Safety, trust & environment

I always start my routine by opening doors slowly to make sure nobody escapes. I clean litter boxes daily, even if it isn’t necessary. For male cats, I am always making sure they’ve used the restroom within the past 24 hours, in order to avoid urinary tract issues. If the kitty doesn’t seem to be in a playful mood, I always make sure to maintain space to allow them to approach me on their own accord. I have two female cats of my own, and all of my daily sitter habits reflect to them as well. I go above and beyond to make sure your furry friends are safe and happy.

Pets

Happy to care for puppies!

Pet care experience

Raised around dogs my entire life, my family and friends have consistently trusted me to care for their canine family. I have a two year old GSD of my own whom I share with my best friend who is the sweetest and most loving dog you will ever meet.

Samantha is a very responsible and loving person when it comes to taking care of animals. She has cared for everything from snakes to horses. She has experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and I have always felt good about leaving my pets with her when I travel. As a former pet sitter, I started taking Sam to petsitting jobs with me when she was a teenager. She helped me rescue a mama cat and her two kittens and cared for them until the kittens found homes. If you are looking for a great person to watch your pets you can’t go wrong by hiring Samantha!
