Pet care experience

Just a girl who loves animals ❤️

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I currently have a young dachshund of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, training basics, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I treat every pet in my care like family and always prioritize their comfort and safety.

Samantha has watched Mack twice now and did a great job keeping us in the loop, making sure he took his daily meds and most importantly making sure he had a good time! He is very high energy and a handful to watch but no complaints here, will be bringing Mack back next time.

Samantha does so well with Willow and has truly made me less stressed being at work. She’s attentive and communicates well as well as takes pictures for me! Highly recommend her if you need someone for your doggo. 🫶🏼

Samantha is absolutely amazing! From the moment that we met I felt completely comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. During her stay she was attentive, communicative, and professional. She kept me updated with messages and photos and made sure to keep me in the loop with any questions she had. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter for their pet.

Samantha was great with our two dogs! She is super attentive and flexible. Even our more standoffish dog loved her! Will definitely be a repeat customer.

Schedule

I am a military spouse who works from home so pet care fits easily into my daily routine and allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and playtime without long periods of alone time. I also offer home check-ins for pets who are more comfortable staying in their own space. My schedule is flexible, which helps me adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routine.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and routines as closely as possible to help them feel at home. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect their space and keep their pet’s routine consistent with what they are used to. I provide reliable home check-ins that include feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention while keeping the home clean and secure.

Pets

A typical day

Typical day includes three walks and lots of play time in between. My dachshund loves to sniff and explore so we spend at least 30 minutes a day walking and 30 minutes a day supervised backyard time. She loves to play fetch each day and we often find her taking an afternoon nap.
