Safety, trust & environment
I am very aware of pups that try to make a bolt for it out the front doors. I always try to keep a close eye on coming in and out of the house. I have walked dogs at shelters before that pull on leashes and have learned several safety precautions to help keep both of us safe. I always walk with a dog deterrent sound alert. I also always assume that a pet could be aggressive towards the pet I am walking. I move out of their way and give them the right of way, or move to the other side of the street. I am aware of toxins for the pets and am very vigilant to keep a close eye on the pets. I have worked with fearful dogs and aggressive dogs. I give fearful dogs space and handled situations based on owners instructions. I will not do anything an owner has not instructed to do.
Information Samantha B. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences. I love large and small dogs. I have watched up to 5 dogs in one house and have taken care of dogs ranging in size from chihuahuas to great danes. I love energetic dogs such as pit bulls and border collies, but I also love snuggling with older or less energetic dogs. I also love cats and watch quite a few of them. If your pet has any fears, where they prefer to be fed, handled, and walked, those things would be helpful to know. If a pet is scared of thunderstorms or loud noises. I would also love to know their favorite things! We want to make this as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
A typical day
Love going on walks or playing with them. I am used to playing ball and frisbee. I have also done mind puzzles with my own pets.

Pet care experience
I have been around animals all of my life. I grew up on a farm and I constantly had cows, rabbits, ducks, cats and dogs around me. I worked at a wildlife rescue taking care of all types and sizes of animals. I volunteered for no kill shelters walking dogs and did meetups to help dogs find their forever home. I have 2 dogs; one is very energetic, a bird dog, and the other is a small to medium sized dog that is more relaxed. We enjoy hiking and going on adventures to the pet store or around town. I love to keep our dogs minds sharp and encourage activities that engage their brains. This includes puzzles, hide and seek, or even just a long walk exploring the area. I love taking dogs on walks and being outside, especially when it is nice weather. Feel free to ask about anything and I am willing to answer any of your questions.

Reviews
Samantha is always great. Very reliable and communicative. Couldn’t be better honestly!
Samantha is truly a gem! She has watched our dogs several times and takes such good care of them while we’re away. I’m a paranoid pet parent so it’s hard for me to leave my babies with anyone, but Samantha makes it easy. She easily learned our dogs behaviors, which are very opposite from one another, and noticed the little details about their habits and caters to that. She was even able to gain the trust of our extremely skittish rescue (who is very hard to win over). My husband and I look forward to our pup-dates every day and always laugh at the pictures she gets of our dogs. If you’re nervous about hiring someone to watch your animals, I hope this review helps you feel a little more comfortable hiring Samantha for your pet sitting needs.
Samantha did a great job. Very conscientious. Pets love her. 5*****
Samantha has cared for our two cats periodically over the last three years. She always does a great job and I have peace of mind knowing our cats are well cared for while we are away.
