I will care for yours as my own

Pet care experience

I have had pets all of my life. I was a pet sitter in college for several families. I also worked at a doggy daycare & boarding facility where I fed, bathed, administered medications, let outside, and worked with owners to provide the best care possible.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe, whether we’re at home, on a walk, or just hanging out. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your pet’s routine and your home. I’ve also worked as a nanny and personal care assistant, so I understand the importance of trust, attention to detail, and creating a peaceful environment. Whether your pet needs structured care or just a cozy cuddle buddy, I’ve got it covered!

Information Samantha Z. would like to know about your pet

Before I care for your pet, I’d love to know a few things to help make our time together safe and smooth: • Your pet’s daily routine (meals, potty breaks, walks, etc.) • Any health conditions, medications, or allergies • How they are around other pets, people, or new environments • Favorite toys, games, or calming strategies • Any behavior quirks or triggers (e.g. leash pulling, anxiety, door dashing) • What comforts them when they’re feeling nervous or missing you The more you share, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet feeling safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged! Depending on your pet’s needs and personality, here are some of the fun things we might do: • Walks with plenty of sniff breaks and exploring new scents • Playtime with toys, fetch, or tug-of-war (their choice!) • Enrichment games to keep their mind busy (like puzzle feeders or hide-and-seek with treats) • Lots of cuddles and quality chill time if your pet prefers low-key vibes • Safe backyard time or sunbathing for pets who love the outdoors • Fun photo updates so you can see their tail-wagging adventures while you’re away Whether your pet is a playful pup or a laid-back lounger, I’ll tailor our time together to what makes them feel happiest and most at home.
