Availability
Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently work at a doggie daycare five days a week—Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 1 to 7 PM—where I care for a large number of dogs and manage their needs. Before or after work, I’m available to walk dogs, do drop-in visits, play with them, feed them, or simply let them out for a break. At home, I have three dogs of my own, and their care is part of my everyday life. I make sure they’re walked, fed breakfast and dinner, and given lots of attention—whether that’s playing fetch with the energetic one or snuggling with the others. Pet care isn’t just a job for me; it’s a lifestyle I’m fully committed to.

About Samantha V.

Safety, trust & environment
I don’t offer pet boarding in my home because one of my dogs is older and prefers a quiet, familiar environment without other animals or new people. Instead, I provide care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions to make sure your pet’s routine is kept as normal as possible. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company, I’ll take care of it with attention and care. I also have reliable transportation, so getting to and from your home is never an issue.
Information Samantha V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if the dog or dogs need special medication and if they need to be fed, their schedule and directions. I will follow all directions in order to keep your dog happy and healthy!!
A typical day
When I care for pets, I like to tailor activities to what each dog enjoys most. I can take them on walks, play fetch, snuggle with them, or simply spend quality time giving them attention and love. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adjust to their preferences and energy levels. If you have specific activities you’d like me to do with your dog, I’ll gladly follow your requests to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience
What sets me apart from others is my hands-on experience and deep dedication to animal care. I work at a doggie daycare where I care for up to 45 dogs at a time, both big and small. My responsibilities include supervising them indoors and outdoors, ensuring they get plenty of playtime and fresh air, tending to their daily needs like feeding, watering, and administering medication when necessary, and even managing their individual schedules. I also take photos of the dogs for social media, capturing their personalities and moments throughout the day. Outside of work, I care for my own dogs—Paco, Bella, and Hedwig, as well as regularly petsit my sister’s senior Miniature Pinscher, Roman. My life revolves around dogs, and I treat each one with the love and attention I give my own pets.
Reviews
It was great to meet Sammi, and we were very pleased with her visits to our home. She was helpful, polite, and she cared for our dog very well. Excellent communication and fast replies to all our inquiries. I would definitely hire her again.
Samantha took care of my dog Frankie for a week while we were on vacation out of the country and I couldn’t be happier. She is so caring, so communicative and such a natural. I had complete confidence in her and knew as soon as she met my dog that there was a connection, thank you Samantha!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great experience with our pet sitter, Sammy. This was our second time using her, and once again she did a wonderful job. She came twice a day to feed our three dogs—Halo, Cookie, and Mindy—and took great care of them. It’s such a relief knowing our pets are in good hands. We’re very happy with her service and will definitely continue using her in the future!
Samatha really helped us in a last minute need! She was communicative, prompt, and thorough. Unfortunately our Bonnie had an accident in her excitement to meet her new friend and she was kind enough to clean it up while we were out too. Will definitely use Samantha to help out with Bonnie anytime we need!
