Highlights
Pet care experience
Intuitive, Loving, Fur Baby Care
I've been caring for pets for the past 20+ years—and the last 8 years specifically through Rover! From purebreds to rescue pups, and from mellow companions to high-energy adventurers, I'll care for your fur-baby as I would my own; with love, affection, and intentional care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to care for each pet's unique characteristics and needs. Whether they thrive on full-time companionship, extra outdoor time, etc., I'm happy to accommodate! For pups that stay with me— my home is calm, peaceful, and low-stress. Many dog parents joke that they're dropping their pup off for a little "zen retreat," and I greatly value creating an environment where dogs can truly relax and feel at home. I love getting outside, am detail-oriented, and committed to following your dog's routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

Ratings and reviews
Samantha is such a wonderful person! She made our dog feel so comfortable and loved. Our dog usually takes some time to warm up to other people, but she seemed to be very happy right away with Samantha. Samantha has a calm energy and seems very caring. Samantha was great sharing updates and photo’s with us while she cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again when we are heading out of town. Thank you again for taking such excellent care of our girl!
We love Samantha! It is always nerve wracking leaving your pup with someone new, and our dog can be shy and nervous around new people but he warmed to her immediately, and after meeting Samantha we felt more than comfortable with her staying at our home to look after him. She sent us lots of updates and photos and went out of her way to ensure he was looked after. And our house was left spotless when she left. She will be our #1 dog sitter going forward.
She’s the best! Literally. 🥰👏🏻
Samantha did a fantastic job watching my high energy dog for the weekend. It was my first time ever having a stranger watch my dog but I was immediately put to ease when I met Samantha. She sent me the cutest pictures of my dog looking happier than ever while I was away which made being apart from him that much easier! Will definitely have Samantha watch him again next time I have to go out of town 🤗
Sami was great with Leo! Sent me photos every day and kept me updated on how he was doing, especially in the beginning when he sometimes doesn't eat. I will definitely contact her in the future!
Samantha was wonderful. It was her first time with our dogs so we were a little nervous, however in a very short amount of time Samantha made that all that go away! She was with our dogs 4 nights in our home and everything went smooth as silk. Samantha is a very sweet and responsible person and took loving care our 12 year old pups and our home, we highly recommend Samantha!!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule, allowing me to be home for much of the day and provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and a consistent routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of love, exercise, and one-on-one attention while following any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for your pet.
A typical day
I'm happy to go on walks around my neighborhood as often as needed, and even to local coffee shops if your pup enjoys being petted by other people! *I generally avoid interactions with other dogs due to the unknown of how another dog may react.
