Pet care experience

Happy paws for happy pups 🐾

I grew up with almost every pet imaginable, from turtles to birds to dogs to pigs and I loved every minute of it. Aside from caring for my own pets, I cared for a dog named Moe everyday throughout all of high school. I am a dog person all the way, but I can’t afford my own at this point and would love to add some more pups to my routine 🥰

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Before meeting the pup I will make sure to speak with you about their specific tendencies and personality. Some pups will bolt for the door at any chance they get while some need some coaxing outside. I am comfortable will all kinds of personalities, I just like to make sure I am prepared for each pup and their needs.

Sami made sure my pups were taken care of! She even went the extra mile to go to the vet to pick up meds for my pup who had diarrhea while I was out of town. Such a weight off my shoulders!

Samantha has the kind of warm energy that you want in a person taking care of your animals. I went away with my daughter for a weekend and I hate boarding my animals. Samantha came over and met us and I knew right away should be a good fit for my crew to house sit with them. She kept me posted on how they were doing, sent me lots of pictures, and brought in a package I had delivered unexpectedly- not to mention left my home in perfect condition. I will definitely use Samantha again. Could not recommend her enough!

Sam did a great job with our two dogs (one puppy), cat, and small flock of chickens. She gave lots of updates complete with pictures, and was very responsive. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone!

If you're looking for an energetic, animal-loving caretaker, I would recommend Sami! As her roommate and co-cat owner, I can ensure that she is a responsible animal loving girl. Who, fun fact, has owned about every animal you could think of! Whether you need someone to take your dog for long walks, cuddle with your cats, or ensure your small critters are well-tended, Sami will treat them as if they were her own, showering them with love, attention, and care!
