Pet care experience

Compassionate lover of all animals

I grew up on a small family farm with dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, goats, and rabbits so I fell in love with animals and caring for them at a young age. It was common for my family to rescue stray cats and other critters and nurse them back to health, animals were always at the forefront of my life growing up. I used to house sit for neighbors with horses, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, and rabbits as well. When I went off to college in 2015 I knew I needed a furry companion so that's when I decided to adopt my dog Gunner. He is a Bichon Frise-Chihuahua mix and currently 8 years old, he loves attention and still has a lot of energy so I make time with him a priority. In 2018 after hurricane Michael hit Panama City, FL my family found an abandoned litter of kittens so we took them in until we found them other homes. I ended up falling for one of the kittens so I kept him and named him Leo. He is 5.5 years old now and an extremely loving and curious cat. He loves to snuggle and explore. Last year my husband and I adopted a kitten we named Loki because he was full of mischief! He’s a playful ball of floof that keeps us all entertained. I am currently working remotely from my home the majority of the time so I am available to watch and care for my animals as well others. I usually go on at least one walk a day around my neighborhood. My neighborhood is great for dog walking and there is a puppy park. My animals are friendly with other cats and dogs and love the company of other animals to play with.

Safety, trust & environment

For check-in visits and dog walking my priority is that your fur baby is able to go potty and that they have water and/or food available to them. I also make sure they get some love and attention to meet their needs.

Great job with Oscar. I know he was taken care of when I returned home from being gone all day and he didn't need me! Thank you so much!!

This is the third time leaving Toby with Samantha. She is the only non-family member I feel comfortable leaving him with and I know he's comfortable staying with her too.
