I am currently a remote worker/student, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby throughout the day/stay. Though I wish walks and drop-ins were possible at the moment, house sitting is what fits best into my current schedule! Please feel free to reach out to me regarding dates/timeframes you’re interested in so we can figure out something that works for both of us! (:

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, my pets are free to roam around the living room and fenced in backyard as they please. They love to sleep on the couch, and I let them be until they want to play or go for a walk! Bedroom and bathroom doors are closed /gated throughout the day to avoid any accidents and ensure they’re safely watched at all times. And of course, there are always lots of cuddles for everyone! Your pet will be loved and well taken care of during my care, and will abide by the routine(s) you have established. My goal is to ensure your fur baby is as comfortable as possible! When it comes to house sitting, I like to follow the rules you have set to a T. I love to maintain a clean space, stay within any set boundaries, and do my best to maintain your pet’s safe space and peace. It’ll be just another normal day while they excitedly await your return 🤗

Pet care experience

I absolutely love taking care of dogs! I have been a pet owner for 9 years, both male and female, and have certainly learned a lot throughout the years. A tool I absolutely love is clicker training, as well as positive reinforcement and lots of praise. I started taking care of cats a few years ago and have absolutely fell in love with them. Your pets are sure to be in good hands!

Samantha was wonderful. Both fur babies were in excellent spirits and health when I returned. She communicated with me at appropriate times and I never felt any stress. The house was in wonderful condition when I returned. Samantha even washed and changed the sheets. I will be happy to ask her back!

Samantha was absolutely incredible, we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment she started caring for Hudson and Jaxson, it was clear how attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring she is. She made sure both dogs were well taken care of with regular potty breaks, meals, and water, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. What really stood out was how thoughtful and communicative she was, keeping us updated and treating our dogs like they were her own. Hudson and Jaxson both seemed happy, comfortable, and relaxed when we got back, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Samantha exceeded every expectation. We would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals.

Sammantha is the kindest most compassionate sitter we’ve had the pleasure of having. She cared for our sweet Benji like he was her own and it gave such peace of mind knowing our baby is being taken care of like we would.
