Loving petsitter for any pet!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Samara and I am a HUGE animal lover. I’ve been taking care of and been around sorts of animals since I was 13. From farm animals (chickens, goats, horses) to household pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and fish. I have experience with many different breads as well as ages of animals. I am comfortable taking care of animals that need medications as well as I have cared for diabetic animals that need injections, seizure medication and eye meds. With my extensive background and love for animals I ensure I am always extremely attentive to their needs and behaviors. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and any pet I care for, I treat it like my own. There is nothing more special than are furbabies and I want you to know that I will give them 110% care each and every time I care for them!

I do not have enough FABULOUS things to say about Samara, and cannot recommend her enough. Unfortunately, it is rare to find someone who you can trust with your pets, that is reliable and dependable. Samara is all of these qualities (reliable, dependable) and more! She saved me in a bind, was amazing with my two dogs, was beyond amazing with communication, sent pictures, tried to be flexible, was friendly, and so much more. I am very grateful that I was able to have peace of mind, know my pups were in good hands with her. Moving forward, she will be my first call every time I need someone for my dogs.

Samara has helped us during our summer vacations over three summers and she's been nothing but wonderful. She fed our three cats and administered pills and asthma inhaler to our oldest kitty. She is also a great communicator and sends a ton of pictures and updates. It's really unfortunate that she doesn't live in MA anymore because we'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

We have known Samara for years and can't say enough good things about her. She is dependable, animals love her, and she has a great head on her shoulders and sense of animal care. She has watched our beloved doodle, cat, rabbit, fish, frogs and even hermit crabs, and is even capable with horses. I would recommend Samara without any hesitation.

Samara has petsit for my dogs for many years and we couldn’t love her more! She is incredible with the dogs - attentive, loving, able to read their needs and responds with tenderness. She is also amazingly responsible with our home. We always come back to a perfectly clean and safe house - plants watered, packages brought in, etc. She is highly responsive via text and sends pics/updates throughout to let us know our pups are safe and happy. You couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

A lot of our door time is always great, off leash and the ability to be free and sniff around. I always keep and eye on the pets to make sure everyone is acting appropriately and behaving. I will send videos and pictures and make sure you are always kept in the loop on your pets status. I am also a very active person so enjoy going for walks and runs!

Information Samara O. would like to know about your pet

Definitely want to know about any medical issues the pet may have and if they need any sort of medication. Allergies is always important to know. I would like to understand how they are with other animals so I can ensure if/when we encounter one I handle everything properly. Also would love to know if your pet has any favorite things - favorite toy, likes to swim, goes running etc!

A typical day

Love playing fetch with the pups I take care of! I am big into nature so going on outdoor walks is always a great adventure. I prefer to not take the pets to pet parks just incase there is another animal that isn’t well behaved, I would never want something to happen to your animal. If you would like me to do this however, I am happy to do so with your consent. Breweries are always fun as well since more have outdoor areas and welcome pets.

I am a morning person and work from home. I have 1 young cat (who basically acts like a dog) in my home. Always make sure there are fresh, clean and filled water bowls! Sometimes on the weekend I will take them to a walking trail or dog park. I always ensure my pets are taken care of first and since I work from home it really allows me to cater my schedule around their needs. Comfort is the most important part!
