Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When your pet is with me, my main goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I’ll follow their normal routine as much as I can, whether that’s their usual feeding time, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or anything else they’re used to at home. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me so they can stay on their normal routine. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so I’ll make sure your baby gets plenty of attention, love, and playtime during our visit. I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own and want them to feel safe and comfortable while I’m with them. 🐾❤️ For drop-ins, I can help with things like feeding, potty breaks, refreshing their water, giving them some playtime and attention, and making sure they’re doing okay while you’re away. For walks, I’ll make sure they get a good walk at their own pace and plenty of time to sniff and enjoy themselves. I’ll also send you updates and pictures during each visit so you know how your baby is doing and can see what we’re up to! I’m also a college student, so my availability can vary around my class schedule, but I’ll always do my best to communicate clearly and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. ❤️

Boarding • Sep 08, 2026

I secured Samantha services on short notice over Memorial Day weekend, and was very impressed. She received me into her home, explained where Ramsey would stay, and demonstrated genuine kindness and professionalism. Her communication was prompt and thorough, which made coordination seamless. Ramsey was clearly at ease with her—reluctant to leave—which speaks volumes. If you are in the South Florida area, I would not take my dog anywhere else.

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).

Before our first visit, I’d love to know a little bit about your dog! Things like their normal feeding and potty schedule, how they are around new people or other dogs, and anything that makes them nervous or uncomfortable. Please also let me know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, or anything else I should be aware of beforehand. Even the little things are helpful! The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can make sure they’re comfortable and taken care of while you’re away.
