As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to devote to your pet’s care. I attend only one in-person class for 50 minutes twice a week, with the rest of my classes being online and remote. This allows me to be home for most of the day, ensuring your pet gets the attention and care they need. I'm also an active person and make it a priority to get outside for walks every day, so I’m always happy to take your dog for a stroll or play with your pet in the yard. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, pet care easily fits into my daily routine!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or yours, your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priorities. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment with secure spaces for your pet to explore and relax. I keep hazards like toxic plants, choking risks, and dangerous chemicals out of reach.

If I’m caring for your pet in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine and environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure.

Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care for your pet, I believe in open communication and understanding their individual needs. Before sitting, it’s helpful to know any special routines, preferences, or habits your pet has. This includes feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and any favorite toys or activities. I also like to know about their temperament—whether they’re shy or outgoing, playful or more relaxed—so I can cater to their personality and make them feel comfortable. If your pet has any medical needs, such as medication schedules or allergies, I’ll ensure everything is followed precisely. Additionally, if there are any behavioral quirks (like anxiety during storms or specific fears), I’ll take the necessary steps to help them feel secure. The more details you can provide, the better I can tailor my care to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away!

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is full of fun, attention, and plenty of activity! I start the day by greeting your pet with lots of love and enthusiasm, whether it’s a playful pup or a calm kitty. Depending on your pet’s routine, we’ll start with a walk, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so I make sure to take your dog on a daily walk or run to get their energy out, and if they love fetch or playing in the yard, we’ll make that part of our routine. For cats, I offer interactive play with toys to keep them mentally stimulated, or simply give them some quiet time with pets and affection. Throughout the day, I provide meals, fresh water, and any special care your pet needs, whether it's administering medications or following a specific schedule. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, engaged, and well cared for from start to finish!

Loving Care for Dogs & Cats of All

Pet care experience

Growing up with a variety of dogs and cats, I’ve always had a hands-on approach to caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience in everything from basic care and grooming to managing special needs for both puppies and senior pets. What really sets me apart as a sitter is my background in dog training—while raising puppies of my own, I completed training courses to ensure they developed good behavior and essential skills. Whether it’s reinforcing commands, managing energy levels, or providing gentle care for older pets with unique needs, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s personality and requirements. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your pets can thrive while you’re away!

Samantha took very good care of our home and our puppy. This was a first time to leave our 6 month old but it all came together nicely.

Samantha did a great job communicating and giving updates on Toby and Daisy. She was willing to be flexible when I had an unexpected change in pick up times. Great to work with!
