Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide reliable, attentive care and make sure each pet gets the exercise, enrichment, and companionship they need while you’re away. I have flexible availability and love spending extra time giving pets attention, playtime, and companionship. I follow your pet’s normal routine, including daily walks, feeding schedules, and any specific care instructions. I am CPR & First Aid certified for both cats and dogs.

Information Samantha M. would like to know about your pet

I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. Please share any specific instructions, quirks, or medical needs ahead of time so I can provide the most consistent care possible. This includes feeding schedules, medication instructions, behavior notes, and anything that helps your pet feel at home. I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible, including walks, playtime, litter box care, and enrichment based on their individual needs and energy level. Clear communication is important to me, and I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical visit depends on your pet’s routine, but I always focus on keeping things consistent, calm, and fun. I start by checking in, making sure your pet is comfortable, and following any feeding or medication instructions exactly as provided. From there, I spend time with exercise and enrichment—this may include walks, playtime, litter box care, or mental stimulation activities depending on your pet’s needs. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, and affection (if they want it!), while respecting their personality and space. Before I leave, I ensure fresh water is available, your pet is settled, and everything is clean and secure. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I provide professional, high-quality pet care built on extensive hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring gentle, attentive care. I use positive reinforcement, structure, and calm, confident handling to support behavior, build trust, and keep pets feeling secure and understood. I have worked with a wide range of breeds and sizes, including high-energy dogs such as Huskies, Shepherds, and Labradors, as well as large and giant breeds like Newfoundlands, Malamutes, and Great Pyrenees. I’m comfortable adapting my care style to meet each dog’s individual personality and needs. In addition to dogs, I have extensive experience with cats through both ownership and fostering, and I’m confident caring for a variety of feline personalities—from social and playful to shy or independent. I am CPR and First Aid certified for both cats and dogs, trained in administering oral and injectable medications, and fully insured. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication, ensuring every pet receives attentive, reliable care and every client has peace of mind while they’re away.

Samantha was amazing with my cats.. I have 2 cats, one is super loving and the other is very stand off-ish with everybody he meets… until now. Samantha formed a bond that nobody else has ever been able to form with him.. and I’m super appreciative that she took the time to get to know his personality and grow from there. Samantha did absolutely everything I asked her to do and even offered to do things that I hadn’t thought of. I would highly recommend her to care for your pups and / or feline babies! I will rebook with her in the near future!!!
