Very attentive dog and cat lover

Pet care experience

I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and I’ve always been very involved with the pets of my friends and family. Dogs typically have some anxiety about being in a new place with a new person, and I'm pretty good at soothing them and making them feel comfortable quickly. Whether they need to burn off energy hiking in the woods every day, or just need a quiet, calm place to hang out, your pup will be safe, loved, and have a great time.

Samantha took great care of our animals, our dog and one cat acclimated immediately and the other cat needed some TLC. She did a great job with all of them, thanks! We'll be having you pet sit again.

Samantha is AWESOME! She was super friendly, had great communication, and treated my cat like her own! She sent great photos, updates, and even had a pet cam watching her when she couldn’t be in the room! Great service!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one bedroom apartment with my cat, who loves dogs and is used to being around them, and my little senior dog. If your dog is good with cats and old dogs, we’ll do a meet and greet to make sure this is a good fit. If your dog is very playful with other dogs, my dog will be overwhelmed if they don't understand that they need to back off. Let me know what the rules, commands, and preferences are for your dog, and I’ll do my best to be consistent.

Information Samantha H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs, sensitivities, allergies, preferences, and behaviors to be aware of. Have they had any bad experiences with cats? Do they lunge or nip at other dogs? Do they have separation anxiety? What are their favorite things?

A typical day

I walk with my dog and our guest pup around Tenney Park and down the bike path every day. I don't do off-leash parks to keep your dog as safe as possible. Your dog can nap on my bed, couch, or one of my dog beds, watch over the activity in the courtyard, and watch doggy youtube with my cat when we’re not out and about.
