Pet care experience
For the last 10 years I’ve taken care of my own dogs, pets of family and friends, and provided pet-sitting services in northern Virginia and DC. I’ve cared for dogs from the tiniest of kittens to the largest of Bernese Mountain Dogs. I often take care of pets on short notice, and will help with an array of services from walks, to vet and grooming visits. One thing you can expect from me is pet care at the same level that I care for my beloved boy. Especially since the pandemic, I have experienced how hard it can be to leave your pet, even for just a few hours. To provide peace of mind and updates, I will match your preferred communication style (I personally like to see video updates when I’m away from my dog). My goal with every visit is to make sure your pet is stimulated, fed, and loved to soften any tensions of missing you.
Reviews
Samantha was always on time to take care of our needy kitties.
Samantha was wonderful and very responsive! She cleaned all the cat dishes and took out the trash before we got home which was so nice!! She also dealt with some annoying logistics for getting into our place so well and she took great care of our cat. Definitely recommend!
Samantha was very communicative and detailed. She took great care of our boy.
Our space was in great shape and our cat was happy.

Safety, trust & environment
I usually offer a range of services including house visits, walks, house sitting, pet transportation, etc. However, as of August, I have a new puppy in the home and can only offer boarding for vaccinated, spayed/neutered dogs and cats.
Information Samantha B. would like to know about your pet
I want to hear more about your pet! Please let me know about their needs and their likes so we can make your pet as content as possible.
A typical day
On a normal day, I love taking dogs I’m watching to Iwo Jima where they can run around on a long leash and take in the park. In great weather, I take dogs to Rock Creek Park to play in the wooded areas and in the stream.
Services
Samantha can watch in your home
Availability
I have a very flexible schedule for boarding dogs in my home as I’m a student on a hybrid, online/in-person, class schedule. I wake up early to have play time with pets then will usually be away for 4 hours max if I have an in-person class that day (3x a week). I spend the majority of my day at home so I have ample time for attention and playtime throughout the day. Please let me know if you are looking for 24/7 care with no time away from your pet. Some school days may make it infeasible to provide such care.
