Availability

I work part time in an optometry office and part time at a spa, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available early mornings, during my lunch break on most weekdays, evenings after work, and all day Friday and Sunday. During overnight stays, I provide care before work, stop by during my lunch break when needed, return after work for dinner, walks, and quality time, then stay overnight with your pet. I always strive to maintain their normal routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before the booking. I always keep dogs leashed when out, unless you’ve specifically approved otherwise, and they’re in a secure area. I make sure gates and doors are secured, fresh water is always available, and I closely monitor pets during walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks. I treat every client’s home with respect, keep it clean, and make sure it’s in the same condition.

The more I know, the better I can care for your pet! Please let me know about: • Daily routines • Feeding schedule • Potty schedule • Medications or medical conditions • Favorite toys and activities • Any fears, anxieties, or behavioral quirks • Commands they know • Anything that helps them feel comfortable My goal is to make your absence feel as normal and stress-free as possible.

Every pet is different, so I adapt my care to their personality and energy level. That may include: •Walks and potty breaks •Playtime and enrichment •Sniff walks •Fetch, tug, puzzles, or treat games •Plenty of affection and companionship •Reinforcing your established routines and training •Sending regular photo and video updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for Whether your pet wants an adventure outside or simply someone to curl up next to on the couch, I’m happy to provide the care they need.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Samantha, an experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I know every pet has their own routine, and I believe the best care comes from keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, providing enrichment, or simply spending quality time cuddling on the couch, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

Samantha took great care of our kitties and was extremely professional, caring, and responsive. This was our first booking with Samantha and we would recommend her to anyone in need of a drop-in visit. Thank you again Samantha!
