Full-time Animal Lover
Pet care experience
My love for animals started at a very young age. At 12 years old, I adopted my first dog, which the pound said was a chow-chow mix, and my love for animals only grew from there. At 13 years old, I volunteered at a dog boarding facility known as Dogtopia, at 14 I volunteered at a dog grooming facility known as Chewy’s Dog Wash. In 2018 I started working for a business called Alaska Dogs Unleashed, who professionalize in dog care and off-leash dog walking. I still work for them to this day and love every second of it. In 2019 I became certified in Canine First Aid through DogSafe. Last but not least, in this last year I adopted my second dog, a chihuahua mix. As one can see, my world revolves around dogs of all types. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Reviews
Sam is extremely responsible and thorough. We were struggling to find a good sitter and she worked out perfectly. Highly recommend.
Sam is one of the few people I trust to watch my pets. I have a senior dog that requires medication and frequent bathroom trips and a high energy adolescent dog that requires a lot of exercise. They are always calm and happy after Sam comes to dogsit. Knowing that my dogs are being well taken care of makes traveling so much easier. I highly recommend Sam!

Safety, trust & environment
I cannot board animals at my apartment due to my boyfriend’s dog being wary of new animals and because of her resource guarding issues. I would love to, but I would feel horrible and not be able to forgive myself if anything bad happened. But, I will gladly make frequent stops to your house or even stay at your house if needed to care for your lovely animals.
Information Sam D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they are dog/human/animal aggressive or not so I can be sure to take necessary precautions if needed. I would also like to know of any past or current ailments of the pup and how to care for them. I want your pups to be in the best care possible!
A typical day
At my current job I take dogs on walks at Alcantra Trails, Bumpus Ball fields, the Palmer Hay Flats, and the Lake Lucille Dog Park, or if needed, I stick around the pups house for walks. I can take your dogs on walks and runs to get their energy out.

Please let me know how I can help you, and I will do my best to accommodate you!
