Safety, trust & environment

I always put pets’ safety and comfort first. I carefully follow all instructions, keep pets secure, and pay close attention to their behavior. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space, follow house rules, and make sure your pet feels calm, comfortable, and well cared for.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know important details about each pet ahead of time, such as their feeding schedule, any medications, favorite activities, fears, or special needs. This helps me make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.

A typical day

I spend the day keeping pets happy and active! Dogs get walks, playtime, and cuddles, while cats enjoy toys, attention, and quiet companionship. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels loved and cared for!

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for my own dog for six years and cat for 3, and truly understand the importance of patience, consistency, and routine. I love animals and enjoy taking my dog on long walks, hikes, and trips to the beach. I first started watching my neighbor’s dog and cat, feeding them and taking their dog out for walks, when they were busy or away, and now I am consistently taking care of pets on a daily basis. I have a passion for all sorts of animals and I can assure you that your pet will be happy within my care!!
