Availability

I have a hybrid work schedule that lets me work from home three days a week. My hours are 9–5, but I’m able to step out during lunch when needed. My weekends are completely open, with no commitments to work around, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they need.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure their routine and environment stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. In your home, I follow your instructions closely - from feeding schedules and litter box care to preferred toys, safe spaces, and any special habits your pet has. I take the time to learn their personality so they feel secure and understood. I’m always careful with doors, windows, and anything that could pose a risk, and I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, triggers, or favorite activities. I want them to enjoy their time so knowing their preferences and personality is very important to me!

A typical day

I love to go on walks or hikes with dogs. If your pet loves to play with a certain toy or has a favorite activity I can be sure to include in my service!

Your Pet’s New Bestfriend

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is that pet care has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and neighbors, so caring for animals isn’t just something I do - it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve learned how to read different personalities, build trust quickly, and make pets feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Your furry friend gets the same attention, patience, and affection I’ve always given to the pets I grew up caring for.

Sam was great. Very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure my two cats were well looked after while I was away! I will definitely book her again.

Samantha was very communicative, professional, and helpful! She left a lot of information and made sure to take our dog on nice long walks. We will definitely book again!
