Pet care experience

Attentive, caring animal lover

I have shared my life with animals since day one and have spent over 10 years working professionally in the animal care and veterinary field. Whether your pet is a tiny kitten, a senior dog, or any species in between, I have the hands-on experience to provide the structured, high-quality care they deserve. With my background in veterinary medicine, I bring a level of observation that goes beyond standard care. I am highly experienced in: • Medical Management: Administering medications and monitoring specialized health needs. • Emergency Awareness: I am trained to recognize early signs of distress, including seizures, heat stroke, and bloat, ensuring your pet’s safety is always the priority. • Custom Protocols: I am a systems thinker—I follow your feeding, exercise, and medical instructions to the letter to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I know that leaving your pet can be stressful, which is why I treat every client like my own full house of three pups and two cats. My goal is to provide a calm, boarding-free alternative where your pets can thrive in their own environment. While I work full-time in the veterinary field, I dedicate my mornings, evenings, and weekends to my Rover clients. I am happy to coordinate my schedule to ensure your animals are well-cared for and happy while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I love animals! I have five of my own at home, and I treat each animal that I care for just like they’re my own. I am patient, kind, and caring to animals from all different walks of life.

Having a nervous and aloof dog, it's a bit tricky to find a good sitter, but our search is over. Samantha is amazing! As the photos from each visit came in I could see our dog bonding with Samantha. I could tell they were were getting along well and we could relax and enjoy out time away. Everything was perfect upon our arrival home cementing our trust in Samantha. This is what we all want in a great sitter. Someone who can step in and keep the dog healthy and happy. We're already talking about our next mini-vacation with full confidence.
