My passion is caring for pets

Pet care experience

I truly enjoy being around all different kinds of animals. Ever since I was little my family and I have always had a dog and now I have my own. I will play with your animal and treat them just how you would. Pets are just like family and I treat them that way. I have been dog sitting since I was 14 and always enjoyed taking dogs on walks and playing with them. I am always willing to help care for animals whenever I can. I love to work hard and go above and beyond. I would do so when taking care of your pets too! If your pet has any special needs I will strive to help with those. The pets safety and we'll being is my priority when I care for them.

Samantha saved the day for us when our other River setter was a no show. Our Golden really liked having Samantha stay with him for the week and looked forward to seeing her. We definitely will use her again when we need a sitter

We have been booking Samantha a lot this summer and she is great to work with. She is trustworthy, reliable, and does a great job with our 105lb puppy! Before the first time watching Bella she stopped by and made sure that Bella was comfortable with her. Sam always sends pictures of their adventures and lets us know how Bella is doing, which is great to see and hear. We continue to book Sam and definitely recommend her

Samantha is awesome! She made an effort to meet our puppy before her visits with him, and even took him for a walk when she came. Having her stop by our house while we both work full-time has been helpful! Definitely recommend her services!

Samantha spent a lot time with my dog, Pep, and even took her on walks and to parks after asking me if she could. She has so much fun spending time with pets and it so sweet to them.

Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your pets I will use my knowledge to exercise each pet. I provide enrichment activities along with walks and games. I try my best to learn what your pet enjoys and provide them with activities to wear them out!

Information Samantha B. would like to know about your pet

It is very important for me to know any medical or behavioral differences the dog might have. I like to know things like allergies and if they tend to react to people, dogs, wild animals or something else. I also like to know what their routine schedule is and if there are any specific activities your dog likes to do.

A typical day

I love making sure dogs go to the bathroom right away and then we start playing! We go on walks around local neighborhoods or if there is a trail nearby I love going on the trails. When we are at home we play with toys or we participate in enrichment activities. The activities we do depend on the breed of dog and what they enjoy.
