Pet care experience

Snuggles, Walks, & Tail Wags

I’ve cared for pets of all ages and energy levels—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a slower pace and a little extra love. I’m all about long walks, playtime, belly rubs, and quiet company when they just want someone near. I’m attentive, patient, and truly love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walking buddy, cuddle time, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

I can’t say enough great things about Samantha! She has been wonderful with my 11-year-old dog, who isn’t always the easiest due to his age and quirks. Samantha is patient, caring, and truly treats him like her own. She always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me such peace of mind when I’m away. My pup absolutely adores her and I can tell he feels safe and comfortable in her care. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in such good hands. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable pet sitter!

Schedule

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! When I’m home, I’m fully available—usually for 3 days at a time—and that means 24/7 attention, cuddles, walks, and care. I don’t just drop in—I settle in. Your pet will have my full presence and affection the entire time I’m with them. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just lounging around, I’ve got the time and the heart to make sure they feel safe and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime habits—because I know consistency matters. In your home, I treat the space with respect and keep everything clean and calm. In my home, pets get a cozy, quiet environment with lots of attention and affection. I’m all about creating a stress-free experience so your pet feels like they’re right where they belong.

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I tailor activities to their energy level and personality. For active pups, we’ll go on long walks, play fetch, and explore new scents on safe routes. For more chill dogs or seniors, we’ll enjoy slow strolls, cuddle time, and mental stimulation like treat puzzles or gentle play. No matter what, your dog will get plenty of love, attention, and engagement to keep their tail wagging and their heart happy.

Before caring for any pet, I like to know their routine, personality, and any special needs. That includes things like feeding schedule, favorite activities, medical issues, medications, triggers (like loud noises or other dogs), and how they do on walks. I also ask about crate training, potty habits, and if there’s anything they don’t like—so I can make them as comfortable and happy as possible. The more I know, the better I can love and care for them like you would!
