Enthusiastic Sitter in Edgewater

Pet care experience

I recently moved to the Edgewater/Bryn Mawr neighborhood of Chicago as I pursue a career in opera performance. I'm employed full time as a resident artist for a local opera company, and my schedule is pretty flexible when I'm not involved with a production. I regularly update my calendar on here based on my availability. I offer anything from extended overnight stays to drop-ins and walks. I'm happy to stop by and feed your cat while traveling as well! I am a responsible, playful, and loving care giver, who has worked for Rover since 2015. Originally from St. Louis, I've lived with dogs my whole life until moving to Boston in 2013 for grad school. I travel easily via public transit, so anywhere within 3/4 mile of either CTA train or bus stops will work for me. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions!

Samantha did a great job! Chuck is a 105 pound dog and can be a little picky with people. He took to her right away. She let me know when she arrived and provided updates during the time she spent with him. I will definitely Use her again!

Samantha was a great with my two shih tzus! She sent regular updates and photos while I was away. She was professional and attentive. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.

Samantha was a perfect sitter! Took great care of our pup and house while we were traveling for a quick trip. Sent photos and keep us in the loop while we were away. Would definitely use her again!

Samantha was very responsible and responsive. Our pooch was very well cared for. She stepped in on short notice after another sitter cancelled. I’d highly recommend her.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds - especially pit bulls and large breeds! Other types of pets also loved (cats, fish, etc.).

A typical day

Laid back or energetic depending on the particular animal's needs. Love walking and playing - also love slow-paced tummy rub time. We can discuss your pet's demeanor and activity level to see what will work best. During busy rehearsal periods, the longest I'd be away for work is 8 hours. I'm willing to stay the night for pets with separation anxiety.
