I am a stay at home mom and am hoping to keep it that way. My kids and I are very respectful and loving to animals and would treat your baby as a member of the family. I would be with your pet for however long they are here with full attention and lots of play or cuddles.

Information Samantha T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or requirements. I prefer dogs that welcome affection and cuddling as my family will very much so pet, play and cuddle. Please schedule for exact time of drop off and pick up so I can put the other dogs away so no one escapes. I am not accepting Pit Bulls at this time. If your dog has any food or toy aggression/growls at other pets or people please find other accommodation.

A typical day

A typical day here is lots of love and toy time. At minimum they go outside every two hours for ten to fifteen minutes. I’m a helicopter mom so they’ll have eyes on them pretty much constantly!

Sam’s Sit N’ Stay

Pet care experience

Hey y’all! My name is Sam and I work remotely from home. I have a small area in my backyard that has about a three foot fence for doggies to use the restroom. Lots of couches for fur babies to lounge on. I have three children in home too that will pet and play gently. About me personally- I’m a caregiver. I’ve always been the mom friend. Then babysitter of the nephews and nieces. Then raising my own family. Then I became the family pet sitter. Now I have three doggies of my own. I’m just ready to share the love.

I could rave about how absolutely amazing Samantha was with my Khaleesi for hours, but I’ll keep it short for reading purposes. My dog Khaleesi is a high anxiety dog and does not do well with strangers and typically hides from them. Samantha had her during the day for 3 days, and from day 1 Khaleesi took right to her. It did take some warming up time, but Samantha kept me very updated and sent pictures throughout the day. By the end of the 3 days, Khaleesi was walking into Samantha’s house without hesitation and didn’t even turn around to look at me. Samantha is incredible and I highly recommend her!!!!
