Safety, trust & environment

At the moment, I live with my parents and elderly dog. Molly, our dog, tends to snap when she gets confused or frustrated, so many of the difficult duties have been passed down to me. This is because I’ve learned how to establish trust with her. I have had many pets throughout my life and have always prioritized their comfort and safety.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about anything that may irritate your pet, how they are around other animals, any medical problems I should be aware of, or anything you would like me to know prior to my care. If your pet prefers their personal space that it something I want to respect!

A typical day

Depending on your dogs age and abilities, I would love to take them on runs/walks to a near by park or safe trails. I think playtime is important in maintaining your pets happy mood! For elderly dogs, I’ve come to understand that they prefer quality time and light activities.

Passionate, gentle animal lover!

Pet care experience

I am known to work very well with animals no matter what kind. I love catering to a pets needs and look for every sign to know how they’re feeling. Growing up with so many different animal friends has led me to view caring for them as a passion! Because I am fairly athletic and agile, I can keep up with your pet, whether they’re energetic or a lazy bum! Aside from getting the job done correctly I will always make sure to respect you and your pets space. I currently have a part time job that may require me to be away for anywhere between 4-8 hours.

I cannot recommend Samantha enough!!! I traveled to Europe for over two weeks, and Samantha took the best care of my sweet kitten. I was so scared to leave my fur baby for a long period of time, but Samantha was an amazing communicator. She sent me daily photos and videos, and she kept me updated on how my kitten was doing. I came home to a happy cat and a VERY clean home! Samantha is the best cat/house sitter I have ever hired, and I really hope to work with her again in the future! She is responsible, kind, and a big animal lover!
