I'm am a college student, but your pet will have my full attention outside of class hours! Whenever I'm pet sitting, your pet becomes embedded into my daily routine, and oftentimes they'll also tag along for car rides.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to follow the owner's care instructions exactly; however, it really depends on the pet. If your pet is more on the chill side and wants to nap, I'll chill with them. If they want to play and need a lot of enrichment time, then enrichment time we shall! I always strive to leave a place the same, if not better, as I found it, so in a client's home, that motto still applies.

Pet care experience

I've grown up around all types of animals--from cats and dogs to birds and turtles. In fact. I think that is what inspired me to pursue a career in animal science. From the ripe age of 8, I have been my family and friends' trusted pet sitter (mostly dogs and cats) and would love to be your pet sitter as well.

Samaria is the best!! My dog is very hesitant and scared when it comes to trusting and meeting new people. Samaria made sure to take her time to earn Archie’s trust. With the amount of time and patients each day Archie became really comfortable with her and I will forever be thankful to her for that. She gave daily check ins, updates, and pictures of Archie that I am so appreciative of. I will definitely book her again for a pet sitting appointment. She’s amazing!

I’ve had the privilege of watching Samaria care for animals from a very young age, and it has always come naturally to her. Since she was about five years old, she has helped care for our own pets with a level of responsibility, patience, and love that truly stands out. Over the years, I’ve seen her take initiative in caring for animals, from feeding and walking to making sure they feel comfortable and safe. By the time she was eight, family and friends trusted her to pet sit, and she has consistently proven herself to be dependable and attentive with every pet she cares for. What impresses me most is how seriously she takes the responsibility—she treats every animal as if it were her own. I can confidently say that any pet in her care will be loved, well looked after, and in very capable hands.
