About Us

Sam Antiuk is the owner of Whiskered Pals Pet Care. It was her love for animals that prompted her to start this rewarding opportunity. From a very young age, Sam was used to having animals around. Her first pet was a hamster named Skippy, which she took responsibility for his care, at the age of three. Along with the two adopted dogs she grew up with (a Rottweiler/Mastiff/Labrador Mix, and a Rottweiler), she rescued a mouse, a kitten, two birds, and two dogs – all which either became additions to the family, were nurtured back to health and released into their natural setting, or were placed with a loving family that she personally approved.

Sam has extensive experience with the daily, overnight and weekly care of animals. With respect and understanding, she has successfully cared for dogs ranging from 10 lbs. – 110 lbs., with all types of temperaments, and cats too. She was employed with Kessler Kennels in Granby, throughout high school. Responsibilities included overall care of boarded pets, and the ones that came by for Doggie Daycare. Samantha also has experience with the daily care of horses. Her love for them, is what motivated her to clean stables in trade for riding lessons.

Jeremy enjoys being outdoors and helps out with over-flow petsitting care.  He will do overnights, daily dog walking and cat care.
Jeremy's favorite breed is a yellow lab, he had one for his entire childhood and into his adult years.  He understands that a pet is not just a dog or cat but is part of the family, and cares for each pet as his own.

 Hi i'm Lauren, I've been working with dogs  for the past 8 years. I worked at a dog kennel for a couple of years and realized how much I love working with animals. I've been with Sam at WPPCS  for the past 6 years. I do overnights, daily walks and let outs. I feel comfortable working with the bully breeds and large dogs. I had a pit-bull and know how loving they can be, but that they are also misjudged. I also have a lot of experience with caring for horses and cleaning stables. I will take great care of your pets, I will treat them like the family that they are. 

 Alyssa  currently does daily walks or let outs, cat and reptile care.  I grew up in a house full of animals from cats and dogs to lizards, mice, guinea pigs etc. I know that a pet is part of the family and I will treat them as such. I specialize in elderly pet care. I had cared for my 15 year old pug who needed special care and medication on a regular basis. I also worked at a dog kennel/daycare for about a year. The kennel was a good learning experience as  I learned about  different dog breeds and temperaments. I consider myself an animal lover, I have a calm aura and animals always  feel comfortable meeting  and around me.
