Booked by 1 family in San Carlos, CA

Hi! My name is Sam, and I am a recent college grad looking for some supplemental income while entering the job market. I am great with pets, and have been taking care of my own cat Lou for many years. I have pet-sat for friends and clients for over 4 years, and have experience taking care of pets with medications and other medical needs. With my own cat, I know how important it is to find a flexible and trustworthy petsitter! I am happy to walk dogs, spend time with pets during the day, and feed and care for pets while you are away. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to visit your pet during the day or schedule over-night stays during the week or weekend. I happy to adapt to whatever quirks and emotional or physical needs your pet has! If there are any medical needs or personality issues to be aware of, I would love to organize a visit ahead of time to get to know the pet and their home. I am also happy to do other small things around the house as needed, like watering plants or bringing in packages.

“Samantha has taken phenomenal care of my puppy the past few months. She is responsible and respectful and has been a great communicator.”

I am fully capable of working independently, while also comfortable collaborating with parents who work from home. My goal is always to create a supportive, peaceful environment where both children and parents feel at ease. I value consistency, reliability, and long-term commitment. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent children and adapt easily to each family’s unique needs.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
