Pet care experience

Puyallup/SouthHill Pet Sitter

Hi! I’m a recent college graduate with a finance degree who is currently available for full-time pet care, dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m based in South Hill and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes. I have two very active dogs of my own, a 125 lb Bernese Mountain Dog and a Mini Aussie, so I’m very comfortable handling large, high energy dogs as well as smaller breeds. My dogs are a huge part of my life and come everywhere with me. We hike regularly, travel often, have visited over 15 national parks together, and have even done two cross-country road trips. Whether your dog loves adventures, long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I can provide attentive and active care tailored to their personality and needs. I also have experience caring for cats, having owned one for many years until she recently passed away from old age. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like family.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care either in the client’s home or my own depending on what works best for the pet and their routine. In a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule closely, feeding, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and lots of attention, while keeping the home clean, secure, and respectful. If pets stay with me, they get a safe, structured environment with constant supervision, a fenced yard for exercise, and a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and at home.

Samantha was great! On the last day of our trip our rascal pups got all muddy in the yard and she helped clean them up and make sure our home wasnt too dirty when we got back. We didnt ask, she was just helpful and thoughtful without a word or hesitation. Awesome!

I like to get a quick overview of each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, leash behavior, medical needs, and any quirks like reactivity or separation anxiety before I watch them. I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels and can adapt easily to whatever care or structure they need.
