Experienced Vet Nurse

My name is Samantha, you may call me Sam. I graduated from the veterinary technician program at Carrington College in 2016. I have 5+ years experience in emergency vet care and boarding. My family owns two wonderful cats and a very, hyper but sweet dog (not currently living in my home) I know where all of the emergency vet places in the area are located and have plenty experience in administering medications to both dogs and cats if needed. I am able to modify any special needs for your pet. I plan to use my knowledge in veterinary medicine to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your fur babies. I tend to treat each animal as my own, as they're all deserving of the best care! I am currently working at a veterinary hospital - my shifts are 8 hours. Please let me know if you feel comfortable with me leaving your pets for that long. I will still have plenty of time before and after work to feed, walk, and play with your babies. If you’d like to book me for house sitting, please contact me several weeks in advance!! Drop in visits are always welcome If you are one of my old Stockton clients, please feel free to still request to book with me. I AM willing to travel I have a fenced yard with plenty of safe space for your pet if staying at my place for doggy daycare or overnight care. I offer baths, nail trims and hair brushing (light grooming/trimming hair - not a professional groomer) As for house sitting in my clients’ homes, I typically like to visit with my clients (old and new) before the booking to get informed or updated on how you care for your fur babies. I like to know where food, water, any medications or toys are located before I settle into your home during my stay

Samantha was the absolute best! She did it come over in the traditional pet sitting way - instead she came over ever morning to administer meds to my little Birch. I don’t know how I would have made it through the ten days of meds without her assistance.

Samantha did a great job caring for our 3 cats and our home for a week while we were away. We returned to happy kitties, and a clean home. She was on time and made sure to confirm our booking prior. Will definitely book again. Thanks Sam!

We were a little nervous because we had never left the dogs before with anyone but family. Samantha was awesome! She kept us informed, sent pictures, and she was very polite and professional. The house looked just like we left it, and my doggies were missing their new friend when she left.

Samantha had an immediate response time contacting us back, and lucky for us was available on short notice when our house sitter was called away for a family emergency, while we were already out of town….. thank you Sam for saving our vacation. Between her 5 star service and emergency vet tech experience, we knew our two senior dogs were in great hands. She sent photos daily, and left our home clean and tidy. We would definitely choose Samantha again.
