Dog, cat and outdoor enthusiast!

Pet care experience

My name is Samantha and I am notorious for saying hello to and/or petting every dog or cat that crosses my path. I grew up with dogs and cats and believe that they are extremely special and uplifting in people’s lives. I love other people’s pets as my own and can’t wait to meet yours! I had 3 cats and 4 dogs over the course of my life. My dog Carl had 3 legs, so I am experienced in caring for dogs with different types of needs. I love playing outside with dogs and especially love walking around the city (with dogs)! I am very active and enjoy outdoor activities. I have experience with both hyper-active dogs and sedentary dogs, both young and old. As for house sitting, I am very attentive to animals’ needs and have housesat for different types of pets on numerous occasions. I enjoy relaxing inside alongside a cat or dog! I follow directions thoroughly, as I understand that each pet requires different attention. I have experience with both shy pets and friendly pets, and enjoy all company equally. I have experience giving medication to both dogs and cats, and know a few tricks in doing so! :) Taking care of and spending time with animals brightens up my day and I would be grateful to take care of your pets with a promise of great company :)

Samantha was great! She was responsive and it was easy to set up a booking. I knew my cat was in good hands and I could rely on Samantha to check in on her over the holiday weekend. She sent a photo during her check-ins and I could tell my cat was comfortable and enjoyed the company. My cat is timid around new people so I was glad to see her being playful with Samantha. Overall a good experience and I will definitely book again!

Samantha took excellent care of our two cats over the long weekend! She was professional and easy to communicate with, kept the place clean, and sent us funny photo updates during each of her visits. I would highly recommend Samantha and will certainly see if she’s available to watch our cats again in the future. Thanks again, Samantha!

Samantha is great with pets! She’s been around them her entire life and is very comfortable and knowledgeable. I’ve had her look after my cavalier King Charles spaniel several times. Plus if you have a more athletic dog than my own Samantha loves to exercise— so she can care for a lazy couch bum like my dog and athletic breeds alike. I also trust her to be respectful alone in my home which is a huge bonus for me.

Samantha is an excellent dog sitter! My dog is very timid and weary of other humans because he was adopted from a shelter, but he loves Samantha and immediately felt comfortable with her. She is kind, responsible, and trustworthy.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

I love all animals equally! If I am walking a dog, I would like to know if the dog is uncomfortable/not friendly with other dogs/ people, as I would then avoid crowded areas on walks and avoid other dog encounters.

A typical day

I will go on walks either during the day or night, depending on the pet’s/owner’s needs. I can go to parks, play fetch, and play frisbee.
