Highlights
Pet care experience
Walks,Cuddles & Care - All in one!
I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs. I’m patient, calm, and great at reading their behavior. Over time, I’ve helped train dogs with basic commands, leash manners, and socialization using positive reinforcement. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What makes me stand out is how much attention and care I put into each pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they get the right balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they always know their pet is happy and cared for. Your dog will be in loving, reliable hands with me.🐾
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my main focus is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always stick to their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, or bedtime habits, so they feel secure while their owners are away. I give plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles, but I also make sure they have quiet time if they need space. If I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect as my own and always make sure everything stays neat and clean. I send regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are being well taken care of. My goal is for every pet to feel happy and cared for, just like they would if their family were home.
Ratings and reviews
Samantha was wonderful with my dog Finn! She stayed with him for the day in my home and when I returned, he went back to sit with her and not me! I would call her again in a heartbeat!

I can’t say enough good things about Samantha. She’s incredibly dependable and treats my pet like her own — not just the basics, but the little things that actually matter (comfort, routine, attention, and patience). Communication is excellent: I get regular updates and photos, and she always checks in if anything is unclear instead of guessing. My pet is usually pretty attached to me, but with Samantha I came home to a relaxed, happy pet and a clean, well-kept space. It’s obvious she has a lot of experience, and I fully trust her. I’d recommend her to anyone.
If you are looking for a fun, reliable, responsible dog watcher Samantha is the one. My dog absolutely loves her. Every time I mention Samantha, my dog, river, he gets so happy. I would leave River with Samantha for about 2 days at a time since I travel for work. River has fun and well kept. She sends me photos of him throughout the day (without me asking) and River looks like he is having a blast. Samantha is the dog whisperer. I will continue with Samantha. And Samantha does exactly what My list says for her to do when I am not there. Like bathing him, and feeding him at certain times of the day. And he loves the outside especially when there’s snow. She makes sure he goes outside and have fun in the snow. Whereas previous dog watchers don’t do that and don’t keep me updated. Get Samantha!!
If there is anyone you can trust with your four-legged family members, it’s Samantha! I’ve known her for years, and her connection with animals is truly something special. She doesn’t just 'watch' pets; she treats them like her own—showering them with attention, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Samantha is incredibly responsible, punctual, and has a natural calm energy that even the most anxious pups gravitate toward. Whether it's a long hike or a cozy night in, she always goes the extra mile to ensure every pet is happy and every owner has peace of mind. Your pets are going to absolutely love her!
Samantha is truly amazing with pets. Every animal I’ve seen her care for instantly loves her, and you can tell she genuinely connects with them. She’s very responsible, clean, and always pays close attention to routines and details. I trust her completely with my puppy whenever I travel because she treats pets like they’re her own. She’s also kind, respectful, and great at communicating, which makes the whole experience stress-free.

Schedule
As a full-time college student, I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m available from 8–11 AM and again from 3:30–11 PM, and on Fridays I’m available from 3:30–11 PM. I’m also able to stay overnight on weekends if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, I’m very organized with my time and make it a priority to be fully present with the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit into my schedule.

- Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, allergies, medications, energy level, and any behavioral quirks. It’s also helpful to know what makes them feel comfortable, anxious, or excited so I can provide the best care possible.
