Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate, Reliable, Pawsitive!
What makes me different from other sitters is my genuine dedication to giving each pet the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I make it my priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure, play, and basic training reinforcement, to senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication reminders, and a slower pace. I’m also attentive to behavioral cues and can adapt easily to each pet’s comfort level, whether they’re shy, social, or somewhere in between. Above all, I treat every pet like family. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry friend is being cared for with genuine love and professionalism.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Because my daughter is highly allergic (to cats and dogs, not just fur, but also their saliva), I don’t have pets in my own home; but that’s exactly why I love caring for other people’s pets so much! When I’m with your furry family member, they get my full attention, care, and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and take extra time to understand their habits and comfort zones. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep a close eye on their behavior to ensure they’re safe and happy. My goal is to build trust with both pets and pet parents by being dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. You can always count on me to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Amazing sitter with an amazing family to support! I was off island for 3 weeks and Samantha never failed to send me photos of my dog and 3 cats daily. She was extremely attentive to them and their needs and was even flexible when one of the cats got an eye infection and had to go to the vet. She was impressively skilled at handling my 120-lb reactive dog on walks and was able to get him out in the neighborhood 3x/week, just like I asked, with no issues! Will definitely be working with her again :)
I have two small dogs that bark at everything, don't trust strangers, and require very specific care. For those reasons, I have to be very careful about who I trust my dogs with. Samantha was incredible to work with, she was just as patient with me as she was with my girls. She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs not only got their practical needs met (food, water, walks), she also gave them each personal time, love, and attention. They played and cuddled with her and I have never felt so safe knowing they were in such good hands. Even from a logistical standpoint, she communicated openly and proactively ahead of time, and was willing to go out of her way to accommodate my schedule, which was a big help. She is my #1 recommendation to care for your pets!
Samantha walked my Cocker Spaniel daily. She is very reliable, has great communication skills and is friendly. My dog loved her. I highly recommend Samantha.
Having worked with Samantha, I can confidently attest to her exceptional professionalism and character. Her remarkable work ethic, coupled with her caring and intelligent nature, made her an invaluable asset. When I asked her to care for my senior dog, she accepted without hesitation, providing me with regular updates and photographs to ensure I was informed about my dog's well-being. The hsatisfaction and comfort my dog exhibited upon my return were a testament to Samantha's exceptional care. I would highly recommend her for any pet care needs, as she and her family consistently demonstrate exceptional qualities and a deep commitment to providing outstanding care.

Schedule
I currently work full-time; M-F 0630-1500, but I am very flexible and can come before that time, after that time, and anytime on the weekends. If you live near my place of work, I also don't mind coming on/during my lunch time as well to help out!
