Pet care experience

I've had my pets all my life. Starting with my cockapoo and more recently my tabby cat who just passed away. I miss having pets around, and I've helped with dog boarding business recently when the owner needs breaks. I'm reliable and caring and your dog or cat will be in great hands with me. I have a few beautiful walking paths near my house and could take your doggie for walks and have a small back yard as well.

We’ve used Samantha several times now for both pet sitting and house sitting, and she has been absolutely wonderful every time. Our elderly dog Trixie requires a little extra care and attention, and Samantha is so patient, attentive, and loving with her. It gives us such peace of mind knowing Trixie is in such good hands while we’re away. What really amazed us is that she even managed to win over our very shy cat, Noah, who normally hides from everyone. The fact that he comes out for her says everything. She’s reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We always come home to happy pets and a well cared for house. We highly recommend her!

Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our elderly dog, Trixie, over Thanksgiving. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and attentive to Trixie’s needs, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Samantha sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Trixie felt comfortable and loved. We’re so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We’ll definitely book with her again!
