Pet care experience

Animals have always been a part of my life—from growing up with my sweet chocolate lab, Jessie, to now being a proud cat mom to Sir Purr and Smore. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior cats and dogs, and I’ve learned so much from the pets of family members and neighbors along the way. For the past few years, I’ve been pet sitting for close family friends, and it’s something I truly love. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle cuddles, or just a reliable routine, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Your furry friends will be treated like family—because to me, they are!

Samantha did a wonderful job! She took care of our babies and our home. Did a great job staying in touch with us and sending videos and pictures. We look forward to working with her again.

She was very nice but unfortunately couldn’t not stick to our scheduling needs which included my dogs being left in there crates 22 out of 24 hours a day.. my dogs don’t have access to food or water whe in there crates so this was unacceptable to us as well and she was not timely in returning to give my dog her medications I hate that I have to leave a bad review maybe it was just bad timing for her but I want people to know if you need consistent care I personally would not recommend
