Information Samantha O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your animals needs or quirks ahead of time. It prepares me and them so that their boundaries aren't being crossed and I am able to care for them better :)

A typical day

I enjoy seeing your animal being enriched mentally and physically, so I will make sure their needs are met with curious walks, playing fetch or ball and cuddles!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Samantha! I am excited to offer loving and safe care to your pets while you’re away. I have experience taking care of a a range of animals in my life. From kittens, chickens, fish to senior dogs and bearded dragons. I have many years of experience with my own cats as well as a senior dog. I took care of her till her last days. I have sitted for several dogs and cats. I’ve even gone across the country to sit for someone’s dog! Animals give us so much and it is only right we give them the best love and care. It would be my honor to care for your furry family member. I will make sure they never feel alone and I’ll treat them like my own.

We used Samantha over the holidays. She was prompt, responsive and took great photos! The cats felt comfortable with her and that gave us a huge peace of mind. The cats were well taken care while we were gone.

Samantha has been a gem to our pup! Her care and commitment to his wellbeing are remarkable. It is such a blessing to have her on our dog care team - a blessing to him because he gets her care; a blessing to us because we know that he’s getting lots of love in our absence. Pretty simple decision - want the best for your pet? Get Samantha!

Samantha is the only person we've trusted to care for our beloved dog in our absence. We attended a wedding in California and never worried that Oliver was in any kind of distress. Our dog has his quirks and she not only tolerated them, she accommodated them in the most loving way. She is a true lover of animals and treats her own and other's pets with love and respect. I highly recommend her as a very responsible and loving pet caregiver!
