Young Professional & your pet’s BFF

Types of Pets Cared For: From playful pups to seasoned seniors, I've had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of pets, including two rescue cats, a Yorkie, a pug, a Scottie dog, and even a spirited senior dachshund. Specialized Care: I have hands-on experience managing the unique needs of pets with arthritis, customizing medication schedules, and ensuring their comfort and well-being every step of the way. Building Trust: One of my greatest joys is winning over the hearts of shy or fearful pets. Take, for instance, a timid pitbull I cared for. Through patience, understanding, and plenty of quality time, I earned his trust, so much so that his owners affectionately dubbed me his "girlfriend." Witnessing his transformation from hesitant to happy-go-lucky on our walks was truly heartwarming. Professional and Personal Touch: Whether it's through professional services or referrals from satisfied clients, I approach every pet care opportunity with the same level of dedication and enthusiasm. Your pets aren't just clients to me; they're cherished members of the family. Safety First: Rest assured, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your beloved pets above all else. With attentiveness, personalized care, and a commitment to building trust, I strive to provide a nurturing environment where your pets can thrive. Let's ensure your pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. Reach out today, and let's create a tail-wagging experience they'll never forget!

Samantha was great! She sends us updates daily and pictures to make sure the dogs are doing well. She takes them on daily walks and interacted with them through the time we were gone! She cleaned up after her self per usual. She always does such a good job with our pups!

I was nervous about having a stranger come and watch my pets but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Samantha kept me up to date on how they were doing and sent pictures. It provided a much needed sense of relief and would definitely book her again.

Winnie loved Samantha, we are so glad she was able to stay with Winnie for a few days. Samantha filled in for us at the last minute and was extremely responsive and polite. We would highly recommend Samantha and would ask her to watch Winnie again.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is designed to accommodate the needs of the pets under my care. I typically work most days from 7:00-3:30 PM, though my work hours do vary occasionally with either one early morning (4 AM-1PM) or one late Sunday (11-7:30 PM shift). I prioritize walks, ensuring your dog(s) get the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I've structured my routine to provide them with the love and attention they deserve.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

When providing care in a client's home, I aim to maintain a consistent routine to minimize disruption and stress for the pets. This includes adhering to their regular feeding and walking schedules, ensuring they receive ample attention and companionship, and maintaining clear communication with the pet owners regarding any specific instructions or preferences. I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care, treating them with the same love and attention as I would my own. By offering personalized care tailored to their individual needs, I strive to provide a positive and enriching experience for every furry friend.

Pets

A typical day

In the mornings, I make sure to give the pets I watch plenty of cuddles (if that’s what they like). I will feed them and get ready as they eat. Then we’ll go for a morning walk. I love to stimulate the dogs physically and mentally by playing in the yard with their favorite toys when I first come home. After spending some quality time together, I might take them on another walk to exploit the smells in the neighborhood.
