Care you can count on!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a grad student at UMN who absolutely loves animals. In college, I volunteered weekly at the Humane Society taking care of cats who had special medical needs and taking dogs on walks. Additionally, I worked as a veterinary surgical assistant helping to care for both cats and dogs as they underwent a variety of procedures. So, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities, needs and ages! I love spending time being active outdoors - whether it’s long walks, runs, hikes, or rollerblading! I also have a cozy couch that is perfect for snuggling up with furry friends and reading or watching a movie. I’ll treat your pet with lots care and make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re gone.

Samantha was so kind and knowledgeable. My dog was anxious and she did a great job calming him down and making him feel at home. She was so welcoming and very professional. You can tell how much she loves dogs and is a great option if you need someone to watch your pet. I would highly recommend her.

Samantha watched my cat Augustus when I went out of town. She went above and beyond giving my cat extra attention and treats. She sent me so many photos and was fantastic at communicating updates. You can really rely on her to provide the best possible care to your pets. She is on time and professional. I feel secure leaving my cat in her care knowing I won’t have to worry about my pets safety while I’m gone. I will be booking again!

Samantha did a great job caring for my cat! She made sure he was given lots of love and played with him so he wasn't hyper when I got home.

Samantha did a fantastic job watching my two cats. She was quick to respond and took care of everything while I was gone for the week!
