Experienced Animal Lover 🐾❤️

Hi, I’m Samaria. Most people just call me Sam! Your pet deserves more than a sitter — they deserve a safe, loving haven while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs and routines. With experience in boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: peace of mind for you and a comfortable, happy experience for your fur baby.

Samaria took such good care of my dog, Ruger. She sent multiple photos and videos throughout each day and updated me throughout his entire stay! She was absolutely lovely to work with and I know Ruger loved her and her kids!

Sam is amazing! My Ty spent over a week with her and I got multiple photos and videos of him every day. She's super quick to respond to any messages, and was easy to coordinate with, even when I had to extend an extra night due to flight issues. And, based on the photos, she just let him take over her place. 😂 Ty was happy and tired when we picked him up. Would definitely use Sam's services again!

Samaria came at last minute 24 hour notice to walk my corgi and I truly appreciate her willingness, and care. My pup feels comfortable with her and we will be having her come back as long as she’s available. Thank you again.

Samaria was wonderful! She accepted my request last minute and we did a meet and greet prior to the booking of my corgi. I loved that she sends me pictures morning, afternoon and evening and messaged me back promptly just when I was missing my pup. I knew he was in good care! I think my dog matches a similar routine to Samaria so that really helped with his stay with her. She let my pup on her furniture and he was allowed to have his bed with him because I don’t crate my pup it was a great fit for him and my pup even wanted to go back inside her residence. We will be back again 🫶🏾 Thanks Samaria!

I highly recommend Samaria! She cared for my fur baby, Bentley, while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was kind, compassionate, and kept in touch with me throughout his stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. What stood out most was her level of care and dedication. Even while at work, she checked on Bentley through her camera, and she would come home on her breaks to walk him and make sure he was comfortable and cared for. It was evident that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. Knowing my fur baby was safe, loved, and well cared for allowed me to relax while I was away. I am so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.
