Highlights
Pet care experience
Medically trained, loving care
I’m a Veterinary/Tech Assistant with 15 years of experience, including doggy daycare, special-needs pets, and medical care. I’m very comfortable with pets who require extra support—oral medications, insulin injections, sub-Q fluids, and complex care plans. I’ve personally cared for my own diabetic and kidney/thyroid/heart-failure cats, so medical routines are second nature to me. I treat every pet like my own and always keep them on their regular schedule with lots of love, playtime, enrichment, and safe, structured walks. You’ll get plenty of photo updates so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. I’m comfortable with all ages and breeds of dogs and cats, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace. In case of an emergency, I’m medically trained to stay calm and act quickly and appropriately. I currently work at a 24-hour veterinary hospital on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays (12-hour shifts) and often have flexible or “odd hour” availability. I’d love to meet your pets and give them the comfort, safety, and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
I do my best to keep everything the exact same as their daily life with you, I treat every pet like my own and follow your routine exactly—feeding, meds, comfort, and enrichment. Walks are always done with secure gear and safe routes, and in your home I do a quick safety check, refresh water, tidy up, and make sure everything is locked and calm before I leave. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, happy, and relaxed while giving you total peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Sam was fantastic! She was wonderful with our kitties, they warmed up to her right away. The regular updates with pictures were a very nice touch. We will definitely be asking her to watch them the next time we go away. Thanks again Sam!
Sam was amazing! I've been having her pet sit/house and do daily walks for a few years now. She's just a gentle person and our Moose just loves her! He's a bigger dog and as we get older, his energy levels have been difficult for us to deal with and Sam has definitely helped with her walks and she's even helped train him! Our old lady Seasme also loves her, and she's very picky with who she likes... Sam has helped us with her diabetes and we love knowing that while we're away Seasme and Moose are well taken care of. definitely recommend Sam for any of your pets needs, you won't regret it. Thanks so much Sam, for all you do for our Moose&Seasme x
Sam was great! Our Great Dane Shadow loved their time together and was always so excited to see her! We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely book her again if she didn’t have to move away.
Samantha took good care of our puppy, taking her for a mid-day walk when we were unable. She was on time, communicated well and sent pics of our puppy each day. Would definitely use Samantha’s services again.
Samantha dog sat for me while I was away on business for just over a week. I knew the moment I saw her interect with Casper he was in wonderful hands. Being an older dog with some sight and other health issues I was very concerned about leaving him. However, knowing she is active in the veterinary field filled me with confidence as I had never been away from him for more then a night or two. I needed someone I felt I could trust and who really knew what they were doing to look after my old friend. She sent me a couple of videos of Casper right when I was really missing him, unexpected and so heartwarming. Thank you for helping me be at ease on my trip Samantha!
Sam was amazing! She house sat for us, we have 2 cats and a dog and they all love her! Our dog Sierra, is full of energy and loves people and Sam did an amazing job of keeping her happy while we were away, she also sent us lots of photo updates(which we loved) that we didn't even ask for! How awesome is that? I also love her medical background because I constantly worry what if something happened, while we were away? But knowing she deals with emergency situations all the time, really put my mind at ease. I'd HIGHLY recommend her to watch, walk or drop in for your furbabies. I know I'll be using her again! Thank you Sam :) Sierra, Lucky & Daize-Mae also thank you.
