Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s new, safe best friend!!
I grew up in a household full of dogs and cats and a turtle! This lifelong exposure taught me that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs. For the past few years, I’ve specialized in in-home pet sitting, offering both daytime visits and overnight stays to ensure your pets feel secure in their own environment. I am particularly experienced with high-energy and reactive pups. My own 'wild' puppy has taught me patience and various positive reinforcement training techniques, so I’m well-equipped to handle strong pullers or dogs who get a bit nervous on walks. Whether it's a calm senior cat or a zoomie-prone puppy, I know how to keep them engaged and safe.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that your home is your sanctuary. I pride myself on being extremely cleanly and respectful of your space. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it (if not a little tidier!). Beyond the house, your pet's safety is my #1 priority. I am hyper-vigilant during walks and always adhere to your specific household rules regarding furniture, feeding, and routine. I treat every 'pet child' with the same love, attention, and protection I give my own, so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Samantha was amazing! She was communicative and friendly. I could tell that Finn loved her. She took great care of my home as well and I would recommend her to anyone. (Although I’d love to keep her a secret so she’s always available for Finny!:))
I cannot recommend Sam enough, whether you’re looking for someone who is reliable, good with animals, sweet, or all the above she is your girl! Sam was incredible with my reactive dog, as well as my old grumpy one. Anytime I travel, she’s the first person I messaged to see if she’s available. I have recommended her to friends, and they all have nothing but great things to say as well. And not to mention, I think she may have left my house cleaner than she found it? And who doesn’t love that?!If you wanna ensure a great experience, not only for yourself, but you’re furry friends, Sam’s your girl.

Schedule
As a college student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have the ability to step away for midday walks or check-ins, ensuring your pet is never alone for too long. During the summer months, I am out of school and only work a part-time job one day a week. This means I have nearly 24/7 wide-open availability for housesitting, extended stays, and frequent drop-ins to keep your furry (or shelled) friends company!
