Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

I always ask for information about any allergies, medications, or special needs your pet may have. I also like to know their likes, dislikes, and routines so I can provide care that is tailored and comfortable for them. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and well-cared-for while in my care.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy with games like fetch and tug-of-war. For water-loving dogs, I have a doggie pool to cool off and play in safely. We’re conveniently located near the Cumberland Trails, so I can take your dog on long, safe walks on paved paths. While my husband and children will be at home, I will be solely focused on caring for your pets to ensure they receive undivided attention and care.

Expierenced Veterinary Assistant

Pet care experience

I have worked in the Veterinary field for 13+ years, providing professional, medically knowledgeable pet care. I’m comfortable with administering medications (oral, injectable), senior pets, post-surgical care, and pets with special needs. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, and small mammals. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are my top priority—and I treat every pet like my own. Ideal for pet parents who want peace of mind knowing their pet is in experienced hands.

Samantha was wonderful to my dog, Jesse. I had to travel back to South Carolina for a couple of weeks, and I was really worried about leaving him. From the moment I met Samantha, she put my mind at ease. She took excellent care of Jesse, kept me updated, and treated him like one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. 🐾

Samantha was absolutely fantastic! She took wonderful care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We also had to make a few changes to our reservation, and she was incredibly accommodating, flexible, and easy to work with. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and professional pet sitter.

Samantha was fantastic! She was very responsive and was also willing to do a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. She sent us updates while we were gone and we came home to happy, healthy dogs!

Samantha was amazing with my 3 fur babies! She knew how nervous I was about leaving my dogs for the holiday season and she made it a point to reach out, send us updates and even made us a little Christmas gift from our pups. I highly recommend using her services. I promise you won't be disappointed. Not only is she trained to work with animals in her full time career but she genuinely enjoys caring for them outside of her 9 to 5.
