Information Samantha J. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about any routines, special needs, or quirks your pet may have. Things like feeding schedules, favorite activities, health concerns, or if they’re shy around new people help me make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

A typical day

I make sure to adjust to each pet’s needs—whether that means walks, playtime, or just lots of cuddles. Every dog and cat is different, so I match their energy and give them the care they’re most comfortable with.

My babies are happy and clam with Samantha. She sent a lot of pictures and videos of my babies and I’m sure my babies loved her! One of my dog had allergies on his paw, Samantha moped the floor and dried his paw after walks🥹 I appreciate her, and I’m sure your babies would be taken a great care by Samantha!
