Flexible and enthusiastic sitter!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a college student that loves all types of animals and wants to help out in any way I can! I’ve gotten both doses of the COVID vaccine (and booster) and have never received a negative test. I've grown up with pets my whole life (plus 3 siblings, who are basically animals too) and I have experience caring for a wide range of pets; I've fostered kittens and puppies from ages of 2 weeks to 15 years! I've also dogsat and housesat for up to four dogs at once. In addition, I've taken care of small infants and children (which isn't totally applicable, but animals and children are more alike than people think!) I love being around animals and I'd honestly petsit for free if it was financially possible! I'm also interested in studying veterinary science and want to care for animals professionally in the future. My most recent job was working at a doggy daycare as a pet care attendant, so I have a great deal of experience with large groups of dogs and catering to the needs of individuals!

Samantha was prompt and caring. She communicated well and had a very positive attitude. I plan to engage her again after her summer vacation.

The pups LOVED Sam from the moment she came for a meet and greet! She took amazing care of them and the house and I came home to calm, happy pups! Sam will be my go to house sitter going forward!

Samantha took care of my chihuahua mix in our home and was wonderful! She provided updates and was quick to respond to messages. It looked like my dog had a great time with her. Samantha also left our home in great condition which was very nice to come home to!

Samantha was amazing. She was available on short notice when we found out that we needed coverage the following day, and she was able to fit in a meet and greet as well. From the moment our 1 year old Border Terrier met her, he was hooked! She did a great job of keeping a highly energetic puppy safe and engaged, and she kept us very informed. Thank you for being so responsive and responsible!
