Highlights
Pet care experience
Lots of love & experience for pets!
I grew up with a wonderful lab/hound mix from when she was 6 months to 16 years old. We had a senior dog and an elderly cat during that time as well, so I love young and energetic as well as older pets. I currently have a 6 year old Standard Poodle named Mina, who is simply my greatest joy in life. In addition to my own pets, my siblings and I ran a petsitting business in our neighborhood from when I was in 6th grade until I graduated high school. We had many regular customers as well as a consistent flow of new ones. I dealt with all sorts of animals, homes, and pet owners over those years. Rover has now been my favorite job for 6+ years. I hope to care for your pet or pets with all the ability and love that I possess!
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
Since pet care means having a living creature's life as my responsibility, monitoring their health, safety, and wellbeing is my main focus while petsitting. Maintaining a pet-friendly environment, keeping an eye out for any irregular behavior, and making sure your pet is as happy as can be are some of the tasks that keep my focus during these jobs.
Ratings and reviews
We have booked with Samantha multiple times now, and she is truly an amazing cat sitter! She takes wonderful care of Pumpkin, sends detailed updates with great photos, and follows all care instructions to a T. On our most recent trip, when there was a potential issue with our AC, Samantha went above and beyond to make sure Pumpkin stayed safe and comfortable. Knowing Pumpkin is in such caring, proactive hands gives us complete peace of mind while away. We will definitely be booking with Samantha again in the future and recommend you do the same if you are looking for a sitter!
Samantha is great! Our kitty was so happy when we got home. Very reliable and professional. She took the time to point out behaviors she thought might be worrisome and lost of play time. Definitely recommend and will hire again! Thank you, Samantha.
Sam is absolutely amazing, very communicative along the entire stay. Came home to happy and tired dogs!
Samantha did a great job caring for my cats for a week while I was away. She ensured they were fed, had fresh water, and that the litter box was in good shape. She also went above and beyond by filling the treat puzzle for them each morning. My cats are shy, so having the treat puzzle to play with gave them some fun while I was away. I would rebook with Samantha again!
Great as always! Very considerate of the space.
Samantha was awesome and did drop in visits while I was in the hospital and recovering from surgery, and I had total peace of mind. She followed all instructions, kept food/water and the litter area clean, and sent helpful updates and photos each visit. My cat was calm and well cared for when I got home. I’ll absolutely book Samantha again and highly recommend her to any cat parent.

Schedule
I left my traditional retail job in summer 2022, so my schedule is now focused on pet care. For both cat-sitting and dog-sitting I can visit your pet(s) as needed throughout the day as well as stay overnight. For dogs I can also provide walks and outdoor time included with the stay. For house-sitting I will often be able to stay with your pet(s) during the day as well if needed, but since I do have family in town and appointments now and then, before booking we should discuss your pet's parameters for being alone.
