Pet care experience
Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pup!
I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals. Growing up, I had the joy of caring for Shelties, Golden Retrievers, and Papillons, each teaching me the importance of patience, companionship, and understanding every dog’s unique personality. I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy who is very loved, well-socialized, and has the sweetest, most gentle personality. He is extremely well-behaved and will be starting puppy school in July to continue building his training and manners. My partner is also home and able to help care for him, ensuring every pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, and love. If your pup stays with me, they will be welcomed into a safe, caring, and dog-loving home. I want to be transparent that my puppy may be present during stays, but I always prioritize the comfort and needs of your pet. For walks, your dog will receive one-on-one attention — I will take your pup on their own walk rather than walking multiple dogs together. For drop-ins or visits, my focus will be on giving your pet personalized care, affection, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family here 🐾

Ratings and reviews
I have a beautiful cat named Cali who needs medication twice a day, and Sam has been wonderful with her. Sam is very skilled at giving Cali her medication and always takes the time to socialize and play with her, making sure she feels comfortable and cared for. I completely trust Sam with both my home and my precious fur baby. Knowing Cali is in such capable and compassionate hands gives me real peace of mind. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
I highly recommend Samantha as a pet sitter you can count on. She is caring, trustworthy, and reliable, and I always feel confident leaving my dogs in her care. She treats them like her own, follows instructions carefully, and keeps me updated while I'm away. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for every time. It's clear Samantha genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter/walker.

Schedule
I am a teacher and will be off during the months of July and August, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care whenever needed. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Starting in September, my availability will depend on whether I accept a teaching position (LTO), but I will always have availability in the evenings and on weekends. I am committed to providing reliable and consistent care and will communicate clearly with each pet parent to make sure your pet’s needs are met.

Safety, trust & environment
Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or visiting them in theirs, I focus on making sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, clean, and dog-loving environment where they receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I will always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. My Golden Retriever puppy may be present in my home, but he is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and continuing his training. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines while providing dependable care, companionship, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I know pets feel most comfortable with familiarity, so I aim to keep their normal schedule and environment as consistent as possible. I will always communicate with pet parents, provide updates, and make sure you feel confident knowing your furry family member is safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾

A typical day
A Day of Fun & Care 🐾 Every day looks a little different depending on each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine, but my goal is always to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. A typical day includes plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment. We’ll enjoy walks where your pup can get fresh air, explore, and have time to sniff and enjoy the outdoors. I love incorporating fun activities like play sessions, training games, puzzle toys, and lots of positive reinforcement to keep their minds active. At home, dogs will have a cozy space to relax, cuddle, and recharge. There will be lots of affection, belly rubs, and companionship throughout the day. If your pup enjoys being social, they may also get to spend time with Bentley, my Golden Retriever puppy, who loves making new friends! I always follow your dog’s normal routine — including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special preferences — so they feel right at home while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy dogs, wagging tails, and pet parents who feel completely at ease 🐶✨
