Pet care experience
My promise: I'll care for them like they're my own. I’ll ensure your pets receives the level of care I’d hope a sitter would give my own. *Please note- due to Rover’s policy to take a 20% fee from every booking, my pricing had been updated to reflect these fees.
Reviews
Samantha is a great professional pet sitter who we can trust 100%.
We always ask Samantha to take care of our kitty when we are away cos she’s a responsible person and we can trust her.
Wonderful working with Samantha. Took on our car last minute and stayed longer than expected. Followed our requests and was very respectful the whole time. Would definitely ask for her again!
Samantha was awesome on such short notice. Reply to my request was quick and all subsequent communication/updates for the drop-in visits with my lil guy was great! I couldn’t say thank you enough!

Safety, trust & environment
After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with degrees in psychology and zoology (2011), I started my own budding pet sitting business with a clientele of approximately a dozen individuals. I offered petsitting in my home, as well as the clients'. I also offered dog walking services. I stepped away from my business in 2012 to pursue a career in zookeeping as a primate zookeeper at Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, FL. I left this position to pursue volunteer work in the jungles of Ecuador where I worked as an animal caretaker and volunteer coordinator at Merazonia, a rescue rehabilitation center for Ecuadorian wildlife. I currently work at Sea Life Park caring for the seabirds as a wildlife keeper.

Information Samantha I. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. This includes both health and behavioral needs. If you are booking a day at my home, your dog must be good with cats, as we have two resident senior kitties.
A typical day
I'm located less than a 5 minute walk from Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach Park. This means plenty of opportunities for beach day fun as well as walks in the park. My home is in a quiet tucked away corner, so, if your dog prefers to relax and indulge in extra pets, I've got them covered.
