Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat-loving biologist
I love cats and cats love me! It's true- I've shocked multiple friends by getting their skittish kitties to love me with little more than slow blinks and sweet talk. Got a velcro cat who needs tons of love and attention? I love giving pets and my lap's always open. Got a scaredy cat who needs their boundaries respected? I'll happily feed & water them but leave them be. Got something in the middle? Great, I love kitties of all ages and temperaments! I was trained as a wildlife biologist and veterinary assistant, so I'm comfortable drawing and administering pills, liquids, topical medications, and injections. I prefer to use minimal restraints when medicating cats, but I can make a good purrito if that keeps everyone safe and clam.

Safety, trust & environment
I do my best to let your pet lead our interactions- especially with cats. I pay attention to body language and don't force an interaction unnecessarily. As a house sitter, I'll do my best to keep your pets' regular schedule, and leave your home just as I found it. For drop-in visits, I'll make sure your cat is fed and watered, their litterbox clean, and if they let me I'll play with and pet them.
Ratings and reviews
Samantha did a great job at treating Scarlett for hyperthyroidism while we were gone. Getting the gel into Scarlett's ear with accompanying treats seems to have done the trick! Great job Samantha. J & J
Samantha is great. She clearly loves animals. She is responsive to communications and follows instructions. She send a nice note during each visit. . I definitely will use her in the future.
Samantha was absolutely wonderful with the kitties and incredibly mindful of their individual personalities/needs!!
Loved having Samantha watch our cat (and fish!). She is super communicative, helpful, and sent lots of pictures of our cat while we were away. Our cat seemed to enjoy her company lots!
Samantha took great care of the girls. And we are impressed that even our “introvert” came out for pets. Thank you for the peace of mind in knowing that the girls were so well cared for and got to watch the birdies outside.
Samantha managed to win over my very shy cats and took great care of them while I was away.

Schedule
I work part time, mostly from home, so I have flexible hours to care for your cat. I can also bring my laptop and do work while keeping your kitty company, if needed.
