Like Their Second Home - 24/7 Care

About Me 🐾 • I’m a 20 year old college student studying veterinary medicine. Since I study remotely, I’m home almost all day and have a lot of free time. • I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals for 7+ years and genuinely love spending time with animals! What I Provide 🐾 • A safe, loving, and comfortable environment • Lots of attention and personalized care throughout the day since I’m home almost all day! • One-on-one care when needed • Regular potty breaks and walks • Drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship • Dog walks to give your pup some exercise and fresh air • Feeding based on their usual routine • Fresh water always available • Photos & video updates so you can see how they’re doing • Lots of playtime, attention, and cuddles • Care based on your dog’s personality and individual needs Good to Know 🐾 • I only take 1–2 dogs at a time for boarding, so each dog gets plenty of attention and care. • Boarding is provided in my home, while drop-ins are done in your home. • Dog walks are done around your neighborhood. • Located in Homestead, FL • For boarding, pet parents handle drop-off and pickup. • Please bring everything your dog will need for their stay, including food, leash, medications, and any comfort items they’re used to. Pricing & Booking 🐾 • Higher maintenance dogs may have a slightly higher rate depending on the care needed. • Boarded dogs should be friendly and comfortable around people and other dogs. • Boarding dogs should be comfortable staying in a home environment. • Please let me know about your dog’s routine, personality, medications, and anything else that will help me take the best care of them!

Samantha is a very loving and caring individual when it comes to the care of pets. Every time ive asked her to dog sit for me ive never come home to any complaints or anything out of order which makes sense given how good she is taking care of her own pets. I would recommend her to taking care after anyone’s pet if you want someone who actually cares for what they are doing.

She is one of the most genuinely compassionate and caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. Her love for them is at the heart of everything she does, and you can trust that every animal in her care will be treated with patience, love, and respect. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable who will care for their animals as if they were her own.

Samantha is a great pet sitter, she cares for my pet a lot and she's always taken great care of them whenever I can't be there at the moment!

Samantha Rojas is an excellent worker and gives the best customer service you could ask for, her ability to adapt quickly and to any situation makes her a great candidate. She is amazing with animals and puts 100% of her effort into her work. Samantha is always on task and her honesty plays a part in her character aswell. She took care of my dog wonderfully and I’ve had no issues. I have a very hyper chihuahua yorkie mix that can be a real handful sometimes but she managed to handle him beautifully and care for him. Samantha did everything I asked her to ( clean after him, walk him, give him vitamins, shower him, and feed him).

Safety, trust & environment

When your pet is with me, I mainly want to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and taken care of. I’ll follow their usual routine as much as I can, including their normal feeding times, walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to at home. I’ll also follow any instructions you give me so they can stick to what they’re familiar with. I really enjoy spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your baby gets plenty of attention, playtime, and love while they’re here. I treat the dogs I sit like my own and spoil them as much as I can! I want them to feel comfortable in my home and get the care they deserve. I’ll keep you updated very often so you know how they’re doing. For boarding at my home, since I only host 1–2 dogs at a time, your baby gets constant supervision, lots of cuddles, and you get daily updates! You can randomly facetime/message me to check in on them anywhere between my availability if you just miss them and want to see them and I will almost always pick up the phone so you can see them. (At the same time, do keep in mind I am a college student, so I may not always be able to pick up.) I promise to try my best to keep you reassured and your dog happy 🐾❤️

Pets

A typical day

Our day depends entirely on your dog’s specific needs, but it includes routine based feeding, potty breaks every 2-4 hours, neighborhood walks, lots of playtime and love (If you’re boarding, depending on the weather & dog, I love to take them to the dog park/beach whenever I can!!)

I want your pup to feel at home during their stay with me, so I’d love to learn all about their unique personality and quirks beforehand!! Please let me know their usual meal times, portion sizes, and potty schedule so I can keep their day completely normal. It is also super helpful to know how they act around new people, if they get along well with other dogs, any medical needs, or if things like loud noises and separation anxiety make them nervous. Knowing these little details helps me spoil them exactly the way you do and keep them happy, relaxed, and loved.
