialization and exploration. • Mental Stimulation: Puzzle toys, treat-dispensing games, or training sessions to keep their minds active and sharp. • Relaxation & Companionship: Snuggle time, gentle petting, and quiet bonding for pets who enjoy downtime. • Routine Care: Feeding, hydration, litter box or potty maintenance, administering medications if needed, and ensuring a clean, comfortable environment. • Safe Walks & Outdoor Time: Tailored walks, leash training if needed, and supervised socialization with other pets when allowed and safe. Throughout the day, I provide updates and photos so owners can see their pets having fun and being cared for. Every activity is designed to match the pet’s personality, energy, and needs, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover with extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with a Husky, Shar-Pei Chow mix, and German Shepherd, I learned early how to understand and manage different personalities and energy levels. Today, I share my home with my German Shepherd/Pyrenees mix and two cats, so I know firsthand the love, attention, and patience pets need every day. Professionally, I’ve worked in dog daycare, boarding, and pet sitting for years, giving me experience managing everything from high-energy pups to seniors and pets with special needs. As a Pack Leader at Pups Paradise, I supervised groups of 15–100+ dogs, ensuring safety, enrichment, and proper socialization while administering medications, managing dietary needs, and maintaining clean, comfortable environments. I also trained and trusted to open, close, and cover mid-shifts, perform late-night checks, and monitor dog health and behavior consistently. Through Rover and private dog walking/pet sitting, I provide personalized care for pets in their homes or outdoors. I’m experienced in all types of dog behaviors, including leash reactivity, dog-to-dog reactivity, fearfulness, and anxiety. I know how to keep walks and playtime safe, reduce stress, and help dogs feel confident and happy. I also administer medications—including pills, chewables, syringes, inhalers, and insulin shots—with care and precision. I take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners. I provide daily updates, photos, and detailed reports, ensuring owners feel confident and stress-free while they’re away. From playful pups to pets needing extra care or attention, I treat every animal like family. My goal is simple: your pet’s well-being, happiness, and comfort come first.
Reviews
Samantha takes excellent care of Daisy. She is very responsible and thoughtful.
She helped me in my time when I needed to work and I had a last-minute pick up so I appreciate her so much!!
Samantha exceeded all my expectations as a dog sitter! She is an excellent communicator, kept the house and yard clean, and went above and beyond her listed responsibilities when I had an unexpected delivery while I was gone. My anxious border collie was happy and relaxed with Samantha.
Samantha was fantastic with my dog Sammy. She took him for a long walk and made sure his water bowl was filled before leaving!
