Highlights
Pet care experience
Let’s talk pets.
I’ve always wanted pets since I was a kid. When I was 10 I got my first dog, a Saint Bernard named Barry. I’ve been nuts about dogs ever since. That grew into a love for all animals, and I have owned horses, cats and dogs over the last 20 years. 10 years ago I accepted a job at an equestrian facility. That opened the door to my first ever pet sit and since then I’ve worked all over the area. I took a break for awhile, due to my schedule becoming to full with other commitments, now I’m back ready to accept some new clients. Obviously our pets are a huge part of our lives. I do not take that responsibility lightly. When I come into a home I bring my heart and passion to the job to make sure the animals under my care feel comfortable, safe and as smoothly adjusted as they can be to someone new in their environment. I have worked with pretty much every dog you can think of. Rescues with timid personalities, small pups and giant breeds. I look forward to the conversations to be had here and the new pets that I will meet.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I spend a great deal of time in my clients homes with their pets. However I am not typically there 24/7. I may go out for part of a day or evening. When I do, I make sure the pets are fully cared for, have had exercise time and are well situated if I will be stepping out.
Ratings and reviews
Charlie is always happy when Samantha comes by to sit. She always thinks of Charlie first and his special needs. With the storms and fireworks, she kept him calm. Thank you for your hard work.
Samantha did a great job watching Charlie. Charlie is a special needs senior dog and Samantha did an excellent job of making him feel comfortable. We will not hesitate to use her again to watch Charlie.
My pups took to Samantha immediately upon meeting her! Given that one of them can be real standoffish with people, we were shocked! Both of them sensed that she truly was a dog person and immediately bonded with her. She's mature and reliable and kept up wonderful communication with us throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind seeing them. So happy in the pictures and knowing that they were being loved. Highly recommend she will be our first person we go to for future bookings.
