Pet care experience

I've had dogs in my life since before I could walk and have many years of pet sitting (including cats and small animals) as well as dog walking under my belt. I sit on the Board of Directors of a dog rescue based out of the Maryland/DC/Virginia area, have owned and ridden horses for over 20 years, have fostered a medically challenged senior dog (including daily insulin injections), and have many years of experience working at and managing busy horse farms. I have a particular soft spot for senior pets and have many years of experience with managing medication schedules and protocols for both horses and dogs including IM and Sub-q injections. Anyone who knows me can tell you I am truly an animal over people type of person ;) When I'm not working I am at the barn or taking my pup on hikes and I would love to help other busy fur parents take care of their loved ones. I know how essential it is to trust your pet sitters and I can assure you that any pets in my care are treated with the same kindness and respect of my own animals. I would love to get to know your furry friends!

Sammy was great! She was super communicative and reliable so we never had to worry while we were gone. Would not hesitate to leave our kitties in her care next time we leave town!

Information Samantha B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, or behaviors that I should be aware of. I am comfortable with dogs that are dog reactive/not dog friendly but would like to know beforehand so that I am prepared.

A typical day

I would love to take your dog on long walks, hikes at a local trail, or play games in the backyard! For more senior pets who just want to hang out we can chill on the couch (if allowed) and spend some quality time together!
