Availability

As a full-time professional, pet care is my primary focus, not a “side gig”. I maintain a flexible but structured schedule that allows for consistent routines and timely updates. My calendar is updated daily to ensure accuracy, and I prioritize building long-term relationships with families who need a dedicated, year-round partner in their pet’s care.

Safety, trust & environment

Your home is a sanctuary and I treat it as such. I follow all security protocols, including double-checking locks and alarm systems, while maintaining a clean, quiet environment. My Fear Free training ensures I respect your pet's boundaries and stress signals, creating a safe space where they feel secure and understood while you are away.

Information Samantha T. would like to know about your pet

Please share any specific medical needs, dietary restrictions, or behavioral triggers. I specialize in pets who require a patient, technical approach, so knowing about their medication schedules, anxiety triggers, or mobility issues helps me provide the most precise and comfortable care possible for your family.

A typical day

A typical day focuses on a consistent, low-stress routine. I mix gentle physical exercise with mental enrichment, like puzzle feeders or scent work, tailored to your pet's energy level. I prioritize quality one-on-one time and quiet companionship, ensuring your pet remains calm and happy throughout the day.

Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They kept us fully in the loop throughout the whole stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Seeing how happy and relaxed our pups looked in every picture made it so easy to enjoy our time away without worry. You can tell Samantha genuinely cares about the animals in their care. We will definitely be booking again!
