Safety, trust & environment

I have good experience with pet needs such as feeding, crating, nail trimming, bathing, and minor medical attention such as giving medications and diabetes management. I regularly research animal behavior and training methods to help me be a more effective support. I'm flexible about visit times, locations, dog size, and pricing. I have some physical limitations and only use transit. Feel free to send me a message and we can discuss things further. I'm happy to discuss alternatives that would be suitable everyone.

Information Samantha P. would like to know about your pet

I would love to hear about your pet's average everyday routine. Also helpful would be any medications needed, allergies/food restrictions, level of animal reactivity, and any other special considerations. The more information I have, the better I can work with your pet.

A typical day

A typical day would include regular playtime and walks, if desired. I often do clicker training for mental stimulation. Cuddle time is an absolute must too, if you're animal is into it!

Pet care experience

I'm a cat foster with a local animal rescue, and have lived with pets almost all my life. I have experience with clicker and target training with both dogs and cats! My first clicker trainee was my cat, Oscar. With the rescue, I gained experience with diabetes treatment. I'm always happy to learn more about animal care.

Sam took care of our large and somewhat anxious dog and we are so happy we found her! Sam sent great pictures of Juniper and was extremely responsive to all messages. We could tell from the photos that our dog had made a new best friend. We came home to a very happy dog and a well taken care of home. We would hire Sam again and would highly recommend her.

Samantha was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone to take care of your pets. She communicates effectively, my dogs loved her. She took such great care of them. I never worried about them while I was away. She went out of her to get to know their routines. She went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be using her again in the future. I cannot thank Samantha enough for taking such amazing care of my dogs.

It was a pleasure to have Sam house/cat-sit for my little Hazel-nut. Sam was very responsive, thoughtful, friendly, kind, responsible, reliable and did a wonderful job. She sent fun updates and photos of Hazel which was very much appreciated. She was also patient with Hazel when she bapped and knocked over her tablet because she wanted attention and to be fed waaaayyyy too early. Sam was very considerate and washed her bedding and towels, which wasn’t expected but a very thoughtful thing to do. I would definitely recommend Sam and I would also book her again. Thank you Sam! -Hazel & Harmony 😻

Samantha went over and beyond. The care she showed for my Yorkie and the consistent follow-up with photos and text was unexpected and admirable. Knowing my dog was in great hands let me RELAX while I was away. Doggone it…I was IMPRESSED.
