Safety, trust & environment

My fiancé and I have owned three hamsters, as we can’t have other pets in our currently living situation, and they are extremely loved and well taken care of! I truly care about their health and comfort, and this is reflected in how well we care for them.

A typical day

I love engaging with dogs whether it be cuddling with them or just having fun doing activities. I live near a park with lots of open space so ensuring your dog maintains the level of activity they need to be healthy and happy will be easy!

Pet care experience

I am the biggest animal lover you’ll ever meet. Not only am I a reliable person you can count on to keep your pet safe, I will also love every minute spent with them. I’m a naturally cautious and detail-oriented person and I won’t take the responsibility of caring for your pet lightly!

Samantha was fantastic! She provided us with so much peace of mind knowing she was looking in on our two cars while we were away. She sent daily photos to let us know how they were doing. She was so patient with them, as they refused to come out of hiding while she was here. But she fed them, took care of the litter and brought in our packages, which was so helpful! I will definitely hire her again.

Samantha was great with my two cats! She gave thorough updates everyday and included lots of pictures! We knew our cats were in great hands with her. We will definitely be booking her again.

Samantha did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were traveling. One of them was very timid by nature and immediately went hiding as soon as Samantha started her visits. Samantha was determined to find him, and she successfully found his hiding place after searching every where for a few days. Samantha is very good at getting them comfortable with her. Samantha is very reliable and a quick learner with our Litter Robot 4. We appreciate Samantha's determination and all the TLC she gives to our 2 cats. We definitely will have Samantha take care of them again, and we highly recommend her.
