I currently work part time and remotely, this means that my schedule is pretty flexible. I have a few work meetings and a workout routine that I will stick to. This make it super easy to have time to care for your pets.

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.
Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet's personality, routine, and any special needs before the visit. This includes any medications, dietary restrictions, allergies, fears or anxieties, reactivity toward people or other animals, favorite activities, house rules, or anything else that will help me provide the best possible care. The more I know about your pet, the more comfortable and enjoyable their experience will be!
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I like to tailor activities to their personality and energy level! For playful pets, I'm happy to enjoy games like fetch, chase, or interactive toys, along with walks and plenty of playtime. For more relaxed pets, I'm just as happy to spend time cuddling, giving belly rubs (if they're a fan!), brushing, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, engaged, and loved while you're away

Pet care experience
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.

Reviews
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.
