Pet care experience

Your pet's home, away from home.

Choosing a sitter is about more than just a check-in; it’s about finding a calm, capable environment where your pet feels truly understood. My background in healthcare naturally informs how I care for animals—I tend to be an observant caregiver, keeping a watchful eye on comfort levels and the small details that matter for a pet’s well-being. As a working-from-home mom, my days are rooted in a reliable routine. This allows me to provide the consistent, low-stress supervision that is so helpful for all animals who need a little extra help and those who require a patient, intuitive touch to feel at home. I have experience caring for a wide range of needs and species—from the high energy of puppies to the quiet companionship of seniors, the unique needs of rescues, and even farm friends like chickens. Whether it's keeping a medication schedule on track, assisting with mobility challenges, or simply providing a quiet space for a nervous soul to decompress, I focus on creating a safe, gentle environment where every animal in my care can truly relax.

First time leaving our pug Archie with anyone and Samantha was the best choice we could have made ! Updates and pictures to reassure us and he loved his stay with the kids. Highly recommend!

Samantha and Michael were wonderful to our dog, Pete. They were super communicative and kind. They shared lots of pictures and I knew Pete was in the best hands. They took extra care to search him for ticks after they found one on him, which was really a next level thing for them to do. They clearly care about the dogs in their care and we highly recommend them.
