Availability

I’m currently a student at the University of Delaware, and most of my classes are in the mornings. This means I’m generally available from 1 PM through the evening on weekdays, except Tuesdays, which are my busiest day. On some weekends, I may travel home to see family, my boyfriend, and work at the vet, but I’ll keep my calendar up to date so you’ll always know when I’m available.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and happiness mean everything to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, so I treat every pet like my own. I always take the time to learn their routine, what makes them comfortable, and what helps them feel at ease. Whether it’s making sure doors and gates are secure, sticking closely to feeding and medication instructions, or simply giving them extra love when they need it, I’ll do everything I can to keep them safe and cared for. I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and feel reassured while you’re away. At the end of the day, I want your pet to feel loved, relaxed, and happy, and for you to have total peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

It’s really helpful for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before I spend time with them. Please share things like: favorite activities and energy level, quirks, how they do with other animals or people, or any training cues or commands you'd like me to enforce.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is all about keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I love starting off with some playtime to get their energy out, whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring their favorite toys. If your pet enjoys walks, we’ll head outside for fresh air and exercise, making sure to go at their pace. For pets who prefer a quieter day, I’m just as happy to spend time cuddling, brushing, or simply keeping them company. I like to mix in enrichment activities too, such as practicing basic commands, so they’re mentally engaged as well as physically. My goal is always to stick to your pet’s usual routine while adding a little extra fun, love, and attention.

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals my whole life! My first dog was by my side for 15 years, and I recently rescued another pup of my own. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to care for their dogs when they’re away, and I also help with my boyfriend’s cats and dogs. I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my family.

Samantha’s genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. Not only is she reliable and attentive but also incredibly patient and compassionate. Whether it’s daily care or playtime, San treats every pet as if it were her own. If she is watching your pet, you will know they are in capable and caring hands.
