Just out here living my dream job
Pet care experience
I grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey with a rescue Maltese named Coquette. Now I’m in my own studio apartment in Manhattan without my own dog (yet) and am on this app because I simply love dogs but am not ready for the full commitment just yet. I have all the love in the world to share with your dog and I will protect them as if they were my own. I’m adamant about following any specific instructions you may have regarding your dog, so please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make sure you feel that you have nothing to worry about. I work a full time job in digital media and am generally remote Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays so your dog will have me around all day. I can also take great modeling shots of your dog that I'd happily send you to boost your/their instagram account! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for more information about myself. When boarding, your dog would just be with me in my apartment with an elevator and doorman. I live near Central Park and can take your dog on long walks, or just hang out at home. We can play with squeaky toys, get a lot of pets, and cuddle to a movie! When housesitting I will respect your house rules and make sure to keep your place as tidy (or more) as when I arrived.
Reviews
Samantha did such an amazing job of looking after our cat Lyla! Lyla looked so happy and relaxed when we returned and Samantha sent us great updates and photos/ videos of Lyla every day!
Sam continues to be the most reliable and dependable sitter we could ask for. We have so much trust leaving our Athena with you!!
Samantha is such a fantastic dog sitter! Super communicative, including sending so many great photos of Remy who was clearly happy and comfortable in her care. I would recommend her wholeheartedly!
Samantha is the best! I love using her to stay with my mini goldendoodle when I leave town. Samantha is easy to work with, very communicative, and takes great care of my dog. I’d highly recommend her!

If your dog needs to let out energy I could take them on multiple walks or a trip to the dog run if they would be ok there. If your dog has lower energy and just needs love and/or company I’m happy to do that as well! I appreciate any information I can get about your dog’s schedule and needs so I can give them the best care possible.
Home
Information Samantha K. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your dog’s general food + walk schedule. If your dog bites or shouldn’t get too close to people or other dogs on walks. I would like to know the level of your dog’s potty training. I have a big white rug so if needed I can cover it with a tarp- please let me know if you think that would be advised! I’d also like to know if your dog tends to bark often, especially overnight (if boarding in my home). I have neighbors that would have an issue with that unfortunately. And any other specific things I should know about your dog’s personality, including anything I can do to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
We can walk around Central Park or go to the dog park if allowed. If your dog has toys of their own that they prefer over mine please feel free to bring them. Or if your dog prefers to sit and cuddle/snooze that works for me too!
