Pro Pet Sitter-Flexible Schedule ❤

A little about me :) I have love for all animals and have experience owning and caring for many different types of animals , but dogs hold a special place in my heart. My main goal is to give owners peace of mind while they’re away from their pup. Experience: When it comes to dogs- I’ve taken care of everything from tiny puppies to elderly dogs requiring oral medication, from small breeds to extra-large and I have never had a bad experience taking care of any of them. I have personally owned and trained many of my own dogs over the years- a Pomapoo a Boston terrier, a Pitbull, a Border Collie, a Boxer/Mastiff and my current dog Badger a Blue Heeler. Meet & Greet: When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person! When meeting your pup for the first time, I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence to start gaining their trust Setting Expectations: I will always go above and beyond when taking care of your pup. I know how difficult it can be to away from your best friend, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! I’ll treat them just as if they were my own. So in other words, I’ll definitely be spoiling them! In addition to that, I always make sure to send daily updates to owners, so you can know exactly how your pup is doing. Of course, there will be lots of accompanying pictures that will show you just how much fun we’re having together!

Dog Walking • Aug 06, 2026

Samantha is so sweet and clearly loves animals. She was on time and very communicative. She sent us the best pictures of our little guy. Highly recommend.

House Sitting • Aug 05, 2026

Wow…what to say. Samantha was amazing. My Otis has had some difficulties since an attack over a year ago including terror during storms so I was very anxious about leaving him. She not only worked well with him, including giving considerable medication morning and night, but was willing to share ideas with me to help him. The house was spotless, Otis was happy. I was massively relieved! I even told her she was magic! I will absolutely ask her again. Thank you Samantha for helping me and Otis…💟

Millie has a new best friend in Samantha, who showered her with love and attention while we were away! We got frequent updates and happy pictures throughout the stay, and I swear that dog was smiling!!!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 02, 2026

Samantha was great! Our dog stayed for day care while we were in town and she gave him lots of love, sent fun updates, and even sent us home with a custom pawprint activity. Would highly recommend!

Samantha did a phenomenal job with Teddy. Her communication was great, she was on time and even left him a sweet toy! Ted is very particular and in the photo she shared, I could tell he was happy and comfortable!
