Pet care experience

Your family, my friends!

Hi there! I’m a Denver native who recently relocated to Nashville. I spent a few years growing up on my grandparents’ farm in eastern Colorado while still attending school in Denver. Because we had such a long commute each day, I learned early on what it meant to be responsible for animals who depended on me—I made sure they were cared for before sunrise and went straight to them for their evening care as soon as we got home. Living so far from school also meant I couldn’t always spend as much time with friends, so the animals truly became some of my best friends. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and chickens, which taught me just how different and delicate each animal can be, and how important consistent, attentive care is to their well-being. More recently, I’ve had the opportunity to care for my senior cat through kidney disease, which gave me an entirely new appreciation for the patience, attentiveness, and extra care that senior pets and animals with health needs require. Since then, I’ve welcomed two more cats of my own and regularly dog sit for friends and family. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same level of care and affection I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I always go above and beyond to provide the safest, most loving care possible. I treat every pet like my own, following their normal routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I'm attentive to details, communicate updates (with lots of pictures always of course!) and always keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment.

Sam has watched my dogs, Winnie and Tucker, for over 10 years, and we truly could not ask for a better dog sitter. She is so caring, responsible, reliable, and attentive with them, and we always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her care. She treats them like her own and genuinely goes above and beyond, even going out of her way to buy Winnie a new harness when she needed one! Winnie and Tucker absolutely love her, and we feel so lucky to have someone we trust this much with our dogs. I couldn’t recommend Sam more! 🐶❤️

Samantha is an incredibly kind and thoughtful pet caregiver. She has always taken great care of our two cats when we were out of town. She is extremely responsive, she follows instructions carefully, and she treats pets and plants with the most respect. You can rest assured that your fur babies will be well taken care of as your pet sitter! We wish more pet sitters were like Samantha!

Schedule

I currently work part time as a fitness instructor and my schedule is very consistent. I teach Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, so I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time during the day to care for your pets! I'm also an early riser, which is perfect for morning routines, walks, or drop-ins.
