Dogs are my favorite people
Pet care experience
My great love for dogs began with my Uncle breeding Labradors and introducing me to my first furry companion. As I grew up, I saw my pup Joy grow too; from floppy limbed puppy to compassionate-eyed wisdom. Recently, at a friends farm, I helped birth a litter of Miniature Dachshunds. My Friend was out at the coast when the mother went into labor. In a moment that could have been panicky I was able to calmly take care of the mother and her five new healthy puppies. I think dogs of all ages are special and I love the different personalities between breeds and mixed breeds. Young or old or dogs that need to take medication or need special care will be fine with me. I feel as long as you the owner feel comfortable with your dog in my care, I, as well as your dog, will feel comfortable too. I would be open to take your dog on a field trip to the park on a nice day or just stay in and cuddle. If your dog wants to go on a walk, two walks, has to "go pee" 5 times within 30 minutes (but really just wants to go sniff the daisies outside) I am okay with doing this!!

Samantha is the absolute best cat sitter! She always makes everything so easy for us when we are away, and our cats are always so happy to be taken care of by her💓
Samantha has been such a great house sitter for us, our dog doesn’t travel well and it’s such a relief to have Samantha come over and stay with him (he has severe separation anxiety and doesn’t do well being boarded). Super respectful of our home, tidy, follows all instructions to a tee and is flexible with any/all plans. A+
Samantha is so great with our dog on walks and always does extra helpful and thoughtful stuff like taking in packages and mail.
Sam was so wonderful with our little poodle! She was extremely communicative and very patient with his GI/anxiety issues, including being very gracious when dealing with some unfortunate messes related to his medical issues. It was clear her primary concern was making sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were gone on an extended trip, and she also made sure we were always in the loop on how things were going. We could tell from the pictures she shared and his behavior when we returned that he had had a really great time with her. In addition to being a caring dogsitter, Sam was an excellent houseguest and left our home spotless. We would absolutely book with her again!

No breed preference. Please let me now of any Do Not's for your dog, i.e. Do not touch Lucky's food while she eats, she will bite, or Do not take Cooper near loud cars, he will try to run.
A typical day
We can go on walks around your neighborhood or down to The dog park. When the weather is nice I'd love to take your dog on short hikes or for a drive with the windows down and ears flying in the wind, if thats what he or she likes.
