Pet care experience

Your Dog’s New Favorite Human

I grew up surrounded by dogs, including German Shepherds, Boxers, and Mastiffs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. My family always had two or three dogs, which gave me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve also provided dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care for friends, and through TrustedHousesitters. I’ve completed extended pet sits lasting up to a month. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, and companionship, and receive any medications or special care they need. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that’s playing, cuddling, practicing basic training, or simply keeping them company. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

Samantha was a huge help to check in on our dogs at the last minute. She sent lots of photos & was a great communicator.

I have trusted Samantha on several occasions to watch both my baby (dog) girl Stella and my house. She is fantastic at tidying and organizing even when she is new to an environment. She can quickly figure out where things go with very little direction and never leaves my spaces cluttered or messy. My dog loves her and she takes her on very long walks when I am not home. She sends lots of pictures too which helps a ton when I am away and missing my girl. I would definitely recommend her for both pet and house sitting!!

Sam took care of my 2 Xoloitzcuintlis for over a month. If you know anything about this dog breed, they are A LOT of work (hairless and require a lot of attention with hygiene and exercise.) Her communication was great, and I felt that she was very trustworthy. Highly recommend.

Sam came through for us at an important time. Tommy was an elderly golden doodle, and toward the end of his life, he needed a little extra care. He required patience on his slow walks, help getting in and out of the car, morning and evening meds on a strict schedule, and nightly teeth brushing, which he did not let just anyone do. Sam handled all of it without missing a beat. When I got back, Tommy was happy and in great shape. The teeth brushing thing really says it all; he liked and trusted her. I would trust Sam with any of my animals, without hesitation.

Sam is an excellent person and pet sitter. She stayed in my home for 3 weeks while I was traveling internationally to care for my beloved cat, Muffins. Sam was so easy to get to know; she came to my home before I left for my trip so she could learn Muffins needs and routine and so I could build trust with her. While I was traveling she was very communicative with check ins about my cat, but always tried to solve any issues before reaching out to me. It was the perfect balance. If you’re looking for someone responsible to care for your pet - I fully recommend Sam!

Samantha is a dog’s dream companion. Her personal values revolve around health & fitness, which means you’ll almost always see her out in the neighborhood walking to get those 10,000 steps a day. For any dog who loves going for a walk, she’s the perfect mate. Samantha is routine oriented on a day-to-day basis, which really seemed to help my golden retriever stay on schedule with meal times and walk times while I was away. She was attentive to my dog’s needs (and all his emotions!) throughout the day, and even checked in my black cat, Sushi, who needless to say, requires a lot less hands-on time than my dog. Samantha worked out great for a dog and cat household, as she kept the whole team on schedule, exercised, and well cared for.
