Pet care experience

Dogs and Birds and Lizards...OH MY!

I am a well versed "animal person", willing to sit some of the more exotic creatures likes snakes, birds and reptiles. If you are looking for someone who will offer the same care as one would to a more classic variety, I'm your girl! I do of course, still offer the same level of care for dogs and cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, etc.

Samantha did a great job with Shepard. She played ball with him all the time and kept him engaged. She also left a beautiful picture of him, that she had drawn, on the counter.

Samantha was an AMAZING dog sitter for our sweet boy Wallace. We came home to a sweet and calm boy, and we could just tell how loved and attended to he had been during our time away. We appreciated her communication and she sent a few pics of our sweet boy, to let us know how he was doing. BONUS - she did an amazing sketch/doodle of him that I DO plan on framing bc it’s so incredible. Would recommend her to anyone!

I did not complete booking, as I was unable to reach her the day of drop off. I sent her a message as she requested that I was on my way, I sent her several messages while I was there and also called, no answer. After I left the location and arrived home she messaged me and said she had stepped in the back of her house but she did not have her phone with her. Very disappointed in the lack of communication and not honoring booking.

Samantha took care of our babies while we were out of town for few days. Even though it was the first time everything went smoothly.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is entirely fenced and secure-If you're dog is a jumper, it is no concern. I am able to provide a separate space for your animals if you have concerns about their interacting with my cats.

Pets

A typical day

Whether your friend is here in my home, or I am in yours; I will always spend time getting to know your furry family. This means, if they seem playful, I'll engage-but if they're more shy, I will always respect their boundaries. Cats can expect laser pointers and cuddles if desired, and dogs can expect walks and withing time and trust; little day trips for hiking!

I love to spoil any variety of your animal friends. Please lets me know if there are very specific restrictions in diet. While I am very well versed with the dietary needs of varying species, it can be difficult to say no to a big pair of wet, soppy, begging eyes! Of course if it's extra hot out, I am well prepared to take care of your pets in this instance, as well.
