Pet care experience

“My new best friend!” -Your Pet

Hi there! I’m an experienced and responsible pet sitter who truly loves caring for animals. Over the years, I've had the joy of looking after a variety of pets—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, lizards, and more. Growing up on a farm and house-sitting for friends has given me hands-on experience in caring for different animals and managing their unique needs. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, or anything in between, I’m here to provide the best care for your furry (or scaly!) friends. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well-cared-for while you’re away. I’d love to meet your pets and help make their time apart from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!

House Sitting • Jun 15, 2025

Samantha was great with my dog while I was away for the day! Elsa warmed up to her quickly and it was easy to enjoy the day knowing she was in good hands.

Repeat stay for my pup, Louie! Samantha is a breeze to coordinate with and always takes good care of Louie. I loved her flexibility with pick-up/drop-off and her sweet daily updates. I recommend Samantha for all your pet-sitting needs!

Samantha was wonderful! Coordinating pick up and drop off was easy and she was very accommodating. She also sent great daily updates of Louie’s stay! Will definitely rebook in the future :)

Samantha was so sweet and caring with our kitties. She's a great communicator and responded to our request quickly. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again.

Schedule

As a teacher, I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, but I’m available for pet sitting and walking during evenings, weekends, holidays, and summer breaks. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, overnight care, or extended stays, I can provide reliable care during my time off. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever I’m not in school.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. My apartment is quiet and secure, with no kids or other pets to disrupt your pet’s routine. I also have plenty of space to comfortably crate your pet if needed. Located near Griffith Park, I have easy access to beautiful, safe walking paths for regular strolls. Rest assured, I’ll provide a calm and secure environment for your pet while they’re in my care.

A typical day

I love spending time with pets! I believe metal and physical stimulation are important for a happy and healthy pet, so I come with knowledge on games and activities to keep them engaged and entertained!

I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve grown up in rural settings and had pets my whole life. Spending time with pets truly bring me so much joy. To make sure your pet also gets the most out of our time together, please let me know if your pet has any special needs or preference on how to be handled!
