Pet care experience
I've owned dogs most of my life. I currently own 3 dogs (all cattle dogs/mixes) and 1 cat. Working with animals has always been my dream. I started working as a veterinary technician 5 years ago and knew I had found my passion. 3 years into me being a technician I also became a mother! While I loved being a technician, I’ve taken a step back to spend more time with family and work on my own business! I have been housesitting for 11 years and love meeting/caring for my clients pets. One of my policies is to treat every animal as if they’re my own. My experience ranges from young pups to elderly to special needs dogs/cats. I have experience with diabetic animals, chronic kidney disease (administering SQ fluids), bushings and much more! Please reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you.
Reviews
Samantha is amazing! She is always very dependable and my cat adores her!
Samantha is an amazing sitter! She sent along a lot of photos, took great care of Loki, went above and beyond by bringing in my packages, and informed me of an urgent maintenance issue. I definitely recommend booking with Samantha - her rates are also very affordable!

I do not bring outside pets into my home; however, I am more than willing to stay overnight and drop in throughout the day. I always ensure the pets are comfortable with me before scheduling. While I do have a child, I never bring him unless clients have specified previously that it is ok. If your pups aren’t good with kids, THAT’S OKAY. He doesn’t mind staying with his dad for a few days 😊
Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet
Is he/she aggressive towards people or other dogs? Eating habits? Important facts? Medications? What are the pets favorite activities and what is their energy level like? What are your pets specific needs?
A typical day
I love to play games with pups and go for long walks (as long as the pet can withstand it). When owner approved, I like to add hikes into our schedule as well! I’m big on mental stimulation for dogs seeing as I have 3 working breeds so if that is a requirement, it is not an issue. For cats, toys are helpful if your fur baby is active; however, if not and they like to sleep their days away, that is okay!

Availability
I’m currently a staying at home working towards entering veterinary school! My schedule is mainly free; however, there are errands I have to run during the week. Typically they do not take more than 2 hours but I do like to inform my clients I may be gone for up to 6 hours unless requested otherwise (preference must be given prior to booking to ensure no appointments are scheduled/prior obligations beforehand). I do sleep at my clients houses for overnight visits if they request and am available for multiple drop ins per day as well!
