Information Samantha J. would like to know about your pet

No detail is too much. Your cat prefers 25 kernels of food and not 26? Noted. Your dog HAS to drink out of the clean toilet everyday? You got it (I’m not one to judge). Your cat has an obstacle course in your apartment it’s trying to beat its best record at? I’ll bring my stopwatch. Your dog can’t hear the medicine container open or it’ll know it’s medicine time? I’ve actually won the award for quietest bottle opener (not really, but hopefully you get my point)!

A typical day

Fun for every pet can be different. Fun for my dog is walks, playing ball, and homemade lick mats. For your dog, it could mean running in circles while it chases it tail and I watch. Your cats may like toys, they may just like to chase me around the house. Let me know what your pet loves to do and I’m positive I’ll make sure their time with me is so fun they’ll forget you’re gone!

Pet care experience

Having owned pets all my life, I completely understand the feeling of nervousness when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, but I am here to ensure you that they will be treated as if they’re my own. I enjoy long walks, the more sniffs of nature, the better! Making sure your dog gets fresh air and is active on your busiest days is what I’m here for. I want to make sure you’re never worried when your pets are in my care, there will always be an overload of updates and pictures for you to enjoy! My love for pets and taking care of them doesn’t stop at dogs. I love a good lounge session with cats or maybe they want to meow away about their day, I’m here to listen! Whatever it may be, I’m here to help ☺️

Samantha was a wonderful sitter for my two girl cats. They’re very particular princesses, but they warmed up to her quickly. Samantha set up advance time with me ahead of my trip to meet the cats and walk through their needs, and also was flexible with pilling one of my cats daily. Her updates were a highlight of my trip and will absolutely book her for any future trips!
