This is my happy place!

Pet care experience

I love dogs! I also have experience with cats, rabbits, reptiles, and birds! My daughter wishes I had experince with unicorns. I was a vet tech in Brookfield, Wisconsin for 5 years. I worked in the boarding facility as well! I also fostered for San Antonio Pets Alive! & Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue! Your pets would be well loved and spoiled as if you were still home! I can give medications orally or if your pet has other needs such as: insulin injections that's something I have experience with as well. I can be pretty flexible to accommodate your travel plans. Let's set up a meet & greet today and let your babies be one less worry while you're on vacation! Talk soon 🙂

Sam watched our “special needs” cats for two whole weeks while we were out of the country. She is reliable, and was able to medicate them with ease. My cats are comfortable around her and I’m so happy to have found her!

Samantha is wonderful. She checked on our cats and other small animals on the scheduled dates and sent us pictures and updates. She let us know when our power was out and did a little extra (pouring water into the fish tank to help aerate it) to help our pets through it. She kept an eye on a cat who was recovering from a medical condition and reassured us (with photos) that he was healing nicely and not swelling. We are out in the country west of Omro, so I was pleased that she was willing to come to our house, since some pet-sitters will only work in Oshkosh.

Sam had excellent communication, and was professional and reliable. She took adorable "status" pictures of my kitties to assure me they were doing fine and everything was going well.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to do meet & greets to get your pets use to me and figure out how to appropriately take care of them. It also gives me a chance to learn how you'd like things done while I'm visiting.

Information Samantha R. would like to know about your pet

We have kids under 10 in our home. Currently in away mode for boarding (no fence) We are a family run sitting service. Sometimes my kiddos come with and sometimes they don't (depends on the visit times!) My kids are very animal oriented but sometimes animals just don't like kids.

A typical day

We like to play fetch or chase. If my kiddos tag along they have a great time too. If we are walking we like to keep it pretty simple especially if it's an area I'm unfamiliar with. Just safer that way! We usually play before or after walking.
