Highlights
Pet care experience
No pet too big or small! 🐾
Hi! My name is Sammi and I’d love to take care of your pet 🦮🐈⬛. I have always had a passion for spending time with and taking care of animals. I dreamt of being a veterinarian for many years, which led me to work or volunteer with animals in a variety of settings. I have been taking care of my own pets since I was 12, and I have 3 years of professional animal care experience. Previously, I volunteered at a working dog training center and at a cat rescue. I also worked as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital. As a pet-sitter/caregiver, I’m patient and attentive to your furry friend’s needs. Whether your pet is a bundle of energy or shy and reserved, I respect their boundaries and meet them where they’re at! Please note that for boarding requests, my apartment only allows me to board dogs up to 30 lbs. Feel free to contact me to find out if I’d be a good fit for you and your pet! 😊🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Samantha did an amazing job with coordinating and communication. Appa really enjoyed his time with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Sammi has watched my cat Cleo several times, and every time she has taken such good care of her! My cat is high needs given she is blind, but I never worry at all when she is with Sammi! Sammi loves pets and treats each visiting animal like her own! She is a kind, reliable, and trustworthy sitter who I would recommend to everyone! Sammi also sent me the cutest pictures of Cleo when I was away, which was very fun to see.
Samantha is an exceptionally reliable and trustworthy person, as well as pet caregiver. She has the ability to show diligence and care for all animals. Samantha cares for pets as if they were her own, and always is attuned to their needs.
I would trust Samantha with my fur babies any day. She is caring and attentive with my cats and dog- Not to mention punctual! Her experience working in a vet clinic lets me feel at ease knowing my pets are under her care. If you are looking for a trustworthy dog walker/pet sitter, I would highly recommend Samantha!
Samantha is a wonderful and caring pet sitter and dog walker. She is responsible and reliable and a kind and caring person. We have loved having her as have our pets. You cannot go wrong with Samantha!

Schedule
I am a graduate student and I typically have on-campus responsibilities Monday-Friday (not always lasting the full day). I am about a 15 minute walk from campus, so I can stop home between classes and meetings for walks and drop-ins (including for pets I board in my home). I am best suited to board and house-sit for dogs that require potty breaks every 4-8 hours. I am only available for house-sitting on Fridays-Mondays. For the Fall 2026 semester, I have evening classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and will arrive home around 8 PM. I am able to let boarding dogs out for potty breaks in the late afternoon (around 3:30-5) before my class starts, though!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m happy to help with any special pet care needs, such as feeding special diets or grooming. Because I have experience working in an animal hospital, I can also help with administering some medications. I have experience with shy cats, dogs reactive to people or other animals, high-energy dogs, and other pet personalities. When pet-sitting or doing drop-ins, I also make sure to follow any rules or guidelines you have for your home. I’m happy to discuss how I can meet your pet’s needs.
A typical day
I love to take long walks and explore my beautiful corner of the Fan district! I am also happy to cuddle and rest with lower energy dogs.
