Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Care With Heart
I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities for over 10 years. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering basic medications, senior pet care, and managing anxious or shy pets. I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, gentle seniors, and multi-pet households. I pay close attention to routines, behavior cues, and safety, and I always make sure pets feel loved, secure, and engaged while their parents are away.

Ratings and reviews
Very responsive and flexible. She took great care of my cat and kept me updated about how she was doing.
Samantha literally could not have been any better! She watched my pup for about a week and a half, and took such incredible care of him. He was coming down from a stomach bug when I dropped him, and she was so diligent with his medicine and providing me updates. She also got hit with a LOT of weather (like wildfire smoke, tornado watches, it was a time) and I never had to worry about him because she always knew just what to do and made sure he was safe indoors when necessary and got as many walks and breaks as were possible/safe. So many photos of the two of them cuddling. She clearly fell in love with him over the week, and I don’t think she wanted to give him back 🤣 will be using her for literally every trip possible!
Samantha was the best caretaker for my dog, Finnley! With heart and attention to his daily needs, she played with him, loved him and took him on lots of walks. Finnley has anxiety issues and physical limitations. I feel so fortunate to have found Samantha and it was evident from the photos she sent to update me, that Finnley felt very comfortable.
Samantha was great with my dog. She constantly checked in, sent pictures, took him on plenty of walks and dog park time. My dog didn’t want to leave her place! We’ll come back to her for sure!
Samantha was absolutely amazing with my cat, Clawdia! She was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and communicative throughout the entire stay. She sent so many pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Clawdia and took the time to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring, and I would absolutely book with her again!
Samantha is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of Gizmo. From daily walks to playtime and cuddles, she made sure he was happy and comfy the entire time. Communication was excellent; she sent updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind and I came back to a very relaxed and happy dog. Can’t recommend Samantha enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Living in New York, I’m used to staying active and getting pets the exercise and enrichment they need. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I enjoy building long-term relationships with both pets and their owners.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents and keep routines consistent. In clients’ homes, I respect the space and ensure doors, leashes, and feeding areas are always secure. I monitor pets closely during walks and play, avoid unsafe situations, and provide regular updates with photos and notes. I aim to create a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for at all times.
