Devoted College Pet Sitter 🐾

Pet care experience

I have helped to take care of my Shih-Tzu family of five for the last 10 years! I have grown alongside my dogs and love them just as I love any of my other family members. Due to my family’s busy schedule growing up, many daily routine duties would fall to my brother and I, such as taking our dogs on walks, feeding them, and keeping up with their hygiene. Through this experience, I have not only learned how to properly and respectfully take care of pets, but I have also learned how to be responsible, attentive to detail, and considerate of those around me.

Samantha was a great dog sitter for Lulu! She sent multiple updates per day and Lulu had a great time! Highly recommend her.

Samantha was great with my Shih Tzu and seemed very comfortable with him right off the bat. She was very communicative and flexible. I would definitely reach out to her in the future!

Samantha was such an angel, I felt super comfortable and assured in trusting her to take care of my dog, Layla, the minute I met her. She was very communicative throughout her care and accommodated Layla perfectly.

My priority is to keep your pet happy and safe during their stay with me. Please let me know your pet’s food schedule and if they require any special accommodations.

A typical day

There are multiple parks near my apartment where we will sniff around, use the restroom, and even play fetch! My neighborhood is very dog-friendly, so there are plenty of friends to have fun with if they’re an extrovert. If your dog is a bit more socially anxious, don’t worry, we can have fun one-on-one too.
