Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for dogs to safely roam and play. There is also a pool on the property that is not gated, and I always make sure pets are supervised to ensure their safety at all times. My dog Canelo is often seen sunbathing in the backyard or asleep all day. He has never shown an ounce of aggression and will more than likely completely leave them alone as he typically keeps to himself, making him easygoing around other dogs.

Experienced & Loving Animal Care

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sam (Samantha), and I’ve been around pets my entire life. I’ve had a family dog for as long as I can remember and have also cared for family members’ pets while they were out of town. I have experience with dog washing, managing multiple animals at once, and making sure each pet stays on their normal schedule. I’m dependable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

Sam was a wonderful dog sitter. She arrived right on schedule, was very dependable, and made the entire experience easy and worry-free. She took great care of my pet and kept me updated throughout with photos, which really helped me feel comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. She showed real care and attention to detail, and I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others looking for a trustworthy sitter.

Samantha helped care for my dog, Coupi, before she passed away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person. The level of love, patience, and attention she showed was incredible. She cared for Coupi multiple times a week, often during long days and evenings while I was at work. Samantha made sure all of her needs were met, like walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and even bathing, always going above and beyond. What stood out most was how genuinely caring and attentive she was. I always felt at ease knowing Coupi was in such good hands. Samantha treated her like her own, and that meant everything to me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and loving pet caregiver.

I highly recommend Samantha as a pet caregiver. She is kind, caring, and very responsible with animals. Samantha makes sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. She always checked in and communicated with me to make sure my pet was being taken care of!
