I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than caring for animals. From cats and dogs, to goats and chickens… I’m happy to keep them comfortable while you’re away.

Time With A Dog Is Never Wasted

Pet care experience

I’ve always believed dogs are the purest source of unconditional love. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. From Lilly the St. Bernard, to Quinn the Shih-Tzu… from Sandy the dainty Doberman, to Pablo the toothless Chihuahua.

Samantha was amazing. She’s a warm, kind, caring person, and my dogs instantly loved her. I felt relaxed knowing that my dogs and cat were being not only well cared for, but loved while I was away. She went above and beyond

Samantha was fantastic! She was highly communicative with a consistent daily cadence of updates and lots of photos, which made it easy to relax while we were away. She proactively checked in, confirmed arrival/departure times, and there were no surprises at all. We have an anxious dog, and Samantha’s calm approach clearly worked—our pup settled with her really well. She also followed our instructions closely without needing any hand-holding, arrived on time, and left everything clean. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her—especially if you have a dog that needs a steady, confident sitter.

Sam watched our dog while we were gone and did an incredible job. Great with communication and we had peace of mind that our puppy was in good hands. When we got home everything was perfect. Thank you, Sam!
