Pet care experience
Hello fellow dog lovers! I have had dogs my whole life and know what it's like to be in a pickle and could use some help making sure your dog is taken care of. I have experience pet sitting, dropping in on my friends dogs, and also taking them for walks. I've navigated some tricky situations while dog sitting such as the dog slipping out of his leash, and handled it calmly and got him back home safe and sound. I know that each dog has their own personality and quirks, and can cater to your dogs needs. Working to maintain your dogs routine and giving them snuggles to make them feel safe while you are away is my top priority. Dog sitting in your house will hopefully ease any anxiety or stress your dog may have while you are away since they are in a familiar place, especially if this is one of the first times. I am available during the week early mornings and early evening and nights, and weekends. I am local to Billerica, and work in the Waltham area and may be available during my hour lunch break for drop-ins or walks as well. I would love the chance to meet your dog and watch them while you are away, take them for a walk or play with them, and help you out.
Reviews
Samantha is a loving, caring, dependable dog person. She has a dog who she adores, and who recently went through some medical trouble. Following her instincts, she noticed something was off and consulted her vets, who said they caught a major problem by bringing the pup in. In other scenarios, she loves to stay active and enjoy the outdoors- and we used to get together to walk our dogs around before I moved away. Samantha is so responsible and always is concious of other people's time, so she is on time and doesn't miss appointments. In short, she's amazing and she won't let you down!
Samantha is a genuine and caring individual who puts her heart and soul into everything she does. I've been lucky enough to know Samantha for the better part of a decade and have witnessed her interact with and care for her dog, my dogs and stranger's dogs as well. She is energetic enough to keep up with spunky puppies and compassionate enough to care for elderly dogs and those who need a little more specialized attention. As my beloved Crystal grew older and developed health issues, Samantha is the only person, besides my family, who I'd trust to care for her. Samantha is a gift to all humans and animals who cross her path.
Samantha was my babysitter for seven years during the summers for my three kids. My kids love Samantha (as do my husband and I) and she is unofficially "part of my family". She is very responsible and loves my kids like they are her own siblings. While we do not have a dog, there are times when we have dog sat for our friends that have been away on vacation and Samantha has always willingly also taken care of the dog while we were at work, while she was also taking care of the kids. I know Samantha loves animals (one big thing her and my oldest have in common) and she would be great walking or taking care of any pet.
Samantha is very gentle and loving with furry friends! She has helped with my Goldendoodle Howie, and also is a dog mom herself. I would recommend Samantha as a caretaker of any pup!

You know your dog best and I would love your suggestions on the nearest park for a walk, and your dog's favorite neighborhood spots. One of my favorite places to go is Horn Pond in Woburn. I've taken dogs there before and it is a great place with shaded areas and many different trails to explore as well as concrete paths. A stroll around the block is always nice, but getting out and exploring new areas, walking paths and trails, is always fun too (and I have no problem transporting a dog in my car - a Rav 4). I have no problem getting down on the ground and play with your dog or taking them outside to play fetch.
