Highlights
Pet care experience
Adaptable and friendly help
One of the most stressful things when having a pet, is finding that perfect pet sitter for them when you need to leave the house. To fill their special needs, give them the love they deserve and not feel lonely while you are gone. I am lucky enough to have people around me to pet sit my dog and two birds when needed. I have returned the service to them multiple times. Either by welcoming their pets in my own home or going for a few visits to theirs. Now, it's time to help others! No pets are too needy for me. I sat with dogs that needed physical company to eat, I walked three excited dogs at the same time, given meds to grumpy cats and much more. Birds, cats, dogs, rats, ect. I am here and happy to help!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Samantha est la personne que je contacte pour prendre soins de mes deux chats agés. Ils ont une personnalité très différente et elle sait s'adapter à leurs besoins et respecte leur limite. Elle est fiable et responsable. J'apprécie comment elle prends le temps de s'assurer que tout va bien avec eux et je la recommande à tout le monde. Elle est habile avec plusieurs animaux et n'hésite pas à poser des questions pour valider qu'elle a bien compris les besoins spécifiques de chaque animal. Mes chats aiment bien sa compagnie et je sais qu'elle en prends soins lorsque je suis absente quelques jours.
Samantha est une personne fiable et à l'écoute des animaux. Elle fait partie des rares personnes à qui je fais confiance pour s'occuper de mes animaux (chat&chiens) lors de mes absences de courtes ou longues durée.
Samantha took real good care of my two dogs, even tho one of them is pretty difficult. She was able to help with walk, short term petsitting and even overnight petsitting. That's the basic, but Sam does way more than the basic! She provided them genuine love and care, for my dogs, she became part of the familly. You CANNOT go wrong with choosing her, she has experience with dogs, cats and birds from what I know, could be more and I wouldn't be surprised.

Schedule
I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which is great when welcoming others' pets for pet sitting. Also perfect if your pet needs a daily visit for medication or a walk in the middle of the day. I have a car and can easily adapt my schedule to fulfill those needs!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My strength is that I adapt to the animal's needs. Your cat is more of a loner and needs space? I will provide that for them. Your dog needs a lot of pets and someone to burn that extra energy? I can certainly do that. Your bird is shy and only needs to have their food and water refreshed? I can also do that. My own dog enjoys company but to have his own space, which I respect. I let him come to me for cuddles on his own terms. On the opposite side, I have a lovebird that constantly wants cuddles and to be as close as possible. Which, again, I happily provide when he has his out of cage time. We have a new addition of a small and very shy Budgie to the family. Again, I let her come out of her shell at her own pace by giving her space and never forcing anything onto her. Whatever the animal is my own pet or someone else's I always adapt to the animal's personality. Which is probably why many animals love my company.
A typical day
Long walks are a house favorite. Even though my dog is getting old, he still loves to strut around the neighborhood and pick up all the new smells. He is usually content with that but we can easily adapt to high energy dogs. There are multiple places to let dogs run around and spend that extra energy! Either with fetching games, training practice and much more.

- Don't be shy in letting me know all of your pet's pet peeves and such. I know how each come with their own unique personalities and can easily adapt if warned in advance. Such as: special needs when eating, avoiding others dogs when walking, avoid contact when feeding a cat, ect.
