Pet care experience

Dependable Pet Sitter & Walker

I enjoy animals of all types, and have had dogs and cats growing up. I’m familiar with several breed types and am comfortable with any size dog. I enjoy connecting with pets and giving them love through play time, plenty of touch/pets, and even offering quiet pockets where I read/draw and they can relax in the same space with me. It’s all about focusing on what keeps them happy while I’m there as a visitor in their safe space. Your pet will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. I have pet sat for highly social and energetic dogs and cats, as well as shy/timid ones. I’ve also cared for senior pets that need less energetic play and more quality interactive time. It’s not about forcing my presence, but rather giving them the opportunity to know they are safe even with someone they don’t know in their home. I like to share updates - pictures and videos are sent daily to ease your discomfort of being away from them and to help assure your pet is receiving quality care.

Safety, trust & environment

I am flexible to whatever a client prefers. I am happy to adhere to your guidelines for feeding times, specific diet, treat giving, and anything else for your fur baby’s well-being. I’ve provided medication as needed, as well. I enjoy time outside, but monitor for heat and safety for your pet first and foremost. Walks, if approved, will be kept to the local neighborhood - I do not transport pets unless there is an emergency. Respect for your private sanctuary is important - I will maintain any guidelines given to me for your home, can bring the mail and packages in while you’re gone, and will leave it the same or better than when I arrived.

I have used Samantha to pet/house sit, for several years. I have several small dogs, some of which are extremely timid. I know Samantha is patient with them, and all my dogs get love and attention. I receive pictures from her almost everyday, which makes the time away from my furr babies, so much easier. And an extra benefit, I come home to a clean house. Highly recommend Samantha.

I like to know if there’s any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. Also, knowing which favorite/comfort items will help your pet feel calm and secure are helpful. I’d like to adhere to their regular routine in their space as consistent as possible.
