I’m available at different times on different days, which allows me to fit pet care naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or spending quality time with your pets, I’m happy to work around their needs!

Loving Care When You’re Not There

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved animals and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I recently cared for my own pup throughout her 13 wonderful years of life, which taught me how important patience, love, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I also help care for my brother’s dogs a Golden Retriever/Lab mix and two Dachshunds so I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds. Being from Monterey County, I love staying active and going on walks and hikes, so your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care with me!

There’s only a few people who I would trust with the care of my fur baby. Sam is very sweet and ensures my Kiki is well taken care of. She enjoys her walks and treats as well as the company. She’s grown very fond of Sam and I appreciate her so much. Life can get busy as a full time mom/ pet owner and so knowing your pets are in good hands makes you have the peace of mind you very much need when working a hectic work schedule. She’s close by our home which is also quite convenient, give her a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Sam is incredible with dogs! It’s like she has a secret language with them, they absolutely love her. She has cared for her beloved dogs Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn for their entire lives and I’ve never seen anybody have so much love for their pets. Honestly, they were more like family for her, an extension. I would wholeheartedly trust Sam for your pets care! You won’t find someone else more honest and responsible.

Walking a Belgian Malinois and a golden retriever is no easy task but Samantha handled both of them perfectly and we love using her! She genuinely loves these guys and are always so excited when its their walking time!
