Reviews
Samantha was the best, a real life-saver. We needed someone on short notice and we were so lucky to find her. It's always difficult to find good people because our dog is paralyzed and needs his bladder emptied in a unique way. From just watching one time, she was able to successfully express his bladder fully, something that we have never found in any other. We couldn't be happier.
Sam has been working as a Veterinary Technician for about 13 years. As such her professional life revolves around ensuring animals are properly cared for. Not only does she have a great amount of technical/scientific knowledge in regards to the well-being of animals, but she has a tremendous amount of practice handling animals when they are upset and she is delighted to complete all the usual tasks required to keep animals happy such as walking them, playing with them, and grooming them! Outside of work Sam also spends much of her personal time at home caring for multiple pet dogs, cats, and birds, making sure they have a loving home. I've seen her care for other animals in her home she did not necessarily expect to, such as the offspring of some of her own birds and foster kittens she was looking to secure homes for. She is definitely an animal person and would love to spend her spare time caring for more pets that need looking after!
In the years I have known Sam, she has shown love and compassion for all animals. She treats my cats and dogs as if they are (and always have been) her own and they absolutely love her in return. She is very vigilant with them and notices even minor behaviors that are unusual or concerning. She is also vigilant on walks, aware of the surroundings and any potential dangers. Sam loves to have fun with the pets she has and any pet she meets.
