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 took really nice care of my kitty. I would recommend her to others too.
Sent good updates and photos! Did a quick phone chat before the stay which was really helpful!
Thanks for taking great care of our Enzo!
Sam was so great with our two babies (who have totally different personalities)!! She’s reliable and has great communication, thank you so much!
Samantha provided updates and pictures during her drop-in visits, putting my pet-mom brain at ease. She has a way with cats and managed to bond with one of my cats that’s never really taken much of a liking to any human beside me.
This is the second time I have had Samantha come cat sit my furkids. I don’t have to worry about them while I am away as I know they are in good hands. Samantha stays in touch with notes and pics daily which helps to ease my worried cat mom mind. I have Samantha all set up to watch them one more time this year.

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.

- Please let me know your pet's schedule (especially mealtimes and playtime), activity level, social needs, and any medications I'll need to give them. Favorite toys, treats, and favorite places to be skritched are always helpful :)
