Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be available for pet care after 3 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekend, as well as most days in the summer! I regularly care for my own two family dogs and help out with my family friends’ pets, so dog walking and sitting naturally fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and enjoy spending my free time with animals.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. At a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is clean and secure. At my home, my pets get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a calm environment to relax in. I treat every pet like they’re my own!

Information Samantha W. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know if there are any health issues or medications your dog takes, what their feeding schedule is along with any diet restrictions, and if there are any specific fears or quirks they may have. My own dog is scared of a lot of things, so I am sensitive to dogs that may be more worrisome of the world!!

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged, happy, and active! I would plan activities based on their energy level and personality - anything from neighborhood walks or park adventures to playing fetch or even just snuggles and belly rubs if that’s more their speed!

Pet care experience

I’m a teacher so I am not available from 7am to 3pm on weekdays during the school year! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my first family dog. Currently, I help take care of our two dogs at home alongside my mom. In addition to my own pets, I also look after a few family friends’ dogs, giving me a variety of hands-on experience with different breeds and personalities, but especially pitbulls!

Sammy was absolutely a dream for my boy, Banks! Being a senior rescue he is very apprehensive with strangers and Sammy was so sweet to cut out time in her schedule before our booking to ensure Banks was comfortable around her. She kept me in the loop about his health and sent me the cutest video and picture updates! I know Banks is already looking forward to our next booking!

Samantha took good care of our cat and our backyard chickens while we were gone for a long weekend. Everybody seemed happy when we returned home. Would hire her again!
