About: Growing up on a farm I always had outside dogs like German shepherds and huskies until I convinced my parents to let me have an indoor one. That first little buddy is a morkie poo and at 8 years old is a whopping 6 pounds and a grumpy little guy. He got a friend 7 years ago, a maltipoo, who is extremely anxious and scared of most things. They both got a big sister, a mini Goldendoodle, who was trained as a service animal for deep pressure therapy. All their personalities couldn't be different from one another. I'm an aunt to a Maltipoo poo and 2 Morkies. I recently became a true dog mom this summer by my sweet mini bernedoodle, Olive. My experiences range from grumpy and smaller than a shoe, to big wild, and free. I am a full-time graduate student in a fully online master's program. I would love the opportunity to not only get out of the house and have my dog socialize with others when appropriate but to also see all the good boys and girls and take them for a stroll. I treat all puppers and doggos with the same love and care that I do my own. I do cater my behavior to complement that of a dog's personality. Giving extra love and time to anxious or senior dogs while offering energy and playfulness to the more confident ones.
About: Available hourly shifts are usually from 6 to 7 am and 11 to 3 pm. My family owns two golden doodles, both over a year old, and we have experience caring for and walking dogs. I’d be happy to provide walking services for your dog as well. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule on most weekdays. Weekends can be busy at times, but I’ll update my availability when I’m free. I will take your pet on safe walks in your neighborhood to keep them comfortable and happy by following familiar paths at a pace that suits them.

“I’m very appreciative of Sam, I message her the day of asking if she could help me out with my dog. And she gladly did so. She took plenty of photos to show me that my dog was having a great time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
