I'm Sam | Cat Sitting in Brandon, FL

As a lifelong cat lover and owner of two cats, I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. I started cat sitting when I was just 13 and even ran my own pet sitting business for several years before transitioning into another career. With years of experience and a deep understanding of feline behavior, I know how to make cats fee...

Learn More About Sam

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! Nyx (Black Boy Cat) and Emberly (Orange Tabby Girl Cat). Nyx funny enough stands for the Greek Goddess of night-I named him that because I was told by the shelter when he was a kitten that he was a girl. The name stuck nonetheless 😆

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Look for someone who genuinely understands and respects cats’ unique personalities. Make sure the sitter takes the time to build trust with your cat and has experience handling a variety of feline temperaments. Ask about their routine for feeding, playtime, and care to ensure it aligns with your cat’s needs. It’s also important that the sitter communicates well, providing updates and being responsive if any issues arise.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

To ensure the safety and security of both the cats and the home while I’m cat sitting, I prioritize creating a calm, consistent environment. I make sure doors and windows are securely closed to prevent any escapes, and I’m mindful of any potential hazards around the house, like cords or plants. I follow any specific instructions from the owner closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and any medication routines. For added security, I maintain clear communication with the owner, sending regular updates and photos, so they’re always informed. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I contact the owner immediately to discuss the best course of action.

Sam watched my kitty while I was gone for the weekend and she did an amazing job! She connected immediately with my little love whom can be very shy at first! She was so friendly and willing to help with whatever we needed in order to make our time away from Claire manageable. We will definitely be using her in the future!

Sam was fantastic! I was a little nervous to leave the cats with a stranger - she made me feel so comfortable and took amazing care of them! One cat has special dietary needs which she was able to accommodate with no problems. She had great questions to make sure she knew everything about the house/cats, and gave great updates with photos. One of the cats is very shy, and Sam must be a kitty whisperer because she saw her at each of the visits, which is unheard of for strangers! We will definitely be using Sam again, and would definitely recommend her services!

Sam was awesome! As soon as she walked in, our usually shy cats, came right out. It made my wife and i feel very comfortable and confident having her watch our cats. Sam was friendly and honest and we will definitely be having her come back!

My cats are my family. I don’t trust them to just anyone. I do trust them completely in the hands of Sam. I travel for work a lot and Sam always steps up and takes care of the cats. I have never doubted the health and safety of the cats when she’s there. And she truly does spend time and loves them as well. They are happy when I come home but they clearly have a special bond with Sam as well.

Sam is one of the most dedicated and detail-oriented people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Her ability to listen, understand, and offer tailored solutions is incredible. I’ve seen firsthand how her passion and care translate into everything she does. Sam’s organization skills are unmatched, and her calm, thoughtful approach brings a sense of ease to even the most overwhelming things. I trust her integrity, reliability, and ability to tackle any task with both efficiency and empathy.
