About Samantha
Experience: 2 yrs
Providing a safe, consistent, and stimulating environment is the foundation of my pet care philosophy. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort and happiness above all else. With two years of experience, I am skilled at managing high-energy breeds through active play and outings, while also offering gentle support to senior pets and young animals. I maintain a clean, secure space and remain vigilant for any signs of distress. In emergencies, I stay calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and communicate immediately with owners. I hold certifications in Experience with young pets and Experience with senior pets. I find genuine joy in helping shy pets come out of their shells and witnessing their unique personalities. Whether providing boarding, daycare, or transportation, I am dedicated to ensuring your beloved companion feels loved and secure. I look forward to meeting your furry family member!

If you are looking for a trusted dog sitter/walker, then look no further - I cant reccomened Sammy enough! Sammy took care of my Dog, Koda, while I was away for 9 months. She didn’t just “watch” my dog — she truly loved and cared for him like he was her own. Throughout the entire time, she went above and beyond in every possible way. She made sure he was happy, healthy, exercised, comfortable, and constantly surrounded by love and attention. I could tell from every update, photo, and interaction that he was genuinely thriving in her care. She learned his personality, routines, and quirks, and treated him with so much patience and affection. What stood out most was the level of trust and peace of mind she gave me. Knowing my dog was safe, loved, and so well cared for allowed me to focus on what I needed to do without constantly worrying. When I got him back, it was obvious how bonded he had become with her, which says everything about the environment she created for him. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pets. She is reliable, compassionate, attentive, and clearly has a true love for animals. If you are looking for someone to trust with your pet, she is absolutely the person you want.
