History

Established in 2012.

The 11^th Essential grew from the recognition of a pattern in my life: a connection with animals has always been a common, centering denominator. Developing that, and sharing it with others, is my goal. The 11^th Essential uses an intuition-​based approach which maintains and strengthens the unique bond you have with your animals — whether you are near or far. We provide simple, high-​quality services in a manner which decreases the policies and increases the pampering.

Samantha W.

Business Owner

Through The 11^th Essential, Samantha shares decades of animal care and training experience — all framed within a solid work ethic of reliability, attention and safety. She is a bonded and insured pet sitter, holds certifications in first aid and CPR (dog, cat and human) and is trained in trauma intervention. Her volunteer efforts include: Forward Stride (as a horse therapy key volunteer), The Oregon Food Bank, Indigo Rescue (as a dog foster parent), NWCWC (as a horse trainer), Metro (as a pioneer cemetery site steward) and she is co-​chair of her neighborhood association. When she is not working or volunteering, Samantha finds time to read, hike, backpack, bicycle and chip away editing her photographs.
