Information Samantha J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they are reactive, if they take medications, any boundaries I should keep in mind example: if they don’t like their paws or belly’s touched. Just anything I should know about your pet so I can make sure they have a comfortable and safe stay!

A typical day

I will be able to take them on walks, give them cuddles, play with them as much needed, they will have my full attention al day long!

Samantha is great with animals. She is very caring and kind. Animals naturally seem to gravitate towards her. Samantha would make a great pet sitter.
