Loving College Student Pet Watcher

Pet care experience

I started taking care of animals when I was eight. Since then, I have cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, a tarantula, fish, chickens, cows, and of course cats and dogs of various ages. Typically, I will set up a phone call or meet and greet before officially booking. This helps to make sure owners and I are have the same expectations and to meet your adorable pets.

Samantha was great! She had her hands full but when we arrived home, everyone was happy. We had not left our dogs in over 5 years and with Samantha house/dog sitting for them, we would not hesitate to do it again. She is fantastic!

Samantha is friendly, punctual, and our usually disinterested senior dog went right to her during our meet & greet! We did a trial drop-in visit to ensure there were no issues while we're out of state. She arrived on time, let our dog out and played with him a while. Everything went smoothly! Definitely recommend and plan to utilize Samantha's services in the future.

Samantha was wonderful! Our dog was well cared for while we were on vacation and the communication from Sam was great.

I highly recommend Samantha. She was very diligent in caring for a somewhat complicated schedule for several types of animals. When we returned the animals were happy and well cared for. She also house sat for us. She is very respectful of our property and the house was left in immaculate condition! We could not have been more pleased and it is such a relief to have someone we can trust with our animals and our home. Hire Samantha! You will not be disappointed.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment with a roommate's cat that scares easily with other animals. Therefore, I will only sit in owner homes. I look forward to having a proper place to make a loving dog a home at. When I watch pets in other homes, I like to follow whatever regimen the owner has in place. I have found animals adapt to a new person in their territory when they stick to a routine and are in a familiar place.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

Here are some things I like to know prior to booking: - Are they super active? - Are they good with people? - Do they like other animals? - What scares or agitates them? - Any special needs or concerns? - What is their usual diet/feeding times? - Do they need medication? - What is their favorite spot to be pet at?

A typical day

With dogs, I love playing fetch, tug of war, walking/running, petting, and teaching them tricks. Depending on owner's preferences, dog parks can be an option. I like to walk around the neighborhood, whether that be along the people trail or sidewalks. I love when pets are super cuddly too! I just can't say no to petting them.
