Pet care experience

West Texas Critter Care

I have always had pets of my own and that responsibility has rolled over into also caring for other people's pets, plants, houses, and even their children. I've always taken great care for other's pets as if they were part of my own family. I have many local references and would love to help you with your furry friend so you can enjoy your adventure in West Texas.

Samantha and her family took such good care of my Holly during NYE/NYD. I would highly recommend if you're out in West Texas and need a dog sitter while doing excursions to Big Bend.

For the second time Samantha took care of our Chloe and she did very well. We are very confident that our Chloe is always in good hands with Samantha.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fully fenced and my neighborhood is safe and dog friendly. We walk all over town and like to play in the pools and sprinkler when it's really hot out. I have a back covered porch that is shaded all day and I live in a very quiet neighborhood.

We go on daily walks, truck rides, and alot of time playing with kids at the house and at parks. Needless to say, we are always staying busy and active.
