Availability
I am a full-time teacher leaving my availability more limited during the school year but I am extremely open during the summer (unless I’m already booked). I do need a bit of notice but am willing to work out a plan at the last minute if possible!

About Samantha P.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
House sitting/Drop-Ins: I will always treat your home and belongings with the utmost respect. I’m a firm believer in leaving the home as clean or even cleaner than when I entered it. I will ensure your fur baby’s daily routine is met with careful attention to detail and comfort! Boarding: I have a fenced in backyard and a fur baby of my own to help keep yours company (but let’s do a meet and greet to make sure they get along to ensure their safety)! We love going on walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch in the backyard, hanging out inside in the AC during the hotter months, and cuddling on the couch. Sally is my only dog (Beatles is my sister’s and stays with Sally during our joint vacations). Sally is crate trained for anxiety while alone, so as a safety measure, you are required to bring a crate for your dog when boarding. Dogs will only be crated when we aren’t home. My husband will also help out with your fur baby at times, so if you’d like to meet him too, just let me know! :)

Information Samantha P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dogs have any special preferences, if they dislike specific actions, or need a little extra attention! If your dog needs any specific medications, please let me know how to administer it and when. I want to be sure that you and your fur babies feel safe and comfortable with me!
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs mentally by practicing known tricks and trying to teach them new ones. I also love a good game of fetch and a nice stroll around the neighborhood!

Loving fur babies since childhood
Pet care experience
I always had cats growing up and have been a dog sitter for friends/family the past eight years. I’ve had a pup of my own for four years now and can’t imagine my life without her. I treat animals like children and understand how important it is to take care of others’ pets to their standard and beyond!

Reviews
Sam was very responsive throughout my trip and did a great job taking care of my dog. I will definitely book her again in the future!
If you need a pet sitter, look no further! Sam is the best, so caring and the best with our dogs. She was very patient and sent us so many updates, videos and pictures. It was so great to have a weekend away with no worrying that our dogs were getting the best care and attention. We will definitely use her again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! We have two very nervous dogs, and she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with them from the start. She took the time to let them get comfortable at their own pace and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free for both the dogs and us. Her calm, caring approach truly made a difference, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you have anxious pets!
Samantha was great! Luci was happy as a clam having her at home with her. Everything was great, and we appreciated the communication and photos eased our minds. The house was spotless which was an added bonus 🩷 We will definitely use Sam again!
