If I am at your house I will care for them as per your instructions, take them for walks, and have lots of play time!

Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how well they get along with other dogs and people. This is important so I know if I need to be cautious when first approaching without the owner present as well as if I need to keep them from other dogs we may encounter.

A typical day

We will get out and go for long walks around the neighborhood, play with toys, or just hang out if that is more their vibe!

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for animals of all sizes and personalities and would love the opportunity to care for your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members. Since I’m home full-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and plenty of attention. I have three dogs of my own—Stella, a Husky mix, along with Bear and Cali—so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and messages as often as you’d like, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. No matter their size, age, or species, I’ll always provide the best care possible with patience, compassion, and attention to their individual needs.

Samantha did a wonderful job caring for our 3 cats while we were on vacation! She even kept our escape artist cat from getting out. I would definitely hire her again!

Samantha has done a great job with my puppy, even taking her for walks! She sends cute photos after every visit. Will continue to use Samantha for sure!
