Pet care experience

Loving care for all pets

Hi, I’m Sam! I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I specialize in in-home care that supports a dog’s normal routine, which is especially helpful for seniors, puppies, anxious dogs, and dogs with medical needs. I focus on routine-based visits that help dogs feel calm, secure, and well cared for while their humans are away. I’m comfortable administering medication, following detailed care instructions, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I also maintain a limited schedule so I can give each visit my full attention. I respect visit times, communicate clearly, and provide photo updates so pet parents feel informed and at ease while they’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

With two dogs of my own, I understand the importance of providing a safe, trusting, and loving environment for pets. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, treating every dog with the same kindness and care I give my own. I tailor my approach to each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and loved while in my care.

Samantha was so helpful by accepting my last minute booking and taking care of my sick dog. She kept me informed and my dog seemed to love her!

Samantha is reliable, a good communicator, and takes good care of our pups with pictures and updates. We trust her with our 2 dogs on trips where she stays a few days overnight in our house so the pups don't have to go anywhere and stay in a cage. Samantha also gives our diabetic yorkie daily insulin injections which is a big plus to have someone who can handle that. Thanks!

Samantha was great! She agreed to watch my cat as a last minute request and was very communicative. I’d definitely recommend her!

Samantha is great! She literally saved us when we had a last minute all day event that would leave our 7 month old puppy alone at home too long. She was able to drop in every couple of hours to check on Baby, let her out to potty, play and eat. She’s super communicative and send visit photos. We look forward to booking our next visit.
