Samantha (Sam) is amazing!!! I've known her for over six years, and she's an all-around wonderful person and pet sitter—mature, reliable, responsible, and fun! Sam has always done an excellent job caring for our former dog Chef and our cats, and they've all loved her. She is a great communicator, asks thoughtful questions to ensure she understands each pet's needs, and checks in regularly during longer pet sits. She's also excellent at recognizing and adapting to different dog and cat personalities and behaviors. Our dog Chef was incredibly sweet but also extremely anxious, and Sam did a great job keeping him calm and happy through walks and enrichment activities. Sam also handles unexpected and stressful situations exceptionally well, as she demonstrated when Chef had a sudden health crisis while she was caring for him during a multiple-day trip I took out of town. Since I was across the country and couldn't return home right away, Sam took Chef to the vet hospital and stayed with him during all of his testing, communicating with me regularly about what was happening and helping me think through decisions about his treatment. It was really hard not to be with my fur baby when he was sick, and I was so grateful to have someone I could trust to stay with him until I could get home! Finally, Sam is an excellent pet mom to her own five dogs and three cats. She is always focused on their well-being, ensuring that they are all happy and healthy. She makes sure the dogs get lots of exercise, and she is always coming up with fun, creative enrichment activities for them. I strongly recommend her for dog walks and pet sits. You and your pets will be in great hands with Sam!

Samantha is incredibly responsible, dependable, and caring with animals. She is someone I completely trust to provide attentive, loving care and to treat every pet like her own. She’s patient, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can feel confident leaving their pets with.
