In search of boopable dog noses!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs over the past eight years and I've loved every single second of it. I had to move away from my family dogs for college, so now I take every chance I get to help give any new dog I meet an amazing day. I can aid in training your dog basic tricks (sit, down, etc.) and manners (no barking, potty training, etc.), but am equally happy to spoil them with treats and scratches! I can walk up to two dogs at once while still being able to give each dog loving attention. I'm also used to dealing with potty accidents inside the home, should that be a concern of yours. Additionally, I have a lot of practice with taking care of high anxiety or stressed dogs, given that one of my own dogs deals with heavy ptsd from her life before we adopted her.

Bunny and Pepper love walks with Sam! Sam communicates consistently and well, is always on time, and is diligent about giving the dogs some needed exercise while keeping it fun. She’s great at navigating two dogs at once and is clearly very experienced with pets. I feel great knowing that my dogs are left in good hands and are getting lots of love!

Super responsive and responsible. She was nice enough to meet me last min for a meet n greet before the walk. Extremely flexible and an amazing human to trust your dog with. It was clear she was very experienced with dogs and loved being around them. I loved that she took as much care of my dog as she would her own. Thank you sm Sam!!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a fenced-in grass play/potty area that has more grass surrounding the building. There are great walking paths right next to me, and even some great hiking trails slightly further that I'd love to take your pup to. I’m more than happy to walk in your neighborhood, or bring your dog to a nearby park!

Information Sam R. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any abnormal behavioral characteristics (anxiety, potty accidents, weird habits, etc.), please let me know so that I can better take care of your furry friend!

A typical day

When with new furry friends, I tend to start with a more relaxed walk with fewer dogs and people before eventually moving to more utilized paths and dog parks. With shyer dogs, we tend to spend at least some of our day doing a lot of low-key trust exercises. Through this, I'll be able to show your dog how caring and loving I am. For more outgoing dogs, we'll head straight to all the dog hot spots in the area, and play until both of us are panting.
