Pet care experience

Your Pet's Best Friend While Away

Grew up working daily on a family ranch surrounded by large and small animals here in New Mexico. Handled daily feeding, watering, and turnout for horses, cattle, goats, and sheep. Cleaned stalls, mucked barns, and maintained secure pasture fencing. Specialized animal care administered oral medications, daily supplements, and basic wound care. Handled horse grooming, hoof picking, and basic leading or haltering. Monitored herd behavior to spot signs of illness, lameness, or distress early. Safety and preparedness maintained calm behavior during stormy weather, loose livestock, or medical emergencies. I’m comfortable working around heavy equipment, tractors, and busy farm environments. Kept detailed daily logs of feed amounts, behavior changes, and emergency contacts.

Sam was a wonderful Dog Sitter for our fur baby Duke. She sent lots of pictures and videos and was very communicative. She also left the house very clean.

Excellent sitter! Very attentive to our boys and even brought extra toys for our kitty to enjoy. Will hopefully book again. If anyone is looking for a sitter for multiple pets, Samuela is amazing.

Samuela has been my friend for 6 years and I met her dog the first time I met her. I know her as a loving pet owner and reliable person. I would trust her to care for my home and pets if ever I travelled. I think she will be an excellent addition to your team.

I have had Samuela care for my cat Atreyu on several occasions while I was away on the road. She has always gone above and beyond to ask if there was anything special that needed to be done during her visit. My cat absolutely adores her.
