Safety, trust & environment

The care I give will depend on the client’s instructions and the pet’s needs. I am very gentle and in tune with animals. I do not force a connection and I let pets come to me. I understand pets need time to get to know someone and I respect their space. But if your pet loves me from the get go and requires a lot of cuddles, I’m happy to oblige. 😊 I offer boarding for one kitty at a time, in a quiet, private space - perfect for cats who need peace and calm, with cosy vertical space, a litter box, food and water, as needed.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

Peace of mind for pet parents

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Samantha – a lifelong animal lover with a soft heart and calm energy. Whether your pet is playful or shy, quirky or cuddly, I meet them right where they are – with love, patience, and care. I’ve raised cats exclusively but I get along with all animals, and I treat them all as family. 🐶🐱 If you're looking for someone gentle, responsible, and tuned into your pet’s needs (and your instructions!), I’m your person. I offer drop-ins, walks, and cozy cuddles – whatever your furry friend needs to feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also offer boarding for one kitty at a time in a quiet, private space, perfect for cats who need peace and calm. They will not interact with my older cat. Let me know how I can help you and your pet feel completely at ease. I can’t wait to meet your little one! 🐾💕

Samantha is a very good communicator and we got along great. She understood all of the directions we left for her and asked questions when needed. She is always on time and I had full confidence that our cats were well taken care of while we were gone.
