Highlights
Pet care experience
Available Thanksgiving/Christmas
I'm a 37 year-old Clinical Psychologist with a passions for dogs (and other furry friends). I am available for drop-ins, walks, and house sittings, and love working with both my canine and feline friends. I also love the opportunity to work with exotics and other small animals (I really do love most animals!). In regards to house sittings, I can stay in your home overnight, dependent on your preference, and generally limit my service area to within 10 miles from my home in Seatac (as I have furbabies of my own to care for). I currently work full time, mainly from home, however go into a physical location around once a week. On those days, I can be out for 10-12 hours, so this is something to take into account for weekday house sittings. For cat/other animal drop ins: I am able to provide care for many types of animals. If you are looking for someone to complete a no frills drop in, I can provide this services for a reduced charge ($12 within a 10 mile radius). This involves providing basic care that would take around 10 minutes (e.g. refilling food water bowls, litter box clean-up, daily visual checks), and is perfect for cats that don't require (or want) socialization, birds, reptiles, other small critters, etc. I've been taking care of dogs most of my life (mine and others), worked at a vet's office during high school, have volunteered and fostered through various shelters (Humane Society of Silicon Valley, RASKC Kent, Seattle Area Feline Rescue, etc). and have been dog walking/sitting professionally for about 5 years. I also fostered kittens on and off for the past few years. I have skills in basic dog training and have taken advanced training classes through the animal shelter. I am able to look after (and enjoy) most other types of animals. I currently have a friendly dachshund mix named Sugar and a Tabby cat named Kittana.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you Samantha for taking care of Ryu, you are always reliable and kind with him. Definitely will contact you again :)
Very much appreciated Samantha’s drop-in visits and communication while we were out of town.
Thanks Samantha for taking care of Ryu in such a short notice and with the weird weather of Seattle
Had a flight cancelled and had to book an extra day for our two cats. Samantha helped no problem and even offered to buy more cat food if we needed. Have used her twice already and will again!
Samantha’s the best. She keeps us posted and sends pictures and is a pleasure to coordinate with. She’s prompt, responsive, and provides great care to our home and pets.
Samantha has done drop in visits for our two cats a couple of times now. She has been dependable and easy to communicate with. Overall, it was a great experience for us.

Schedule
I currently work full-time, mainly from home, with one full-day at a physical location. As such, my schedule is quite flexible, which leaves plenty of time to spend with your fur baby.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always ensure the utmost safety and respect for your fur babies and homes and make sure I am following all instructions to an T! Safety is very important to me, especially when out on walks. I am always careful that walking equipment is securely properly and keep an eye on my surroundings.
Pets
A typical day
Walks or playtime in the yard. I can also take your pups to nearby dog parks for socialization if desired. Also, I am a runner (beginner for the most part), but can definitely do some running with your dog if you would like them to be extra tired out! Please just let me know this is something you would like at the time of booking, so I can plan accordingly.
