Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any medical conditions, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions or behavioral traits your pet may have. I also like to understand their temperament and comfort level in different situations, including how they are with new people, other animals and unfamiliar environments.

A typical day

For dogs, we'll go on plenty of walks exploring the neighborhood, enjoy fresh air and exercise and visit the local dog park (with owners permissions of course). We'll also spend time playing with toys and making sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. For cats, I'll spend time playing with their favorite toys and giving them plenty of attention. I'll also keep litter boxes clean, refresh food and water, and stick to their normal routine as closely as possible.

Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager and offer drop-in visits, cat sitting and overnight care in the Jersey City/Hoboken/NYC area. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule during the weekdays and am also available on weekends. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a meet and greet!

Samantha was very responsive and updated me throughout the day! I’m sure pretzel had the best time :)

I highly recommend Samantha as a pet caregiver. As her friend, I’ve seen firsthand how responsible, trustworthy, and caring she is with animals. She genuinely loves all pets, especially cats, and always enjoys spending time with them. Samantha is attentive to each pet’s individual needs and makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. She is dependable, patient, and treats every pet as if they were her own. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Samantha looking after their fur babies!

I’ve known Samantha for years, and she’s one of the few people I’d completely trust with my pets. I have six animals, including dogs and cats, and I know they’d be in great hands with her. She’s incredibly compassionate and sweet with animals and truly loves my pets as if they were her own. She’s reliable, a true cat lady at heart, and I highly recommend her! 🐾💕
