Pet care experience
Foster fail mom!
Hi! I’m Samantha, and caring for dogs has been a huge part of my life for years. I’ve volunteered with two different animal shelters, where I helped care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Through fostering, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs who have medical needs, giving medications, helping shy or anxious pups adjust, and providing the patience and consistency they need to thrive. My most recent foster ended up becoming a “foster fail”—my sweet girl, Petunia, who officially stole my heart and became a permanent member of my family. Before Petunia, I had my first dog, Cooper, for 16 wonderful years. Losing him was incredibly difficult, but he reinforced just how much joy and purpose dogs bring to my life. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or just having someone keep them company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also currently on the waitlist to volunteer with additional local shelters because I genuinely love helping dogs whenever I can. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own.

I have a fenced in dog yard at my apartment complex that I take my dog to! We also love the walking path in Everett that goes down to Encore!
Ratings and reviews
Sam is incredible! She has an innate love of dogs that absolutely comes through in how she relates to them. Our dog Ari can be a bit slow to warm up to others and she adored Sam immediately. Not only that, but Sam is prompt, reliable, and communicative. You never have to worry about your dog being well taken care of with Sam. Will definitely book again!
Samantha was wonderful!! She was so kind and patient with our anxious pup! She took great photos and was so reassuring via text that they were loved and taken care of. We can’t wait to see Samantha again! Thank you!!
Samantha has significant experience as an animal caregiver. She is a previous volunteer at a rescue where she fostered a wonderful dog and now adopted!! She treats her dog, Petunia, like her own child. I would trust her with both of my dogs, young and old.
